You sure the team leader didn't level up?

or DC and be replaced by someone a level higher
If you were one level below him and levelled up that would be another possibility but that seems unlikely given the 4 levels initial difference.
Mind of Gaia lvl 50 Defiant's first Mind/Storm 'troller.
Deadly Doc 50 Dark/Dark Corr
and lots more on Pinnacle,Union and Defiant
I'm quite sure. The leader was a level 50, exemped down to 35 for the task force.

I know that when I die on an iTrial that all the mobs that conned red and such switch to conning Purple while I'm laying there. Obviously because my level shift powers are disabled while I'm kaput. Since the conning color of mobs is dynamic--depending upon some kind of interaction between your computer and the server--maybe the normal bit of lag while entering a mission is causing what you see?
First, let me say that if I'm going to have a problem with the game, this is probably one of the better ones to have. Since I upgraded to 8 gigs of Ram and an i5-2500, any disconnections I've had have been ISP related and there has been virtually no lag and only a slight bit of rubberbanding from the mapserver getting a little confused about where my toon is supposed to be.
Since I've upgraded, I am usually the first to zone in. And, on my 50+3 toons, it's like I've no alpha or tier 4 Lore/Destiny for about 15-30 seconds until everyone else zones in.
I've grown used to that, but today, I was on a Manticore, and even though the level of the mob didn't change, the con color went from red to orange. I was on a level 31 toon, ssk'd to 35. So, I've no idea why this would happen, other than the game server needs time to figure out what level I really am. Now, I'm okay with that - but I'd like to know if this is a common thing for folks with better than average systems. The error makes sense (sort of) on incarnate trials, but it puzzles me that it happened on the task force.
It sort of made me mad because I had just done my incandescant Strike and left him with just a tiny sliver of hp, when I saw it change from red to orange. If he'd started as orange - as a level 35 boss should have been, in all likelihood, he'd have been defeated instead of making me hit him again.
I'm afraid I've gotten so accustomed to the color conning, I've gotten out of the habit of looking at what level they were, until this happened.
This ever happen to anyone else?
