If I remember right, horde spawns based on the level of the person with agro, when they are spawned. Try having a lowbie rush in first next time.

For whatever reason the Winter Lord monsters have been spawning with Winter Horde minions that are waaaaay above a zone's particular level. http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=280356 . Here's a screen I took the other day. but just today on Exalted I joined in helping an incarnate take out one (no buggy infinite horde though) in Cap that had 47+ minions, and just tonight I ran into another one in Atlas, also with 47+ frostlings. This one at least was out of the way This just seems ridiculous. I mean, players are supposed to be able to gang up on a GM when one spawns, Winter Lord or no, but the high level minions pretty much mean you need a 50+ person to form the team or you'll just faceplant. Now they're not all spawning like this, I did manage to spawn one myself in Steel City on Victory with my ill/rad controller and didn't have any problems, so just curious what's up. |

Namely because you guys would want to color tint the damn doves, or make them hawks/ravens/flying sharks/etc and that's just a headache I do...not...want...to deal with. |

Yah, they're the spawned attacks that WLs throw at high level foes.
So, yell at the highbies to dispatch them right away.

Yeah, I know that will never happen.
Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!

The present spawns aren't the issue. They spawn based on the level of the zone. It's the enemies that the Winter Lord spawns personally. Those are based on the level of whoever he happens to be targeting. Babbage does this too.

Maybe if you hug them long enough, then you'll melt your way through their cold heart rendering them inop?
Just means more bugs for us to kill.
