Ok in Obtain cupids arrow mission new valentines day one I go in level 35 myself and all the carnys are level 40. I'm pretty sure they spawn lower level cause they have those tents in St.Martial so should I bug report this? Anyone else see this?

Yes. You should file a /bug report in game.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

Posi posted in the offical discussion for the event that it is a known issue and they are going to post a work around or some such thing.


total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

I cannot fathom why they proceed to push items to live when they have more bugs than a Louisiana swamp.

What's happening is that the system is pulling up the wrong enemy group.

Certain enemy groups exist in both CoH and CoV, but have different spawns - redside Circle of Thorns get Hordelings, Hellfrosts and Succubi, red Tsoo get Blue Ink Men, and so on. Blueside Carnies don't exist below level 40; on the redside they go down to level 30. On an all-hero team, the system loads blueside Carnies, and if the team is lower than 40, screw you, you get level 40 Carnies.

I don't know why Posi said "we'll post a workaround later" instead of posting it now - we've known how to fix it for years.

Just like heroes farming Hordelings from Terrigol's mission before side-switching, the trick is to force the system to spawn the redside version of the group: Have a villain enter the mission first, and the redside group will be the one that spawns. Red Carnies are 30-50, so the level will be based on your group size and difficulty setting.

The ingame message last night stated this will only happen in an All Hero team - if you are teamed with a villain, rogue or Praetorian the mobs spawn at the correct level.

Unfortunately, I can at least debunk the "rogue" part of that statement. Last night I was with a team of heroes doing the hero version; I was using a rogue aligned character. Our team lead was level 30; and all the Carnies were still level 40. "Mopped up the floor with us" is putting it kindly....

Did you try having the Rogue enter the mission first, as I suggested upthread? It should have had the same effect as having a villain enter first.
