Been working with GM Sparky on diagnosing issue and we determined that for my ARCs (any, have tested across a few), the following situation arises regarding EBs:
1. If I explicitly select an EB as a Boss it spawns
2. If I try to include EBs as a group for either Patrols, or Ambushes, they do not spawn
- Create a custom villain group
- Select Standard character pane from Group Editor
- Double-click to select characters.. (e.g. War, Scarcity 35-54 range)
- Save
3. When I then specify this group as either a patrol or ambush, they won't show. If I augment group with non-EB characters (e.g. minion to boss) then those levels show not the EB (even tried adding AV into one of these groups but that didn't show either, just the minions, LTs, Bosses).
I know that Homecoming is different than Live. In Live, I was able to have EB-specific ambushes (custom group with those only those aforementioned Rikti EBs included) and that worked ok.
On a possibly related issue, when I use certain robot toons as enemy groups now (IDF, PPD), their shoulder pieces show up as white (thinking undefined). Same was true of Ravager Bosses. But main issue is the lack of spawning of EBs in ambushes/patrols.
Thank you
