Overleveled Council Lieutenants... (Yes, still. Yes, after the last patch.)

[BlakeTheDrake]

The last patch-notes said this was supposed to be fixed, but... I think they missed some!

 

Doc Buzzsaw's 'The Freakish Lab of Dr. Vahzilok', Part 2. In the first mission of this Level 30-35 arc, you're meant to infiltrate a Council base to steal a bunch of materials from them. I ran it at level 31, with no level-adjustment. The very first room of this very first map was filled with groups of Council, led by Level 35 Eclipse Nightwolf Champions. There were a few such groups deeper inside the base too. All the other mobs on the map, the boss at the end included, were level 31-32, as would be expected.

 

Rather lucky I was playing it on my Stalker, alongside a friend's Fortunata Widow - we were able to just stealth past all these Purple-conning mobs and finish the mission anyway. Had we been on any other AT, it would've been effectively impossible...

I ran into a similar problem.  The mission was part of the WarShade epic archetype questline "Fear and Loathing on Striga Isle".  The mission was "Catch Archon Saagar & Voight".  Running at -1 x 1 at level 25, there were two Council entities boxing with each other, with one "Vortex Cor Leonis Adjutant" minion at level *30*.

Okay, that's weird. Most definitely a bug and thanks for reporting it, but I and a friend just did that arc yesterday and never once saw an over-leveled Council. (We were both level 32s.)
