Bosses Not Appearing For "Defeat a Boss"


Recommended Posts

So I have this story arc that I'm working on, and the list of foes in one mission is a mix of repurposed and recolored pre-existing bad guys, and there's one Custom Boss (set to Do Not Auto Spawn) and one Custom Lt.  So when I try and set up a "Fight a Boss" the only options that come up on the list for this grouping of foes are the two customs (one of which isn't even boss level).   I have plenty of spawn points for the boss ight, currently populated with the Lt.  Also was a bit odd I notice in that whichever pre-made boss I have in that group rarely ever seem to spawn naturally, like in a large group (yes, tried altering my difficulty settings, even tried a different toon).

 

But I would like to set one of those pre-made bosses for the Defeat a Boss.  Is this some sort of farming prevention "rule" that I don't understand?

Well - not sure its a rule, but basically, if you want to use that custom boss - you have to choose thier standard version from the standard mob, as a boss - then recolor them, and change their bio again.

Just the way it works for some reason.

Weird.  And didn't seem to make any difference.  😄

 

Oh well, in this one time, it's not too big a deal at least.
