Captain Valiant Posted February 12 Posted February 12 When I solo radio missions (so far tested on 7 different characters), I get double the normal number of mobs. I have set my difficulty to -1, as well as transferring (one character) to a different server, to see if either of those things will remedy the situation. They have not.
Timeshadow Posted February 13 Posted February 13 This might be obvious but have you checked to make sure your team size is set to x1? It shouldn't carry over between characters but you never know with 20+ year old code. You wanna play Peacebringer?😒 Fine, but at least check out this guide first: Peacebringers STILL SUCK!!! (v. 1.1)

I have set my difficulty to -1, as well as transferring (one character) to a different server, to see if either of those things will remedy the situation. They have not. The difficulty (+/- #)/"I want to change the level I fight" doesn't affect the mob size; it adjusts the level. The mob size/"I want to change the number of heroes to which I'm equivalent" is set by the x#. But I'm a bit confused by your use of "double the number of mobs". I'm not even sure what that means. Do you think that the mob size is the size that it should be but there are more mobs than you think that there should be in a mission? What content are you running that you think there are "double the number of mobs" or is this in any content that you run (and can you narrow that down any? Hero, villain, Praetorian? Normal missions? Tips? AE?) If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore. (It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.

So I logged back to the character choice screen to exit and then came back into the game, set my Notoriety to -1 and team size to 1 and found only two opponents standing there. I did the same on a different character and had the same result.

Uncle Shags Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Shoot... I came here hoping you figured out a way to double the max mobs... 1

But on a full team of high level folks sometimes it seems like even bigger mobs would be fun.

If it was actually for real, I think it is something that you have to set every time you login as it won't stick through a game launch. I don't have as many City of Heroes dreams as I used to have Dynasty Warriors dreams (when I was trying to figure out how to defeat content), but it happens.

I don't have as many City of Heroes dreams as I used to have Dynasty Warriors dreams (when I was trying to figure out how to defeat content), but it happens. iirc, team size could be set higher at one point using the commandline, but it was wonky and I think now it's restricted to 1-8.
