Why are we seeing lv667 opponents in Galactus?

Can someone in red please explain why opponents in Galactus are showing up in the battle screen with levels far beyond the lv395 cap?

Is this a bug?

Is this part of the new PvE scaling that was supposed to make things fairer?

Is this the price we're going to have to pay for having buffed 4*s with crazy high health and damage capabilities?

Why are the levels displayed on the node screen lower than those that show up on the battle screen?

Why are crazy drastic changes being made to the core gameplay with zero communication?

    Is it a display error like when Surfer was appearing a billion levels above his actual level, or do they actually have 50k health in battle?

    It's real. Muscle goons with 40k health that drop 2500 strike tiles.

    I thought scaling would be raised sooner or later thanks to 5* chars that made level 395 enemies trivial.

    I was only half-joking when I said on LINE that I was sure that also us lowlifes that are running a 4* crew would get this crazy scaling.

    Scaling considers my highest chars my tinykitty.
    Revert this. NOW.

    Looks like returning the buffs to pre-R91 formulas somehow ripped the lid off scaling?

    Sorry, which buffs returned to pre-R91 formula? My 275 Kamala is still dealing only a paltry 4k damage with Embiggened Bash.

    I could only give you screenshots of our alliance LINE chat, as I wouldn't shut up about it once I noticed it, but didn't think to take screenshots. I'll take screenshots during my next clear this evening.

    I expected that they would raise cap in PVE, but i also expected that when i enter the match which advertise enemy levels 395 i wouldn't get 667 instead.

    Last night during the final grind in the hunt I remember that both goons and tile movers had more health than usual, but didn't think of checking the levels in match. Would be nice if devs could say a thing or two about this..

    I'll answer for the devs since they're a broken record.

    "Yep somethings wrong...but we won't tell you exactly what's wrong. Don't worry we have a 'fix' that we'll release in R96. But don't worry this only effects a small number of players so it's no big deal really."

    shh.. they are not alone, just in case you thought of some niche character that could steel the tiles they've put hood to keep them company icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Stax had the muscle goons. I have a screenshot of a morale boost goon with 27k health during PvE grind, but since I was grinding, I didn't think to check what the level was. But it had to be pretty stupid high, since I've never seen them with anything close to that much health.
