Difficulty scaling takes into account which characters you are able to use, not any you are not able to use. I tested this internally. I imported the roster I play with and here are the top 5 characters: This is what my roster looks like in the next heroic mission (Dark Avengers: Heroic): This is what the first mission that is scaled. This is what my roster looks like: When I remove Old Man Logan from my roster (Selling 5-Stars is much less painful on a development build...), this is what my top 5 look like: My Heroic roster did not change, and when I go back to the mission I showed earlier, the levels did not change at all: It looks like something is still weird with the difficulty banner, and I will make sure there is a bug logged for that. Thanks everyone, I hope this was helpful.
JVReal wrote: My only concern with the test you just performed is that it is my understanding that base scaling is determined when you first join, and doesn't change until you begin the next event. Even though you sold OML, you did not join the event new again to adjust the base of your scaling. Perhaps you could pull that roster into a test environment, sell OML FIRST, then join the event and see how that same node is scaled. That would be helpful.
Polares wrote: Mmm I don't know if this test is very useful Anthony, there have been not enough variation between both rosters. Removing just OML is not going to alter your scaling that much when your other chars are 275+ In this test he was just 70 levels above all the other chars. For this test you should have sold all 250+ level 4s, not just OML. If after selling your IMHB, your Jean, your deadpool, etc. your scaling is still the same then we can say there is no doubt about it, but this very small change in your roster I don't think we can safely say what you are saying is right (more when scaling is also determined in part by your previous performances in PvE). Also, are you using the new scaling or the old one? Because if it is the new one, your OML just has 6 covers. In fact there is at least one difference, the node went from trivial to easy after you sold OML. So basically you proved there is difference and it was using all chars not just the featured ones.
