So has anyone run this lately with a lower level alt that has run it before with their main? If so, was yours ridiculously easy? Murphy's Lawyer and I ran this last night with our alts, Freedom Prime and Crimsonstar, along with some friends from work. Our levels were 20-21, with FP being TF leader at 21. We NEVER saw a clockwork over level 20. FP even tried the difficulty slider and not only did the level of the mobs not go up, in one mission it actually stocked LESS mobs then it had the mission before on the same map.

Plus we NEVER saw Babbage. Remember his great ambush at the end of the third warehouse mission in Skyway? Well, that was the END of the TF for us. It contained the Clockwork King. I'm also pretty sure the TF was short by about two or three missions.

Did they make a huge change to this TF, or were we just bugged to hades last night? Our friends from work thought Murph and I were demeaning the efforts our team made when we badmouthed the TF at the end. We had to tell them "No, you don't get it, this should have been harder." Seriously it was the ONLY TF where I NEVER had any fear of faceplanting.

It was so easy that we have, if not the record time, then close to it. We did it in under 4 hours. We started at about 9:30 pm and at 1:10 am we left the last mission.

I just read the storyarc thread on cityofheroesonline, and I notice it no longer makes any mention of Babbage.

I don't know what they did, but they really watered down this TF. It got to the point where it was boring. As a blaster, I found it somewhat sad that I was at no point even remotely close to faceplanting.

We had a good team, but even still, if the TF had been set to a proper difficulty it should have been challenging.

Actually it does, Murph. Check out the last line on the second phase of mission 7. I posted on the main thread and one person responded that it does still spawn a Babbage ambush. I think we got hosed.

Folks intercept Babbage sometimes, before he can get to the party. Whoch is pretty sad, because he spawns awfully close now.

Yeah sometimes people try to grab him before he gets to you. I've seen people grab him from a party before. It's very uncool!! :(

I weighed in on it. Also had a reply for the poster that suggested that said people aren't waiting long enough.

No more Babbage? That's the whole point of doing the Synapse TF... O_o
