Part of me thinks it isn't just a UI Bug.
Was taking the Riverside Control Point today challenging level 4 all is good and well, got to the point where I had attacked and defended and when the whole thing was over I noticed it said Normal in the top left.
Hmmm that didn't seem right and immediately thought oh it's bugged and says Normal even though it's challenging.(then again on the defend part I had some RED mobs (not on challenging CP level 4) never had that before.
So as I left the Control point I got to the boundary of where it starts/finishes and my difficulty changes back to challenging Huh!, so I tested it back and forth and blow me down.
When I enter the control point the difficulty changes Normal when I leave the difficulty changes back to challenging.
Now i'm thinking the crap loot I get in the boxes including yellow is it levelled back to normal or stays on challenging.
Watch top left of vid (difficulty changes)

Here is a more revealing clip, the Control Point difficulty changes from Challenging to Normal the second the Enemy Leader dies (check top left difficulty setting) when i'm climbing the ladder.

Or is this normal and part of the game?
At first I thought it's just an UI visual bug, as well, but now I am starting to think it actually affects loot too, because I've been getting a very low amount of loot when doing CP4's and the rolls are lower, as well in most cases compared to what I was seeing prior to that bug.
If indeed affects loot, this should be fixed asap with a hot fix patch or something, because at the moment It feels very pointless to be running CP4's for the loot.
For me it's the second video that does it for me, as soon as the leader dies, it changes to normal.( I recorded that last night) I only went back to that recording because of today when I noticed it, glad I managed to capture the instance it changes when the leader dies.Originally Posted by Deathlyhearts Go to original post
When you go into the supply room though it will change back to whatever your global difficulty is.Originally Posted by Cadillac-Jack Go to original post
So Global heroic during clearing CP, when everything is clear it will show normal, enter supply room it goes back to heroic.
No it doesn't it stays on Normal.Originally Posted by scarp99anzz Go to original post
This is the same control point at the top of the ladders (as seen in previous video) as I enter the Loot Room and open the chests. Notice it still says Normal.
This is literally after the leader dies and it changes to normal at the top of same ladder.. (oh and crap loot as well

Should have said mine does with what I wroteOriginally Posted by Cadillac-Jack Go to original post
Is your global on challenging?
Edit, I see it is.
yes,Originally Posted by scarp99anzz Go to original post
as you can see in both previous videos both on challenging including the same one as this last vid, it's the opening of the loot room of the CP that was on challenging 3 (as in previous vid)
Pair the last two vids together and its the same CP challenging 3
And i thought i was imagining things, done lots of CP4's last night and after killing the first boss on each CP it changes to normal......the end cache seems very un-rewarding too.Originally Posted by Deathlyhearts Go to original post
Yes just seen it.Originally Posted by Cadillac-Jack Go to original post
Mine definitely will show heroic global when clearing the CP, then normal when cleared, but then heroic once entering the supply room.
Don't think normal gives out 3 pieces of gear does it? normal would be level 1 CP, don't they just give out 2 pieces?
I first thought what you wrote when first encountering this, but the NPC's are clearly whatever level your Global is and the loot I get from heroic CP's is clearly not normal level, unless I'm getting top end normal on every drop.
