What level are your friends? If they are of a higher level than you, both you and the enemies will scale up closer to their level. And higher level enemies will have a better chance of dropping High End gear.
It's been a long time since I've played through the story. I don't remember for certain if you can raise the alert level of a Control Point until you hit level 30 (or 40 if you're playing the expansion).
My friends are about level 24. I've uninstalled the game and re-installing it. Hopefully that will start spawning the named enemies. I just wasn't sure if I missed something that meant they wouldn't spawn or if it was a bug. If not I'll just have to rely on them I guess. Just frustrating. Game is so buggy
Hello and thank you for your patience! Thanks caffeinatedneil for your assistance with this issue of PetitF1our not seeing named enemies spawning on their own account. PetitF1our , could you send me a full-screen and un-cropped image of your map?
Also, you mentioned re-installing the game. Have you tried restoring your licenses?
