   I'm using the Merovingian 3.3.1 ticket, and I'm currently encountering NPCs that are one level above me.  In the past, this would happen if you used an archive ticket without disbanding a previous mission team, but that doesn't seem to work anymore.  I've also tried jacking out and jacking back in again.

   And before anyone asks, no, I have no problem with the difficulty.  It has to do with the fact that I prefer to gain levels at my own pace, and fighting NPCs that are one level above me gives me a bit too much EXP for my liking. ^_^;;;

ALL the Archive Missions are on Hard mode!...for me, anywho.

It's always like this:

First Mission : Easy

Everything Else As Long As You Stay On The Team(how does PlatinumPlatypus do it?) : Hard

   That's what I mentioned before.  The NPC difficulty would be on easy in archive missions as long as you disbanded your mission team before you started a new one.

   The problem I'm having is that they're always on hard now, which is strange.

Have you tried doing a normal mission on easy and finishing it, then disbanding the team and then trying the archive mission thing?

   I did that a short time ago, no change.  Tomorrow I'm going to do a normal mission on easy and then start an archive mission without disbanding.  Just in case.
