Bugged TotA

First of all, sorry for my bad English (not my native).

So, I've started this league in SSF Ruthless. Everything was good in it. Raised my rank in TotA to 2000 and was good with it, no problems.
Couple of days ago I decided to have some fresh feelings and started "trade" Ruthless. And some strange things happend with TotA.

1. From the first rank I saw, for example, couple of Lunar turtles on round 2 with other top tier mobs. Was a bit excited. :)

This is an example of a low rank trial (3-d round forgot to screenshot), this is a set. Look at the tier of mobs:








I managed to victory only because have huge experience and some luck.
I don't remember such high tier mobs (almost all of them in each round) appear in low rank TotA when I started SSF Ruthless. This is overwhelming.

Ok, so I left idea doing TotA for some time and level through campaign.
And today, being leveld to 62, went to TotA to check if something changed and to play. Nothing changed and even more. Look at the screenshot, I have Ngamahu favors, but not himself, so can't recruit:



It's bugged. Totally bugged with mob tiers and abilities.
Seems like stopped in 2000 rank from other league (SSF), but lower level of top tier mobs, and no ability to use all favors.

Bug report:

The flavour thing is because you haven't killed Utula And Kaom yet in the campaign, which means they can't be in the Hall of the Dead yet.

Not sure about the other issue, but it does look funy. So you may well be right that the previous 2000 ranking has stuck around, despite you being almost at 0 rank now. Very odd.

Don't know if TOTA itself plays differently in ruthless, but I'm guessing not. In my case, at 2000 rank, it's not uncommon to see the loveable turtle in round 3 on Mr Oneshots the screen. Plus several Goliaths. In the latter rounds, there can be 4 goliaths plus heaps of other super units, like the turtle.

I'm in act 8 in main campaign, so Kaom is dead if I'm right.
And, yeah, mobs tier is "awesome".

BTW, rewards (ordinary round for ruthless) are also more towards 2000 ranking -- I see almost every time tatoos in the lists. Being 100 rank TotA and level 62 my character.

Somehow connected SSF Ruthless and "Trade" Ruthless. Bug.

Doesn't look like the case from the screenshots. The XP bar rises pretty fast between matches, and the winning image shows that the rank was 10 to begin with, which would indicate a level 10 character. At least I noticed that the rank increased by 1 when I levelled up, so I reckon it's like that from early levels too. I started on TOTA after I was done with the campaign, so around level 80 I think.

You can try to send a mail to support@grindinggear.com. If something is wrong with the character and such, they'll probably be able to tell and fix it.

GGG just don't care about this.

Level 2 char straight after entering town:

Why do you think that monster tier depends on rank?
Ranking determines the trial's monster level (not tier), damage and damage reduction.

So You think 3 lunar turtles and top tier monsters on round 3 rank 10 TotA is ok and not bugged? As the rarity of rewards I see also.

C'mon, open your eyes.

Ok, just for fun i started "soft" SSF. Don't know, what rewards should be, what monsters -- look at screenshots (level, rank):
