Were you playing casual PVP? You may have had your difficulty set on Warlord or higher. ---

Nope this was ranked PVP ---

Looks like a bug, the AI stats look boosted from your difficulty setting. Play 1 game of Explore on ‘Normal’. Is this occurring in every single Rank PvP game, or was this just a one off? ---

Just a one off and after it didn’t show up on my log ---

This is definitely not behaving as intended if it is ranked PVP. This looks more akin to the stat bonuses applied in casual. If possible, could you get us a video or contact our support with further information? ---

I posted because I’ve heard of this same thing occurring in PvP GW once but that was months ago and only from a single battle, unfortunately the guildmate did not capture anything though. He could not replicate it afterwards, and obviously got his clocked cleaned that match (Bracket 1). ---

adding a simple text on top of the screen to show what mode we are playing (ranked, casual, explore, dungeon) could help a lot in sorting out this confusion, whether it was a human error when choosing battle or a real game bug. probably could lessen the load of support too. ---

Strat you may be referirng to me here, not sure, but yes I had this once before and was definitely in ranked PVP. I do have a screen shot on my xbox but sorry have no idea how to put into this thread. I’ve just PM’d you the screen shot if I could be so cheeky to ask if you know how to do it? ---

Im having simmilar issues in ranked PvP from time to time. Its the reason i opened an account here, cause i cannot find any reason why is that going on. Even found a guy with a same team as me and has roghly 2x higher stats in HP and armor while his magic was few points higher.
