I've been noticing that, for example, my silver questline boss, which was a silver with 11k, was more OP than a bigass alien gold elite with a blaster cannon. It literally had a 2 second cast that would totally screw me over if I didn't interrupt, and it's companions kept getting up after I killed them, and they were at 1 hp and were impossible to kill. And then there's the Blue Rancor things, the one on my BT class quest I have to kill there has 27k HP, and I could handle that, but it hits for 5k. (2 hit kill, impossible to interrupt, it's instant) I have one explanation for this: Beta testers didn't make it that far due to a limited crowd. I love the game though, and other than getting my *** kicked by giant blue Aliens, I'm totally satisfied.
