Preview Bug in SQ

Has anyone else noticed that Preview for this month's Side Quest (that requires the S.E.I.Z) is WAY off?

I had to bail from bringing the wrong champs my first time in. It clearly showed there were 2 Mystics & on my other account, I've seen that means the pesky Spider, so I brought Torch for that fight. I double & triple checked and it was most definitely Mystic. Shape, colour, it was Mystic. I get in there, and they were both Techs. I did what I could but in the end I still had to bail because I didn't have proper counters (I'm Cavalier & was fighting Lvl 4/what was meant for Thronebreaker).

Today, I go to Preview. 2 Mystics & 1 Tech, 1 of the Mystics was the Boss. I knew that would be Spidey as I've seen him as the Boss several times. I bring Torch again. I go in, it's 1 Mystic (Dr. Strange who I don't need Torch to fight), 1 Tech & now the Boss is Mr. Negative. Nothing like what it was showing it to be.

I've known this game is broken for a long time, that Kabam wants to get money from us. I get it, they're a business. But this is straight up deceiving, I don't even feel bad when I say, lying to us.

    You really only need to counter the node anyway.

    Make sure you have a counter for a potential Peni or Mystic spidey boss.

    The opponents are randomized from a select group once you enter. On each defender on the preview you are able to cycle through and see the potential options. What shows first is not indicative of what you will see on your next entry.

    Doesn't that kind of, like 100%, defeat the purpose of Preview though? I'm not looking for potentials. I get they don't want to show who, as that happens in Act 5 stuff (post Collector I believe) and I'm very fine that. But I feel Preview should at least properly show Classes.

    If some of the potentials are different classes, then showing the actual class from among those potentials will indeed be showing you the actual defender there. Thus it would be defeating the purpose of it being a random mystery.

    Probably shouldn’t be showing the Class at all. But an alternative is to not even allow ANY Preview (which used to be the case with limited-entry side quests in the past).

    Agreed. I like this setup, the benefit is in showing the nodes. And there aren’t really that many options you need to be prepared for.
