I'm doing level 2 kill missions, and today i got my first storyline mission since the patch. The targets were 3x battleships, 5x cruisers amd 8 frigates. 
Looks like a bug to me.
Make sure you check the targets before warping in to a storyline mission...

This is a known issue. I reported it the first day of patch, I'm hoping it will be fixed today or tomorrow. Hope that helps.

Hi Takanis 
I also helped out another guy with a level 2 storyline, it contained 3 Amarr Navy Omens and an Amarr Navy Detective...
It's not quite as hard of course as what Takanis got, but I've tried it with a Harpy, and nearly lost it before even killing the Detective... (I do level 3 kill missions in that Harpy comfortably)
I don't think that mission is even possible with a single cruiser, unless you are quite nimble and skilled...
Anyway, good to know you devs are on it... $#(@ happens  |

Is there a general page with all known issues of `the current patch` and wether or not they're under attention? Imo, eve could do with a nice bugtracking system (non-forum-based) so everybody can easily see wether or not something is reported already.
(No, the "Known issues"-forum doesn't really contain uptodate information about the current patch and it's known issues.)

As an experienced player who's ignored agents in the past and just started doing them, it's a nice surprise to get something tricky - it breaks up the monotony. I think they should keep these as occasional low level missions albeit with big fat warnings for the noobies and no loss to standings for declining/failing.

3xbattleships are clearly lvl4 stuff
It's like placing Diablo into the first stage of act I and then expecting new characters flipping out in joy about the broken monotony and the nice albeit unbeatable thus pointless challenge

Second wave: 1x Navy Armageddon, 6x Navy Mallers and 10x Navy Soldiers
Last wave: 5x Navy Apocalypse, 5x Navy Mallers, 5x support frigate and High Priest Karmone Tizmier.

Helped a guy out w/ a mission the other day. I don't remember the details. Just the spawn contained a named 540k cruiser, another thorax cruiser and a mid teen frigate.
This was a lvl 1 mission.

I just got high priest karmone mission as a lvl 2 storyline mission. How do I petition this?
Even though I have an apoc (set up crap on my mission alt) there's NO WAY I can EVER take 5x navy apocs.

id petition unders missions and ask a dev to clear the mission out for you, and file a bug report

Yeah.. I got that mission too. I'm a short range armor tank and usually warp in at 15km. I almost had enough time to turn and warp before my armor, shield and structure were blown out from under me.... My poor lil Brutix didn't stand a chance.

Navy Apocs in my Rogue Slave Trader mission are easy as pie.
20 Inferno torps each and they're dead.

Thats nice that it does, but not every agent runner is doing missions at well below their actual combat level. Ive had the high priest important mission as well after performing many lv2 agent missions.

Takanis, my mission alt got that one, too, its basically 3 Angel Warlords and friends. Took a fully equipped Raven and 3 loads of bane torps to take em out.
Loot was not bad, but a bounty of 250k for a warlord is quite - low...
... I want dessert - where is my Overlord?

I read this post, and prepared to do a lev 3 in my raven last night. The mission details said something about 4 frigates. Looked easy. When I got to the agent it said I couldn't talk to him so I petitioned. The mission was reinstated, but now only had 2 frigates. I undock, warp and engage. 2 Drug couriers vs my raven .... thats it, no more waves. Needless to say I was disappointed. Luckily it was only 2 jumps away.

Wow, I just helped a mate out last night on his first Level 1 Storyline mission. He had just started doing Level 1 missions, and the mission had (1) 1.5mil Angel Bship, and (4) Tech2 SpiderDrones.
Yikes.

I had the same (1.5mil BS & 2 Spider II drones) mission as a lvl 1. :) I lost my Merlin as I had no idea what was going on (2 day old player!) but petitioned and they reinstated my Merlin... :) But, yes, that was NOT encouraging as a 2 day old player... :/

I had a friend in corp holler he needed help with his lvl 2 storyline mission. Thinking nothing of it, I brought my zealot over.
First wave was fairly easy only 10 cruisers or so, all amarr navy. I pop the last rat and a fleet appears 10km out, consisting of 5x mallers, 5x elite frigs, and an apoc. My zealot didn't last too long under that.
Needless to say I'm none too happy and all that goes through my mind is that was Lvl2? If I'd had any idea to what I faced I would have brought a BS and friends in a BS. Submitted petition on the Zealot loss but I'm not real optimistic.
We did complete the mission for him finally took 5 of us in BS although I think that was overkill. Last wave though was 5x Frigs, 5x Mallers, 5x Apocs, and 1x Named BS. For mission he received 99,000 isk as reward.
CCP really needs to fix this.

Yup, I had to delete a lvl 2 "guristas Extravaganza" mission I got. Warped in through the acceleration gate into 20+ enemies. I managed to see info on 5 or so. All of which were 50K and higher. Including frigs and cruisers. I made it out ok, but thats only because I immediately engauged warp, had 2 bays of defenders going and the shield booster II on auto in a caracal.
I couldn't find anyone to help me so I had to delete. Pretty dissapointing.

Just had something similar - a Guristas BS (looked like a Raven - wish I'd noticed that beforehand) and a second Guristas ship (looked like a merlin), as well as a load of spider drone IIs.
Lost my Caracal, 2 Arbalest Heavy Launchers, 2 Malkuth Heavies, 1 Arbalest Rocket Launcher and a Tech 2 Afterburner.
I jumped in, got scrambled heavily and the BS ripped me apart in around 30 secs (with repairers running).
The worst part is that I'm not combat-trained in BS-class weapons yet and so stood no chance - had I turned it down, I'd have lost big-time.
What makes things really galling is that I didn't regain my lost equipment, I'm doing level 2 missions and have only run one mission against the Guristas before.
Be careful of Duel to the Death missions guys.

I'm quite new to Eve and yesterday when I was doing my level 1 missions I received a request for an important mission. It was a commodore in a megathron and his 4 super hard drones that can slow down and make you unable to warp. I had to ask 2 guys with tempests to help me out.

that mission is easy, man. just pull each apoc from 120km. the other 4 won't follow. the Amarr Navy Apocs are soft, soft ships. they don't seem to repair at all. only takes about 18k damage to pop em.
that damn priest doesn't drop anything tho. :(
and the whole no bounty thing for Amarr Navy ships is BS.

I, too, am a relatively new player battling lvl2 missions. Got the Gurista's Extravaganza and defeated it after SEVERAL hours work. Then was given impossible storyline mission....3 Battleships, 5 Cruisers, 8 Frigates against my Caracal. Not a chance. Webbed and scrambled me. Destroyed me in seconds. Made the mistake of going back in a Ferox with a friend and lost another ship.
CCP needs to correct this soon. This goes beyond "challenging".

I got the same mission. I went in with a Domimix ... my 10 drones is still floating in space after I had to bail within 1 minute of combat. The spider drones web and danced around me. While my drones and guns couldn't even get pass the shields. And what more the Raven was chain shooting heavy missiles at me.
Went in a second time ... only manage to kill the Gurista Wrecker (merlin). And bailed, when i ran out of cap ...
I am not sure if I can finish this mission ... its an important mission.

Similar experience here, doing missions level 2 then I receive an Evemail from an odd agent saying I was the hot shot selected to face one on one (!) some ennemy. I jump there with my Thorax transported by an overinflated ego, thinking "five minutes and the 240K isk reward is mine". I still used basic caution and jumped 40km to the target and Woah, one 1.5M Megathron BS and 4 special drones II or something. Thirty seconds and the drones are on me, can't shake them, can't warp out, 9 drones and 5 medium hybrid turrets can't even make a dent in them, missiles keep coming at me 165 damage a shot... I manage to run away (there must be a god for idiots!) with 10% hull left and flames (that was funny, first time I see this) coming out of my ship!?!?! I'm a miner that got bored and decided to go for some action : bad first experience in story line agent! So I go get my Dominix, strip it from its miner II, fill all hi-slots with guns, bring 45 mixed drones, 2 stabs and a langour disruptor to slow down them suckers drones. Well, after 2 minutes back in the action I had to run away leaving 12 drones behind. Barely scratched one ennemy drone's paint job!?!?! I want drones like these !!!!
Fortunately one of my buddies was around and came to give me a hand. Took like 8 cruise missiles and 12 heavy drones to take down one of those special drones. Thanks to probably a bug, the ennemy was only firing at me so my friend managed to take them down, eventually, while I kept leaving for repairs and coming back for punishment :-). Anyone knows of a good body shop for my Dom?
Quite an experience, still shaking. I think I'll juste mine some roids tonight! I love this game! :-)

I reconfigured my Domi for Armor Tank all the way, and rope in 2 friends, one in a Raven and the other a kestrel. I warped in and became the main target and maintain range at 60km while my friend's raven took like 10 mins of game time to blast the spiders and NPC raven. I was a good bait, needed friends with big firepower to complete this.

I just lost my ship to a lvl 2 hauling mission :(
was asked to do a special mission for this agent, was like ok sounds good.. the last few i did was pretty easy and got some good raitings.. so i was in my cruiser, thinking no way i can die in lvl 2 agent mission, warped into were i had to go, and i saw a BattleShip i was like WTF!!..
as soon as i saw that i warped out, but the drones that were there killed my cruiser in like 15 seconds...
i've never done agent missions before with BattleShips so I wasnt to know what names they had :(
is there anyway i can get my ship back or anything? or just have to wear it?
thnx

i just got the duel to the death mission with a Userper raven or 1.5mill BS rat and the spider II drones in it and i'v roped a friend in to do it with me after DT, only with what you guys have been saying a ferox aint gonna be able to do it and i dont think two ferox's would either.
This sux if its so, i'll try and rope more peeps into it but if i can't im gonna have to let this one slide
it would be good if i could decline this without loseing standing lets hope CCP does something about this

Preface: I am a total n00b. I fly frigate for now.
Questions:
1.How do you figure what level the mission is?
2.What does the number at the end of the agent text line is? (sometimes is 0 sometime it is negative something)
3.Every time I try combat mission, I just get slapped around silly by the boggies. What gives?
4. When I do info on the boggie it says threat level: moderate /serious or somesuch. What does that mean exactly?
