Should this happen?

I went back to do the bonus on Nolani Academy today. the first wave when you open the gate was at least 2 times a big. then as i progressed it was back to normal. I found the monk boss near the wall thing and he had WAY to many allies than i would thing he should have. (never done bonus) i mean there were at least 8 of the lvl 8 blade warriors and 2 firecallers. Being a lvl 16 W/M i handled it fine but almost died. Near the gargoyles warmaster Grast appeared out of nowhere and started to help me fight (though he died since there was an uncommonly large amount of gargoyles). I got the tome and went toward the end of the bonus i set off the devouerers spawn and didnt think anything of it and ran past. I then saw instead of the occasionaly lvl7 -8 followed by lvl 3s and 4s i found i had a good 20-25 lvl 7-8s instead of a moajority of lvl 3-4s. i got blocked and BARELY survived. Then when i finely got to the ghosts they started off doing 0-2 dmg w/o using skills and there dmg slowly rose to the high 1 digit #s to low 10s. this is the point i died. again im a lvl 16 W/M and i have beaten much harder stuff. But if i can't beat that bonus they shouldn't expect a group of 7-11s to do it i man christ. I think an admin got bored and was messing with stuff. So my question is "Was it an admins work, were spawns increased due to my lvl and attempt to solo, or do i just suck and it should have been easy?

well... to say it this way..
some days ago i went there with my lvl 20 war/mo
and bonus was easy as hell..

so i guess its just you :P

Heh. it could also be i had 5 hours of sleep in the last 34 hours. only thing that made me think it was tweaked as the warmaster guy spawnin out of nowhere. i bet if i try it 2morrow ill do fine. I wrote this out of frustration since i had JUST died 5 min before posting this and was like WTF.

sometimes all the char dont rush at the same time.. sometimes most of em just fall back.. maybee that is what you experienced when you thought it was normall.. and the normal them all rushing is what you thought was abnormal...did that make any sense ?

Ya i guess its possible. i was following the map on the site and i had never realized you were supposed to go out the side and make that big loop. i always rushed them. Thats also why i hadn't seen the monk boss.

i did it solo with a level 12 e/mo

all you do is go out the side and take your time killing everything so you are not trapped.

the guards on the wall help as all you need do is run like hell past them and then turn and help them with whatever is chasing you.

easy
