Anyone else encountered this? Not been an issue for me yet as my two toons that are TRing have been on hiatus, but does rather look like breaking streak is not a good thing if banking levels...

You mean like it used to be?

Yes, escept that it wasn't called that way and it was linked to the Death penalty.
I don't want the death penalty back. But the old bonus, that got removed when they removed the death penalty, instead of the bravery suckage I'm for it.

There's two things that piss me with the ssuker bonus right now :

- it kills lfm, as only elite lfm will fill.
- people do quests on elite even when they are unable to complete them.

So overall it hurts the game as
- those that can handle elite don't lfm ( and go solo/guild/friends/raiding channels ).
- those that can't handle it never fill their parties if they LFM for a difficulty other than elite.
- those that can't handle it will try it anyway and wipe ( and be disgusted, /ragequit ).
- everybody and the dog will to it's utmost to keep the precious streak going.

With the other bonus there's
- no streak to break, so LFM for all difficulties will appears again.
- those that can handle a quest 5 level above the party level will be able to do it
- those that can't handle a quest 5 level above the party level may be able to handle
  quests 2, 3, 4 level above... it makes more option.
- last but not least, a TR whatever will have some challenge if they want to...
  VON3 with a party of LVL 5 characters is not an easy feat. but the 50K+ XP are well worth it.
- there is going to be a will to group, as doing quests above the party level is difficult to solo.

It's brave if you PUG it.

I've run nothing but at level or above elites or epics for two days.  bravery streak in general is not working correctly, as somewhere along the line it got reset.

not a huge deal for me, as epics give acceptable xp; bit it IS broken right now.

Red door'ing a quest can cause it to mess up as well, had mine reset on Delera's because of this.

My friends red door'd as well, they didn't have any issues however.

I do not deny this a possibility yet my counter dropped to zero after running Delera 2 on elite red door. =(

There's a bug that makes all your first time completions count as first time for BB as well. So, you'd get bravery on elite, then on hard... then norm will break your streak. Unless you never, ever run norm for that quest. Multiple hards or elites won't give streak again unless there's another bug that allows that... Unfortunately.

I haven't figured out if the bug is always there, or if it caused by not running the quest -at all- until you cap. I know the bug does happen if you haven't run the quest at all before you cap.
Quick testing should show if it happens before cap or not. My TR hasn't had any problem of streak resetting however, so it is probably linked to cap and/or epic quests in some way.
