That's pretty weird!

This happened on a character that was a Hero, it has not happened on my Vigilantes.

Today this actually caused a problem, though it was easily solveable. To replicate: Have Super Speed but don't take it until high enough that it is not available when Exemplared down to level 1. Be at least level 25. Begin The Pilgrim's arc in Ourobouros. Turn on Super Speed and Speed Phase. Enter Mender Tesseract's mission Find cure for Outbreak plague. Super Speed turns off but Speed Phase remains on, and since you can't turn Super Speed on and off again (because it isn't available) the only way to continue with the mission is to exit and reenter.

This looks like slotting for Tactics not Aid-Self... Aid-Self I would slot with Heals, that's probably about it.

I use it and like it on my Defender, my Dominator, and my Sentinel. Would I mind if it got buffed? No, that would be cool, but I'm not expecting it.

You sure it wasn't just network lag?

Would be great if we could get some of the expanded Weapon costume options, Teleport customization, etc. This isn't like "omg they have it why can't we?", HC is amazing, but some of that stuff would be cool.

Still there.

Seems off.

I'd rather have an Empath on my team but only if they play as a buffer, keeping Fort up on as many people as possible all the time, casting RAs on cooldown when the team is grouped up without calling for gather. Putting Clear Mind on people who are likely to need it. Most people seem not to play them like that, which might be part of the problem. If you play as a Healer and not a buffer then yes, you are going to underperform. Interestingly, there are Bad healers in other games too. In WoW bad healers spam their lowest level heals, don't use cooldowns or use them at the wrong time. In FFXIV bad healers only heal instead of attacking. Small wonder there are bad healers in CoH too.

I then reset the mission difficulty to be -1...and that made the mission become level 9, but the mobs are still 10.

Doing the level 1-9 Hero badge mission, Defeat All The Clockwork and Skulls. It tells me my power will be limited to level 9. But then the mission says level 10. Then once I am Inside the mission it says level 11. In addition I am on +1, so the mobs are actually 12 and 13. Something seems off.

I play my MMs on +1 at most levels, just like all my other toons.

This has not been my experience. It sounds like you might be trying to do Incarnate content with a SOs build. With IOs (in particular most of the Pet/Recharge Intensive Pet/MM ATO specials) you shouldn't be having much trouble.

Maybe the game simply should put a pop up Ok button with dialogue indicating the expectations when the leader starts the tf, just like it does for itrials and dfb and such.

MMs are on a par with the other support ATs.

How would you arrange it so that it those MMs with pets weren't made too powerful by doing this?

so I ran his arc, so now he's Inactive, but he's still there also, it was NOT a Taskforce. It was just a story arc.

oh weird, then that's a bug

so I just had Mender Silos pop up in my contacts for the first time since back on live. I'm guessing it's because I completed the Pilgrim's arc on this toon. But I'm curious about a couple thing: 1. I don't think this is the first toon I've done the Pilgrim on in HC, so why didn't I see Silos before? 2. Why haven't Lazarus or Twilight's Son appeared in my contacts in a similar fashion?

So, far and away the most popular Defender primary and middle of the pack on all ATs as a secondary. Lower on Corruptors, which shouldn't be surprising since it doesn't offer anything to boost the Corruptor's own damage. Interesting that the least popular sets are almost universally the ones that provide the user with Mez Protection. I wonder how Electric is doing.

Isn't Empathy literally the most popular support set?

I think they may have been left without Containment intentionally because they are also Resistance Debuffs.

I clicked to enter the mission. After clicking but before loading I unclicked Super Speed, but Speed Phase REMAINED ON (as you can see).

In First Ward, no lighting changes when entering the Shadowed Paths: EDIT: This is SPECIFICALLY the path where Ksenia Stray stands. The others work normally.
