It's a known issue. Always quit any MA missions before joining a TF.

On a slightly related note.. that happened to somebody on my Katie TF team one day. Somebody else on the team was on an MA arc and crashed out while the rest of us were in 2 separate instances of the mission. We left to reform but the task was still on my screen, so we went inside after I re-invited everybody. The mission actually loaded, none of us were EX'd down, Mary was only an EB, it let me invite new people to the team during the mission (including a lvl 1 just to see if it would work), and we still got the badges for defeating her.
Once the mission was over, I talked to Katie and started the real TF again. lol
I /bugged it of course.
Since MA missions always act as if you're in a TF team, you should have to drop the mission before going to another contact. Actually, it says that your regular contacts are not supposed to be available at all while you have an AE mission in your queue. Definitely sounds like a bug to me.

Agreed...and I will be vigilante to make sure I'm not on a MA team in the future. Even still, seems like it could be a potentially frustrating problem.

Absolutely. Especially, since you can't rejoin a TF after you leave it. (At least, that's what I understand from what I've heard about TFs. I've never actually done one.) If it happened further along in the TF, it would be infuriating to get dumped like that.
There should be no way to choose a regular mission without quitting the MA first. They need to make sure there's some type of a warning that 'you are already on a TF' that forces you to quit it if another mission is selected. They should also give MA arcs a different title than TF, so there's no confusion for the players.

I think the problem comes from the code they added so that people can be invited to MA missions after they have already started. That is they only thing different between a TF and MA missions. It a feature I would love to see them add to Ouroboros missions if they can get it working right.

Spur of the moment, I join up on a Sister Psyche TF. I hadn't played the character in question for some time and apparently I had an open MA mission but didn't quit it before joining the TF. I don't know if that is relevant...
Anyway, on my way into the first mission, I get about half an inch of a load bar on the loading screen and then it freezes for five minutes so I ctrl+alt+delete out and reload CoH. When I come back, I have the "quit TF" button on my team screen so I figured it was a massive crash but then I see the AE thing my center screen. The leader assures me that he didn't kick me...they just all figured I had mapserved. It was a PuG so they don't offer to reform and I don't ask. We just wish each other good luck.
No great shakes on the first mission but what if it had been the last? I would have been fairly pissed. Is this a known issue? I'm not up on my bugs but this seems to have the potential for a real sucker punch. I'll try to make sure I'm out of the MA before joining any more TFs but will there be a fix for this?
