Enter the PvP zone and check your buff icons?

unless they changed it recently that just shows you the buffs or debuffs for your own side and gives no clue to the value of buff/debuff which can never go above 15%
when ive been in Sirens with my blaster, a vill was doing missions and id tell him the %rise, only awy i can see u getting it tbh
yeah exactly as the OP said, those who do the missions tend to do so when it's quiet in there so they don't get hassled and there is no way to find out without a second person in the zone. i've often thought this should be fixed
The other problem is that the person completing the mission only knows what percentage their mission has added. i.e.
"Villain X has completed a mission. Villains have a 5% damage increase"
What it doesn't tell you is that there was already a 5% increase in effect because villain Z had completed a mission just before you entered so the buff is actually 10%.
The other thing that i'm not sure of is exactly how long the buff lasts. Does a damage buff from a mission last forever(or until the other side do a damage debuff mission) unless there's a server reset? Does it only last until one side wins the zone?
A little more transparency on the mechanics of it would be nice from the Dev's. Then again, like other game mechancis, maybe they don't want to publish how it works as they know once the players start looking at it we'll find the bugs that are so far hidden by our ignorance

I believe it changes by 1% for each mission done. So if it did say a 5% increase it would have only been 4% previously. An easy way to get this information would be welcome though.

what he said, everytime you complete a mission a zone announcement goes out telling everyone the total buff/debuff which your mission has just increased by 1% and they last indefinately (of course constantly being added to/subtracted from by other players) unless the server goes down then they tend to reset
anyone knwo how to?
short of PMing a hero or villain on completion of a mish to find out what the buff is at (or debuff), is there a way to find out myself?
annoying if im at the 15% cap and still hammering away missions :/
