It's the new Cape Mission. Which you can run even if your character has already run the original mission.

I find the new requirements (having to do cape mish to get aura mish) a complete waste of time. NONE of my toons have capes; yet I have to do the cape mish now to get their auras. It's the "improvements" like this that annoy me about this game; let's "fix" something like this instead of improving things like bases or fixing any of the myriad of bugs that have been around for several issues.
Bah sore subject with me.

I believe that the first time you talk to the City Rep/Kalinda after hitting lvl 20, you'll always get the cape mission arc, and always have. Even before, I seem to recall getting it if I waited until after lvl 30 to talk to them.
The only difference now is the missions have changed up a bit, subsequent to game lore events. And they're still reasonably easy enough to do, and don't really take that long.

I think the main issue people are having is there is no choice to skip the new mission if the old one was already done.

Earn a cape, and underneath it said: Get better control of your powers, which is obviously the aura mission. I never had to do the cape mission before my aura. I never have until the cape mission was redone.

This is true. i had several heroes that did the aura mission and never ran the cape mission because i never saw them as using capes.

I just went and did this with 50 Blaster on Infinity and at the memorial there was no Union Jack on the display case thingy. It was just white. I usually play with my settings pretty high as I have a pretty good GPU. So I'm a little perplexed by this. And the round part on the backside of the memorial was a mini version of the big coin behind Blue Steel. Not a starburst looking thing like here. What gives???

Ummm, I think you are under the mistaken impression that the person (or people) who work on one aspect of the game (mission design) have some sort of mystical control over other parts of the game (bug fixing: which itself is a myriad of different things).|

It's akin to asking BaB to fix a Task Force... it ain't gonna happen (unless of course, the bug in the TF is related directly to an animation, which seems a touch unlikely).
If the new cape mission being required before running the aura mission bugs you that much, run it at -1 diff/x1. It takes like 10 minutes, tops.
It doesn't bug me THAT much - I simply won't be doing the cape/aura mishes anymore. I play this game to have fun not to be forced into a mission. Up until the recent changes you did not have to complete the cape mission... so I always did the aura mish for those toons I wanted to have an aura. None of my toons use capes; so yes I view having to do a set of missions for something I won't use as a waste of my time.
Like I said: sore subject... I'll just skip auras on future toons.

If it does that on another toon after a computer reboot and reverification of files, then report it.

Just ran this last night on red side . Pretty tough and after 4 tries , I got it . The LB Warden was a Grav/Storm and a major punk !! After I got passed him (2 tries ) , then some flying karate guy that looked like a cheap Iron fist , started kicking me like crazy , man that dude was a punk also ( took two times to put him down also ) . So after all that ( and a lot of screaming at the game , lol ) I finally got the cape . Then on my way back to Mercy , the game froze . 
Such is life .
Glad I only have one villian getting a cape.
Is it easier on blue side or just the same ?
Completely different. That is what this thread is partially about.

If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
Oh I know , I just did not want to start a brand new tread about capes and such
Today I was running the aura arc and when I returned to the City Rep the last time the 'Earn A Cape' arc was available instead of her just saying peace out.
Puzzled, I clicked it and when I got to the mission it was a different map filled with Rikti.
I figured, at first, that it was just due to my character's level, but then I got to this room:
and was all, "HEH?"
Then there was a Hero 1 hologram and then a mission to retrieve a letter from Hero 1's memorial that the Rikti stole.
I haven't played since mid-October, except for logging in once in a while and not really doing anything. So, my question would be: is this new-ish, or did I just completely miss it when it was new?
