Okay, I thought it was a fluke when this happened to us on a LGTF before GR came out (8/13, after the pre-patch, before release).|

As is apparently fairly standard procedure, we had the leader standing "at the door" (by the contact) while we ran the first mish. Finished the mish, hit the blue exit button, stepped outside... to see that the mish had reset itself. The Leader hadn't even talked to the contact yet. We ran the mish again, and the same thing happened. We ended up quitting/disbanding and restarting the TF. We ended up running the TF bringing the leader into every mish, even the ones we stealthed.

YUMMY Low-Hanging Fruit for BASE LUV
On sunday I attempted to lead a Synapse taskforce. We began the grind, getting to nearly the last 'kill all' mission and clearing all the enemies before we encountered a bug which prevented us from progressing. The red question mark minimap arrow of doom appeared. I had everyone log out to attempt to reset the mission, but upon clearing again we faced the same bug.
I should note that this process took far longer than the few sentences might indicate; after the first encounter of the bug we had all submitted petitions describing our situation. We hit the two hour marker(just on that one mission) when we finally gave up after getting no response during prime time.
Monday, I decide to try doing a Sister Psyche run. On the very first mission we encounter nearly the same bug. We thought it might have been a rezzing stunner which caused problems, but upon exiting, the mission reset on its own. Confused, we tried clearing it again to no avail. The mission appeared to be infinitely resetting on its own for no apparent reason.
We submitted petitions before rage quitting and I included all information from the map coordinates of the mission door to the place the mission was on my objective list. I received no response until six hours later, wherein I was told they can't do anything because the servers were down when they got the petition.
TL;DR some missions are inexplicably, randomly broken:
- Upon meeting the mission objectives, occasionally a red map marker facing south will appear on the minimap, labeled '????'
- Since 'Going Rogue', the Synapse taskforce will bug out on any of the 'kill all' missions.
- The Sister Psyche taskforce will get bugged on the first mission (I have only attempted it once). This might be triggered by a freakshow rezzing after the mission is completed.
I hope someone can make use of this information, since apparently petitions aren't really doing anything.
