Allow the Trapdoor mission to be abandoned.

So I started my Incarnate missions on my Earth controller this afternoon, and I did the first mission with no difficulties (unsurprisingly). I got to the second mission, however, and realized that everything was in huge spawns and about +3 to me. Last time I played the character, I must've been on a steamrolling team.

"No biggie," I says to myself, "I'll just set down the difficulty and start again."

So I go talk to the Hero Corps jerk, fix my difficulty, and then run up to Ramiel. I get "Ask about this Contact" and "Ask about the store."

Seriously? I have to log out and log back in to change my difficulty? Especially on characters that in large part have been ignored for up to a year?

So, all I'd like is the option to abandon the mission. I don't care if that means I have to talk to Statesman again when I take it, I would rather the 5 minute runaround dealing with that than the logout process, especially since when I go to the "Switch character" option, it booted me to the log in, and I wasn't able to reconnect to the dbserver until I restarted.

Please note — I am talking about abandoning the mission, not autocompleting it, since I know there's going to be someone who will get the two confused and rag on me about the EB fight or something. I just want to be able to drop it so I can pick it up again.

While I don't disagree with your request, I will point out there are three ways to reset a mission to use your lowered difficulty settings without logging off:

1. Get another mission (such as a radio mission) and on the mission list window select that as your active mission then reselect Trapdoor as your active mission (occasionally you have to repeat this process a couple of times for some reason)

2. The command /leaveteam will cause your active mission to reset if you use it while solo (obviously, don't do this if you are actually on a team)

3. Starting a flashback (or an AE mission or a TF) will reset all non-flashback missions.

I'll admit, I had forgotten about resetting the mission, not being able to abandon it threw me for a loop.

/Signed. Theres naff all point introducing a QoL feature, and then not doing a proper job and putting it everywhere it should be.

You can abandon missions from the Missions menu. there's an "Abandon" button next to "Select Task." I'm not sure if that works if your current mission is already selected and spawned, however.

Nope, you have to reset it first.

If you reset your mission then the Trapdoor mission should be able to be abandoned just like any other mission. I don't know if my experience has been different than others', but I've never been able to abandon an active mission, I always had to reset it before it would let me.
