Are TFs and TF-like things still unaffected by difficulty?

I remember they altered it so that TFs, Ouro arcs, and so on always start as x0/+0 a few years ago (to prevent people from getting easy MO badges) but promised a better fix sometime in the future. So, when trying SSAs I noticed that they reset to x0/+0 and that a few TFs I've been on so far were apparently +0 too... So, that future didn't yet come?

Nope, you can certainly set TF difficulty higher.

I've run a few +4 LGTFs and ITFs.

Remember that the difficulty that shows when you're on a TF is your difficulty, not that of the TF (unless you're the leader, of course).

Awesome! Thanks for the info.

It's worth noting you can't run them on -1. It'll still set everything to +0. But +1 through +4 work.

also u can change the rep between missions... you can do the 1st mission in +0, the second in +4, the third in +2. etc etc etc.....

One curious quirk is that for Phalanx TFs (Positron to Numina), the enemies have a minimum level for each one. Taking Sister Psyche, for example, although her TF is for level 20-25, the enemies in her TF spawn at minimum level 25. So, if the leader is say, level 22, all the team will exemplar to level 22 (or sidekicked to 21 if lower)... and will still have to fight against level 25-26 enemies who are now +3 or +4. It gets worse if the leader is level 20 and refused to pass leadership to someone who was higher level before starting the TF...

All of the above is taking the difficulty at normal (TFs can only go +0 at lowest, I don't think they can go -1, can they?).

I always thought the TF went to the maximum of the TF so if you were a 33 leader on at 30-35 TF you saw 35's. That's why everyone wants the leader to be any player >= limit. Second, if you are a leader you can easily set the difficulty higher but -1 probably doesn't work.
