You know you can read the mission text even if you're not the team leader by clicking the red starburst in the navigation tab's mission name display, right? Even lets you read the text from contacts that have been talked to by other people.
Really? Nope, I didn't know that.

I would definitely be interested in STFRs, though, I must say. As a newish player, I am so often just... confused... until I almost hate to try to get ON a task force, because I know I'm just taking up a slot as I wander about in their wake trying to see through the flashy lights, with the wiki up on my ipod, just trying to follow the freak along...
But that could just be me...
I'm new-ish. Again.
@Kahzi. Pinnacle, mostly.

Hi all,
This is probably a stupid idea, but let me set the scene.
I'm on a TF team. I've not been on this particular TF before, and I haven't researched on Paragon Wiki before either. I am completely baffled, and am completely dependant on the leader to tell me what's going on, as he's the only one being presented with the pop-up dialogs.
So I'm sitting there thinking: Hey, why shouldn't I have the opportunity to read the dialogs as well?
Now, there is already a semi-solution: In the newer missions some of the stuff is showing up as caption dialog that everyone can see instead of pop-ups. Also, I could be the team leader, then I'd get the dialogs. But then I'd be slowing down the rest of the team because I'd want to actually *read* the dialogs, not just scan them fast for any gotchas.
So this is a two-parter idea. One, allow other people to see the dialogs, so they can get the idea of what's going on.
Two, there may be a term for an 'opposite of a speed run' already, but I'm going to call it a 'Stop and Smell the Flowers Run' until someone tells me different. A nice wordy name that fits the concept. A TF run (or any other mission at that) where everyone is given the opportunity to read the dialogs & mission text, so they understand why (in-character) they're doing what they're doing, as well as what specifically is being asked of them.
Feedback?
