I joined a task force last night & the leader of the group told me to change my title standing from Unyeilding to Heroic.
He told me this changes the game play reactions with the villians, is this true? & Where can I read about that so I know more about it?

I found the following on the official game site:
"Players can now change their mission difficulty level through the hero corps field analysts. These NPCs (non-player characters) will charge the character a fee (influence) based on the current character level to customize the missions. The hero corps field analyst can make the missions more difficult, to provide more of a challenge. This will affect the ambush sizes of mobs as well as possibly affecting the number of lieutenants in the mission. The range for this varies from heroic to invincible. Once you set the mission to your desired difficulty level, all of your following missions will be at that difficulty level, unless you return to the NPC where you first adjusted it to reset the difficulty. The following list gives a brief summary of these specific difficulty levels:
Mission Difficulty Levels:
Heroic (previously known as Hard Boiled): Small groups of MOBs of equal level to player.
Tenacious: Small groups of mostly +1 MOBS some of equal level
Rugged: small groups of mostly +1 MOBs and few +2
Unyielding: small groups of +1, and +2 MOBs
Invincible: small groups of +2 MOBs"
Hope it helps.

from what i've seen.... if you want a lot of bosses and a real challenge for a team set it on to the invincible... if you are wanting to solo and not encounter any bosses at all have it on heroic (only way my main can solo her missions by the by) but i've been running a duo around w/ both of ours set on rugged and it is a nice happy middle... there are a few bosses in the missions (all the bosses are the person's lvl) and the minion spawn is one or two above the mission holder... it is really the perfect setting for what i'm wanting to do... i don't breeze thur the missions, but they are also not so insane that there is no hope to complete them....

From what Ive noticed the difficulty of the TF/Trial is set to the difficulty of the group leader.
Actually when you have the mission diff set on invinceable its +3 to char lvl with only a few bosses depending on the size of the group. The more people in the group the more mobs and bosses you have.
I personally play a lvl 35 Illusion/Kinetic controller on freedom server and I dont have to much of a problem going through the missions im getting on invinceable diffuculty.
I know some people with think Im crazy for doing that but I want good xp and influence that Im getting from that.
If you need or want help on freedom send me a tell.
Sorry if Ive misspelled anywords on this post.

hum... i can't seem to solo a boss w/ my main (squishy blaster) it means certain doom for Liz if there is a boss around and she doesn't have some kind of back back up
also don't worry about the spelling i figure if no one complains about my horrid spelling (and puncuation!) then everyone else is all good *grin*
and in case no one has done it yet, Welcome to the site!

The question in the OP is one I saw asserted by another player in-game: do Reputations aggregate for teams? Do they set to the highest, or the average?
For normal missions, no. But I don't see why they wouldn't for Task Forces -- except I suspect they don't.
Role-play roll call...
Protector: Proconsul - bubble defender; Moray - electric blaster; Visible Woman - dark scrapper; Old Lady - mind controller; Mad Cowboy - AR blaster; Gyro Lad - grav controller; Ben Franklin - electric blaster
Liberty: Joe Neptune - empathy healer; Auntie Freeze - ice controller; Nightclubber - fire/mace tanker; CEO Avenger - rad/dark defender; Timmy Scissors - broadsword scrapper; Feng-Shui King - MA scrapper; Autoexec - energy blaster
Guardian: Great Soul - mind/empathy controller; Trauma Doc - dark/dark defender; Thieving Magpie - sonic defender; Hell Princess - fire blaster; Captain Jamaica - invuln/strong tanker; The Arrowess - archery defender
Triumph: Man-Maggot - spines scrapper; Amelia Earhart - ice blaster; Nokomis - fire controller; Mister I - regen scrapper
Infinity: Captain Cola - grav/storm controller; Fahrenheit 9-11 - fire tanker; Chimpy McSmirk - illusion/FF controller; Lady Violent - claws scrapper
...and 6 servers with no alts at all!

From what I've seen in the past, the entire team doesn't have to change their difficulty sliders to effect Task Forces. The only person that matters is the leader. I actually ran a little experiment with the level 34 Respec Trial. We all had our original difficuly settings on when we entered. We exited, and everyone switched to the settings to Heroic. When we went back into the first mission, there was absolutely no change in levels, numbers, or bosses.
