For what it's worth: Running the WTF on Flashback

I took my level 50 blaster solo through the Positron 1 arc via Ouroborous, not really knowing what to expect. Obviously, I was exempted down to lvl 15, but inf rewards seemed comparable to lvl 50, and I got two incarnate shard drops. All salvage and recipes dropped as if lvl 15.

On completion, I was awarded 40 merits (which I think is higher than normal) and the Positron's Ally badge, but no additional incarnate rewards.

So, it looks like doing it this way gets you some of the advantages of the WTF, but not all.

Ooh, a sarcasm detector. Oh, that's a *real* useful invention. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolog...t-sarcasm.html

AFAIK 40 merits is standard for the old Positron TF (it used to be 66 but was nerfed due to people speeding it more frequently once it bacame a flashback).

I'm pretty sure the WST bonus only applies to the Part 1 of the new Positron TF.

If you Oro'd posi, it was the old TF and won't award WST lewts......that being said, the actualy WST (Posi 1) is not giving Notices, only double merits (2x11).

Adeon is correct. The old Posi TF is "The New Recruits". The WST is "The Rule of Three", part one of the new Posi TF.

I20 changed shards to award to any even-con or higher enemy, not just level 50 or higher enemy.

Mission complete recipes are always your level (or the highest level available if you're higher than the recipe range).

Right. Inf earning is based on your ACTUAL level. So is earning XP. Otherwise your rewards would be negligible if you exemped from 49 down to 15.

Except the end of mission recipes, as you noted in your other post. Those drop at your level.

It's not. It's supposed to be 40.

Yep, that's working correctly.

Actually, it gets you NONE of them.
- You do not earn double merits.
- You do not earn the bonus XP.
- You do not receive a Notice of the Well.

Working as intended. You can get those in any TF or mission now.


To summarize, every single item you described is working exactly as it was supposed to.
