TF enhancement reward selection ignored?

So I played in a number of teamed story arcs and Task Forces over the weekend and I noticed that no matter what enhancement reward I clicked on at the end, I never recieved it (I always chose the Accuracy enhancement, but one never dropped into my tray). What's going on?

I also noticed that I did not recieve a single enhancement drop the entire time I was doing the Positron TF (both parts). Is this because I was exemplar'ed down under the TF's level cap?

I'm not entirely sure exactly what you're referring to here. The only TF's that give enhancements as a reward type that I know of are the STF & LRSF that give you a choice of a random Hamidon Origin enhancement.

Perhaps you're referring to the Death From Below trial? That gives players a choice of temporary powers at completion, not enhancements.

Quote:
Your choice of one of four temporary powers. The powers last for one week in-game or until level 22:

Hydra Chemical Accuracy Enhancer
Hydra Chemical Damage Enhancer
Hydra Chemical Defense Enhancer
Hydra Chemical Recovery Enhancer

Maybe I am thinking of Death From Below. Are these powers Auto powers that don't go in a power tray?

But the part about not receiving any enhancement drops from mobs during the entire Positron or Citadel TFs still holds.

Yes, they are temporary auto powers, similar to the ones from the Safeguard or Mayhem missions, such as the endurance increase.

The reward from the Death from Below(Sewer) trial is a temporary auto power that lasts until you hit level 21. Also, they do not stack when you select the same one. So if you run the trial 4 times, and every time you select Accuracy, you're only benefiting from 1. But if you run it 4 times and select each reward separately, then you benefit from all four.

<wrong>No, you should still receive drops regardless of exemping down.</wrong> All I can think of is either make certain your enhancement tray it's full, and if you are speeding through the TFs you're killing less, and so you get less. If none of the above apply, and it continues to be an issue, fill a bug report with any hard facts. Also keep in mind random drops are random.

Added in <wrong> tags as Catwhoorg and StarGeek hoisted me on my own petard.

That's really good to know! Thanks for that info.

My tray was completely empty the entire time. We fought nearly every mob in the Posi TF. We fought every single Council mob in the Citadel TF. Random is random, yes, but the odds of not receiving one single enhancement drop during either TF feels to me like it should be zero.

Exemplaring removes any enhancement drops. (except specific ones tied to defeat or an arc/TF complete), been that way since I can recall.

You will still get inspirations, recipes and salvage

If you're ever teamed with me and want enhancement drops, let me know. I tend to delete them.

Huh, guess I was wrong. I rarely exemp, and I rarely use enhancement drops, so I guess I just never noticed that they weren't dropping. Good to know though.

It might be because enhancements drop based on the level of the mob defeated. If your exemped down, there's good chance you can't use the enhancements dropping.
