Right now, the text seems to suggest that you only get a recipe option on Rugged, Unyielding, or Invincible; I finished a TF this morning that was Heroic straight through and received such an option (and have before). I wasn't the TF leader, however, and I suppose it's possible that they changed the difficulty when I wasn't paying attention. Still, this seems odd. --[[User:Breisleach|breisleach]] 02:42, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

o_o your right.. wonder who put that there. Its rather blatantly wrong isn't it? and its always been wrong as far as the live version goes since recipes where added... I wonder if we're actually responsible for that myth? or maybe some goof read it on the forums and believed it and alter it here.. anyway, pls feel free to correct it ^^ --[[User:Sleepykitty|Sleepy Kitty]] 08:21, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Task Force recipe timer

I want to put a note at the bottom of each TF (maybe in a template) that briefly describes the reward dialog and the recipe timer. Similar to how the Katie Hannon Task Force is at the moment. But I need to make sure my facts are straight. So, whoever answers the following questions gets an interweb. --Konoko 12:51, 31 August 2007 (EDT)

  • 4 hour timer
    • is it per TF?
    • does each TF have a different timer?
    • what are the precise restrictions?
The timer (now 3 hours) covers all the TF's on a single clock, except the STF and the LRSF. The timer is global, so if you do say Posi, then finish Synapse just under 3 hours later you get no recipe award. However, with the advent of the rewards windows, you can keep the window open until the 3 hour mark is passed, and then select the recipe. You can even log off and get in the next time you log in.Catwhoorg 15:35, 31 August 2007 (EDT)
From what I understand (correct me if I'm wrong), the trick of logging out and getting the reward the next time you log back in only works if the team leader doesn't call or visit the TF contact to disband the team after you finish. --Eabrace 15:59, 31 August 2007 (EDT)
I have not had a problem with it. Just make sure it's 3 hours later. --Konoko

Example Notes Section

Previous 'exploits'
In the not-so-recent past, players were able to finish this (Katie Hannon) task force in a very short time (less than an hour in most cases) by skipping the first mission. The first mission could be failed and the task force would continue. They could then choose a Rare Recipe from Pool Dor was it C. This has since been 'corrected' in Issue 10 by requiring players to complete the first mission and defeat Mary Macomber all 10 times to proceed.
Time restriction on recipe rewards
All Task Forces have a timer in place to prevent players from claiming a rare recipe from a given Task Force less than 4 hours after claiming a rare recipe from the same Task Force.
