They will never, ever, ever get me to do Waverider. The whole K-Drive, Vent Kids ‘thing’ just has such a ‘hello, fellow kids!’ vibe to it. ….also I’m bloody terrible on the K-Drive.

At this point, do you just not even notice the pop-ups after each mission trying to cajole you into doing the test? Because it’s driving me bonkers. (But I also always make absolutely sure I DON’T have an active quest most of the time, too, because I hate how Navigation will always pull toward it when you’ve got one active. So I might just… generally have issues with authority. ‘Stop trying to tell me how to play you, game! I’ll play you how I want!’)

Titania was one of the first frames I tried; I got maybe two points captured over the entire five minutes. (Similar results with Saryn and Wukong.) As I said before: I’m not good with the faster frames. As I also said: I’m not interested in doing practice run after practice run until I have the patterns memorized to the point where I CAN beat the test. Beating the test doesn’t particularly interest me at this point; hence why I wanted a way to just get the constant notifications turned off. (Or at least down.)

Honestly, this is the sort of thing I tend to get REAL stubborn about - if I’d been able to just ignore it for a while, I probably would have looped back around and given it another go at some point. But since the game refuses to let me ignore it - since it has to remind me after every. Single. Mission. And every. Time. I pull up. The menu - I’ll almost certainly dig in my heels and just refuse to give in and try again on general principle.

It’s the second of the mobile control point ones; twenty six or twenty seven, I think. I’ve never been a huge fan of the ‘fast’ Warframes (I’m one of the people who will absolutely backflip out of the Volt speed boost in public games), so it really doesn’t play to my strengths. (I also took a break of a year or so from the game, so I don’t even remember how I beat the first one; I just remember hating it, and I really have no desire to go through that again, not for a loadout slot and a minor bump to daily syndicate cap and Void traces, neither of which I often get to their cap anyway.) And don’t get me wrong: this isn’t me saying ‘oh no, it’s too hard, it’s unfair!’ I don’t really have an opinion on that; like I said, this is more about my weaknesses than the test being ‘too hard’. But still: if I’ve made the choice not to continue chasing Mastery Ranks - which I feel like isn’t really an unfounded choice, especially once you get past fifteen or so - I wish the game could respect that choice a little.

Well, that’s relatively annoying. It’s not that I ‘can’t’ do the test, it’s that I don’t want to: it’s a more complex version of one that already gave me quite a bit of trouble, and as I’m in the mid-20s of the mastery ranks anyway - and so the rewards for unlocking new ranks just… aren’t that exciting - it’s just not worth it to me to do all the pattern memorization (or, alternately, to just beat my head against it until I luck out) that would be required to beat it. In other words: I don’t really care about what I’d get for passing the test, so it’s not worth playing it over and over (either in practice, or just once a day until I luck out) until I beat it. I’ve got better things to do with my life that play parts of Warframe I don’t enjoy; hell, I’ve got better things to do IN Warframe than to play parts of Warframe I don’t enjoy. I’d just prefer it if the game didn’t continually insist I SHOULD be playing the parts I don’t enjoy - I mean, I’ve never beat the Railjack Void Orphix Node, either, but the game doesn’t insist I try every twenty four hours, or else it’ll continually remind me that I really should be trying.

Anyone have any idea how to do so? I’ve hit the point where I know I’m not gonna beat my next Mastery rank test, and I don’t really care to do so - I’m high enough now that I’d really rather just ignore it; the rewards just aren’t worth the effort I’d have to put in to beat the thing - but I’m pretty tired of the pop-ups after each mission and the glowing icons and the constant reminders that the game really, REALLY wants me to try it again. I’d appreciate any help if anyone knows any way to make the UI calm down a bit, here. (I would like to specify: I’m not looking for help with the test; just for how to hide the ‘Mastery Rank Up Available!’ Pop-ups or Menu Selection.) Thanks!
