CreepoBeepo Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) Recently I have had my gameplay ruined by the mastery rank 9 test. I have had my gameplay for days on end blocked by a wall that i just cant pass due to my extreme lack of experience with stealth killing because i never found a situation(up until this test) for its use. Its infuriating to have a game stop you from having fun in this way. It has tortured me for nearly a week and I really wish i could have a way to skip past it and get to the gameplay I like and also be able to see the future of this game and how it progresses. Be it by plat or by other means(like maybe a system that registers how much trys you took and offers you a way to grind a sorta pass to the next mastery rank). I have seen other forum posts about this problem and I wish to address this with a proposed solution. I can not stress enough how much I and others would appreciate this if anyone from DE sees this and decides to so something. Edit: Thanks for the tips i must have been over stressed the first few times but i have succeded with the test.

Zanchak Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 The practice options exist so you can Master the test. People sit around camping MR as it is, skipping it would make it even worse. Go practice like everyone else has. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The test stresses me out and every time i try i feel worse. Unlike the usual grind ingame for resoruces standing xp ect. this isnt fun. It has gotten to the point where I feel like its pointless to play the game anymore because its just making me feel bad the only issue being I like to play the game and i want to play more.

I have trouble seeing some of the tests since they've been changed (the environments used to be diff) so I struggle with edges and whatnot. You'll get it, but you wont while stressing out about it. Go farm something, or take a break and practice when you hate it less. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ailith Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Stealth requires patience and paying attention to enemies' patrol patterns and sight lines, so just take your time as you pick them off one by one. Keep in mind that you aren't timed with this specific test, so don't stress about not doing it fast enough. If you're still struggling, then don't feel bad about looking up video tutorials (such as the one below from the wiki). You'll probably learn a thing or two by watching someone else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)deathwolfclaw666 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 If it's the one I'm thinking of (you have to assassinate targets without being detected) a friend of mine had issues with that one too. I'd suggest going to the relay and practising a bit before you go for it. Go slow and watch for patterns in the enemy's movements then formulate a plan on which targets to kill first then execute. In my case it didn't take long and there were times where enemies should've seen me but didn't. I'd also suggest a weapon that executes quickly (I used Broken War). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan.io.wal Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (What everyone else said) I would advise maybe a long range polearm as well, slide attacks all day. Other than that, daggers are always great. Avoid weapons with long finishers. Be patient, remember that walls are your friend. Don't overextend, every time you kill one enemy retreat and get your bearings again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinOCE Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 If its stealth, just get loki and cheese it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844448 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 There's a situation you use stealth, gaining more exp from stealth kill exp bonus up to 5x per kill and if you have problem with this test, here's some small tips 1. Take your time, you're not pressed to do it quickly so no need to bullet jump 2. Observe the patrol pattern, they have a pattern on movement that you can take note 3. Approach from behind, they have quite small field of vision so you only need to walk behind them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DatDarkOne Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Slap on enemy radar mods so you can know where the enemies are and which direction they are facing. Then use channeled melee when killing them to destroy the bodies. This prevents other enemies from seeing the dead body and becoming alert. Most important, don't rush, and be patient.

George_PPS Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 All these MR tests are meant for players to actually “master” the game. It’s necessary to practice and pass them. If it’s too hard, try to watch some youtube videos. It will make it easier. After passing all tests myself, I tried some of them few weeks ago. I found them to be much easier than I first time tried these tests, even the hardest ones. Another important thing is that each test may require certain builds even though the abilities are usually blocked in these tests. Just be patient, do practices and you will pass all of them eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can not stress enough how much I and others would appreciate this if anyone from DE sees this and decides to so something. Wow, you're really something, ain't ya 🙂 Stuck at MR test for almost a week? So sorry to hear. I was once stopped by a MR test for almost a month, cause I couldn't find a way to pass it (it was around MR 20...) And besides, MR tests are there for a reason: you won't rank up, until you have a particular skill trained well enough to pass it. And why is it so important to stop you from ranking up? First, it gives you an incentive to get to know the game better. Second - when you can't have certain rank, you are blocked out from acquiring certain weapons (again -incentive) which are far more usable... but also, would give you too much of a leeway in missions. Imagine, doing a survival with Ignis (WRAITH version especially) is far easier than say... with Boltor / Burston (not prime). So you have to try harder and harder - hence, you're getting better and better.. say, with your survival skill. And besides, with Ignis given to you at rank 0... what would be the aim of playing / getting to know the game better when you would be able to do just anything from the start? Sides... this would be bad marketing decision, if you know what i mean.

(XBOX)Zweimander Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 The tests are meant to prepare you for the more difficult content to come and if you cannot pass them you are right where you need you need to be until you overcome the challenge and prove your mastery. So in other words you need to improve and if you are really that unwilling and unskilled you deserve stay at MR 9 and live with it and or just quit the game if you cant accept your weaknesses while asking the game to change for you and not the other way around.

Zelmen Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 At rank 9 you can build any frame. I think all quests are playable too (depending on star chart). At some point you're just going to overpower it. Loki with the correct mods can go inv for 32 secs, Ash I think is mid 20s, Ivara endless(Maybe?) and now we have wisp that you can just bunny hop everywhere and never be seen. With wisp you can literally follow a guy (by hopping) until they are out of view and kill em. Every player has a different play style and no video is going to have the perfect answer for you. Just try them out until something works. Practice before doing the test so you have endless tries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bioness Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Use Banshee along with a range melee weapon. There is an even harder stealth test later on that will make yours look like child's play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
