Kalarual Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Ok, I am level 30, started about a day and a half ago. I start rank one thinking it'd be easy, and I am dumped into a blinding white room I can't see S#&$ in. I literally had to squint my eyes. I can barely see the enemies, and they also like to hide. I end up failing due to time out on the first wave. I think, no problem, I can just try again, right? NOPE. How is this fair? Lockouts like this is a failure in game design, and an obvious method to drag out content. I hope this gets changed soon or I may quit before I started, because grinding is one thing, but BS time sinks is another. My entire time spent today was pretty much a waste on here.

Instinction Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) You dont actually have to stop playing or anything. It will will still track your progress as you rank up.Also, check youtube for guides on the mastery rank tests if you don't like them. Every mastery test is on there. There is no real downside for failing a test, you just try it again a day later. Edited July 1, 2014 by Instinction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherIcarus Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 There are quite a few time sinks in warframe so... As for the test it should be pretty easy if you turn your brightness down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z3GR4M Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I feel your pain bro but the good news is that DE has said before that they plan to add like mastery test practice runs or something to that effect... I'm like 99% that has been stated in one of the devstreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)IIIDevoidIII Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 All the mastery tests are completely doable. If the room is too bright, tturn down your game brightness. I'm assuming it's higher than it needs to be. Adjust your mods, and you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)nathanuc1988 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 If it makes you feel any better, you still earn mastery rank experience even if you don't complete your rank up. I can't say I had the same problem in terms of graphical issues, but you can probably adjust some of the graphical settings to illuminate that blinding light (sorry, PS4 user here, can't give specifics)PERSONALLY, I like that the timer gives a decent pressure to perform well. 24 hours feels a bit steep, but it's a good feeling when you pass these on your first try. I'll also say that I felt that the mastery rank 1 test was the most challenging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senketsu_ Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I dont understand why some poeple have such a hard time with mastery rank tests, ive been able to complete every one up to 15 on the first try. Am I just that good, or am I on some kind of easy mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)friedricetheman Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Wait till you get to higher Mastery Rank tests. It'll only get harder. Try shooting at orbs while wall running with a timer ticking down.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdunSaveMe Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Oh god and wall running in this game is terrible... That test is simpler than it looks though, to be honest. Not from a "I can do it so can you" viewpoint, but from a "it's not that bad" point. I thought it'd be difficult, cos of the parkour. You'll know when you do it.

OriVerda Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Ok, I am level 30, -snip There currently isn't enough content to get to that Mastery Rank and I think even with the best of luck and boosters that it would be impossible to get to MR30 in a day and a half. What you mean by level 30 is probably your Warframe or one of your weapon's levels which contributes EXP to your Mastery Rank. I don't know why DE never explains this to new players. Then again MR is not really that important right now except for a few weapons, WarFrames, trading and swag rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APBladeX Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 If you're using the MK1-Braton still, I suggest switching it out for a more dependable primary. You can obtain everything in the game (except for cosmetics) for free. Practice makes perfect. You do not lose anything for failing these tests, your progress is saved.

My primary is level 30 and my secondary too, Melee is 20. I am using the Braton atm, not sure which weapon would be the best obtainable for me right now. I do know one thing though I think that auto parry Mod I had equipped screwed me quite a bit. Edited July 1, 2014 by Kalarual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auramaru Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) EDIT: We're talking about Mastery tests, right? These days, you have to look up videos for mastery rank tests lol Mastery tests for rank 5+ get a little convoluted.

izzatuw Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Try lowering your brightness? That maybe your issue and not the games. I've never had problems seeing enemies or it's your eye sight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had problems seeing enemies or it's your eye sight Well, yeah, my eyesight is notoriously bad. When I say it was bright I mean all I saw was a big white bright as hell blob and vague shapes of what looked like enemies. Other stages the brightness is just perfect. My brightness was set at 50% Edited July 1, 2014 by Kalarual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aratir Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 The tests are @(*()$ easy, if you cant do them thats a good indication that there is something, wrong practice some more. And you don't lose anything even if you cant do it for a whole week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had problems seeing enemies or it's your eye sight Agreed, I never had problems either. What you could do is lower brightness, and lower your graphics. Try Turning off display settings such as Motion Blur, and Bloom. Edited July 1, 2014 by SaintCloud890 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
