Why Mastery Ranks Are So Glitchy?

Today i failed mr test for a second time and now i need to wait fkn 24 hours to try it again. It would be perfectly fine if it was my fault, but it wasn't! First time i failed mr 8 or 9 where it was some stupid stealth mission where enemies saw me through the walls for 2 times while i was sitting behind a large cube cover, and on my third try i was respawned directly in front of a soldier so i had no fkn chance to finish that test at that time. So knowing all of this i went for a cheap tactics - wearing Loki, Energy Siphon and Glavie to kill enemies from a distance being in stealth for safe purposes. Yeah great, mr 10 was the same cheap S#&$e where i just teleported with Loki on a solid platform and just killed everything being invis. And today this mr11 test happened... First of all there is no fkn clue what to do, there are some narrow passages over the bottomless pit, there are some flying balls which you need to shoot to gain additional time, but nothing is said whether you need to shoot every orb which you will find in your way, or only shoot some of them, so i was stuck in the place where the bridge section must be lowered to pass... but in my case, for some reason that fkn S#&$e simply won't go down. I was so fkd up that i even went on youtube, and searched for a video with this test to know for sure what supposed to happen later.

For me this test ended at 1:14 i stood on a platform, there were no flying orbs around to shoot, i had 20 seconds left and i can't do anything to progress further because of that fkn bridge. 

 

So i'd like to point on 2 problems - 1 mastery ranks supposed to represent some skill of a player, yet they are some random glitchy trails forcing you to use cheap methods to quickly overcome them and forget about everything what happened there, because this tests have no relation to those things which you are doing while playing the game. And btw why after you failed mastery test you can't even practice in it to be better? It is logical that if you failed dealing with some task you will need to have a chance to practice in it at any time, but not after 24 hours past when you won't remember what to do and screw again.

 

2 In a game about space ninjas there is no stealth at all. And i have reasonable question - why? Because that's how stealth or spy missions looks like - Enemy radar > Invis > stand in a middle of a crowd > 4 > repeat if needed. Will there be any improvements to stealth system, maybe some fixes applied to enemy's x-ray vision for example? Or maybe some way to hide from them except using abilities, or maybe enemies could have some time which is required for them to spot a player lets say 2 sec, or somethig else. It is sad, because i started a game with a bow, tried to be a ninja) and finish missions without alarms, but quickly realized that this game most of the time is about 2,4, 2,4, 2,4, 2,4 sometimes 1,1,1,1,4.

Congrats on passing the test, Grom. :-) I'm sorry about the glitches you experienced, but if you want to practice for the next test, you can do so, as many times as you wish, from the relays.

 

If you go into the room where Cephalon Simaris is and turn right, all the tests are in there. You can only practice the level you'll be doing next, and it won't help if there are glitches, but it helps give you a feel of the test before it actually counts. Hope this helps, even a little. :-)
