Ketec Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) tbh .. this one needs better explanation and orientation before it starts. I failed it cuz the first white? orb appeared behind me - all i knew was "shoot the targets" so i did and nothing happened... until i saw the white orb when i had 3s left - and bang 24h cooldown. - WHY is there cooldown at all? And why does the line dissappear so fast aswell - do they expect everyone to have pro-grade visual memory so i know where the next target was (not that i have problems with visual memory - but its not ok for everyone)?

DrRandom7 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 My eye sight isn't pro-grade evident by the fact I wear glasses, and I did it just fine. Back in my day, games didn't have tutorials, they required common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endrance Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 You're lucky... I've got rank 6 3 days ago.... didn't do any test, just passed directly from 5 to 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feldgrep Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 First, cool down is so you have to have skill to get through it, and not just repetition. Second, a better description is on wiki. Maybe even a video. Lastly, i thought the line moved rather slow, and if I recall correctly, the ball you shoot next also lights up. Might have been my resolution or a bug though. Good luck next try.

Gryphticon Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 The test was designed for normal people with normal visual memory. I had a minute left when I completed the test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketec Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) nothing about it said shoot the white dots or where the line is - specially since it started behind me - lotus said shoto the targets so i shot what ever was in front of me.

Lampshade Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) i agree with the people saying you lack common sense because its hard not to add up a white orb suddenly appearing when you are asked to shoot a target and track it. it was a marksman test and you failed to search and find your target because you are not aware of whats around you.

So the glowing ball moving along a track didn't even slightly trigger a 'Oh, that must be my priority target', though I sympathize with you that you probably didn't have a clue what you were doing, that was a result of lack of common sense then any tutorial. I mean really, it says shoot the target, and there's a glowing ball moving along a track in a shooting range manner and you really didn't believe that it was your primary target? The younger generation seems to have a need for spoon feeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iValianT Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Doesn't the camera move to the next orb too? How could you fail such easy test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketec Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) it would have been easy If the orb would have actually appeared in the direction i was put in at the start when lotus says shoot, but not if it appears BEHIND you. Sicne it says nothing about trackign a orb - and if you havent doen it before, you dotn even know to look for it from behind you - if there are orbs everyhere in front of you. Im not talking about TRACKING or it being hard to shoot. Thats somethign you came up with to troll about. Edited July 22, 2013 by Ketec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, you're the only person to have problems, you must have sub par eye sight, evident by your inaccuracy to hit the correct keys when it comes to spelling.

Did you even read what he said? Because if you did you'd know it's true - I'd imagine all of us have trouble seeing behind us when looking forward.

Ketec Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 i dont have targeting problems, i played weeks with sniperton just fine. OR any sniper type weapons. But if i didnt know to look for it, and it was behind me - i couldnt even start to track it. I shot at the orbs i saw - tho they didnt help and time was running out - then i noticed some white orb, but way too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if you did you'd know it's true - I'd imagine all of us have trouble seeing behind us when looking forward. Fact is, when I did the test, the camera pointed me at the orb that was about to move, then you had the option to turn, it sounds more like he turned before checking what the glowing orb is. And this seems to be the case, it doesn't sound like he was spawned in the wrong direction, because that type is fixated. It sounds like he turned away from it and is now complaining on the forums. Even then he could have looked around for a glowing orb should it have been in the wrong direction, rotating 360 degrees is simply not that difficult. I don't mean to sound like an A****** but I am one so that's how it comes across, it just seems he didn't try hard enough and is now complaining, a glowing orb simply isn't that hard to miss.

Ketec Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 it is easy to say and think about glowing orb - if you have actually done it once before. If you have never doen it or even heard of it - you dont even know it would be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

direcyphre Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Every single test is about awareness and intuition. As far as I know, at the beginning of every mastery test, the camera rotates around your position, showing you the extent of your surroundings. You are also usually on some circular platform or 'field'. Put in the same context, it's like complaining about dying on another mastery test because enemies spawned behind you. But really, there isn't much to complain about, because you still gain mastery points normally even if you haven't ranked up, and there is no incredible bonus by reaching Rank 6.

DrRandom7 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 i started the thread about the issue.. but now im rather amazed about the amount of trolls and basement dwellers this forum has. The issue is about your lack of awareness, as stated in the previous post, the camera rotates etc to show your surroundings, there is no bug, and the forum clearly has trolls and basement dwellers, it's the internet. But the fact you're convinced you aren't the problem when you're the only one having this 'issue' clearly you must be the troll yourself, I pity you for your stubbornness and arrogance. If you really are convinced that your basement dweller accusation is just, send a support ticket and don't waste the time of people in general discussion.
