Mastery Rank 17 is too hard

[Zohan Dwir]

Which sadist designed MR17 test? Only 1 attempt every 24h? Random spawns for the bonus time orbs? For the second time I'm trying it out and rage-quitting as the first orb spawned on the upper level and it took me too long to get there. Arghhhhh!

The only bloody challenging Test is the MR 7 where you have to kill all enemies unnoticed or you restarts, everything else can be done if you bring half decent items.

A challange if you dont have hush.

Hahaha OP, I had issue with this one too, just practice it a few times and you will get it, it's actually very easy.

But the most hillarious MR challenge is your next one, MR18. Game is gonna skill check your ability to complete 5 waves of defense. Challenging right? I bet you've never done one of those before.

[Shuri]

you can practice the test over and over again. when you fully ready then you can qualify. take your time. no rush
and btw, if this test is too hard for you, i cant imagine how stressful you are at MR25 test. to put it simple, the test is similar to MR17 test but with archwing. awesome right?

[Grimjaw]

How do you practice tests?

go to any Relay (except Maroo's Bazaar), fast travel to Cephalon Simaris, on right side of the room you'll find it. it marked with MR Sigil.

also, remember always to do some practice runs before the qualify.

This is the only test I've really found any challenge value to. Not much, mind. But there was one point midway where I couldn't find an orb right away, and wound up down to about 4 seconds before I located it. It's the only test so far that hasn't been laughably easy.

I've powered through literally every test with minimal issues and no practice runs up to MR18. And I'm casual. If you're having trouble with the test, you either need better gear or more practice. It's not hard.

[No_Quarter]

if anything these tests should be harder.

once you into practice and you work out which approach works best - you can nail it 100% cases.
imo that is a bad concept, I want a damn hard test with multiple outcomes.

if your quick memory is good enough you can remember each enemy spawn and timing which is bad, it should be more about being able to react to circumstances and less about going A to B, shooting 5 guys, moving to C, bullet jump high, aimglide, pew pew, done. Because that is how most of them are done, you remember how it goes and you do it. At least those "harder ones".

But in the end of the day I do not care as those mastery tests are a really small part of the game, I'd sure love more sense and challenge to them but... who cares

MR25 was much easier because you could do it the same exact way as 17 except it was ALOT easier to get between orbs. drop restore jump on archwing afterburn to closest orb and melee slam it hit 4 then hop on archwing again.

Not that bullet jumping around the levels of 17 was that difficult but that portion of it was removed and replaced with "hold space bar and point face at next orb" for 25.

Just did it yesterday after some practice rounds. I would suggest to pick a weapon like the Atomos or Amprex to kill multiple enemies near you quickly- or at least a fast firing one wih a lot of ammo and little reload time, as the longer you reload the more time you waste (tried Vaykor Hek first... was problematic). The enemies also spawn in after you destroy an Orb, so focus on destroying those rather then killing everything near you.
After 3 test runs I did the real one and it really wasn´t this hard to be honest.

I used Titania Prime. I loaded her up with energy ability, duration and ability strength. I took off all health. I threw down 2 energy boost (you can buy these in store). I used only ability 4 Razorwing fly around and hit the orbs, hit monsters along the way. I did run out of energy all 3 practice and the final one towards the end and had to throw down another energy boost and pop Razorwing again. I could not for the life of me Win this with ember , volt, Mag or Octavia and nova I'm not that good with...
