Closed Dan tests are unbalanced and unfair
Comments
Old system: go in with three friends, and at least one of you gets progress with a passing score! Plus there are no hidden score mechnics aside all clears!
New system: go in solo, pass with a low score and too bad. Oh you want entirely clear and up front scoring mechanics? I'm sorry.
You have to learn how to pass these things with the high scores you need. Learning isn't accomplished in a 5 minute session done once every 24 hours. And I KNOW how the old system worked (Dan 3'd both the life skills and most of the combat tab stuff on it) and I'm not saying this isn't an improvement from that. What I'm saying is we don't have the individual experimentation time needed to figure out all of these stupid hidden score mechanics in some of the exams (Healing being one of them).
Especially when we have a community wiki that we can all contribute as well.
When you start charging 30 thousand gold per attempt at picking apart a system that isn't transparent it becomes a lot less fun than figuring out a puzzle in a generation quest that costs you nothing to reattempt instantly.
Here's some inspiration for you my dude.
lol 30k is nothing for most players. Just stop buying fashion for awhile
if you're doing dan you should be able to afford it anyway
It starts to bite into my bank when I need to soft reset an exam ten times a day because I didn't do enough damage, get corner camped by an instant aggro spawn, or get poor luck with crafting requests.
Agreed, with Mabiflation, 30 K is annoying, but not that much.
I've probably spent close to 2mil already and haven't gotten anything to Dan 3 yet, so it can get to be a bit much if your luck, skill, and knowledge in that exam are lacking.
In case you weren't aware, there's a bonus every time you blind 5 enemies within ~12 seconds. So if you make a cycle of blinding monsters in the first wave, you can get about half the points you need for SS before they die. I found that bum rushing to the bonus wave with close combat didn't work out super well the single time I tried it, but that might be something else to try if you can't get to 12k without it.
No. Just.. no. Quit talking like the majority of the population of Mabinogi are elitist/fashionogi.
To be fair Dan ranks were always meant to be "end game" content. That being said, trying to make the entry fee a moot point in this is an insult to a lot of people.
Man I wish I was so lag free that I had the luxury of spawning lightning sprites and still being able to pass the test. Wish I was lucky enough that all 3 Giant ice sprites spawn right next to me and decided to load defense rather that instantly spamming CC4+ ice bolt or ice spear.
I guess the only difference in the method is charging firebolt twice per shot. Appreciate the video, I know no korean so I don;t know where to look for vids like that.
tbh, you can't really put a price on knowledge.
Think of all the future 30ks that are saved by the early pioneers' investment.
Assuming nothing is changed in this system, there will be no gold saved by pioneers because most of the tests require luck based elements to align nearly perfectly.
I somehow got a super smooth run with this dan 3 test. It's possible
