nerf the advancement tests!

Bruh.. the main problem isn't that the Dan itself is really hard.. I mean of course you have to depend on RNG but beside of that.. our connection lags is what makes it really bad.
Im using fiber connection with 100mbps+ and it's still hard because I have 220+ ping (EU).
Obviously there are times where I (luckily) pass these tests but most of the time its 10x harder than people who have less than 50 ping.
The tests were made and tested with nearly no lag in mind because Kr is much smaller than the Us, thus the test is a bit more difficult for us since we basically copy/paste content from Kr.
The tests aren't impossible, unless you hover above 100 ms all the time. Seriously if it's not lag then you are probably missing something or just have a bit of bad luck, these tests are for proving your mastery with the skill. Not everything in this game should be cleared on the first try with mistakes made at every turn.
On another note, you came into this thread in pretty much the exact same mindset as the last one where you brought this up. Learn from past mistakes from all parties there and maybe you wouldn't be needing to call for help like that.
This is the reality of the situation. This is a South Korean made game built around South Korean grade internet, and this one in particular is heavily delay-dependent when it comes to the 'challenging' stuff. You'll just need to learn how to work around it, or opt out of content entirely until someone over there decides to listen to their international audience.
That's not considerate.
If the tests were made more lenient, then higher ping due to the increased distance would be less of an issue.
You probably couldn't make everyone happy, but it would at least be better for more.
And better than nothing changing.
inconsiderate or not, it doesn't matter, now I think @Buffalos was mentioning NA but I think same logic can be applied to anyone getting lag because of their location. now if you've still taken every step possible to reduce lag and still no dice and you live in a bad location, well you are just SOL. Yeah it sucks and its an all around terrible situation but theres not much you can do except voice your frustration but im sure people have already been doing that since dan revamp update, so it may or not may not happen, but I would guess NA nexon would put its NA customers first and well thats another can of worms entirely.
Point is theres probably not much you can do it except try to somehow overcome the lag or just deal with it until change comes, if it happens.
Obviously we know that. We didn't ask for lagless connection like NA players. All we want is some nerf (maybe a minute extra, or more points achievable)
Also saying that we need to stop complaining is complete bs. Nexon welcomed EU/AU players. It's not like we are region locked and we are forcing ourself thru that to play this game.
I'm not saying you should stop complaining but what I am saying its the only thing you can do, hell I think you guys are pretty dedicated playing through the lag, I would of quit a long time ago. But the only thing you can do is try to overcome the lag ( and yes complaining would probably count as doing something I suppose) or sit tight until something is done. But still In My Opinion ( im not saying this is fact ) mostly likely this situation is out of our control
Where did I say you were totally against a Dan nerf? or that you said lag doesn't exist? can you find those for me?
Obviously I'm not blaming nexon for this, since it was bound to happen anyways (not every content will run smooth for everyone)
All I said was that it would be nice if nexon would consider some type of nerf, like giving us other ways to achieve more points or give us more time in those tests.
@TheOthic
I luckily overcame a bit of the issue since I am almost done with most dans even though I have 220+ ping. But the ones that I have left are nearly impossible because of the lag. And this isn't just about me but every other EU/AU player who still has a long way to go with dans, which is why it would be great if nexon would consider to do something about this for their welcomed overseas players.
^^^
That would help a lot for people struggling with RNG and/or lag (like Healing )
You could say that for every "solution" people have ever mentioned about everything if you're thinking that way.
It would most likely solve the problem because as far as I know (from my own EU-lag experience) a minute/more points would definitely make it possible to pass these dans.
...Obviously you don't, even if you think you do.
But If you really are having issues at 60 ping then I think you need to revisit your skills with these dan tests.
The more ping the worse it is, and most EU players have over 200. As for AU, don't let me even start.
It is the truth though, whether you like it or not..
>The more ping you have, the worse these tests can get.
>You have less ping than EU players
>It should be easier for you than for us.
If I had that 60 ping, you wouldn't even see me on this thread complaining.
As for you hoping that my lag doubles, it wouldn't even matter if it did. I already lag so bad that I probably wouldn't even be able to tell the difference anymore.
Some do, some don't.
But most important, ya'll lag less than us either way.
Me complaining at 60 ping? I doubt it. I had 40 ping in EU and I felt lagless af.
As for someone else; I already said what you had to re-visit.
Or maybe.. you know...offer solutions that nexon could look into and do something about these dan tests?
Obviously I won't ever get rid of this ping, I already learnt that when I started playing NA when Mabinogi EU died.
Don't know about others but I sure as hell didn't "rage on the forums" about this. I simply offered a solution.
For example on rubberbanding, I will have it happen at least once a day when I play (especially Dunby/Quilla but if this happens to everyone maybe I'm wrong). I have 20-25 ping and 600mpbs speed usually.
Noted this maybe it's based on other factors but definitely having large ping (with unreliable connections) could have a cause. I can't really judge since there probably isn't enough people from both sides in a controlled area where we know for a fact that things like personal issues with your computer aren't the cause.
On terms of dan tests, I wouldn't mind having a nerf on some skills because I can completely understand if you're having lag issues on a very strict dan tests (not like smash or windmill in my opinion).
Haha honestly I use ethernet and I'm at school so I really have no choice to the router stuff but it's just something interesting to note. Possibly process stuff; I'd need to check more indepth to make sure that there's nothing running in my background that may cause issues. (I've had rubberbanding since I started 9-10 years ago but for important stuff it's not a problem when I need it to matter like SMs or dan tests) Thanks for the tips tho :>
