Though in this case, rather than just being slow, some of it just downright impossible. Different story altogether.
Maybe to keep the gold sink option we could pay 3m to lose out on the badges, but at least get the training part done for the advancement. Or even have an ap cost, say 100 or so, so the option of actually doing it is more efficient but players with high ping aren't prevented from completing it. I also can't do the lightning bolt dan 3 for the same reason.
Yes yes this is a tired, and beaten topic but I'm just here to let off some steam. Most dan tests do actually test if you know the skill, or combos with it but praying you get crits isn't really skillful IMO.
"Screw the rules! I got Money!
... why do I need to spend millions of gold for a 1 in a billion chance to get half the requirement for dan 3? nexon why must you make everything rng and not skill?
Not gonna lie, charging strike dan is extremely easy, just like all the others. Your connection seems bad, get a ping booster like WTFast, Mudfish or Pingzapper.
EDIT: Never mind, for some reason people started to make Dan threads all of sudden and now they got merged. Thank god i won't need to see biased polls and multiple threads about same thing now.
If only all those chicks were cheering YOU on, instead of the Gutsy Chick.
Good luck with that test.
Basically. I feel like 3m and 50ap to skip it is fair. I do think I'll be able to get the dan magnum done once I get lower ms (thought it was about 200, it's almost 400) but if I could I'd pay to skip this one.
Still stand by my point that lightning bolt is impossible at high ping though.
I have 600-2000ms at any given time! Never less than 600ms, even on a good day! I don't do dan tests because they are actually impossible for me! I do however just pretend they don't exist, which makes it not so bad.
Give us another method of fulfilling the advancement requirements that just punishes our gold wallets harder, but is feasible for those with high ping to do- Anything simpler so I can actually start enjoying the game again... Please...
I can't ever see them replacing it with just paying gold. It's intended to be a heavy money sink and bragging rights.
Example for Dan 2 -> 3
-Pass Dan Advancement test with an A (0/50) +0.20
-Pass Dan Advancement test with an S (0/20) +5.00
-Pass Dan Advancement test with an SS (0/4) +20.00
Or something along those lines.
That'll punish wallets harder but more fairly, and allow people with bad ping a chance to rank their Dans, instead of having to sit out when they Fail-Pass.
Despite being unable to pass Dan tests due to bad ping, I am fully against "just let us pay our way up" as an alternative.
Honestly even just not allowing the "fail pass" would be helpful. I don't care what people say about "two little clicks", I ended getting delayed on the Dan 3 magnum test a bunch of times due to just being a mere 10 or 20 points off. :P
I'm not sure if getting really lucky with crits and decent ping is worth bragging about.
Crazy hard is hardly extreme enough of a description for Human magnum shot Dan test for Dan 3.
when everything goes right as a human, the best I ever got was 11k, just like Hellkaizer said.
and that was me getting Dan 2.
Ever since the highest I can do while trying, and missing 95%'s, not critting, is 8kish.
This is absolutely a case of artificial difficulty and unfair balance, Humans waste a WHOLE second MORE than elves per magnum shot due to the cooldown.
And elves already have issues getting Dan 3?
Give me a break.
RNG =\= skill..
p.s.
This reply is not a personal attack on you, but the Dan 3 magnum shot disparity in difficulty between human and elf tests.
On a side note, the flameburst dan3 is also just as bad, you basically need crits to pass. I'm honestly just tired of dan tests in general, a lot of them were a good challenge that really tests your knowledge of the skill, but with magnum it's kill everything as fast as possible to get to the last round where hits mean something.
