if i had to choose between feeling cheated by failing a test 2-3 times in a row at 85-94% and having it locked at 100% b4 i could test but would never fail...
i would choose the 100% option. when i was testing for level 5 shotgun... those 3-4 vtimes i failed set me back by like 2 weeks and gave jocasta a great advantage over me. b4 that we would go back and forth.... and i expected to be back on top of her for t least a week or so of good xp. i could not help but feel that those setbacks caused me to miss a window of opportunity that will not be open to me again for a couple months.
i would much rather play on an even playing field that the 100% locked testing would provide.
Then choose the 100% option. Nobody is putting a gun to your head and making you take the test before that time.
Skills, stats and levels. It's a sum of all the parts. Play your own game and stop worrying about what other players are doing.

i just can not wait till the game evolves more to see how some of you cry :roll: ,i have a box of tissue for those that need it, the skills have been here how long and how many of us have failed, i think most of us have failed at least once or twice, i know i have , thats why i go the 100% route, snozze you lose , take a chance be ready to accept the good with the bad :shock:

and what makes it allllllllllllllllllll the worst... is the decrease in percentage everytime you fail. this system blows chunky chunks of chunky chunks!!!!

I love the skill system.
But seeing other people make me sad.
Sometime I wonder why it does not work out for everyone. :?
And then, I remember how this all works out in the end. :wink:
I love the skill system!

i failed a rank 5 test tonight,at 85% which i usually pass at that percentage...my total % dropped about 11 points,and i was unable to retest....from my own failures i thought after a fail it dropped 10 points? have any of you noticed the lost percentage from a fail? i just wanted to retest at 75% and now i cant,,,this sucks..
as for people upset over the skills,,i think being able to push a weapons max damage well beyond its thresh hold would be worth all the time it took to do it..think of it as free stats,or a weapon upgrade...its worth the time ,that those 8 clicks of a mouse took everday..

This part I actually agree with. Losing 3 or 4 days study time in addition to the cash loss is unreasonable. I`d like to see the loss reduced and maybe an introduction of 1 exam attempt per test day.
