what the -blam!- is going on with Strikes??
I just gave up after attempting 9 Roc strikes.
All except 1 I had to abandon because of moronic -blam!-ing pricks sitting or standing idle at the start of levels. It's reached unbearable levels now. I reported most of them and squashed a couple.

Stand with them. Have a game of chicken to see who moves first.

6 RepliesEdited by KevINCOGNITO82: 12/20/2014 6:44:33 PMHow long are they standing there for before you get all pissed and leave? I hope you give them at least 2 mins. ...I know I'm never ready at the start of the strike rearranging load out cause I thought I had more time in orbit on way, deleting unwanted shit from previous strikes, take a leak at loading screen get held up by my son, grab a snack, shake a fart or 3 out in another room, etc. On a serious note tho, sometimes random unexpected shit happens tho like you spill a drink, that phone call you've been waiting for finally comes, someone's at the door like the pizza delivery dude, dog shits/pukes on floor, your girlfriend/wife/boyfriend/husband/mom/dad/kid needs you to do something that can't wait at that exact moment, your stomach is acting up and you let a lil hot fart out out only to realize a little poo came out too AKA emergency. Sometimes shit happens (literally and figuratively) man that you weren't expecting, sometimes it happens right down your leg. Always give a minute or 2 to that person just for the benefit of the doubt. It's not like you can't do the strike with 2 ppl or solo for a few mins. I've reported ppl prematurely before for not moving within like 40 seconds of the strike beginning, only for them to be really chill, cool, great communicator/teammate, and nothing short of amazing at the game. I've also reported someone about a 45 seconds into the beginning, only to get a frantic voice message 30 seconds after reporting them, where you could tell something happened that needed immediate attention, and they even took the time to apologize while explaining why they were gonna be afk for a few mins. Had a guy go afk in beginning of archon preist strike, came back mid fight on archon (noone had died) so this dude trekked from wherever he got moved to during our progress, all the way to archon preist. He hopped on to strike channel, apologized like 20 times saying he's sorry amd hope we didn't report him as his cat must have knocked over a candle on to his living room carpet and started a mini fire behind him. He only knew cause he could smell shit burning. He put it out and came back to finish and said after the strike he was gonna clean it all up. Just be careful and shoot that person a message, invite them to a party, or jump in their party to see what's up. Edit: stealth ) add

Someone today stood just before the area that opens up to kill the Archon Priest and wouldn't move.. I got mad so I jumped up there and started punching him, and he THEN magically came to life and started punching me... This continued for a minute until I realized this piece of lard wasn't going to cooperate, so I jumped down and continued playing. Did he move? Not for the next 5 minutes as I and another teammate killed all of the enemies before the Archon Priest popped out of his prison thing. He then decided to jump up to a ledge that no enemy could shoot him from. I looked straight at him and I pointed because I wanted him to know I knew what he was doing. Do you know what his response was? HE DANCED. THAT PIECE OF LARD DANCED BADK AT ME. I WAS SO PISSED

Just make sure you give them at least 20 seconds if you see them in the menus. Often I'm using some ether seeds or the like to farm some glimmer while doing the strike. After that, ram them with your sparrow!
-
4 RepliesBecause most strikes I do, I'm only in it for the bounties... As soon as I finish that bounty, I'm going to orbit whether you like it or not! Maybe find some people to game with so this doesn't ever happen to you..
-
Another reason not to play this game anymore
-
It's getting so bad. Every single strike I have to spam melee someone for being a cock
-
2 RepliesIf you're a Titan just use Should Charge to push them off the edge, or use a Sparrow to run them into something to kill them.
-
1 ReplyThe Farquaadening is happening. Just wait, for the Shrekening will occur soon.
-
If this happens, get to a darkness zone as fast as possible then kill yourself. They get transported. That's when you report and quit.
-
Just do what my friends and I do. Get to darkness zone. Proceed to kill self so they get ported into darkness zone. Use them as meat shields. Profit.
-
I always report them and just start over
-
Yeah man that's happened to me twice the eventually showed up close to the end of the strike...but on the beginning its like they weren't doing anything
-
Edited by khatiya: 12/21/2014 3:58:07 AMThis only happened to me once. Had a guy not participating the entire strike, must just be for that bounty where you can't die in a strike. Edit. Typo.
-
4 RepliesDid they give all the enemies a buff with the DLC? Because they seem a little harder to take solo.
-
4 RepliesLarger issue, Destiny is getting very, very repetitive. ... when I get the same strike three times in a row, I am sorrow, I just have to depart ...
-
35 RepliesIt's really starting to piss me off as well bungie really need to do something about this
-
Hey, at least you don't get kicked by the server 60% of the time.
-
I actually enjoy soloing them and wish I had an option to anyway so it doesn't bother me when they do. If it really bothers me with someone though, I'll usually die at boss on purpose to get them in there with a death, ending that bounty for them if they have it. Then I just dance in front of them the whole time the boss is shooting at us.
-
7 RepliesThe strikes really aren't that difficult. If two ppl go afk I get all the way to the end report them they get booted and I finish the strike lol
-
That's why u do them with friends :)
-
This is the #1 reason RNG is WRONG for this iteration of an MMO/FPS. Its fine for regular gaming, farming, raids, and the nightfall/weekly, but it need to be changed for the strike playlists that have matchmaking.
-
cant agree more, I'm not the world best player, but I really don't understand people who join a strike and don't give it their all
-
1 Replyjust dance close to them, they usually leave when they realize you're not gonna do the whole thing for them while they're afk ;)
-
2 RepliesI don't strike as much as I used to, mainly because of three things. 1.You get the same strike twice, sometimes three times in a row (I always leave on the 3rd one) 2. Idiots who refuse to do anything 3. Idiots who try to kill you with their sparrow. Yes I understand they think its funny, but I think its funny to leave them at it and join another strike.

I've gone to get my food out of the microwave and my teammate left because he thought me and my friend were gone. Just allowed me to get my other friend in there lol.
