People leaving/afking in Heroic Strikes is a big problem
I've been playing a lot of heroic strikes this weekend and I kid you not, probably 4/10 games I play someone either leaves right at the beginning, or is afk. I have video I recorded where someone put rubber bands on their thumbsticks so they wouldn't be kicked from the strike! (They were spinning in a circle).
Bungie needs to add an option to vote to boot someone who is afk and have a better replacement system for those who leave at the beginning. Many times I go a whole strike with two people and it never pairs a third in to finish it.
Also, if you leave a heroic strike I think you should be banned from entering the playlist for 15 minutes, and multiple offenses in a row results in a higher wait time. It is incredibly frustrating to finish Undying Mind or Dust Palace with only two people.
I have refilled myself.
EDIT: I can see how perhaps a two minute timer might be better. If the player doesn't move for two minutes like in crucible, the game removes them. However, they still need to have a system that fills the empty slots faster.

1 ReplyAnd people running ahead, I like to shoot everything because it helps with RNG. I cant stand when people run ahead and purposly kill themselves just to bring the fireteam foreward as if you're on their time its bullshit.

Happens to me half the time I swear. One guy started the door opening thing(which of course spawns enemies to deal with) and made his character hide in a corner while I dealt with them on my unleveled nightstalker subclass. I think I had about 40% armor at the time which was just [i]greeeeat[/i]. I killed all but two, and then pushed him out in their line of fire. I let him die then revived him about 10 times. I got bored. I took a short video of myself dancing after each revive and was going to send it to him but I didn't know how. Lololol

People can quit all they want. What bothers me is the join In progress hasn't worked since TTK launched....
-
What's the point of rubber banding the controller? I thought it was changed so that if you don't damage the boss you don't get rewards.

1 ReplyIts not so much people leaving, its more of a maybe 1/5 strikes will backfill when you have someone quit thats the problem Also i always quit dust palace and valus ta aric because i want engrams and those are broke

While I agree that it can be extremely frustrating to be in a strike with someone afk, running ahead or just not being there. I normally sit at the person's feet for 3 minutes them leave if they don't move. With the ones who run ahead I can understand them just wanting to finish asap, I like killing and I hope for an engram drop out just doing a bounty. On that note, I don't think having a vote to kick option is the key. I can't tell you the number of times I have seen people kicked right after a boss or right before killing a boss. That just will create more issues. I think that bungie should however fix this issue.

2 RepliesEdited by Soju_Fett: 9/22/2015 8:24:51 PMThey should add an option to tag out strikes you don't like ... So they aren't on your rotation. A lot of people quit at the beginning because they hate playing a particular strike or they're trying to farm something from a particular strike. I can't really blame anyone who bails because they don't think a particular strike is fun. The point of playing is to have fun. And you can't get good rewards from playing the strikes separately. So you're forced into this rotation which includes something you hate to do. AFKers? Yeah. They deserve a swift kick in the ...

Agreed - for this reason i only play strikes with pals
-
It's also annoying that you can't leave a shitty teammate between strikes or you'll lose that buff. So I'm stuck playing with the same jackass strike after strike.
-
Report them for inactivity I guess but I agree
-
I use the controller charger to just spin around and run in circles infinitely in crucible just to be blessed by rngesus

THEN GIVE ME A DOES NOT BOW THAT DOESNT SUCK A**

3 RepliesThey don't get loot from the strike. You have to enter the final stage of the strike to get rewards. They're just wasting their time.
-
I woild think the patch where someone doesnt get rewards if they don't help kill the boss would disvourage that. I didn't know that was still a problem then. Why do people go afk then? They used to just to let other people carry them
-
Dust palace is great with two people. For the last five days playing strikes. No afk's. But the people who do it suck.
-
I had two dicks that left the echo chamber strike right at the beginning today, I wanted to report them but their names were gone. Seriously these assholes deserve some punishment for it. Although the best solution that is not a timeout would really be that until the strike they left is over, everytime they try to reenter the playlist they keep getting added to the strike they left.

2 RepliesNight Stalker Hunter light 374 Max supercell, long far gone, and sword Xbox one gt same as above -looking to run strikes quickly, effectively, and have fun
-
3 RepliesThey do have a system in place for this, just report them and if enough people report them they get banned from that activity. I can see how they can make it better though. Instead of "rejoining group" they could have a timer and if you don't make it, tough cookie, your out.
-
4 RepliesI understand frustration. But slots fill if they leave. And on top of that 2 strikes are broken for loot related stuff, nearly everyone does strikes for loot. If there's no loot, why do the strike?
-
5 RepliesPROTIP: People leave your fireteam in the beginning once they check and see your light level is too low. I would do the same.
-
There's a problem with reporting people if they leave. You can't catch their username when they leave.
-
Same I hate it
-
Nah. Maybe if there were more strikes in the playlist so people wouldnt get the same one over and over that might drop the amount of people leaving. Afkers is something else, I agree there needs to be a vote to kick option.
-
I agree with this. I want to play the strikes but get so many people leaving or just sitting doing nothing. It's bad enough that all the enemies are bullet sponges. Something needs to be done about this, however I'm now seeing the frustration other have had with bungie and this game. The frustration is real
-
4 RepliesI think the problem comes with the vanguard strike streak buff! You dont have that much time between the strikes to -Go get some drink or eat -Go to the bathroom -Have a smoke -Give the child something he or her requires -stretch your legs -answer the phone So eventually on long streaks you have to be Afk for the first few minutes on the strike.

Would RNG give me taniks cloak would i dont leave. But not on heroic not on normal Its frustrated to make a strike like 100 times and u dont get the item. So now i leave if its not taniks strike
