The strikes lately have been great & now that we have strike scoring the whole mechinic is even better.
So I have some advice to share with my fellow Guardians, both old & new based on my observations.
1; with scoring there is no need to rush through each strike as fast as possible. Slow down, get the kills, collect the points & earn the medals. It should be a race to kill everything, not just the boss (because exotics are meh).
Which leads me to my next point.
2; shoot & especially reload from cover. The benefit? Dieing less. Also not every enemy needs, or can be killed by rushing up to it with a shotgun.
3; try covering each other through different sections of each strike. The Undying Mind is my favorite strike. At several points 1 Guardian can be providing an overwatch role with sniper rifles & the Y3 Gally. If you see me doing this, it means that I care.
4; please please please talk to each other. I can count on 1 hand the number of strikes where at least 2 of us were talking to each other & we were all randomly match made. I purposely bought a good headset with a mic for this game. A little communication would be aces.
5; keep being awesome, Guardians.

Edit 2.
So many of you have commented. Thank you for your variety of views.
One thing I forgot to add. Go for the high ground. It goes without saying from a tactical point of view, that firing down on enemy targets from a high vantage point give you a tactical advantage.
Cheers to you all.

Also generating Orbs with a buyer talk game can be huge.

10 AntwortenSpeed running is the only way to go. If you take your time, you're basically wasting your time.

I have a ton more fun in strikes speed running them, especially when you have a team that works well with it. I don't think I've ever gotten less than gold tier since they started doing the scoring. With the right team I'll run strikes all day. I'm not the sniper sit back type though. I like to get right in the middle of the action and wonder how I walked out alive. Lol

But coach I'm a strange breed, I use Titan tactics (punch all the things) as a warlock, I definitely don't die very often (no seriously this isn't sarcasm) :o
-
7 AntwortenWay too complicated. Strikes are simply SSDD. Shoot stuff don't die.
-
Sadly there is 0 reason to go for score after the weekly bounty needing it is accomplished. Back to speed running for most.

Bearbeitet von Barrier: 1/5/2017 3:49:21 AMStrike scoring literally just added more numbers & graphics on the HUD. You get nothing for "most medals" or "highest score" . They mean nothing. I don't care how you play unless you're running Voidfang Vestments on a Sunsinger with an arc burn modifier active. What sort of communication do you want me to give you (a stranger) on a Strike that I've run since 2014 & know like the back of my hand? Cmon dude, stop treating everyone here like idiots. Strikes aren't difficult. Personally I power run every strike & most of the time have double the score the other two guys have. Challenging yourself to kill everything as fast as possible without dying is exciting. Taking strikes slow is boring as hell! Get in there! Do work Guardian!

5 AntwortenNah. Skeleton keys are more important than some imaginary medals.
-
who cares about strike scoring ? we dont get any added benefit form it. the sooner I clear each strike the sooner I can get rewards, that's all I care about is the loot.
-
14 AntwortenStrike scoring is just another item to add to the list of complete let downs Destiny has to offer. Does achieving gold tier grant the team better rewards? No. Does attaining the highest individual score grant you better rewards? No. Does medal count have any sort of bearing on rewards? No. Strike scoring is utterly pointless, save for one single bounty each week which gives you a small chance at re-earning Icebreaker. Thanks as always, Bungie.

4 AntwortenBut everything can be killed with a shotgun...
-
1 AntwortenGood post, but I have a serious question. Is the #TitanFistBump before or after the Titan melee got fixed? If it's before, that thing will be super awkward.
-
1 AntwortenGood comment, I agree with you now better to slow down take the kills, still too many people trying to speed run them.
-
2 AntwortenIs there a way to see your individual score on the strikes? I've only seen the team score.
-
Reading these comments, it would seem most people are being blatantly oblivious to the fact that others either: 1. Like to clear the whole strike 2. Are working on bounties [i]other [/i]than the Medals bounty. [spoiler]They do exist, ya know[/spoiler] 3. Are just plain obtuse to the cares or needs of others

7 AntwortenI didn't know you could talk in strikez. When I've done probably 1000 strikes and I've never heard 1 person talk

Bearbeitet von StyroHaRPO: 1/5/2017 7:50:10 PMScoring has had some major negative effects though,mostly combined with zavalas bounty for flawless strikes...people play so passively it borders boring...so afraid to die they just snipe constantly Also, some strikes have way way WAY too much heavy ammo, I'm sick of one guy running around with almost unlimited heavy and hitting every thrall and dreg with a rocket...I am usually tops in kills while mostly using a machine gun and fusion rifle, it's a boring strike when everyone just gallys everything
-
2 AntwortenI have only seen a couple of speed runners since the strike scoring came in, I took my time. They generally die speed running like in the Shrieker room of the Darkblade or the stairway of the Undying Mind. I leave them there while myself and the other player mop up enemies.

If people need tips for strikes I wanna curl up in a ball and cry my eyes out until I die. It's sooooooo easy but alas it's nkt for everyone. If people can't handle a strike then they shouldn't play this game. Ripperoni pepperoni

If you're not first, you're last
-
Sometimes I like to speed run strikes and I really feel bad because some people like to kill things. Strikes should have optional match making.
-
AFK and quitting out has been the biggest problem for me since strike scoring came in. I'd say 80% of strikes I've played on have had this issue. Had two players just sit down on the warsat on the Shank strike 🙄 Maybe it's just me and no-one wants me in their fireteam 😂
-
only go for score if bounty requires it if not rush
-
I've got to disagree with all of this. Only speed matters.
-
Strike scoring is only relevant for 1 bounty and that's sunrise. Other than that I rush through as fast as possible for my chance at a skeleton key and that god roll loop/grasp.
