I have nothing better to do but kill your guardian and your KD until it sends you to orbit.
Enjoyed every second of this, more so than doing the actual strike. "YOU COULD'VE RAN X AMOUNT OF TIMES THROUGH STRIKES AND HURR YOU NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOU ARE WORSE THAN SATAN BECAUSE YADDA YADDA YADDA" Bruh, 919 strikes so far on my Titan alone. I'm good. Believe me. I'm set for vanguard marks and all that. Chill.
Edit 1: Holy crap, 14 likes? THIS WAS POSTED FOR FUN.
Edit 2: So... I'm guessing the Destiny community agrees with me? 27 likes so far.
Edit 3: I love the irony of all the people coming to the thread to tell me no one cares. Are you guys serious? lol
Edit 4 (THE BIG ONE):
[b]He wasn't afk for a few minutes-[/b]
This guy was away long enough for us to push him to Hellmouth and drop him into the hole over 60 times. When he finally left, he was alive and had not produced a ghost. Either he shut off his console, went to dashboard, or the game returned him to orbit for being away.
[b]He had/has a history of AFKing in games-[/b]
We looked on Destiny Database, looked at his recent games, and saw an obvious pattern. 15 of the past 25 games this player got 0-4 kills, several of the strikes were incomplete, and all were started with full fireteams.
[b]The 'other guy' who was carrying us is my girlfriend, we were in a party together-[/b]
Yeah, again, assumptions make an ass out of some of you. She helped push him over, helped kill him all those times, and helped res him. We had a hell of a time laughing and making fun of the guy the WHOLE TIME. This was fun. Maybe even a bit of a bonding experience for us.
[b]Killing him over and over was far more fun than actually running the strike-[/b]
We laughed, joked, and even put on Alpha Lupi to res him faster. We had some random there trying to help us and invited him to the party to talk. If the time is what has you bothered, it was late in the week. Vanguard mark were maxed, Sneezes had already gotten like 6 exotics from the Raids and from Nightfall. We were just playing to play.
[b]"No one cares"-[/b]
Since apparently its a cardinal sin for me to mention the likes, lets say this: it was trending, tons of people commented, plenty of them seemed to care (either enough to complain or enough to say "JOB WELL DONE"). You are simply wrong.
[b]Afk? AFK?! HOW DARE YOU, I HAVE NO KEYBOARD- [/b]
Well its really used as a general term. You're splitting hairs and have missed the point. Not sure what else to tell you.
[b]BUT I AFK ALL THE TIME LIFE HAPPENS-[/b]
If you afk for a full strike, you are part of the problem. Yes, I understand, sometimes the dog needs to go out. Yes, I know, kids get into trouble. If you are away for a few minutes, no biggy. Come back, lets play, good luck. But if you can't sit down and play for like 8 minutes to finish a strike without being interrupted, maybe stop trying to play something that forces multiplayer. Or you know, don't have a kid you aren't ready for. http://images.wikia.com/mungyodance/images/3/39/1354237059761.jpg
[b]We didn't use sparrows to kill him. [/b]
[u]I will never ever carry an afker through a strike. No, its not hard to run. No, I will not let someone get a reward for not playing the game. [/u]
EDIT 5: [quote]Quitters Never Win
While finessing a boss encounter is all well and good, you won’t appreciate the difference unless you actively participate in the Strike. That might make all the sense in the world to you, but there are players in our world who prefer to hang out in the rear with the gear and let their Fireteam brave all the danger.
Once again, John Hopson is on the case. User Research, after all, is all about the science of improving the player experience.
JH: In Destiny’s community, the efforts of a dedicated player can have a huge impact on the experience of hundreds or thousands of other players. Most of the time, this is awesome. When someone is willing to put in the time as a Raid sherpa, a clan leader, or a forum moderator, we all benefit and Destiny comes a little bit closer to its potential as a shared world.
Unfortunately, there are a few individuals who have put in that same level of monomaniacal effort into being jerks. Sitting idle in Strikes and PvP has been on our radar for a while now, but it’s become clear that a small number of the worst idlers are responsible for damaging the experiences of thousands of other players. One player not contributing in an activity might seem like a small thing, but it can make a Weekly Heroic Strike unbeatable or make a Crucible match unwinnable. Those little bits of damage to the experiences other players adds up over time.
This week, we’ve restricted a small number of the most toxic players from matchmaking. The restrictions we’re putting on their accounts are temporary and apply only to the activities where they were chronically idle. If the affected players keep up this behavior after the restrictions lapse, we will apply stronger and (eventually) permanent restrictions on their accounts.
How this policy applies to you:
1) It probably doesn’t. Do not panic just because you had to put down the controller in a Strike last week when the pizza guy showed up just as your fireteam reached Valus Ta'aurc. There is no way you will accidentally be flagged under this policy unless you are a truly dedicated idler, someone who has really gone out their way to repeatedly cheat their teammates.
2) Please be sure to use the reporting system to let us know how your teammates are affecting your Destiny experience, both positively and negatively. We will never act on player reports alone, but we use those reports to find areas and individuals where our automated detection systems aren’t working correctly. They are an invaluable part of how we tune the live experience of our game.[/quote]

i am afk while posting this. i hope im with you

I support the non-afk movement. I also am against the one guy who runs through the entire strike and never kills anything then dies at the boss and screws us all up. I do strikes for the fun if it. Have fun people.

14 AntwortenSo one thing I don't understand about all this. If your phone rings, your cat has a stroke, whatever valid reason you have for potentially needing to be away from the game for 20+ mins why not just go back to orbit? It's likely the people left will have another fireteam member matched in before the end of the Strike. I get it, you need a glass of water or whatever, you should be able to take a minute without being trolled or reported by your fireteam. I'm with you on that. I also get that it isn't "their strike" but it also isn't "your strike" you aren't entitled to finish it and get a reward just because the phone rang or whatever. So if something comes up and you know you'll be AFK for most of the strike, just go to orbit... Seems like the common sense, polite thing to do.

1 AntwortenI found your story interesting. I personally don't really care if someone goes AFK waiting for the Strike to complete so they can get their Bounty/Marks or whatever reason they do it. I am more peeved by people that are in too much of a hurry trying to do it way too fast.

I wish I was able to turn Matchmaking off. I'd rather solo a strike than carry randoms through it.

2 AntwortenThis guy deserves an award. What system are you on?

1 Antworten[b]WAIT!!![/b] People care about their K/D in PvE?
-
The thing is this is only encouraging people to start a new level of AFK strike, I don't know what even to call this. I have witnessed it once so far but can easily see it become a new thing. This was on the T'aurc strike, all he did was rush past the door, rush past the tank, and afk in one of the hidey holes behind the crates. This can be done in nearly all strikes and prevents people from trying to kill you as it is impossible.

1 AntwortenSometimes you just got to clash of clans while playing destiny...

I once had a strike with some titan guy, who only shot mobs when I looked at him hahah It was hilarious, i had all the time, so i constantly sneaked up behind him and sit down right next to him. After a while he was searching for my character because our radar dots were one! When he found out i waited on him, he began to help with the strike and speed ran a couple of strikes with him. Good times.

U do know someone may have left at the end and someone joined. This has happened to me a couple of times. I search for a strike than as son as I joined they killed the boss
-
[quote]I have nothing better to do but kill your guardian and your KD[/quote] Because people care sooo much about their PvE K/D.

I wouldn't care to kill someone, even if it pisses me off when people just being idle, or even worse leave after completing 85% of the map, because they died and just failed their "stay alive during strike bounty". But what really makes me wonder is the general skill with people doing strikes. 7 out of 10 times I have more kills than the other two guys combined, and many times I have double their combined kills. And I'm the kind of guy that "goes with the flow"... if the other two wishes to rush through a part of the strike, I do the same. If the other two want's to stay and shoot ads that aren't even part of the strike, I'll stay with them and pop some skulls. But nevermind how we do it, in the end those other two randoms, which are same level as me, and got the same weapons, does not seem to know how to kill enemies. And another thing, I'm nothing special. really. I got a positive K/D ratio in the crucible, but nothing to brag about, but how comes I'm not only on top every single strike I do, but I usually outclass my team mates by 100-300% more kills?

that is one of the most frustrating things. i had to take down Aksor by myself.... i get a blue engram.... mr. AFK gets a legendary >:/

Bearbeitet von ARagingNewb: 1/20/2015 8:19:06 PMIkr yesterday I was playing strikes with my friend and this guy joined at the end. He was a lvl 26 in vanguard roc and he stayed there moving and waiting to finish. And when the mission was over he came. Bitches

I make it a point Never to afk in a strike. That being said i will stop and bring up an ammo synth or change a weapin to something that may work better. However i usually state in mic that this is what i am doing. Also i have run into an emergency nature call situation. I let people know that what was what i was doing but they had no comms. I asked them to wait before final assult for me to return. They didn't. When i returned i put the finsl shot into omingal and finishd the strike. They kept shooting at me afterwards. Just make sure you know why people are afk before you judge them. VtxR - PS3
