Are strikes with people AFK a problem and does it need to be adressed by Bungie.

I agree that Bungie needs to deal with inactive players.

2515

I don't think it's such a problem.

567

I agree and I like the 1st rule.

112

I agree and I like the 2nd rule.

48

I agree and I like both rules.

56

I agree and maybe like some rules or not, but I'd like to suggest a different rule.

Everybody has come across one of these players during a strike, you enter a strike and you start running towards the first objective but you notice that at least one person from your fireteam isn't doing anything. Yeah we're dealing with someone who is AFK and just want to be a leech. Basically people are like to enter a strike, watch tv and enjoy the reqards afterwards when about 15 minutes have passed. Some even take measures to not be disconnected for standing still for to long by holding their thumbstick in an angle so they start walking. I don't mind having one person leave as a new person can join halfway the strike, the thing I'm personally anoyed by are these leeches. Bungie needs to think of something that will deal with these people such as adding a rule that will make that person actively take part in the strike. Rules such as: 1st rule: You need to be inside the boss room at the end within a certain amount of time when 1 or both other fireteam members enter this room or you will be kicked. Basically like adding a 6 minute timer when the first person enters and change it to 3 minutes when the second person enters the room. 2nd rule: You need to do at least x amount of damage in the strike or you won't receive any rewards. (People who enter midgame have to do less amount of damage). Everyone should be able to achieve this certain amount of damage even if they've never gotten a kill in that strike. As a part of the fireteam you need to be doing your part by adsisiting the other two guardians. Some people may say that deaths will decrease the possibility to achieve that score since you're out of the game, but then that means you're not actively taking part in your fire team and merely acting as a lone wolf. It's the risk you take. I hope I get positive reactions and that people agree that Bungie needs to deal with this.

  • What u find a problem is having to 2 man it so that a third joins right before we finish the boss. I mean come on. There are so many people probably doing the dragon strikes list.

    • For the most part, it's not a problem. We are taking about 5% of the community here. For the most part if somebody doesn't want to play, they go to orbit at spawn, or they come in about half way through the first wave battle, and then play for the rest of the strike. Sadly your best option is to report them as being unhelpful. If enough players report someone for being unhelpful, eventually Bungie will investigate and slap them with a temporary ban.

    • Its being address in TTK/Update. All strikes, Nightfall and Weeklies all players will be teleported into the fight if afk for a small amount of time. Like as in PoE.

        • I did it sometimes while grinding but it was only in like 5 strikes out of 300. If you was in my fireteam, I'm sorry for that, don't be mad. [spoiler]I think for the fact, OP was in my fireteam at some point, I think, I saw his Gamertag. [/spoiler]

        • Too bad Deej and Cozmo don't play this game and they don't pay attention to the forums. If there was a live stream where someone did this them maybe then they would actually give a shit about it.

              • Right now it doesn't matter because they are so easy but after TKK the strikes are supposed to be more complex so it will be a problem. [spoiler]yes I saw satire [/spoiler]

              • Was doing the Devils lair strike the other day and had a player go AFK for the whole strike and try to run through and get a few shots on the boss for the bounty. Unfortunately for them me and the other player knew what they where trying so we black hammered sepkis before they could make it into the room. By the time they arrived all they saw was me and the other guardian dancing lol Hopefully this time round they ban the afk's from strikes for good. Seems the temp one done nothing to deter them.

              • One guy did that in the Value Ta'aruc (misspelled?) strike. He waited until right before the boss to show up. So I messaged my other teammate and made a plan. When the afk guardian popped his Defender bubble, I rocketed inside, this killing us. We then went to orbit and left him to solo it. Though we didn't finish, it was worth it to hear the guy's angry responses in my messages (apparently I screwed up his 9000 Kills without dyibg bouty, lol)

                • I'll either sit down beside them or dance until the either start playing or leave. I had this happen once and it lasted nearly twenty minutes before the other member started to play. I wish Bungie would give you the option to opt out of matchmaking.

                  • With people CONSTANTLY afk. Like games after games afk. Sometimes people do have to go afk for important reasons, you never know. Such as the other day, my girlfriend came home from a jog around our neighborhood and she had an asthma attack. I had to bail in the middle of a PoE 28. and just today, one of my friend had to leave in the middle of a nightfall for a fire call, he works at his local fire department and had to leave right away. You shouldn't punish people for such thing. However you should be punished for being afk 7 games in a row.

                      • I will sit my happy butt down until they get booted to orbit. If they see me doing it and report me for inactivity before leaving, whatever, I reported them first. I don't grind strikes to carry anyone's lazy butt. Either help the team out or gtfo.

                      • The GameInformer article about TTK says Bungie will be implementing something like the PoE mechanic where if you try to stay behind you'll get warped to the front lines. It doesn't say how this will work specifically but anything would be good.

                        • The 17% who said it isn't a problem are obviously the AFKers. Screw them and their free ride. My rule would be if they haven't progressed into the next section of the map within 2mins of the rest of their team they get kicked.
