Just finished playing some strikes from the Roc playlist and was amazed at the number of players cheesing certain sections.
[i]Archon Priest[/i]
Players sniping from the cliff or on the ketch while clearing the 3 waves of vex.
Players sniping the boss from up on the cliff.
[i]Nexus[/i]
Players staying up on the ledge or in the cheesing spot during the boss fight.
[i]Phogoth[/i]
Players sniping from the shrieker room, never really being able to contribute seeing as how the rest of us have him aggro'd down the other end of the room.
Why do people do this? Is it laziness, or just old-fashioned scrubbery? Funnily enough, these players usually finished with less than half as many kills, yet were consistently awarded the best loot.
"Oh look, you got 33 kills, have a Mida Multi Tool".
"What's that, sir? You were dead most of the strike? Legendary Engram".
*Shakes fist at sky* "Curse you RNG! Curse you.

Edited by zxcxcvz: 3/19/2015 12:38:56 AMI can't seem to really understand the purpose of this thread. Are you mad at people sitting on a cliff and sniping or shotting from far away? Or are you upset with this game's garbage RNG? I'll answer both. 1. I sit on the cliff and snipe shit and shoot shit, I end up with the most kills 80% of the time, I always focus snipers to keep my team alive, that's why people do that, unless they're shitty, then message them and explain your feelings on why they suck. Or just call them a asshat, up to you. Sitting on a cliff and not jumping around like an idiot [b]is not cheesing[/b], that's like getting mad and calling someone a camper in Battlefield when they are sniping. Though, I do agree that sniping from the shreiker room on Phogoth when it's only RoC is pretty meaningless and wastes time and is just unenjoyable, but Archon Priest, using cliffs to snipe enemies and shoot them from afar is most definitely not cheesing. 2. If you play this game knowing it's RNG is obnoxious, then it's your fault for playing the game. You might as well get the mentality that everyone will get exotics except you, be pessimistic with the rewards system so you do not get annoyed with the conclusion of a nightfall.
