x/post from /r/DestinyTheGame [Rant] Why the f**k is it still possible to be afk during entire Strikes???

[quote]Seriously, why hasn't anything been done about this yet? Afk in the Crucible results in a kick after a couple of seconds, while People can be afk in Strikes for all of eternity...[/quote] https://dm.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/5pvqof/rant_why_the_fk_is_it_still_possible_to_be_afk/

  • Did you run a head and take all the heavy ammo? Most of the time I get ***more mad when I get matched with a bad ass guardian and they freaking massacre everything in site, before you reload. Honestly for most strikes, if you get 2 decent guardians it can be the most fun. Either way I wish you had more control over match making. Sometimes it fun to go with newer players and some times it better to be with old dogs that know how to make orbs and use heavy, etc. Either way if your un-happy about something it's better just to leave and re-join. The game should be about having fun help supporting the team not trying to run people over with your sparrow.

  • I could care less. Not like the strike will take more than 10 minutes.

    • When an AFK decides to finally join the strike. I chase him around punching him until I die. Once I respawn or am revived I continue doing this. He usually gets the hint and leaves. I then complete the strike. For you noobs and casuals don't AFK or expect a punch in the face.

      • Yea they should make it the same time as the crucible, I love people's excuses about one manning it too. It's not that I can't one man it. I just don't want to do your work for you..

      • I constantly report for inactivity. Usually takes 3-5 as long as you're progressing and you get your buddy to report as well.

        • I'm on an AFK protest. I will not play Destiny until trump is out of the whitehouse. So in my protest, I AFK strikes to anger other people because I know nothing will happen to me other then getting sparrow smacked.

        • I ended up with two afks a while back on saber. I don't like that strike enough or care enough to solo it, also I'm petty af. So I pushed them both off the cliff into the water with my sparrow. I then nudged them far enough to get the out of bounds timer. They died, and I revived them over and over again while sniping some fallen just to pass the time. Eventually they both bailed and I got some decent, non afk teammates. Well worth the time wasted imo.

        • 'Strikes' as an activity has to be one of the most boring things to do in Destiny. I'll admit that the recent changes and additions to some strikes have been good, but running strikes is just awful. If I do more than 2 I'm ready for something else. 😷

          • Yeah I ended up with one of those guys last night, luckily the other random was a good player and we didn't have any trouble but it was still annoying. Not that anyone should have trouble with strikes just that I don't like wasting unnecessary time in them

          • Afk's have small hands. So carry on... What's the biggest problem i'd say, is when a guardian keeps on dying(Being a tool) and still expects the other guardians to revive them(him or her). Pro Guardian: 0 deaths Apprentice Guardian: 2 deaths max Roookie guardian: 2-4 deaths Tool Guardian: 4-7 deaths, dies right at the start, tries to kill other guardians with their sparrow, shoots at bosses with a sidearm, and usually wears bright shaders...

              • I played a game of rumble last night and one guy was afk every time I saw him. But what do I care its a free kill so go afk all you want. Strikes are easy enough to do with two or solo.

              • How about people who run and hide in PoE? Not afk, but deliberately running into the arena and hiding behind and under things. I've never encountered this on PS4, but whilst running my new Xbox One Warlock through PoE for the exotic there was a person who did exactly that... I finished with a 192.0 k/d and he finished with a 1.0.... How the hell do you get 1.0 in PoE? FarrmarkPrime is my new Xbox account in case anyone wants to look at the stats.

                  • It's funny how Bungie keeps coming up with ways to promote Strikes, yet don't do anything about AFKers, which is why people stopped running them in the first place.

                  • i once saw one person AFK during archon priest strike so i pushed him off the map and he was in an area where once you are revived you fall to your death i feel like his PVE KD is laughable now

                  • I've been in strikes where people r afk the whole strike, I do all the work then when the boss is about to die he magically starts moving and gets free drops. I fukking hate these people. Now if it happens , I just sit down , dance at the boss and let them do it themselves. Maybe a teabag if they die. Get trolled Afk scrubs, I'm not doing all the work. I can understand going afk for a minute or two to get a drink, or a bathroom break. That's fine, but if your afk for like 20 minutes it should kick u. Fix your game bungie

                    • So hypothetically what would stop RNG for making the NightFalls or Heroic strikes on refresh day always be solar. For example last week heroic strikes where arc burn. This week they are arc burn again. What would stop it from being arc burn for a 3rd time if Bungie can't predict or control the ever illusive RNG?
