There needs to be something put in place in regards to the people who load up Strikes but don’t actively participate in them.
You know what I’m talking about. The ones who will go off and do something other than the actual Strike, or the ones who will just sit around doing nothing while they wait for you to do the work for them. It’s been a problem since the early days of D1, and frankly, I thinks it’s only been getting worse in recent times.
Something needs to be done about this. It’s no fun being forced to carry someone through a Strike. If I wanted to do a Strike solo, if either go into a Nightfall by myself or ask for a solo Strike playlist.
Block off all areas during a Strike other than the places you were meant to go. Have certain objectives related to the Strike that you absolutely must complete in order to stay in it. Have a system where if a player has been reported as “inactive” a certain amount of times, they will be temporarily suspended from any Strike activity for a few hours. Just do something to get people to participate in the Strike.

I do agree, but another problem is people rush without concern for the rest of the team. If the loot isn't as important, why rush to the boss. There would be less problems if people communicated in the strikes to figure out what they want to do. People treat it as a solo activity, so they go and do whatever they want. I myself try to be a team player in strikes, I think this is a reminder that we should all try to be better team players regardless of what bounties we have. I do think it is scummy to fulfill bounties and leave mid-strike. At the same time it gives people more freedom to kill more enemies sure, it is still something we should try to do less of. I am always willing to help a player achieve what they are working on, as long as they are willing to do the same.

You mean something like optional matchmaking might fix? 🤔

14 RepliesI'll be the first to admit, i do it. I do it because i need bounties done and im tired of racing teammates and fighting my own teammates for Ad kills for my bounties. Do i feel bad about it? yes i absolutely do but since i cant que up a strike solo like D1 this is my alternative. Why would i go through 3 strikes to finish bounties when i can finish in 1 farming lost sectors? Like i said, im guilty, im sorry but the way the devs have made this game, it kinda forces my hand to spend an hour doing something i dont wanna do alternatively. Just like how disgusted with myself i felt about iron banner 2 weeks ago literally camping heavy ammo and not playing the objective for that stupid quest step.

1 ReplyYou’d get really mad with me then because as soon as my bounties are done I don’t even finish the strike lol my ass returning to orbit 😂

Agreed or some people (like virtually everyone replying to this thread) need to learn to put together groups or use lfg so they aren't bothering people grinding strikes. Alternatively they can also do most bounties in normal nightfalls by themselves

5 RepliesMove forward in the strike and it drags them forward, or you can team wipe for the same effect.

2 RepliesWell, don’t blame the players - blame the stupid Vanguard strike bounty requirements that pretty much necessitate this. It’s no different with Gambit or Crucible, either (forcing players to perform specific actions to redeem bounties and bright dust).

6 RepliesHonestly I don't see this a lot lately. It was epidemic last spring maybe but not so much lately. But then again when you go to check a random YouTube "how to get XXX fast" video involving getting kills in a strike, the advice is always "farm a lost sector in the strike". A simple fix would be that only kills in scoring areas count. They already have the distinction in the game, in Nightfalls the score multiplier is zero while you're still in the public areas. And don't give completion/end rewards unless you manage to at least do some damage against strike enemies... Though I don't think anyone is really playing regular strikes for the end chest anymore, maybe somebody is just racking up completions. However, whatever the system it should not penalize late joiners. It's not their fault they were pulled in to fill a vacancy.

8 RepliesHere’s a suggestion. Wipe at death zones or quit playing Strikes. I run across maybe 1 person for every 50 strikes who is either AFK or doing other stuff within strike. Don’t come in here and complain about the state of strikes when there is nothing wrong with them in the first place.

Doing stirike is nothing usefull just get power item. I’m finish doing regular strike 😀
