So apparently Bungie tried to patch the Archon Priest Strike in 1.1.2 without telling anyone and did it poorly. You can no longer snipe from above the Vex Waves spawn half way through the strike at all without risk of breaking the whole strike. I had read that you couldn't use the highest rock anymore so I wasn't even that far away. I was sniping from where you shoot the 4 goblins right when you first enter the area. I made it to the second wave just fine and then everything de-spawned and I had to go re-engage the door. [b]After killing the first wave a second time nothing else spawned and I couldn't re-engage the door, I had to just go back to orbit.[/b]
Just trying to make some other people aware so others don't have to waste their time like I did. After some more research a decent way around this is to just leave one enemy and run down there to kill it then sprint back up to the top.
UPDATE: (Thanks beedel): "This is unintentional" per bungie: [url]https://twitter.com/bungie/status/590576802713706496[/url]
Edit - added bold and attempted to clarify what is broken.
-
dictating how people should play a game is a great way to get them to leave >_>
-
Yeh, wonder why they never mentioned this in the patch notes, naughty bungie!

My 4th time trying nightfall. Bungie once again can't update without problems. I lost all respect for bungie
-
That moment when it was never a cheese. It was nothing but a mere strategy. And hey, I still get one-shot from up there by the hobbies, so it's not like they can't shoot you at all.
-
I ran it on all my characters sniping from rocks and had no problems.
-
Anybody have issues when staying just above the hobgoblin cave? This is where I usually hang out on nightfalls.
-
Just go down to the rock just before the narrow bridge. Take out Hobgoblins first. Easy.

Edited by Boltarok: 4/21/2015 5:34:31 PMI opened the door and go to the sniper spot, I killed the first wave and no 2nd wave spawned, but I have to go to open the door again and same happened (it's nice spot to farm glimmer), then I noticed that if u leave 2 vex and go down to kill them, the second wave spawn and u can run to the rock and continue sniping.. I play from PS3
-
"Broken" in this post being synonymous with "had a cheese removed."
-
It's faster to go down anyway.
-
No problems running all 3 hunters thru 3 nightfalls and 3 weeklys except for lack luster rewards
-
patching the cheese spots isn't breaking it...
-
So many people crying today over not being able to eat cheese. Fat fu.cks.
-
Happened to me too. Had to go back to orbit and restart. No big deal though
-
This is stupid, lets ruin snipers yay!
-
How close do you have to be to door for the last kill of each round? I'm thinking playing weekly heroic with randoms will be a pain when they don't know why the mobs despawn and you have to re dinklebot. Especially with no in game indication why..
-
Super duper fail...we need a spy inside bungie...maybe that's the only way to get info...the American way...lol no hate intended...
-
Why even include a range stat on snipers if they're gonna make all combat zones so damn small that even the shortest ranged snipers can deal full damage across the map? It already feels like 80% of engagments are within 20m, and they're gonna cut down on long ranged combat even more? Just buff enemy firing range or something.
-
Take out your fatebringer. Kill stuff. Easy
-
Just ran it twice and some guy stayed up top and I was worried about this issue. Figured they didn't hear about. But it went as normal, maybe they didn't have the final shot.
-
The -blam!- you talking about? I just ran 2 Nightfalls with all of us sniping from the top rock and nothing des pawned
-
Just done it twice, one on top rock overwatch sniping and two on bridge with no problems
-
It happened to me and I was down next to the hobgoblin spawn. One of our guys was at the top and we couldn't continue. I don't even use that lame spot and I got punished for it. Had to go to orbit and restart
-
You can still snipe them all but 1.Just go down at the bridge and kill the last enemy,and the new wave will spawn.
-
I guess Bungie never heard of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
