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.
-
Ran the nightfall solo earlier and had zero problems. I'm glad Bungie is fixing an unintentional bug, but good lord. You guys having issues must be running MILES away from the action.
-
They reduced the cheese
-
It was broken for me too but it was fixed once we got closer to the enemies spawn points
-
Wasn't broken for me...

Never had a need to snipe from up there. Stupid. Nightfall or not. Don't be a skered. My condolences to those that don't have a pair of big boy pants to put on during one of the easiest strikes there is. #hideundertheplatform #theypatchedthat #icanstillgetunder #youreatoolbagsteve #thenillstandontheledgefromfaraway #werenolongerfriendsnow

I ran into this issue as well trying to snipe from the skiff area on the weekly.

Honestly I don't know why Bungie cares so much about how people use their own tactics. I for one, I go down to the fight and have fun like that. But I understand others like to use a sniper tactic. I hate when bungie says, "that's not the way it was intended". So this means people can't have fun with their game? The game they paid real money for to relax and have fun. Come on Bungie, stop dictating the way players play and let shit be for god sake. Again, I like to play my way, and my way is to go and fight the enemy. I like to stay close and that's my fun. But I totally understand that other human beings with their own way of thinking like to have fun using other tactics. I really don't care what others do. I have my fun my way and if others like to do things different it's their problem not mine. If players want to "cheese" why would anybody care? I certainly doesn't affect me directly or indirectly. I could care less. I love to form the bridge on CE raid but others don't because they're lazy and all...who cares? I don't. Besides, nothing in this game is about earning or deserving. Everyone thinking otherwise including Bungie...are missing the point. Video games are all about FUN! It's not about "the way intended". Seriously this shit is getting old man. Bungie the Dictators....the Fidel Castros or Hitlers of video games. Let players play the way they wish and the way they created to play their game. Not everyone does this anyways. I play "the way it was intended"...so what? Big deal... Not everyone doesn't play the way intended Bungie...not all. So get over it and let people play their game that they paid for. Stop patching nonsense.

Nothing is broken. Quit playing like scrubs!
-
So what you're saying is...you were scared..decided to run away...and the game stuck your nose in your puddle of urine and made you fight? Not sure what's broken here....
-
Finished three within an hour. No issues.
-
I did the NF 5 times today and didn't have a problem. How? I don't play lame and actually go down and face my enemy.
-
Green Acres is the place to be. Farm living is the life for me.
-
Happened to me, and I use it to farm glimmer haha, just leave 2-1 vex and go down to kill it and 2nd wave spawn
-
Didn't happen to me
-
Did the nightfall twice today and had no problems.
-
Glad I have no need to play the game. Have all... And all 32.
-
What are y'all scared of a tiny vex only a hobgoblin can 1 shot you

Edited by Diamond D Nice: 4/22/2015 1:26:25 AMthat's so weird. because i had to do multiple waves too. I thought maybe i was dreaming and just missed it. Like someone had to go trigger the door again. Then the fireteam leader went to orbit midway through. No idea why. he wouldn't respond or talk so i left the group. Then the second time today destiny disconnected me. lame.
-
I had this happen to me. Had to kill 15 vex..... so sad
-
Fine for me
