WARNING - Archon Priest Strike Broken After Patch 1.1.2
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.
-
Fine for me

5 RepliesIt's a bug that they don't let you cheese from the top? Just jump down a little further and you're fine.

5 RepliesI made a video on how to solve the problem! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsvNFhdh-ow

3 RepliesWell ya know, you could actually turn this into a glimmer farm and make Bungie regret it. Lol
-
This happened to me while soloing it. I activated the door, ran up to the top rocks, killed everything and was quickly prompted to re activate the door. I did this three times for personal clarification that I wasn't high.
-
Confirmed. Just happened to me whilst soloing it.
-
It's probably not broken, just trying to prevent people from standing up top and sniping, avoiding all danger.

I encountered this doing the nightfall by myself earlier today. Didn't know about it until it happened after the first wave Fwiw, the second time I started it I just left a goblin alive after snipe/gjallarhorning from the rocks then ran down and killed the last enemy and it spawned the next wave Next wave, same thing. Left one alive, went down and killed it, and it proceeded normally
-
5 RepliesLol at all the people commenting things like "OMG this is so easy I solo it no problem." But really they never soloed it and it took well over an hour. You know who you are and should be ashamed to come here and just lie. [spoiler]i know some people do solo it no problem and are just assholes and like to make others feel bad by posting it here[/spoiler]

1 ReplyI just did the nightfall 4 times & the weekly 3 times & none of the stuff you said happened.... [spoiler]is my game broken? :-([/spoiler]

2 RepliesEdited by Allah: 4/21/2015 11:27:57 PMI'm normally a very rational.person but I for one am about god damn tired of some worthless fah-king gaming company lying to me. This just miraculously happened without Bungie's knowledge or effort? They insult us by thinking we are this naive. I love this game but if Bungie tried to ninja buff a strike and EPICLY FAILED then own it you Seattle sissy boys. Unbelievably rude....

2 RepliesIt's not [i]broken[/i]. It's just made so you can't just hide in a corner with your ice breaker picking off a few vex

1 ReplyYou can't snipe them anymore keep about 5 weak enemies. You can snipe everything but the last few and you'll be fine.
-
It worked 2 out of 3 for my team.
-
4 RepliesI've been doing this bit the exact same way since launch and it has always been far easier than the way you describe. Plus it still works with zero issues. Jump up the rocks to the left of the cave that three Hobgoblins spawn from during the second wave. Job done.
-
Worked fine for my fireteam.

4 Replies1000!

3 RepliesUm, it's working fine for me...

2 RepliesI don't always snipe in this level, but when I did I always enjoyed it. It seems like this portion was made to snipe. This was one of my favorite battles because you could actually arrange your fireteam to more or less triangulate fire from 3 different vantage points. Not anymore. There's so many different things they need to fix, yet they do this one. Let the hobgoblin snipers return fire! That's not a crazy idea. Why is their range so limited? It really boggles my mind that they did this.
-
2 RepliesOMG just leave a damn Goblin standing before finishing the wave, then kill it and go back up, on the third go crazy as it doesn't reset after you are done. How the hell did most not figure this out.
-
1 ReplyYeah. Just leave a cheap Goblin alive and run down there and kill him... then get your ass back up there. I'm glad I read similar posts. Soloed it in one try. So thx to you and others out there for spreading the word.
-
I had the mobs glitch to before the small bridge, other than that it's working fine.

Hot new video of the glitch [spoiler] https://youtu.be/kdOPBP9vuZA [/spoiler]

5 RepliesThis strike isn't even hard! You seriously need to snipe from the highest rocks? Bad players are just bad. Have to cheese everything, why are you even playing if not to challenge yourself? How can anyone feel any sort of accomplishment this way?
