If you join in a strike, stick with your team
If you start a strike, heroic or regular, you get matched into a team. And being a team means working together, not repeatedly trying to run past all the enemies while the other two work their way through them, and dying, leaving the other two to kill all the enemies while you wait to respawn
Seriously, i've had 5 strikes today where someone kept trying the "mad dash" tactic. If you're there at the start of the strike, you shouldn't be ending it with less than 30 kills while i've got over 170
(Edit: the point i'm trying to say here is pull your weight, and work with your team. Don't be some idiot that runs off by themselves, dies without even reaching the next checkpoint, waits to revive, and then repeats that process multiple times in a single strike. It's basically the equivalent of sitting in the back doing a dance emote while the other 2 players are killing their way through

4 Replies"But I'm tired of grinding!" they say. "I'm just trying to speed it up!" they say. "It's more efficient!" they say. If the whole point of skipping enemies is to speed up the strike then [i]how come none of these morons can actually survive long enough to reach the next checkpoint and ACTUALLY speed it up?![/i]

14 RepliesEdited by zNapSack: 7/15/2018 5:50:21 AMWell I'll be! Somebody who understands! What you said is a pet peeve of mine. I can't count the number of times someone or a pair has run ahead and left either myself or the two us behind. They don't seem to grasp the fact that one player, if they're in the lead, can run past the enemies fairly easily. Although what they don't seem to know or worse, seem to care about, is that anyone behind them has a good chance of getting hosed since the enemies are now fully alerted and have assumed a defensive posture. There's no prize for being the first one to the final encounter. You're not going to get an award for being first. And no one cares how fast you can run the entire length of a Infinite Forest strike for example. I can almost hear them muttering to themselves "Damn I'm good! Left those n00bs in the dust!! But screw them. As long as I get there first, I win!!" So please, don't do that! Don't be 'That Guy'.

Thank you! I'm glad that others feel this way. I hate being rushed through a Strike.
-
Would that be when the third person joined . That you were already at 170 kills .
-
If you die every 2 seconds or you’re below 300 light, for the love of god, leave

5 RepliesLiterally 90% of the strikes have objectives that don’t need all the enemies dead. Why would I bother doing that when I’ve already done the strike at least 100 times? There’s no replay ability in any of the strikes, they are boring as -blam!-, I don’t need to kill everything, the boss is the main objective, everything else you can do without killing enemies. For example - the Osiris strikes; running through an area that I don’t need to kill anything in and quickly get to the actual strike vs killing everything and adding up to 10 minutes onto the strike. I’m obviously going to choose the first option

3 RepliesEdited by bhdreams1996: 7/15/2018 10:23:43 AM1. Run past them. There is no point in fighting against the enemies. Just wasting time. 2. If you are 2 it's still easy as F to beat the enemies. Even alone 3. If 1 person runs through and gets to the boss. You spawn there and you finish the strike faster. 4. Stop crying for once and watch your own ass. You can only complain for no -blam!-ing reason. Complain about bungie because you have every right and reason to. But complaining about a person which doesn't want to be 30 minutes in a strike because of scrubs isn't complain worthy. If you want to kill every enemy 1 by 1 get yourself 2 friends and enjoy 50 minutes of a strike. Edit* i run almost past the entire strike and I'm still the one with the most kills, so there's that.

1 ReplyWhy spend 25 mins on a strike that takes 10?
-
1 Replywhats the point of playing through the entire strike properly when the loot waiting at the end is the same lackluster crap every time? I'd rather get my shitty stuff fast than have to spend 15 unnecessary minutes shooting things to get the same loot
-
4 RepliesI totally agree. My team should stick by my side while I speed run through the strike for the 37th time today. I know all the right places to use a super to cut down the ad waves ASAP, all the ways to melt each boss, so the team should stop lagging behind, and stick with me while I speedrun it and we get our rewards in about 8 minutes.
-
2 RepliesOr since the rewards are a f—-ing joke I’m going to get through this boring copy paste run as fast as possible to take care of that milestone. Don’t tell me how to play the game.
-
I'm sorry, but the strikes in this game are @ss. Not fun at all. And if I'm doing them it's for the sole purpose of just getting them done. I [i][b]will[/b][/i] run through it as quickly as possible and skip as much of it as I possibly can, because they're boring and tedious. So uh...yeah, hopefully we won't get teamed up any time soon. [spoiler]Cuz I do what I want![/spoiler]
-
15 RepliesYeah no. This post won’t change player style. Plus kills don’t mean anything. What people like you don’t understand that killing the strike boss is the only thing that matters. Sure you’ve got to kill a little on the way but don’t blame us because we know more than you.
-
Come on, unless you're on a fire team running strikes, there is no team play in strikes, random matches in strikes means everyone for themselves. Stuff like that happens all the time, I've been on some where a player/s will wait at the start, do nothing, then catch up at the last minute. I won't revive either type, just play at my own pace. They do get boring I understand that and why ppl rush, but if you rush and die, not my problem , the same if you're a puss and waiting for others to clear the area before you catch up. I will revive at the boss only. What it comes down to is playing at your own pace.
-
I care more about finishing the strike ASAP than having 170 kills
-
I do both, but what annoys me is when people rush ahead on certain strikes and pull you into the boss fight, like on Tree of Possibilities, and the boss is already there by the time you spawn in and you cant one phase him, or he is standing on the platform in the second room and you get insta killed straight away, then the rushers get pissy
-
This might be a wrong place to share this kind of information... Maybe a psychiatrist...?
-
1 ReplyIf it’s the Mercury strikes then it’s a mad dash cause -blam!- that infinite forest
-
The part I find annoying is that these idiots try to run through, then they always die. They either cause a wipe or leave the other two behind to repeatedly wipe because the adds are overwhelming. It's annoying.
-
Edited by UNDEAD10000: 7/15/2018 12:32:48 PMThere is no point to rant about speed runners when almost everyone only wants rush through everything these days. And that is also main reason why i hate doing strikes because i'm not good at speed running and i do strikes only for weekly milestones.
-
With the modifiers it makes more sense to stick with your teammates and clear adds, especially blackout, grounded and glass. I don’t get mad at those that speed run it though, they can play it however they want.
-
13 RepliesGamers have completely forgotten how to have fun with their games. Whether it’s rushers, online cheaters & meta slaves, gamers nowadays have shown that all they care about now is winning, even if it’s at other people’s expense.
-
lol I’m not waiting on you to both kill that meaningless cabal for millionth time.... You’re both getting pulled ahead!
-
But what do you want me 2 do when I join a strike which I just played 75% of the time?
-
46 RepliesEdited by qryph: 7/15/2018 12:59:54 AMWhen i get to the boss, suicide and pull u thru to the boss, saving you 20 mins, just say thanx
-
Some strikes you can easily skip paat areas while some you can't. The xol strike at the start i always skip through and i always end up wiping the team because everyone is lingering behind and get killed.
