STOP racing through the Strikes if you actually want Legendary Rewards
It's getting to be a common thing now during the Lvl 24 Strikes that I see these kids race as fast as they can through the Strike usually hopping on their speeder bypassing the first several mobs of lower level enemies which is fine but then they continue on and bypass as many of the Lvl 24 enemies as they can just to get to the final boss quicker.
Why? The boss gives you nothing and your chances of getting anything worthwhile from the end game roll are poor odds for the amount of time it takes to complete each Strike. Your best shot of getting a Legendary Engram drop or at least multiple blue Engrams to give you a chance at Legendary gear and to rank up the Cryptarch is to kill every Lvl 24 enemy up to the boss because that is where all of my Legendary Engrams have come from and I get at least half of my blue Engrams from Mob drops to go along with what I get in the end game roll.
The Lvl 24 Tiger Strikes since the last patch appear to have a higher drop rate than the normal game modes at least in the areas you're facing Lvl 24 enemies, and so bypassing them to finish the Strike faster is just decreasing your chance of getting multiple drops. There's little other reason to be grinding Lvl 24 Strikes in that manner because you can earn Vanguard rep faster farming Patrols, Vanguard Marks faster farming Public Events, and if you need a bunch of Strikes for a Bounty run the Lvl 8 Devil's Lair on Earth and get them done quick.
So don't be that guy that runs way out ahead of everyone else. Don't waste you and your teammates chances for more Legendary/Exotic drops. It doesn't take but an extra 5 minutes or so to clear out all the Lvl 24 enemies your bypassing between you and the Boss when you do it as a group.

16 RepliesYou ain't the boss of me. I'll play how I want. Stop trying to force people to play the way you want them to. Your not king of the realm of Destiny.
-
I agree, it's really annoying when people just run through as fast as possible. I kill every enemy because i try to get motes of light so i get more xp by killing everyone and more drops.
-
2 RepliesDude joins for two minutes while me and another guy, grind through the whole strike. And we get over a 100 kills, he gets 8 and gets a legendary engram. Rushing has nothing to do with it.
-
I mean, the only time I race anything is in Weeklys, but that's because I suck. If you're a 25 or higher, and you're racing past anything lower than you, you're doing it wrong.
-
I dont need legendaries im tryna complete this exotic bounty where I gotta complete 25 strikes for the dam juju
-
Yep agree completely OP
-
I speed to the end for the Reputation and Marks.
-
I haven't played 72 hous and I have picked up two Legendary weapons.... this was before the patch. I just got an exotic weapon bounty and a Legendary heavy weapon post-patch. I kill whatever threatens me. I don't want something taking me out because I didn't think much of it and it got a free shot. Anything could drop anything.
-
I agree, I personally try and take my time to get through the strikes. If my team runs out ahead and skips all the mobs, I just hang back and clear them out.

Edited by sergeantawesome: 10/6/2014 12:04:06 PMI started racing through strikes, and since the update I got 3 legendary engrams. One turned into the MIDA multi tool.
-
I believe it is the Bad Juju bounty causing most of this. It's a common bounty and requires you to do 25 Strikes as part of the objective. Unfortunately you can't solo Strikes, as you're automatically thrown in with other people. Most people who do this bounty, myself included, just want to get the Strikes out of the way. If you want to kill enemies for Legendary items, there are more efficient ways of doing that than fighting enemies and bosses your level.
-
YEAH! And the only way to get good loot in PvP is to play well and get a good K/D!! I'm sick of people playing crap and expecting to get good stuff. [spoiler]No.[/spoiler]
-
I do hate people racing through the strike, skipping all the enemies. However, since the update, I have had 2 legendary and 1 exotic as a post game reward. So not sure if statiscally speaking you are correct.

56 RepliesEdited by GH05T V1P3R: 10/6/2014 4:48:30 AMLet me explain why this is BULLSHIT. Rushing through is how you're gonna get the legendary. You're banking on the end roll. That's why everyone is playing Tiger. Go ahead, tell me that killing the enemies is what's gonna get me the legendary. Go ahead and tell that to the 20 hours and 10,000+ kills since the latest update that have failed to drop even a single legendary. Go ahead and try to convince me that killing the enemies is gonna do anything but waste my time. I swear to God there isn't anything to combat that. 10,000+ kills, no legendary engrams. That's all the proof I need that enemies aren't gonna give me $#!+. 10-15 minutes and then the roll is my only hope since Bungie has decided to make sure that you can't actually enjoy the game, that you have to grind like h€££ if you want something good. 72 hours of gameplay and I still don't have full legendary armor. Argue with me, go ahead. There's not a d@#₦ thing you can say.

5 RepliesThe bosses do drop good stuff now. But also, u can but legendaries from vendors. So race through tiger strikes as quick as possible so u can just buy what you want.
-
8 RepliesI only rush through because I'm doing the bounty for Bad Juju. 25 strikes gets a little monotonous. So I rush through and finish the whole thing in like 10 minutes.
-
1 ReplyHad this today so my frined and i sat down right the credit line and let the jackass do all the work. As for those who use he loot cave as an excusse not to kill thigns in strikes, you might want to learn what team work is and that strikes are not solo mode. So dont be a douche help out or you wil leventually get people who will jsut afk and laugh at you.
-
5 RepliesI don't give two shits about the strike mobs, they rarely drop anything and if I do kill one and miss the drop it will be in my mail. I want the end reward and off to the next end reward. First week or two of the game sure I would stop and smell the virtual roses but after playing every strike for the 100th time all I care about is the end reward.
-
Seems you're the one that wastes everyone's time. RNG has nothing to do with enemy level.
-
Bingo! Finally someone understands loot efficiency in strikes.
-
if you want to kill enemies, go and do patrols. stop wasting the time of people who want to do their strikes fast. (100 vanguard marks for three characters takes long enough anyway)
-
Normally I'd agree. But I have the Bad JuJu bounty so I've been very guilty of this myself lately.
-
RNG. Means doesn't matter what the -blam!- you do or how the -blam!- you play I still have the same chance of gettin shit as you
-
I'll continue to rush by them, and I'll continue to get legendary engrams and even exotics from the end boss. I've gotten Plan C and Hard Light from end boss and also have found blue/legendary engrams in my lost items. I'll continue to do it my way
-
You can't pass the Spawn Restricted areas without killing all the mobs in there. So people are forced to linger there, which is what you want. Also, maybe people are trying to complete a bounty rather than farming for loot. (I've been known to speed thru the first two open areas of the earth strike. Generally, if my two teammates grab their sparrows, I'll follow along, but if it's 1-1, I'll stay with the guy who is shooting.)

Edited by Stenbox: 10/6/2014 9:36:36 AMNo, drop rate has [b]NOTHING[/b] to do with the level of the strike or whether it is a restricted spawn area. It is exactly the same [b]everywhere[/b]! Racing through seems silly at points, but people do it for the end-rewards, which can be Legendaries; and also for the Vanguard marks to get their fate in their own hands and buy the gear they need.
