This isn't a nightfall. You don't have to stand on the rocks. The ones that are on the top of the area where the 3 waves of [b]vex[/b] spawn on the Archon Priest [b]strike[/b] when you're opening the door near the beginning. I understand you're JUST NOW getting an icebreaker, but please.. Just don't.
[spoiler]EDIT: Apparently this post was unclear to a few. I don't care if you have icebreaker, I don't care if you bought it, I don't care if you use it. However I do care if you sit at the back of the map sniping off goblins, getting essentially no kills leaving me to do 90% of the work. That's leeching off of me, and is not a play style. I think the icebreaker is great, and I use it for a few things.. But this isn't a nightfall. You're not going to die instantly, and you don't have to stand on that diagonal rock at the back of the 3 wave area on the Archon Priest strike about 1000 meters away, or whatever it is doing nothing for anyone.
EDIT 2: APPARENTLY IT IS STILL UNCLEAR TO ABOUT 2/3 OF THIS FORUM WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT, SO I AM NOW TYPING IN CAPS TO GET THE ATTENTION OF YOUR PRIMITIVE MINDS. READ THROUGH THE POST THOROUGHLY AND HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT I AM SAYING BEFORE COMMENTING ASININE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE A TOOL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME M8S.
EDIT 3: [b]SINCE PEOPLE WILL INEVITABLY MISINTERPRET MY POSTS IN THE FUTURE, I HAVE A VIDEO FOR YOU. THINK ON IT. MEDITATE ON IT. CONSIDER IT DEEP DOWN INSIDE THE PITS OF YOUR PITCH BLACK IGNORANT SOUL.[/b] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAKG-kbKeIo
EDIT 4: Bolded words were edited in for the special flowers of this thread who needed a little extra help.
EDIT 5: After about a day of this thread being out I remembered the name of the strike. It's called Winters Run. Hallelujah.
EDIT 6: Now that this thread has gone on for a few days and it has played out to my amusement, I will inform everyone that this does slightly bother me, but it doesn't matter to me all that much and I felt like getting a rise out of some people. It was fun everyone, now like it up because we're almost at 100 likes :D[/spoiler]

I have the Ice Breaker, I got it Friday evening. I already have 1632 kills with it and have it maxed out. It's a great gun, it's meant to be used....
-
Just read full post. That's actually a great snipe spot...
-
If you don't like it leave. People are free to play however they like and might need practice or want to level it
-
I like running with snipers! They watch my back and make sure no enemies sneak up on me:)
-
Dude I hear ya... But running roc strikes is a great way to level up a gun if you've done all your bounties. It won't last, they'll get bored with it and go back trying to melee everything in no time ;)

-
I don't give a damn how my fireteam plays as long as we finish the strike efficiently. They could be sniping from the rocks or from 10 feet away. As long as he dies I'm good.
-
I snipe from up top all day long. The practice help my aim improve when shooting at moving targets.
-
I think sniping parts like that are ok, if they also have a scout to continue dps. A long range style is a viable one. You just need to keep dps up with scouts. I play that way sometimes.
-
Eh, I've had ib for a long, long time and I like sitting on those rocks and picking things off. I tend to get more kills that way.
-
Let people play how they want
-
Had Icebreaker for a couple months, only equip it when needed, ie night falls, tank on valus, portions of VoG... but you should practice with it, ROC strikes are a good spot to do so.
-
Primitive mind... Isn't that on Mars in story mode? #rocksniperonarchoncozichooseto
-
Let people have fun with the icebreaker. All I did when I got it was stay back and snipe for a while, it was great to use a weapon I've been wanting for so long - of course I'm going to use it, and especially how a sniper is supposed to be used. If you're trying to rush or on a time crunch, I'd suggest doing something like crucible instead.
-
lol your mad
-
I've read all your edits and still can't figure out why you're angry.
-
they can snipe all day as long as they aren't afk.
-
This is annoying, you are correct. This is why you do not run the strike playlists with randoms.
-
I know what you mean people treat every strike like a nightfall I usually use new guns and dance for rng
-
You failed
-
After reading all of your edits... I will play how I want to play, and if you dont like it... Well if you dont like it... Who effing cares? Who are you anyway? Oh that is right... Nobody!! I normally run up and auto rifle everything.. But after acquiring the Icebreaker, I do set back occasionally and snipe things for practice.. Granted they have to be more than a normal mob.. something that benefits from a one shot snipe... But I really dont care about your opinion.. Why did I respond? I have 40 min left at work and am bored... So I decided to go read some idiocy on the forums!
-
You're an idiot if you run around on the ground during this part. Also a liability to your fireteam. Hopefully nobody revives you every time you did down there.
-
The strikes go by so much quicker. Like...really much quicker

Edited by Acidity: 1/19/2015 9:54:29 PMPeople can do what the f*ck they want. I'm better than you in every god damn way. How many raids have you done? Do you have every exotic? Have you done over 1,000 strikes? F*ck off kid and leave the new comers alone before you get sh*t on
-
So what if they do.
-
I would have to disagree with you on this one. I say play the game how you want to play. Don't expect randoms to play it like you do. On a side note I've had an Icebreaker for a little over a month and I never use it on this strike. I was using a Longbow Syn. w/void for the Vex portion but got a LDR/void last week so I've been using it. Void damage snipers eat those minotaurs up. When I get to the Archon Priest I switch to P&T. Just easier to pickup ammo than it is to wait for the ammo to build back up.
