Oh Man!! I just LOVE joining a strike in progress and spawning in at the beginning! I just love pretending to be Forest Gump... running and running and running to catch up to where the action is.
Yes, I actually hate it... spawn us closer to the action.
EDIT: To the comments about waiting to join allies: Yeah, I could do that, but how long I have to wait for that depends on how fast the people ahead of me a going. Also, when I do strikes I actually want to participate in it other than catching up or waiting to join. It's hard to complete bounties (for other than getting completions) if you only get to shoot a few adds before the boss is melted and it gets boring queuing in solo with the PS4 time hack. I just don't see why it's so hard to find a spawn point that is closer to the action? Seems like a reasonable request to me.

it's all about luck :( im sorry your strike experience was ruined but dont let it stop you from having fun
-
Or have morons stop running ahead..
-
When that happens I just hang around until they pull me forward at the boss...check some emails..do some banking...feed the cat.

Part of it is how quickly your machine can load the game. I installed an outboard 2TB SSD on my PS4 pro....and I'm constantly waiting at the beginning of strikes for the rest of the fireteam to load in. Fact is that the game probably DID find a closer spawn point when it tried to make the initial connection to your fireteam, but they moved on and left you further behind while you were trying to load into the instance.
-
Uh use a sparrow to catch up?
-
Anyone else imagine Frank Langella from Cutthroat Island? Anyone? No? Just me? Alright.
-
Here's something they could do...MAKE THE GHOST INTERACTIVE WITH THE GAME SOMEHOW THAT AFFECTS HOW YOU SPAWN!!! Or even control the ghost and where you spawn, but there's a tradeoff of some kind...
-
You can spawn in for Garden World and literally run through empty corridors for 5 mins and never get "joining allies" or catch the other 2 before they get to the boss.

I’ve noticed this happening more and more, wonder what changed.
-
Maybe the Traveler should just be put to it's end by Rasputin and put this whole mess to rest. Then Bungie can begin a brand new IP, roll out the mega hype train, close Luke's contract so he can go work with Blizzard and start building a brand new dumpster fire for someone else.
-
I've notced this pretty frequently over the past few days. My assumption is that people are completing armor objectives and leaving the strike there and then. You see it happen all the time in gambit and EAZ too. Same problems as last year really. Funny that.
-
Yeah it sucks but it beats when doing strikes to have a match made DC standing at the start not doing anything until being spawned into the boss fight
-
😂 I think it's funny how this company went from the first game having all that experience to acting like an amateur company learning how to create a game with this one for 3 years now. There are so many stupid things they have deliberately done wrong with this one that they did better with the first one. I know this company wants to show numbers but this game is way overdone with the nonsense wasting a gamers time playing. I'm glad there are a couple of better games coming out in November because that is where my money is going.

I read that title in Eva Levante's voice. 😂

Go do a lost sector and work on bounties until they pull you thru. Then you’re not fighting your teammates trying to do what you need to do.
-
I hate how you have to wait for someone to load in if they are joining you because it stops what ever you are doing until they load in
-
It's because no ones playing it. And the mm system is as bad as ever. Drops more connections than Boost Mobile

Run, Forest, RUUUUN!!! Lil Jenny

Another flaw to add to the list. Where's my pen ..... ?
-
when that happens i just wait until 'joining.....' i might trot along behind and pick up any scraps left but normally i'll just wait. me an a random 2 manned a strike yesterday and got to the end and player 3 who had been afk at the start ported into the room lol.
-
Why dont you AFK for free loot? Literally wasting time running around
-
Yeah, I posted about that awhile back... 3-4 minutes of running and end up with 4 kills at the end of the strike. I guess I can finish my kill bounties on the next strike then.
-
I love strikes in progress. I'll run to catch up. Less time to completion.
-
Pro tip: go get a drink and wait for them to pull you. Or. Do a lost sector while you wait to be pulled. You know. Rather mindlessly run go a specific spot you'll be automatically pulled to in a few minutes. And then get upset over the conscious decision to do so.
-
Yeah this game really sucks
