Guided Games
Bungie’s social lead M.E. Chung took to the stage during Destiny 2’s gameplay reveal yesterday to talk about the community. Over the course of almost three years, the Destiny community has grown to become one of the most dedicated out there. However, Bungie is well aware that there were still many who didn’t find their place in the world. That’s where Guided Games comes in.
Only fifty percent of people who reached the level cap in Destiny completed a Raid, and that’s a figure Bungie wants to ensure is way higher this time around. Guided Games seeks to bring even more people into the community. The feature allows solo players to join up with a clan to fill a vacant spot in a Raid, Strike, or Nightfall. Both the clan and the solo player can accept or decline one another, too, allowing both parties to veto one another until the perfect match is found.
Considering Raids are such a significant part of the Destiny experience, making the matchmaking system more personal and streamlined makes experiencing them far more enticing. Additionally, it gives newcomers the opportunity to meet and interact with members of the community they otherwise wouldn’t, and we all know playing Destiny was way more enjoyable with company.
