Ever since the early days of the first Destiny, fans have been begging Bungie to add in features like an in-game looking for group (LFG) system along with a loadout system. As part of the big Bungie livestream focused on Destiny 2: Lightfall, the game's next major expansion, Bungie announced that both of these much-requested features are finally being added to the game.
In Destiny 2, there are a number of activities that do not have matchmaking. These are typically reserved for the game's more challenging content like the six-person Raids, but some of the harder three-person content also lacked matchmaking. To form groups with others, assuming you didn't have enough friends to fill a team, you are limited to third-party solutions like dedicated Destiny 2 LFG Discord servers. There was a team finder feature in the Destiny 2 mobile app but I don't know a single person that used that to find groups.
In Lightfall, Bungie will allow players to seek out others using various pre-determined tags. Each group looks like it will include a little area where you can manually input a title that briefly explains whatever specifics you want to include.
This LFG feature is being accompanied by a new Guardian Commendation system. This will let you rate other players after finishing an activity together. This will allow players to quickly see if you are a good person to have on the team, or if you are a good leader.
Bungie is also adding in the ability to quickly swap between multiple loadouts, another feature that has been highly requested by the community. In addition, Bungie will have a new mod menu that will let players change all their mods at once and should make creating multiple loadouts quite a bit easier.
In an effort to make Destiny easier to access for new players, Bungie is introducing what they're calling Guardian Ranks.
The path to becoming a legend is not easy, and sometimes, a little bit of guidance is required. So let us introduce you to the Guardian Ranks, a reputation system that will not only help new players find their way into the game, but also reward veterans for helping others and for being an all-around exceptional player.
