Do you want to know what the Destiny 2 LFG system is? Destiny 2’s new player experience has always been a bit rough, with heaps to do and very little explanation, most new players are kept in the dark about what to do or where to go. This problem is made even worse by the fact that most Destiny 2 activities are done with a fire team of up to 3 or 6, meaning without friends, new players tend to just wander around aimlessly without any clue of what to do. Fortunately, Bungie is looking to change up the matchmaking experience for players with the release of Lightfall. 

Destiny 2 Lightfall: LFG Feature Explained

With the showcase for Lightfall, Bungie announced a new Looking For Group feature that’d arrive with the expansion. This feature will allow players to post up on a forum-like system to ask for other players to join them. We’ve had this for a while in Destiny in the form of 3rd party applications like Discord, having this feature in-game is a huge quality of life improvement for the game. All in all this feature should help players gather together to tackle some of Destiny 2’s hardest content.

Alongside an LFG system, Destiny 2 will be releasing a player commendation system to increase interaction between players as well as player customizability. This system will allow for players to commend other Guardians they interacted with during activity and award them based on how they performed. All these commendations will be displayed on your player profile for others to see. So make sure you’re not a toxic Guardian!

Destiny 2 Lightfall: Guardian Ranks Explained

This announcement comes with a slew of new changes to improve player experience such as Guardian Ranks, which is a new system to display player prowess by their accomplishments in Destiny 2. This system will help differentiate new players from more veteran ones, which should better represent a player's skill level to others. There are a total of 11 ranks at the current moment, each of which will require the player to do various activities as well as interact with other players. Only the best guardians will reach the highest tiers.
