So Guided Games will be rolled out as “limited-access ‘soft beta'”, with only a few solo players able to access it on September 12. Grabbed the following from 24/7:
“For Guided Games to have a successful launch, we need time for enough players to form into real Clans and be ready to guide other Guardians,” Bungie explained. “If there are too many solo Seekers and not enough Clan Guides, the queues for matching will be quite long.”
The soft beta will let them increase the number of players in Guided Games throughout September, as Clans establish and grow bigger. During this period, all Clans will be able to lend a hand to solo players, so check the dates and times for the beta and full launch of the feature below. Although Bungie hasn’t specified a timezone, I’m guessing they’re using PT as they normally so, and have worked out the corresponding timezones based on that.
Nightfall Guided Games Beta:
- September 12th, 10AM PT/ 1PM ET/ 6PM BST
- 30-50% of players will be given seeker access, depending on clan participation in Destiny 2 during the first week
Nightfall and Raid Guided Games:
- September 26th, 10AM PT/ 1PM ET/ 6PM BST
- Target: 100% of players will be given seeker access
So based on this it sounds like we just play as normal under the Clan tag in the first week and then we'll get to make ourselves available to help solo players on the Nightfall. It would be ideal as many people as possible to do so as that's what this game is all about. Helping others and completing more activities.
If others then want to join us, then that becomes an added bonus.
Sound like a plan?
