Destiny 2: Google is to blame for the fact that you will soon have to play yourself as the final boss again

Thanks to a helpful keeper, players in Destiny 2 can still get the most important checkpoints from all raids and dungeons for free and conveniently. But that will soon be over. Due to the imminent end of Google Stadia, this community service will also die. Now the Destiny community is desperate for solutions.

What will the players soon have to do without? In the coming months, Destiny 2 will lose what is probably its most practical community service, which the streamer “Luckstruck9” provides free of charge to all players every week.

The guardian, also known as the “Checkpoint Guy”, had the clever idea of ​​sharing all the most important end boss stages of all raids and dungeons with you and thus became a community hero.

Its convenient free offer saved many guardians from having to play themselves every week in the important core activities to the final boss and thus to the top loot. Because not everyone always had the opportunity to get to all checkpoints. However, thanks to Luckstruck9, that option was there.

Therefore the service is discontinued: Luckstruck9 has a total of 11 Stadia accounts in order to be able to offer this unique service. But that is exactly the biggest problem now, because Google will officially end its game streaming project Stadia in January 2023 and so far without replacement. If no replacement can be found, this is the death knell for the practical free checkpoints in Destiny 2.

The community is already looking for solutions: Luckstruck9 already announced on Twitter that he would like the free service via his Discord server can still offer until January 18, 2023. But how things will continue after that is uncertain. Mainly because Google Stadia was the best solution, both in terms of power consumption and the necessary resources.

Until then, with the help of the community, he wants to find new methods to continue offering the checkpoint service.

These options are currently available:

• One suggestion would be the Nvidia GeForce Now cloud. However, the problem here is that the free version only allows a one-hour session and the premium version is also limited to six hours.
• The second option would be a high-end PC or server with virtual machines to handle the many game instances. But also here are as the Checkpoint Guy announced, the biggest obstacles to this are the acquisition of hardware, the setup and the high maintenance costs. Players also pointed out that technically this VM option could also result in a ban from Bungie.
• The ideal solution, as Luckstruck9 points out, would likely be a collaborative community collaboration, with many players keeping the service alive via AFK accounts.

This is how Luckstruck9 explains via Twitter:

Community-based checkpoints are one of the easiest solutions, provided people can get comfortable with the system. Currently my Discord bot allows people to use /AddAFKAccount to indicate that they have their account AFK in a checkpoint that people can grab.

How about you? Have you already used Luckstruck9’s free offer? Or would you rather play yourselves as the final boss and would therefore not use such an offer at all? Please let us know what you think about the value of surviving this convenience feature in Destiny 2 and whether you would support it yourself.

There is currently another challenge taking place in the “Königsfall” raid that can give you some extra loot quickly and easily:
