I open by announcing that a full Destiny 1 conversion into Destiny 2 on PC has been demonstrated, and I subsequently examine Embark Studios’ recent PvE‑only test for Arc Raiders, which exposed both pronounced player enthusiasm and significant griefing problems. I report that the Destiny port footage indicates promising performance on contemporary GPUs and that modders have prepared native conversion packages to facilitate integration, though the work is not yet a finished, playable release. I describe how Embark’s temporary PvE toggle—deployed to accommodate time‑constrained, casual players—immediately revealed exploitative behaviors such as door‑blocking, loot‑snatching, and intentional down‑player camping, issues that undermine cooperative play in the absence of PvP repercussions. I note that player counts spiked substantially while the mode was available, which demonstrates clear market demand, but I also caution that unresolved griefing could prompt developers to abandon the permanent implementation unless mitigations are enacted. I advocate for pragmatic solutions we discussed on the show—automatic dislodging mechanics to prevent physical blocking, loot assignment to key holders or equitable sharing logic, and proximity‑based disabling or redirection of disruptive utility items—which I believe would preserve the mode’s appeal while curbing abuse. I conclude by expressing our collective hope that Embark will heed the telemetry and community feedback, implement sensible fixes, and offer players an enduring choice between PvE and mixed‑mode experiences.
What’s up Guardians, and welcome to the newly branded Guardian Down Roundtable! We’ve spent nearly seven years as the Guardian Down Cast show focusing on Destiny, but now we’re taking a more broad overview of the entire gaming hobby. Every week, my co-host Mr. Kingsleymac and I sit down with two rotating guest hosts to tackle topics of discussion—covering everything from the gaming industry and tech to social media…or whatever our guest co-hosts have on their mind. Our mission is simple: To create a dialogue with topics/news that impact our gaming hobby…all while keeping the focus on our community.
We go live every other Thursday at 9 PM Eastern on my ToddtheGatr YouTube and Twitch channels, as well as our Discord Live Stage. We are a live video show with an audio version available every Monday morning. We love the live shows but we love interacting with the live chat even more, so jump in, give us your input!
