Shortly before the launch of the Prestige Raid in Destiny 2, Bungie announces a postponement via tweet. The reason is a glitch in the final boss fight.
Update: The Prestige Raid is live! In the guide, we show you how it works.
In the weekly update from Bungie, both the new Iron Banner of Destiny 2 and the Prestige Raid were announced for this week. The Prestige Raid will take place entirely at the maximum power level and will bring minor changes to the mechanics.
However, nothing will come of it today, on October 10th. Because Bungie has now indicated in a tweet that the release of the Prestige Raid will be postponed to Wednesday, October 18th, 2017, at 7 PM German time.
The reason is an unspecified issue that Bungie needs to address. Community Manager Cozmo speaks of an exploit that allows players to bypass the challenge in encounters.
The likelihood is high that this is the glitch during the boss fight that keeps the throne room empty except for Calus himself.
Even though the glitch was found before the weekly update, Bungie has not officially commented on it – until now.
Bungie emphasizes that it wants to crown the “World First” for the Prestige Raid again – that is, to announce the fireteam that can defeat the Prestige Raid first. It should be fair so that there are no doubts about the suitability of the world’s first Guardians who defeat Calus at power level 300.
The reactions from the community are mixed. Many “Guardians” ignore the announcement and continue to elaborate on the “Friendgame instead of Endgame” topic. Other players see two advantages in this. On the one hand, they can fully focus on the Iron Banner this week, and on the other hand, the majority of the community wishes for a flawless gaming experience.
Do you welcome the postponement of the Prestige Raid? Will you use the time to grind the Iron Banner?
