Using VPN, and potential ban
for those who live in sanctioned countries, we have to use a VPN otherwise we won't be able to play D2, how will this affect us?

The reason this works is because some raid encounters (Bosses usually) are not entirely included with the Destiny install, some assets are loaded from Bungie's game support servers. This ironically was probably done to stop people hacking the game and cheating raid bosses yet left them open to network manipulation.

It won’t as long as you don’t talk about it. There’s no way for Bungie to confirm that you’re on one as long as you don’t tell people or brag about using one That’s why the streamer got a warning; he was saying out loud he was turning it on for that encounter, and somehow gained an advantage from it. Idk what he used in the vpns settings but a normal Vpn doesnt give you netlimiting connections, a vpn just “changes your ip” You could netlimit even your own connection through router settings im sure, not really sure why its specifically tied to a vpn like some people think.

I think you can't ban it because it is a totally legit way to access a game for some. Curious if Bungie can fix the issue of what makes that make the game easier... (not a legal expert) If that is not in the TOS something legally before-hand.. all VPN users could class-action Bungie over it. -
It won't.

1 ReplyThere's a difference between using one and blatantly turning it on and off during encounters to manipulate the game.
