Destiny: beta characters won’t transfer to full game

4.5
C’mon, now. You knew they were going to wipe it.

Bungie’s confirmed the awful, inevitable truth: none of your Destiny beta characters or stats will transfer over into the full game.

The developer admitted in this update that “our beta characters won’t transfer to the final version of Destiny. The vaults have been cleaned out, too.”

Bungie designer Tyson Green added: “Since the beta, we’ve continued to tune and adjust the game. The way you earn experience has been adjusted up and down a bunch of times. Items have been added and removed. New features toggled. Although there’s no single monumental change, the sum of the tweaks leaves characters from the beta build in strange shape that would be confusing at best, broken at worst.”

But this is the last time your avatar’s going to get retired. “On September 9, you can create a Guardian who will keep you company for a good, long time,” the update continued.

“On a long-enough timeline, you might decide to delete him or her and start over again – but that will be your call to make.”

The news will rankle some. Bungie said this week that no major gameplay changes had been made since the beta.

Still. Nearly there. Which version are you planning to pick up?

Smurfs I wish they would've announced this during the beta because I could've saved a lot of time by not farming Glimmer so much. I honestly thought that they would transfer over since they made it an open beta.


Same i heard nothing of this until now really

Pryzel Kind of a bummer for people who played it alot...


I agree, time wasted and yet nothing to show for it. Always seems a little pointless :/

I think it should carry on. Although it's still i trial i still think the amount of effort you put into it, you should at least keep everything :/

GILFPosted:

you're characters should never carry over in a beta game, because after all it is only a trial of the game

I'm glad they don't transfer. If you are upset, then you clearly don't understand the point of a beta. Its not just to play the game early, but to find bugs and stress test servers.

That's a minor bummer but now I know what the best weapon is for the early levels. :)

Potion Shouldn't really be that big of a deal I mean it was only 8 levels I don't mind doing them again.


you have to include the long missions you had to do to play online.

There wasn't any besides testing out the game. That is the point of a beta.
