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?

Actually this is common though. It happens on alot of games e.g Battlefield, stats arnt carried

RIP, I guess my beta guardian suffered the same fate as the other guardian on the moon.

Awh, I was actually a highish level. Pretty disappointing, but I suppose I can work my way back up.

I have something else to work on now. :P

I knew this would happen but it disappoints me a bit. I wasn't too high of a level though so it doesn't really matter

KixaPosted:

Doesn't matter to me since i only played the beta twice.

I'm totally down with this. I figured it was going to happen anyway. Will be kind of fun getting back up there again. I do wonder if it will take a bit longer to level up though. Game seems pretty small if not.

blondejohn So, uh, what was the **** point of earning the special iron banner legendary unlocks like the ship or the guns?! what was the **** point?!


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



Ok, tired of morons telling me the only point of a beta is to test. Yes, that is correct. But holding special unlocks and limited edition stuff like the beta emblem are not in any definition, a "test". How bout you people use your brains. It's like entering a sweepstakes and winning the grand prize. You'd be happy right? Then they tell you, "Hey, we know you won and all, but we were just testing to see how many people would enter, so **** you and whatever you won." You don't give people special, one-time only things and then take them away.


The items earned in the beta weren't one-time things. Only the Emblem for playing Moon.
As for people excpecting to keep their items, Bungie said they weren't sure if they would allow full transfer over. It's not our fault you went and spent hours on Iron Banner to get high lvl gear you can't even use in the beta.

As for your comment on the sweepstakes bit..That's just stupid. If they were going to have something like that, it'd tell you it was just a test. Then, knowing what it is, you wouldn't expect to keep the prize. It's all common sense.

Jealous Why are you people complaining? - I myself spent roughly 10-20 hours on it not expecting to keep my character.. who cares? You should NEVER expect to keep your characters/data from a "BETA"


I think more people are upset that they lost their vault items(including myself), especially their legendary gear. There were a lot of people who put a lot of time into playing the iron banner events so they could get legendary gear that they couldn't use in the beta but were told they would have in the full game. It is actually pretty irritating knowing I put all that extra time into the beta just to get some legendary gear for the full game...

Actually more disappointed that the vaults are empty. Losing characters was inevitable.
