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?

Madcat807 i put 40HRS plus in that beta **** YOU BUNGIE!!!!


I completely laughed at this - Why waste so much time if you knew it was a "BETA"

You've gotta be pretty dumb to think you could've kept your characters.

GossipPosted:

I played until like level 3 then I remembered that it was a beta and that they were probably gonna reset everything. Im not bothered.

You knew that this was going to happen. It is a beta.

All betas do this. It would ruin the game for everyone else if they let the stats you earned in the beta stick.


Completely agree, it would give people a slightly better advantage when the game comes out.


Yeah and if that happened, so many people would be angry


I agree, so many people would be annoyed! and they would just complain.

TasksPosted:

I actually wanted the characters to NOT transfer as it would give out a huge disadvantage.

-Swift Good. PSN players had an extra week to get to level 8.

The playing field will be level. even though it does not matter.


It matters to a lot of people and I like that they're doing it.

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


Exactly! This isn't anything new, I can't think of any beta I played and my stats carried over to the actual game. I guess for now on, betas should have a message before you even play stating that your stats won't carry over to the actual game. It's almost like you have to a label saying "Do not drink" onto a Windex bottle... Ok bad example, but you get my point.


The gears of war judgement beta carried stats over, that's the only one I played that I can think of




Judgment sucked though. Worst Gears they had, campaign was kinda nice, but too easy to 1 man insane/hardcore it.


Halo Reach had stats carry over. I remember the beta being max rank at Lt. Colonel and then when you actually played the game you would be like 3-5 ranks higher. That was a game made by Bungie :c


Not true. I actually played the BETA and on day one launch, I was level 1 :)
Look it up.
