Bungie heeft officieel laten weten dat de gemaakte progressie in Destiny niet mee te nemen zal zijn naar Destiny 2. Je kunt alleen het ras, klasse en uiterlijk van je personage mee nemen naar het vervolg. Dit omdat de je gaar, wapens en items niet beschikbaar zijn in het vervolg. In een blogpost legt Bungie uit waarom de ontwikkelaar tot deze beslissing is gekomen.
Sequels represent the start of a new adventure for every player, with new worlds to explore, new stories to tell, new powers to acquire, new loot to earn, and much more. This led us to a decision that would enable us to serve both the game and the player’s best interests: Destiny 1 power, possessions, and Eververse-related items and currency will not carry forward. They will, however, remain accessible to you in Destiny 1.
We know that, just like us, you have grown fond of the Guardians you’ve created, so we do plan to preserve your character personalization. We are going to recognize the dedication and passion you’ve shown for this world. Specifically, the class, race, gender, face, hair, and marking selections for all characters that have achieved Level 20 and completed the Black Garden story mission will carry forward. We also plan to award those veteran accounts with honors that reflect your Destiny 1 accomplishments.
We believe this is the best path forward. It allows us to introduce the major advancements and improvements that all of us expect from a sequel, ensuring it will be the best game we can create, unencumbered by the past. We’re looking forward to sharing more details with you later this year for how we will honor your legacy in the future.
