Destiny is coming to an end to give way to the upcoming sequel, and Bungie is revealing how it\u2019s planning to proceed.<\/p>\n

Your Destiny character will survive the transition to Destiny 2, but Bungie revealed that none of your loot will make the jump. That\u2019s right \u2014 you\u2019ll leave your precious Gjallarhorn behind when you move on to the sequel. In a blog post<\/a>\u00a0today, Bungie explained that it understands that fans have an intense fondness for their Guardian characters, and so it was a priority to preserve them in the new game. But some players may find it disappointing that their progress isn\u2019t getting the same treatment.<\/p>\n

But the developer explained that it wanted to take this opportunity to start fresh, which is similar to how something like the Diablo franchise (which has a lot of the same kinds of loot-collecting mechanics) does it.<\/p>\n

\u201cSequels 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,\u201d the Bungie team wrote in its blog. \u201cThis led us to a decision that would enable us to serve both the game and the player\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

In order to ensure your Guardians makes the transition, you\u2019ll have to get it to level 20 and complete the Black Garden mission. If you do, you\u2019ll get honors in Destiny 2 that reflect your original Destiny accomplishments.<\/p>\n

Resetting Destiny 2 like this does serve one important purpose, though: It makes me want to give the game a chance. I didn\u2019t play a lot of Destiny because I didn\u2019t like it, but I wish I did. With Destiny 2, I\u2019ll get another chance to make a connection, but I probably wouldn\u2019t if the game made me feel like I was hundreds of hours behind everyone else\u00a0even on day one. And the whole point of a sequel \u2014 at least when it comes to video games \u2014 is to expand the audience. Anything that might limit the appeal of something like Destiny 2 has to go, and the first game\u2019s loot is likely a casualty of that arithmetic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
