3 Dumb Reasons Why The Beta Shouldnt Transfer (imo)
I personally would rather not have a wipe but if it happens it happens and its whatever but the 3 dumbest reason for why the beta should wipe that I keep hearing are just annoying, her me out.
1-First Day OP- This one is highly stupid considering the fact that everyone one is just worried about getting stomped in the Crucible when over half the community I can guarantee just want to play the actual game explore and grind for gear. Plus you are straight delusional if you don't think dudes are gonna get the game at midnight go home hit lvl 8 in 4 hours or just play all night getting to lvl 14 to roll you in the Crucible at 3 in the afternoon the next day.
2-Its Not Fair For People That Didn't Play The Beta- No its not fair you want Bobby over heres lvl 12 AR to get wiped just cause you couldn't find a way to put down 5 bucks on a game in a years time, plus once again you can get to a decent lvl to hang in the Crucible in all of 4-5 hours get over it.
3-It Ruins The Story Experience- Lmao no it doesn't if you cant remember in a month that your first run of missions led up to the defeat of a giant eyeball named Sepiks Prime than you have issues. I personally will no doubt be able to jump right back in to where I left off if the beta carries over and be happy I didnt have to spend 5 hours doing something I've already done and just immerse myself into gear hunting.
These are 3 dumb reasons I keep hearing, in conclusion either way I'm stoked for the game and really happy with how the beta feels and how fun it is, if it carries over that would be great if it doesn't I'll get over it for sure cause its no big deal but at least come up with better reasons for why it should.
EDIT
Ok so people just don't fully read and cant realize I am honestly not for or against a wipe. Either way I'm gonna play this great game and be happy. I'm just arguing my point against the 3 dumbest reasons why it should wipe in this post, so please quit with the personal attacks with the stand point of "OP wants a Transfer' I know damn well the chances of a wipe are 98% I'm just asking for people to stop regurgitating the same 3 damn reasons. [b][/b]

I am kind of on the side that they should wipe it. Clean slate for launch and we really have not done that much.

6 RepliesEveryone that is asking for stuff to carry over to release needs to take a step back. (and their heads about out of their asses). A [i]beta[/i] is NOT an Early Access or Trial version of the final game. You are NOT entitled to keep anything acquired during a beta because the purpose of a beta is to help the developer test a feature-complete version of the game that may or may not need large-scale testing that a developer cannot do on its own. Bungie is under no obligations to even offer a beta to us (or anyone). It's a privilege first and foremost, and we should be grateful for the opportunity to help shape the game in a meaningful way. Everyone that is complaining about the lack of content or not being able to keep stuff that have acquired are simply the epitome of spoiled, self-entitlement.
-
dude, im with you. they dont have to carry over everything, but equipment would be nice. but its pointless as you cant use it till you get to that level, so i would say bring it all. its all cloud based anyway, so its not hard for Bungie.
-
The beta is open to everyone so why not let us keep it .... even if a person only played the beta for a day hell still be where we are in 3-4 hours .... its not a closed beta anymore, so how would we have a head start or would it be unfair to anyone when they have a chance to play the game without even having to preorder
-
I agree I mean I only played for like 6 hours and I am a level 8, and have completed all the missions
-
Nice to know that the Destiny community has a solid fan base that will support both the title & the developers which has enthralled us all!
-
These reasons are so dumb lol. Anyone couldve pre ordered and gotten beta access. you didnt even have to put money down if you preordered on amazon. secondly, the beta is now open to all via in console download. so the whole theyve got an advantage thing is garbage. you already pointed out the other two. I really want to keep my progress, especially the two amazing blue weapon and armor items ive found (cant use but hey!) but if it does wipe i wont cry about it (much) and am still going to play this game. the great graphics, controls, and story so far are just that. GREAT! its really nice to know there are still companies out there who will put out such an amazing product and truelly care about their gamers.
-
Love this, you spoke my mind

Edited by iMoonchildi: 7/25/2014 7:19:46 PMCompletely agree! It takes us hours to farm for our good weapons and equipment its not like its easy and you don't get matched up with people on a higher level then you anyways so the complaints don't make sense But I wouldn't be surprised or mad at all its just a beta not the actual game but those reasons are still dumb.

2 RepliesI think they should let you keep whatever you put in your vault and then wipe everything else

Edited by Forky: 7/25/2014 8:06:27 PMI'm too exhausted to write a coherent response so I'll do bullet points and you can guess at what I mean. 1. Vanguard Armory Useless 2. Story missions might Change 3. Skip Old Russia Altogether 4. Old Russia Explore might change 5. Collectibles might change location/amount
-
I don't want the beta to carry over. I'd like a fresh start. Like that song from the Peppers- Snow- A fresh start so we can reflect on the beta:)
-
1 ReplyI remember playing the Reach beta and reaching the cap only to start fresh when the game shipped and being completely ok with that. Just being able to play the beta meant I gained the experience of knowing how the mechanics worked and how to work as a team. I really see this time as a privilege while I find others to see it as a right. You are getting so much game experience, it is advantageous enough.
-
Hit it right on the head, man
-
I think it should be wiped cause a lot of stuff will be different for example they might change the opening a bit, or add something new, etc. but i do think that you should get something out of the beta when the full game is released.
-
2 RepliesWell I would mind the option but I would start fresh just because I want to feel like its a new game.
-
bro, its not bungie's fault for people not downloading the game when they released it to the public for a couple days. most people won't be playing crucible when they first start. when i started the beta i knew how to play cause its as simple as any other game. personally it doesn't matter if noobs get trashed in the game cause its they're first time playing. its called learn how to play before you play pvp. i got my ass kicked in pvp a lot but then i got better. now i drop 30+ kills and less then 6 death with out camping, don't believe me? add me on pan @worldz_hpn0tiks and play a couple games with me. for all i say is that people get better playing a new game over time . I'm just saying, so don't get mad.
-
Whatever option they pick , it will be fun.
-
I have been in a lot of Beta's and not a single one has let us keep the stuff we have worked so hard to get. We have all had everything wiped back to the start. Clean slate, we usually get something cool for beta testing in the real game like Bungie is doing with Destiny but that is all! Bring on the reset!
-
1 ReplyI hope they don't because i have a legendary weapon i wanna try out even if it is just a pistol
-
3 RepliesIf you can name a single game that let progress transfer from the BETA (not early access, they're different things) to release, I'll lobby with you to get it to transfer.
-
Was a character wipe confirmed already? I believe they only talked about the emblem carrying over.
-
2 RepliesEdited by SoloPopo: 7/26/2014 3:05:54 AMOur Beta characters will most likely be wiped for the same reason our alpha characters were wiped. The game isn't going to be the same thing when it's released, and many weapons/items will be tweaked. I absolutely do not think our characters should transfer. I do however think we should be given some kind of recognition for our alpha/beta performance.
-
should* transfer?
-
I think iron banner stuff should transfer nothing else in my opinion
-
Betas are just tests it is extremely rare you will keep anything from a beta... it's just the nature of the beast! Also technically this could be a standalone build which ultimately wont be compatible with the complete product which I believe is probably the case since Bungie calls it a beta build an awful lot and also they don't want to put a lot out there for data miners to find.
