If it deletes my characters I won't buy it. I went from 2007 to 2014 not owning a console. I played Halo for maybe 4 hours once in that time span. That's after gaming since the mid 80's. Then In Jan of 2016 I bought destiny. Taken King was already out and I had a ton of content all at once. It Destiny 2 doesn't delete characters from D1, then I'll prob just wait a year or 2 before I buy it.

Naw, I don't mind mind to start over. But I saw on interview that Bungie will take Destiny 2 on PC only to create more map space.

I almost didnt buy Rise of iron because im tired of bungies half assed approach to this game. Let us carry over our character to destiny 2, it cant be that difficult to rework the engine/gameplay and still implement the previous inventory. In theory somewhere in that office someone has been working on this "10 year plan" to solve problems just like that.

Nope. I probably wouldn't. That would be one major promise broken too many. If I wanted to invest in a game where I had to restart every iteration I'd stick with COD or Mass Effect. A huge part of the promise and draw for Destiny is that our Guardians are OURS and will follow us through the ten-year life of the game.

I want destiny 2 to be a completely different game with completely new content with no gear from the first. It sounds crazy, but I think it's what destiny needs.

I'm really glad there starting over. What's the point in re skinning old content over and over. Who cares about your old toons when there's new ones to be leveled...

Of course we'll start over. Hopefully there will be more options for character creation. As far as bringing weapons over...don't mind that either. Our old guardians could become the new advisors. Each player sees their old characters. That would be cool.

For those who say your progress should carry over, name me 10 games that have had a Sequel (not expansion or DLC) which allowed a complete carry over. If there are 10 big name games that can be listed, then you have a point.

Who cares?

Destiny should be brought into being what it should've been from the beginning; a full fledged mmofpsrpg. As it stands, it is a half assed, episodic, "shared world" game that's trying to be too many things at once, without full assing any single area. Make it a true mmo. We have the option to keep the original incarnation of our chars, which gives a sense of personal continuity. While much of our gear would invariably become obsolete, there are ways to find middle ground, as Destiny lends itself towards amassing equipment of all types and isn't your classic mmorpg or shooter. [u]Holding onto your favorite armor[/u]: Easy. Give us a wardrobe system. Done and done. [u]Holding onto your favorite weapons[/u]: More complicated. This requires the devs to achieve a truer platform of balance, so that with additional arms of different behaviours being added into the game (along with finite storage space), they only need to modify certain values to maintain said standard of balance. Use a "wyr" system, which is a form of socket system. This allows you to affix little items with certain stat values to your weapons. Think of it as a more intelligent, modular system of "infusion". There's more to it but, that's the gist. Your finite amount of wyr and vault space will help mitigate how many weapons you can keep relevant at any one time. This also allows them avenues into various player driven content through customization, making it so your gear becomes more personal and versatile. The devs, in turn, feel less of a need to implement a new series of mostly the same, reskinned weapons every year, allowing them to devote their resources and efforts in other areas. There is obviously much more that could or should be done in the future. Though, this would begin to tackle a few specific issues that many players have and I believe it would be a solid way to move foward. More options, not less.
