Bungie: Pls don't ignore the New Light/Veteran Dialogue problem

This was cross-posted to both r/DestinyTheGame & r/DestinyTechSupport for maximum exposure, so that hopefully this can be fixed. As I'm sure some of you know when Beyond Light launched, old players were able to access the New Light questline by picking it up from the Quest Archive in the Tower/Hub. Upon completing the initial questline in the Cosmodrome (where you receive the curated Night Watch), players found out the game for some reason no longer recognizes your past achievements in D2 (it still acknowledges your D1 achievements somewhat) and gives you dialogue of that of a D2 New Light. Specifically changing certain strike dialogue with that of Shaw Han. Now I've read that this was mentioned and fixed in a TWAB, but it goes much more deeper than originally thought. All achievements from Forsaken, BA, JW, and Penumbra (Opulence) seems to have been wiped. I am unable to confirm whether Red War, Undying, Dawn, Worthy, and Arrivals achievements have also been wiped, but it's a possibility. I will now present a list of some things that changes for a Veteran upon picking up/completing either the New Light quest OR the revised Chaperone quest: Warden of Nothing strike: Drifter no longer mentions you're at the Prison of Elders for another dose of revenge after avenging Cayde. Also no longer mentions how the Trickster like to... trick people towards the end of the strike. The Hollowed Lair strike: The Fanatic no longer recognizes you as the one who killed him during the Forsaken campaign. Also no longer mentions the names of the other Barons you've defeated, and doesn't die with the final words of being in a "unending vicious cycle together" at the end of the strike. A Mysterious Disturbance (Shadowkeep's First Mission): Ghost upon seeing the Pyramid no longer recognizes it from the Nine's vision and simply states it doesn't know what it is. (Note: This is the biggest one in my opinion.) The Inverted Spire strike(?): Zavala no longer mention you've killed gods before in the before in the Black Garden upon reaching the outpost next to the drill (Note: This is strange as the statement is D1 reference.) The Exo Memory Bank on Europa/Eternity: Ghost doesn't mention how Cayde could come back, but wouldn't be the same (Another big one). Nightmare Hunts(?): Ghost no longer mention how you've taken down these foes before when they were alive. (Note: This might be a been a first time only thing. Unable to confirm.) There are some other things I that feel could be affected, but needs further testing. I've also tried a number of things that I thought would fix the problem that did not end up working, including: Deleting the New Light supplemental quest from the Quest Tab. Re-playing the entire Forsaken Campaign with a friend, including the initial Dreaming City missions Re-acquiring emblems from collections only possible to earn by completing Legacy/Vaulted content. Equipping vaulted Titles/Seals (in my case Shadow, Cursebreaker, Chronicler, Wayfayer, Dredgen). I feel it has something to do with some Legacy triumphs no longer being visible in the game, and instead pooled into a number, but I'm not a developer so I can't be sure. Like many others I wish I never picked up the quest, but some of us wanted to see how the new experience was, or what Shaw Han was all about, or were playing along with a friend, or wanted the curated Night Watch. I thought the new timeline feature in the directory would fix the problem as it lists all past owned expansions and seasons but no dice. I'm a big fan on continuity and having my character being talked to like a noob is kinda disheartening. I know Bungie has a lot on it's plate, but if this could be fixed before Witch Queen drops (as I'm sure they'll be Veteran Dialogue) I and many others would be very grateful.
