[quote]We have resolved an issue that caused numerous Bungie Name changes on August 13.
All players have received an additional name change token to update their names, if so desired.
Please make sure to follow our [url=https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/7648312251284-Bungie-Name-Guide]Bungie Name Guide[/url] to avoid future changes.

[b]Previous Updates[/b]
UPDATE 8/27
[spoiler]We're trending towards solutions for the name change issue that players experienced a few weeks ago.
We're addressing an issue with our name filter in the next few days.
Once the issue is resolved, we'll be issuing one name change token to all players.
Stay tuned for updates.[/spoiler]
UPDATE 8/16
[spoiler]Hi everyone. To clarify what is being shared here, it's not possible for us to simply click a button to undo name changes; that is a tool that has never existed. This is why we will be offering a name change token once we solve the underlying issues.
The vast majority of the names that were changed were in error and will be able to be used again. Only the most egregious names probably won't be able to used (i.e. a name that would go against our Community Code of Conduct).
We understand this has been frustrating, and we're working to get things out the door as quickly as possible.[/spoiler]
UPDATE 8/14
[spoiler][/b]From our [url=https://x.com/Destiny2Team/status/1823863324746113061]@Destiny2Team account[/url]:
We have identified the issue that was forcing a high number of Bungie name changes. We have applied a server-side change to prevent the issue from impacting accounts moving forward.
Furthermore, we are continuing to investigate options to address player accounts that were impacted. This will take some time, as our path forward will be dependent on fixing the underlying issue.
[b]Please note the following[/b]:
1. It is not possible to revert this name change.
2. We are planning to distribute name change tokens to all players at a later date to address this issue.
More information will be provided to you when there is more to share.[/spoiler]

1 ReplyEdited by AdikDarkCero: 10/8/2024 5:50:07 PM@BNGHelp6 When are we going to get our names back? How am I supposed to participate in the streamer events you want to organize when I'm currently nameless, and so are many of viewers too. Maybe delegate a few people to read the forum and manually restore players their names since you have no way of fixing this globally. These are not big numbers, but you have to take responsibility for mistakes and fix them.

1 ReplyHey, at least they tweeted about it again guys 👍 Why was my name banned in the first place? I've been stuck as Guardian4107 for 2 months now. If Farr is fine and Mark is fine, why the hell is Farrmark not allowed? Come on guys, it's been long enough, sort out this bloody situation 🙄

Some of my friends have lost their usernames to this issue and they are still unable to reclaim them. It's been nearly two months since they were erroneously condemned to play without a recognizable name. They haven't been able to use the tokens that were issued to reclaim their old names, either. Their preferred names are not offensive by any standard. If it's a difficult problem to fix, I understand and respect the effort involved. Acknowledgement that the issue has persisted would be a sufficient step toward ameliorating the harm.

No new updates? Bungie if you're done with this ""Issue"" and checking it off as ""Fixed"" then say this, say that the community in this post have to move on or accept that their original name was against code of conduct and they should choose a new identity. Tell them that they got away with using 7+ years of name misconduct and that they are all wrong. Tell them that the issue with token can be resolved with a better gaming chair. (no bungie mentors, I don't need assistance in name token, they simply dont work/save the name). We remember people, their names not their positions. We dont remember just MR.President, we don't remember the janitor as the janitor, we dont just know guardians as guardian####. They are family and friends and their identity is important. Don't say "The vast majority of the names that were changed were in error and will be able to be used again." when my BFFs name still cant be changed back to her original OR to a similar one cus the token doesnt work. Ever did a raid or activity with everyone named gaurdian####? Give them their names back as you said they could have back!

This issue is still not resolved? The new chapter is next week. Please fix it.
-
This still isn't fixed and it's causing sooo much frustration from devoted players who've spent so much money on this game. Make this fix a priority and help my friends get their decade-old names back!
-
Bungie please properly fix this issue. A name change token isn’t going to give back the name many have had for years! It has been too long for this “issue” to still be a thing.
-
It's almost as if a database script could be run that manually changes the names back to the original names... But surely that's just too complicated for Bungie.... In all seriousness, it is absolutely baffling that there was a "fix", but then a name change token was just handed out (that didn't really work either), and yet despite the numerous LOYAL MONEY-SPENDING fans Destiny has accrued claiming the issue STILL isn't fixed, they're getting dismissed because the problem was "solved" (even though there are clearly very many people who are saying it wasn't!!) [b]Do better. Wouldn't want the already suffering player base to tank more[/b]
-
Wooow! This is STILL NOT FIXED!?!? I think this GLITCH has gone on long enough! Give these people their gamertags back!
-
Please fix this issue already!!
-
Please please please! Help my friends get their 10+ old names back! This is their Destiny identity! Players who’ve had their names since D1! Honor them by giving their identities back!!!!
-
Two months and no real fix...
-
2 RepliesI would love to be able to change my name... I also hate these "Mentor" replies that aren't giving real answers or help. We need the dev to actually do something to fix the problem. I have tried so many different names but nothing is sticking... I was MajorClay for 10 YEARS.... Its my handle on everything.. Bungie I just want my name back
-
No .. "All guardians" did not receive a name change token. I know this because I never received a name change token. I'd love to no longer be an f-ing anonymous BS name but .. Nope.
-
Edited by AdikDarkCero: 9/27/2024 12:29:56 PMAlmost two months since they can't fix the problem... how long will we be deprived of our names... It looks like "here you have a token, change your nickname to something else, and we don't care about your old nickname - problem solved."
-
This is beyond absurd..Cmon Bungie, your doing so much- Yet seemingly absolutely nothing about this, you DO realise this is, and has, cost you players, right? Thought that type of thing might've mattered to you

1 ReplyStill broken

1 ReplyWhen will we have the fix. Any half decent dev team would have already fixed it.
-
1 ReplySo either I didn't get a name change token or I'm having some kind of issue.
-
I have had this name for my entire Destiny career and probably would have continue to use it without issue but Bungie made a mistake and won't let me keep my identity. How is that fair? I have four accounts linked to my Bungie account and all of them suggest the name (LilBone64) but won't let me use it. If I can't use it then don't suggest it. It doesn't even tell me whether or not the name can be used.

2 RepliesStill not working. I've tried changing my name and I get "You can only change your Bungie Name one time.". I haven't had the chance to change my name back to PicklePixs. I've posted 5 times in this forum, politely requesting that this issue gets fixed or provide a name change token but 6 weeks on, and I'm still lumbered with Guardian5780. Please, please, please, please provide me with a name token so I can revert my name back to my GamerTag that I've been using on Destiny for the past 9 years. Thank you, Guardian formerly known as PicklePixs.
-
How is this still not resolved for all players? I'm trying to set my PlayStation name back as my Bungie name like it was before, and I can't even do that.
-
Annnnd another TWID with nothing! Please Bungie. Give us SOMETHING!
-
6 RepliesStop lying Bungie! I have not received any token for a name change, and it's obvious from all the comments that I am not the only one.

1 ReplyI’ve tried again on my laptop rather than my phone to change my name back and it still isn’t working for me either. I’ve tried changing my name back to my gamer tag, PicklePixs, but once I click ‘Save Settings’, I get the same message “You can only change your Bungie Name one time.” I’ve posted three times in this chat, politely requesting your help to change my name back to PicklePixs or grant a ‘change name’ token so I can change it myself. I’ve read the Bungie name policy and I don’t see anything offensive in my name that is also the same name as my Xbox and Twitch account. As a Destiny 2 player for more than 9 years and the amount of money I spend with Bungie, I would very much like to see Bungie support loyal players to properly fix this issue for everyone rather than incorrectly posting an update telling everyone the issue is fixed. Please, please, please, please help me get my identity back. Thanks in advance, Guardian formerly know as PicklePixs

Cmon, Bungie. It's been ages. It's not actually fixed. Just please fix it. Or even disable the filter, so we can get our names back. Just deal with actually offensive names manually. Because clearly this filter is a problem if it's taking THIS LONG to fix. To truely fix, so please. just find SOME SOLUTION TO THIS
