Oh man that's bad, feel sorry for you. I have always wondered why they don't have character locking like they do for equipment.

You probably can get close to that point in a week, won't have all that armour but you can get to a fully levelled warlock pretty soon. The weapons though, that might be different depending on which weapons got deleted and and if you had dupes.

Maybe you can try maining another class for now to take your mind off.
 
i can't function... i can't. No lock on characters, no backup, no nothing.

I posted on twitter, reddit and bungie.net just now... and I've read similar posts as well that were within the past few days and replies by bungie saying nope. So I know it's a lost cause. But I just cant help it.. This is inexusable. I know part of it is my fault but i literally played a few iron banner matches before everyone came over. he usually doesnt touch my stuff until I tell him to but this time he did and yea..... wow

Damn. I'd be so pissed off. All those hours...

I don't know why Bungie can't put a timer on character deletes. 24 hours. Let people change their minds. Would cost them absolutely nothing to implement as all the data is on the server anyway.

I really can't. First instinct is to yell at him, but he'll just cry and tell his parents and more family drama. He's actually sleeping over right now with my other nephews.

Might just ask him why he did it, idk... it almost doesn't matter since there's nothing I could do to get it back.

I can't understand why there isn't an option to "lock" a character. You can lock shitty blue-tier weapons to stop them getting deleted, which nobody cares about...but you can't lock a character who you've spent 10 fucking months of you life creating and levelling. It's so stupid.


Sorry about your character getting deleted. I'd be so angry if it ever happened to me
 
You can lock weapons but not characters. That definitely sucks.

Deleting characters should require an intermediate step. Like an authenticator thing that Blizzard uses or requiring simultaneous use of the app/website in some way. If this franchise continues for years as they say the grief of characters being accidentally deleted will only become greater.
 
I've been going through a ridiculous amount IRL in the past 10 months, Destiny has meant so much to me. I've imagined to stop playing for a while but for just a period of time, never ever deleting a character that has so much meaning and statistics behind it. It hurts.... this one really hurts.

Even deleting characters in MMOs requires you to type "DELETE" or the character's name.

That really sucks man :(

6-0 on Trials passage, 3-0 in the match.

Then we all get babooned and now our Mercy of Osiris is gone and we have a loss on our passage.

Fucking hell.

Yea, If you can't fix ridiculous amount of network errors this game has at least stop it fucking over the Trails cards. Loss of Mercy AND a loss on the card is unacceptable to be honest.

Makes me not even want to touch the mode again.

Good morning, DGAF!

Last night was surprisingly devoid of fireworks unlike the fucking morning where some assholes woke up my neighborhood by setting off a few of them.

Need to play at least 2-3 IB matches to get to rank 5.

holy shit xplicit, that really fucking sucks :( sorry to hear about that.

Bungie really should implement a system where we can back up/lock a character to the servers for mishaps like this. Or lock them with a password...
 
It's not even on my profile anymore... like no sign of him whatsoever like he never existed

Ah geez, that sucks. I'd be upset if this happened to me as well. On the bright side, you get to experience Bungie's amazing story telling through the eyes of a new born guardian all over again.
When you're ready I'll help you run through the story.
. You'll also be able to wreck unsuspecting victims in crucible. No one ever pays any mind to the level 5 guardian until it's too late. I remember what it was like as a baby Titan armed with just a shotgun and my bubble. Easy kill they said...Lol.

That reeeeeeally sucks. That's terrible. Only thing I would say is if you do confront your nephew maybe try to confirm he actually did it and not one of the other kids.

Attempting Trials 9-0 right now. PM me if you're interested. I did it yesterday morning with some destinylfgers and looking to give it another shot on another char.
 
Had my family over for independence day and My 8 yr old nephew deleted my main/warlock

That's a total nightmare, so sorry to hear that dude. I would be crushed if I lost any character now, I think we've all grown pretty attached to them by now :-/

It's crazy to me that they don't have a character recovery feature for things like this (not to mention Kermit the Frog type stuff).
 
GGs all around to the IB Train folks, very fun stuff and (by IB standards) not too laggravating. Doing all the bounties yesterday and today took me from 0 to being <2000 rep away from rank 5. Might as well do a little more later so I can complete my IB weapon collection (and then never use the PR).

I wish we could have played more teams like these guys...

I never check this thread so it's funny that I recognize Drizzay's name from last night. Our regular team was running a group of six, mostly from the clan "Le Coup Double" (and we're not French, don't ask, haha).
