If they get rid of Titans and Warlocks in their current state and design i'm done with this game.
Because bungie specifically went out of their way to say they would?
Because last year during the end of "year one" they specifically gave items and said "in 10 years people will wonder how you obtained those items in the current game".
Because they sell cosmetics and other microtransactions for characters people believe will be with them for the entire journey?
What a crazy belief eh? Where on earth would these people get the idea that their stuff would carry over?

Yeah there's reason to believe that there is going to be a shitload of people playing the game.
Nah, we're just entitled for wanting them to keep to their word.

As someone who feel to the Destiny hype and then ended up hating the game, this news has me curious for the sequel.

This is is old news and things changed drastically. Also it has nothing to do to carry over. 10 year plan could mean 10 year plan of microtransactions.
Well ideally you can log into your character whether it's on console or pc. That would be the ideal way to do it. Just keep the character saved on the server so that no tampering can happen and let me play wherever I want.

It hurts.
I know there arent many but just thinking shooters off the top of my head: Battlefront is arguably one of the best looking shooters on console and holds a solid 60fps, Battlefield, Call of Duty has been looking better and maintaining 60, Titanfall 2.
Unless they're making some amazing visuals with a huge scope in Destiny 2, I dont see why a targeted 60fps wouldn't be a priority for Bungie. It would make its great gameplay into amazing.
Let me dream.
With the death of the licensed games business and the decline of Skylanders, the Activision part of Activision Blizzard has basically nothing going for them outside of CoD, so they're probably not too upset given Destiny is on an upward trajectory.

That's unfortunate. But at least it's been talked about
Yeah, kinda. A lot of things change in that race toward 10 years especially when you're built on a platform that was about dead.
So basically 5 people then.
I still doubt anyone who has deeply integrated into that community will move to PC though, even if they are primarily a PC gamer. It just means you'll have to stop playing with a considerable amount of people you've been playing with for years.

The 10 year plan has been scrapped and restructured. You guys know that right? There was the leak before of what they were planning for release before Destiny 2(When it was supposed to be released this year originally), and alot of that stuff was moved around or scrapped.
Like...you saying 'Well bungie said we would keep our characters' when they've already restructured what their plan is...is a bit silly? LIke, alot of people have left Bungie since that was said.
is that the new battleground now? "Bungie HAS to let us keep our characters!".
For that reason alone, I want them to force the players to make new characters.

The leak specifically points to muuuuuuuuuuch bigger areas - that's already the end for the 60fps on console dream.

That would be ideal, but currently, I have two separate sets of toons on Xbox One and PS4, despite being tied to the same Bungie.net account.
Well then there'd better be content in those areas, because as it is, the current areas, despite being small, are pretty damn barebones.

highly doubt it
My bet is that they had thier hands full with the console versions, a PC could be done but dealing with additional things like anti cheat systems and etc was too much for them.
Essentially the game had an incredibly troubled development cycle and they felt they absolutely could not handle another platform at the time.
Afterwards, it was more that it was a bit late to start for the first game when all the tech people were busy on the sequel.

I want Destiny 2 to be ...
No Man's Sky (exploration) + Diablo 2 (RPG) + Souls Game (Bosses) + Destiny 1(Action)
You can do it Bungie...no more half ass stuff

Really hope I can keep my hunter. Everything else sounds like it's for the better.
And we're being the silly ones? The people who are adamant on no characters transfer are coming across as petty.
Why are you guys acting like Bungie is some small studio where this is out of their scope?
None of those games do areas as big or enemies as dense as Destiny 1....let alone Destiny 2 which is suppose to be much bigger...that in itself means it won't be 60FPS due to the CPU.
Also Titanfall 2 does not look better, it's dated even by 2014 standards.

I'm much rather give up my character if it allowed Bungie to redesign them so they actually felt more unique. I'm more connected to my NBA 2k17 mycareer guy after a couple hours than my Destiny character after years. I wish the guns alone and armor alone did not make us who we are, but unique characteristics and attributes that made each guardian's skills unique.

The best thing about Destiny is the gunplay. If they keep that, I will get D2 day one. I do not care if I get to keep my character but I can understand people who spent money on theirs might.

This sounds like a complete do-over to try and do what they wanted to do with the first Destiny before production went to hell. Start over again and do it right this time.
Destiny 2: Destiny 1 but better this time we promise
Maybe that game we were hyped for before release is still on its way. If all goes as planned I imagine Destiny 1 will get swept under the rug.
Thank you for Beta Testing the Destiny concept. We hope you enjoy Destiny2 1: For Real This Time.

So does this mean this game is 3-4 years out?
I was hoping the game would transistion into D2 in a massive update that evolved Destiny into Destiny 2, but if this is a proper new game it could be many years out in the future.

It's next fall. It was supposed to be this fall. Remember, 750+ people working on it.

I mean
You're quoting what is essentially a 3 year old quote in reference to a game that got major changes between that and release, and then has been restructured ever since that.
If D2 is on a better engine, and the caveats they had to make was having to leave old stuff in the attic for a temporary amount of time, then something like 'character' transfer might not work.
At the most, you'll have the option of loading a character in with the same general look, with some 'rewards' for having all this old stuff, but unless they decide to port over all the old gear and render it with their new tech, then having a 'fresh' character that is, by appearance, the same as your old character the best you can hope for.
If what Shinobi said is true about the reason they're leaving old content behind because of this new tech they're using, then it just isn't feasible to make a pass on all the old gear that a player may or may not have.

Maybe Destiny 1 players are lucky and gonna get the "Early Access" Emblem.

This sounds incredible and will definitely reel me back in.
Destiny 1 sounds like a cancerous tumor they need to cut out for the sake of the franchise's future. Better development tools mean more robust content at a better pace. They need to prioritize this above all.
The people throwing their temper tantrums and claiming they won't return for the second game if they don't carry everything over are so full of shit. When they fire up their console and see half their friends list having a good time in the greatly improved Destiny 2, their will is going to last as long as the CoD "boycott".

In my humble opinion, there's is zero chance that our characters won't transfer into D2. It's what the game is based around. All the blood, sweat and tears we all have poured into the game won't be for not. I would bet they introduce 3 new classes of guardian. 10 year plan.

10 year plan was always for a franchise and not for one game.

Would you really call it a beta if you enjoyed enough to keep playing for three years straight? And with that logic, would you retroactively call any first games in a series a beta since their failings were corrected in their sequels? Why is it bad that they learn from their mistakes and improve for the successive game? Isn't that the whole point of a sequel?
