Destiny 2: Powers Won’t Carry Over

There are ton’s of games that allow for both weapons and abilities to carry over into a sequel of their franchise. This is done to allow gamers to keep abilities and items that they have worked hard not only to obtain, but enjoy using. That said, it’s always fun to start over from the beginning. This is doubly so in a game that is online, as it’s fun to start on a level playing field with the competition.

One game that’s wiping the slate is Bungies upcoming game Destiny 2. Wherein which characters will face a total reset in terms of weapons and gear that they had in the first game. However, if your attached to your character, appearances will carry over.

Bungie stated on their blog that they feel: “Sequels represent the start of a new adventure for every player, with new worlds to explore, new stories to tell, new powers to acquire, new loot to earn, and much more,”. Which is a valid view on video gaming. After all, each journey should be a little different than the last and feel like a progression as oppose to stagnation in a game.

I’m sure there are a few people who are upset with the loss of their hard earned loot, but to those people I say “game on”. You can always see this new start as a chance to advance down character traits that you didn’t already test. Or as a chance to race your friends to the top of the charts. Either way, it’s all in good fun.

Originally, Destiny was meant to have a “ten-year” life span. However, like all things, games must come to an end. For those of you that feel like Bungie gave them nothing, it is important to note that they stated “Destiny 1 power, possessions, and Eververse-related items and currency will not carry forward. They will, however, remain accessible to you in Destiny 1”. So, if nothing else, you can always access your old content and have fun. As I’m sure there will be plenty of gamers still playing Destiny 1 for quite sometime.

I know it’s hard to say goodbye, but sometimes we must. In the upcoming weeks more information will become available on the Destiny 1 spring update – as Destiny 2 is still a while away.
