According to an update from the official Bungie Help Twitter account, the removal of Destiny 2 characters, which has drawn attention in the popular FPS game’s online communities, including Reddit and Twitter, is not the result of Bungie issues. . This means that recent reports that Destiny 2 server crashes or errors could cause players to mysteriously lose characters on their account are likely a hoax from attention seekers or people trying to portray Bungie in a negative light.
“Maintaining your characters and progressing is our top priority” Bungie’s tweet regarding the question read. “Having initiated a thorough investigation into a very small number of missing character reports with great care, we are confident that our systems did not inadvertently lose characters or progress.”
Various claims of Bungie issues causing characters to suddenly disappear concerned players, with some members of the community suggesting that they were afraid to play due to what they considered a legitimate issue. The widespread attention to these reports has left many in the Destiny 2 community on the defensive, awaiting updates on the risk of potential character loss.
Some posts may come from people who mistakenly believed that Bungie was responsible for removing their characters. Mystery deletions can be due to player error, general oversight, or unauthorized account login when someone else deletes a character.
This is the second time in recent weeks that a hoax has spread through the community that paints Bungie in a bad light. In late December, members of the Destiny 2 data community started a rumor that Bungie was considering charging subscription fees for its popular free-to-play game on PC. However, the team behind the rumors eventually claimed that the statement was intended as a joke.
Last year, a player issued multiple takedown notices against Bungie that later turned out to be fraudulent. The person who posted the reviews said he did it to show how easy it is to violate YouTube’s DMCA policy. However, due to lost profits and damage to the business, Bungie retaliated against the man with a lawsuit totaling $7.6 million.
The fact that players don’t have to worry about their characters suddenly disappearing is ultimately good news for players. Those concerned about the possibility of losing their characters before Destiny 2 Lightfall’s release date and the introduction of the Destiny 2 Strand subclass have nothing to worry about, at least until Calus’s forces ambush them in the lost city. of Neumuna in a few weeks. .
