Last evening’s new Destiny 2 patch had the unintended consequence of deleting many gamers’ hard-ground money and improve supplies, inflicting Bungie to take the MMOFPS offline for 9 hours whereas they fastened it. Their answer was to roll characters again to their state earlier than the patch, which has the unlucky side-effect of wiping out every part gamers did between the patch launching and the emergency upkeep began. A giant mess proper there. Some gamers report they nonetheless have issues lacking after the rollback.
Update 2.7.1 launched at 5pm on Tuesday, and plenty of gamers observed immediately upon logging in that they’d misplaced all their Glimmer spacebucks, their earned Bright Dust for cosmetics, their paid Silver microtransaction money, and improve supplies like Enhancement Prisms and Ascendant Shards. Some of these improve supplies are super-rare and Silver prices actual cash so this was an enormous downside.
Bungie introduced at 5:31 that they had been investigating the problem, then at 6:05 that they had been taking the game offline for emergency upkeep. While they investigated and labored on a repair, the game was down till 3:18am in the present day.
“We have rolled all character data back to our most recent backup at 8:30 a.m. Pacific [4:30pm for us] before the issue was introduced,” Bungie explained. “This will restore any lost materials caused by the issue, but players will lose any progress they made if they played between 8:30 a.m and 10:20 a.m. when we brought the game down for maintenance. Any purchases made using Silver or Bright Dust during this window will need to be repurchased. Any Silver spent or purchased will be restored.”
Must suck in case you acquired some candy loot throughout the interval misplaced to the rollback. Those had been additionally the dying minutes of the newest Iron Banner occasion, one of many few methods to get Pinnacle-grade drops, so some people can have misplaced these. As somebody nonetheless looking for a pair of 970 trousers, I sympathise.
The issues don’t appear absolutely resolved but, thoughts. Some players have reported that they’re nonetheless lacking their Silver after the rollback. Others have reported that the ultra-rare Ascendant Shards they’d bravely/foolishly stored saved of their put up field are gone too. It’s not but clear fairly how frequent these follow-up points are.
Players who ran via the Corridors of Time amassing pages of the lore e book ‘The Pidgeon and the Phoenix’ will discover that has vanished too, although Bungie say this “is a separate issue and will be resolved in a future update.”
The supposed penalties of Update 2.7.1 are literally fairly good. They embody:
- Performance enhancements in sure elements of the Pit of Heresy and Garden of Salvation.
- No extra randomly dying within the Pit of Heresy when coming into the Tunnels of Despair.
- Notifications when Vex sacrifice on relays throughout the Garden of Salvation.
- The Exotic autorifle Hard Light has misplaced its terrible screenshake.
- Hush, essentially the most enjoyable bow, now works higher with Seasonal mods.
- Plenty of exploit fixes, together with one other two with that old diamond, Telesto.
- Eris now provides her ultimate loreblast, letting students full that e book.
Shame in regards to the horrible mess. See the patch notes for extra.
