Well my fellow guardians I guess it's time for me to leave Destiny for good :( not because I want to or am over the game but because yesterday I woke up to find out that my son had deleted my 3 Level 32 characters (Titan, Warlock, Hunter) and then proceeded to the vault which was full and dismantled all my guns including 2 Gjallarhorns. I had all the Dark Below raid armor, guns, pretty much every exotic gun (duplicates of the best ones) and the best exotic armor for each character and yep now it's all gone all 500 or so hours and some really good luck from RNG all gone, gone to nothing. So pretty much all I"m left with now is the 2 level 3 characters he created, some heavy ammo packs, gun telemetries and the radiant materials I had.
I've met some really good people and had a lot of fun times because of this game and that's what I'll miss most about this game the social side of things it brought to me, just chillin and talking crap with my mates while raiding or whatever it was we were doing.
I guess I'll miss out on House of Wolves now too which I've already paid for because I can't see myself re-grinding back to where I was or even half of where I was :(
Anyways this is me signing off and saying my final farewell have fun out there guardians and kick some ass.

OK so my son is 6 yrs old almost 7. Yes I'd let him play it occasionally at times when I was with him.
No my Ps4 was not password protected it was set to auto log in <(worst mistake ever, lesson learned).
The deleting process how I think it went down. (He was awake before me, I wake up at 7 or when my youngest wakes me if not before that).
He deleted my titan then made a titan done the story levels got to the tower then pulled all my guns out and dismantled them then transferred all he could to the titans inventory (consumables and radiant mats is all I had in the vaults general section) .
Then deleted my warlock and hunter I guess and made a new warlock. So everything on my characters deleted and my guns from the vault also.
The Reason (it was not done maliciously or in an act out to me at all)
When I first realised what he'd done I was angry and said to him why'd he do this all he said was I wanted to be the hunter then pretty much shut down. This didn't make sense to me because Hunter was the only class he didn't make.
The next day after work I had another chat to him he said the same thing he wanted to be the hunter, I said what do you mean you made a titan and a warlock, he said I wanted the controller to be red but I didn't know how to do that. Me???? what are you talking about.
He said I wanted to be second player so I could use the hunter we made, the fresh started character. Then I realised what he was going on about on the PS4 controller the light on the front is blue for first player and red for second player. A few weeks back we made a new character (hunter) because he wanted a fresh start (I guess having everything was to easy for him lol). So I made the new character on my second psn account which that day was second player with the red light on the front. He was looking for that character and wanted a fresh started character ( because Gjallarhorn is to OP I guess and should be nerfed LOL jokes). He didn't know I'm not able to get my stuff back.
Anyways shit happens and a big lesson learned for me.

That stinks. Oh well. Life goes on

This is why is ps4 has it, put a freaking password or something to log in. No one can mess with your stuff i feel terrible for what happened. I'm not one who supports deletion like Kermit. In fact, I truly understand that it's a loss of life. You spend hundreds of hours of your life you will never get back on it and then with the x or square button being held... Those hours are gone. I would quit if it was done to me tbh. I would run you through raids every week to help you in all honesty but we are on two different consoles. But I understand not wanting to go I through another 500+ hours into a game to get the same stuff you should have never lost. I'm deeply sorry for your loss. In your free time when you have NOTHING better to do, show your son how to level to 20 or you do it. Only do all this when you have some time and don't grind like you previously did because that will be depressing. Just okay 2-3 hours a day. Once he's 20 teach him how to do strikes and keep 21 light blue armor. Buy a legendary piece with marks and get the Eris legendary arms and you are up to two legendary pieces in a week. Run vaults and have your son level another two characters, all the same race so you can switch armor in between so you can do 3 raids a week once they all are 20. And after that point only get on enough each week to do weekly and nightfall and raids. 7 days each week to do all that.. You can just play about 2-3 hours a day yet again. By the time house of wolves comes out, you will have a decent amount of gear or all if you are really lucky. Tl;dr No one will probably read all of that but I hope you do at least read the above paragraph and this one. (Continuing from above paragraph) Think about it, it won't be that bad if you only do it when you really have nothing better to do. Why not play some destiny. Level to 20 slowly doing bounties or something. Tell those friends you mentioned previously to boost you in story. If they are friends they will help. I got buddies who help me.

Why is everyone being such ballbags to him and his kid? All I have to say is unlucky mate!

"Too bad." - Bungie

Edited by FIRE WRAITH 01: 3/20/2015 9:06:39 AMMaybe it was your son's way of telling you to spend time with him.

It's a sign. Stop! Sometimes I wish my character was deleted. My whole PS4 for that matter. But I'm too weak to quit. Good luck, Guardian.

Guardian down.
-
Dude I would have disowned my son man holy crap I hope this works out well for you damn
-
Happy to help you level up again mate! What a nightmare. I am on both xbone and ps4 but mostly xbone these days. Gamertag and psn is the same feel free to add me.
-
So your son deleted all three characters and THEN deleted your gjallarhorn out of your vault? In that case you need to send him to Hogwarts because your son is a wizard.
-
Unlucky dude

Edited by LeonTTC: 3/20/2015 9:03:43 AMAnd this is why I still don't want kids

What system you running? I'll help you get back there if you want SniperClarkey PS4
-
Give him the Ole Stone Cold Stunner!!!
-
That reallllllly sucks dude, hopefully bungie does help you.

He probably did it because you almost exclusively use the thorn and he knew that only huge p*ssies do that so he was saving your dignity.

Edited by corgi: 3/20/2015 7:40:45 AMI'm still trying to figure out how he deleted 3 characters, then went to your vault, dismantled (coincidentally your best stuff) gear, [i]then[/i] made two new characters.
-
Nice try mate. Can only delete two characters, won't let you delete the third.
-
get some chains tie him down and make him grind back what he deleted. Occasionally feed him.
-
So first he deleted your characters then he went to your vault ?? Is that possible
