[quote]Bungie has clarified with IGN even further saying that yes, your progress will 100% carry over to the sequel.

[quote]The idea is that the Guardian you have created is something you can bring along with you on that adventure. If you take a look at the way people have played other games for a long period of time, they've had a relationship with the same character for a very long time.[/quote]

Edited by FromNowOn: 8/6/2017 5:38:09 PMEven though this article is from 2014 and we already know Bungie both totally screwed up with D1 and also lied a bunch over the years.... It's still nice to hear that at one time this was really the intention. Fanboys will come on here and say "uh that's from 2014" like it totally discredits the article. But in reality, it's a good reminder that at one point there had to be a meeting where the big wigs decided that no progress should carry over. There was no community discussion on the matter, there was no Q&A as to why, there wasn't even an explanation lore-wise other than "they blew up your vault and kicked you off a ledge". Pretty pathetic honestly. That would have been such a great opportunity to bring the community closer together and to show that they really care. But no. Some out of touch morons around a boardroom table put their foot down and decided "what's best" for millions of gamers... (even though, unfortunately, in this article DeeJ actually only talks about the characters being pulled through, which is what happened... So... I mean, they kinda actually kept their word on that one. He never really says your "progress" will carry through)
