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

Thank god it didn't, D2 would be a shit show then. Whether people like it or not, a hard reset was needed to get more people into the franchise. People can bitch and moan about it but its whats bets for the game, D1 sucked pretty bad Y1 , so many players left and did not look back. I don't have a problem with them trying to get more players in , they had to change some things (weapon layout, ability damage etc) Thats really not a big deal for me, the game is looking great from what we have seen and tasted so far.
