Destiny 2 bug is wiping Triumph progress, possibility taking away Seals

Bungie is already on the case

The way games are made these days, any small change can send the whole house of cards toppling down — live service games are in an even more precarious situation due to constant updates. Destiny 2 is currently taking a hit in this regard, and a pretty big one at that. The issue has caused the progress of some of the Triumphs to reset, which has removed already-earned Seals from some players. Of course, those affected aren’t exactly thrilled, as the Triumph objectives take a great deal of time and effort to complete, but thankfully Bungie is already working on a hotfix, as they announced on Twitter this morning.

We are continuing to actively investigate these issues. As part of the investigation, we will be bringing Destiny 2 offline shortly. https://t.co/pAH3BuCeYk

Bungie also stated that they’re extending the ongoing maintenance time for the hotfix by four hours, meaning the new end time will be 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET. The game will go offline shortly to get everything sorted, so here’s hoping it doesn’t take long to get things back on track.

This bug entered the game after the release of Hotfix 6.3.0.5, which got rid of blue engrams and therefore removed the soft gear cap — now players who were otherwise maxed out will receive Glimmer drops instead. It’s a welcome change that players have been asking for, but unfortunately, this bug has soured the mood in the community a bit.
