Destiny 2 back online but players have lost progress and in-game currency

Bungie claims it has fixed the problem with missing in-game materials, including glimmer and bright dust, but players have still lost out.

Destiny 2 has had a difficult week so far, with the 2.7.1 update causing players to lose in-game resources, including glimmer, infusion materials, and bright dust, from their inventories.

The only thing Bungie could do was take the whole game offline and it only came back on in the early hours of this morning.

It should be stable now, but Bungie has warned that all character data has had to be rolled back to 4.30pm GMT on Tuesday, 28 January. So anything you did after that has been lost for good.

That’s a pretty major issue and means anyone that jumped on for a game of Destiny 2 last night was pretty much wasting their time.

Thankfully, it’s rare that things ever get that bad and really the only way to avoid it in the future is to not play immediately after a new patch, so you can make sure it hasn’t caused any problems.

The one silver lining, as it were, is that if you bought anything using bright dust or silver you should be able to get that refunded – and then you can go back and buy whatever it was again.

Any silver you bought via an online store, on console or PC, won’t be affected though.
