Taking to Twitter for the announcement, the Bungie Help account revealed that the Bungie.net Gear Manager is being taken down on August 23. What this means is players will no longer be able to see their personal Destiny statistics, transfer or equip gear from the site, or create new Refer-A-Friend links. Active Refer-A-Friend links will continue to function after August 23 as well, letting players collect their rewards. This news also includes the companion mobile app as well as the main Bungie.net webpage.
Part of the August 1 cut off also included character appearances as well. Any character designs players enabled prior to August 1, were locked in and made available for import once Destiny 2 arrives. While many veteran players may have assumed additional customization options would be available in the sequel, Bungie confirmed that players won’t be able to further edit their imported Destiny characters. Players will need to create a new character from scratch in order to see the new customization options.
Destiny is available now on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
