There are news for all clan members of Destiny 2: Will the clan from Destiny 1 still exist?
Update 25.7: As many questions have arisen regarding the topic. Due to the extended beta of Destiny 2, Bungie has postponed the date from which clan transfers from Destiny 1 to Destiny 2 are possible. The process will now begin on July 26, which may still take several hours. Perhaps then on Wednesday evening our time.
Note: The article was originally published at the end of June.
Original announcement:
Bungie is preparing for the release of Destiny 2. Last week they announced the last dates in Destiny 1 and gave an insight into what rewards veterans can look forward to. In “This Week at Bungie,” they discuss the preparations that clan members – especially clan leaders – need to make.
Clans can be transferred to Destiny 2
Clans will gain significant importance in Destiny 2. “Community” and “teamwork” will be essential in the sequel, Bungie emphasized repeatedly during the gameplay premiere. Therefore, clans will become an in-game feature, allowing you to earn rewards with your clan and guide solo players through so-called Guided Games through endgame content.
Note: A clan in Destiny 1 is a group of players who come together to play through the content in Destiny. A group can be created and turned into a clan on Bungie.net.
The community manager DeeJ writes that many guardians are asking: “Bungie, will my clan also exist in Destiny 2?”
The answer is “Yes!” However, your clan leader must take action to transfer the clan to the sequel.
Starting July 25, clan leaders must visit their clan page on Bungie.net and decide whether they want to convert their group into a “Destiny 2” clan. Clan founders can also decide whether to transfer their titles and permissions to another member who may be better suited for the upcoming adventures in Destiny 2.
You have one month to make all preparations for Destiny 2 (an end date is not yet known). After that, the new clan creation feature will go live on Bungie.net to support Destiny 2. More information on this will follow in the future.
What happens to my clan in Destiny 2?
Your clans that you convert into a “Destiny 2” clan will retain their basic structure. The maximum is 100 players per clan. Each “Destiny 2” account on a platform can join only one clan.
The two major innovations regarding clans are:
- that you can act as guides in a clan, to lead solo players through endgame missions such as raids, nightfall strikes, and trials,
- and that you can earn clan rewards. Each member of a clan receives rewards based on the overall success of the clan.
Additionally: You can manage the clan overview directly in the game and send invitations to new members. So you don’t need to go to an external website for this.
However, there is also a “sacrifice” with this new clan system: If your clan was part of a larger clan alliance, this will unfortunately be broken up. However, they are considering new options for communities to connect on a large scale.
You have until after the beta of Destiny 2 to take action as your clan leaders. Then, on July 25, Bungie will provide detailed information on what you need to consider for your clans.
In the end, DeeJ thanks all clan leaders for guiding their clan members into a new game.
