Destiny 2 players fuming after bug changes “high number of account names”

As a long-time Destiny 2 player who has seen the game through its ups and downs, I must admit that the current state of affairs is disheartening. The Final Shape expansion was a breath of fresh air earlier this year, but now it seems like we’re back to square one.


Currently, Destiny 2, which is well-known among gamers, and its developer Bungie are facing some tough times. While The Final Shape was highly praised, the game’s present condition has left many fans underwhelmed and pessimistic about its future prospects. Furthermore, a significant number of Destiny 2 players are upset due to a bug that has affected a large portion of account names.

There’s been a lot of discontent about D2, as fans aren’t pleased with the recent changes to exotic class item farming, which they find disappointing. Additionally, rumors point towards Bungie cancelling a Destiny 2 spin-off. The Final Shape was highly praised earlier this year, but currently, the game is struggling, with its player base significantly shrinking.

Fans are understandably worried about the state of the game especially following the unfortunate mass layoffs at Bungie. The most recent update didn’t impress many in the community, and right now lots of players have become victim to a bug changing account names.

Destiny 2 bug changes account names

On the main subreddit for DestinyTheGame, game developer Bungie has acknowledged a bug in Destiny 2 that’s causing account names to change unexpectedly. According to Bungie, they are currently monitoring a problem where their Bungie name moderation tool is altering many account names. They are actively looking into the issue and plan to provide more details tomorrow, including information about an extra name change token for all players.

The comment expresses frustration by stating, “If I log in at home and discover that my name has been deleted and I can’t reclaim it, then Destiny will have lost me as a player permanently. For the past decade, this could be the final straw for me. I refuse to play as Guardian#6847474774731908586 or adopt another name. My previous name was distinctive and not offensive; it was something I really appreciated.”

As a passionate fan, I can’t help but share the frustration of many others in our community about the recent game bug. Not only are we angered by it, but there’s also growing concern that we won’t be able to revert our names back to our original IDs. Bungie has mentioned they will provide an “additional name change token,” but some of us are fed up with this solution and have expressed, “Just make the name changes free already! This token nonsense is incredibly senseless.”

Check out the DestinyTheGame subreddit regularly, as we expect an update about the current situation to be posted there shortly.
