Destiny 2<\/em>‘s Dawning 2024 kicked off today with an unexpected holiday gift: a free event card upgrade, to the joy of the game’s community. Shortly after, however, Bungie disabled the freebie\u2014and most of the event’s progression systems along with it.<\/p>
“Due to disabling the Dawning Event Card, all Event Card Triumphs and progression are on hold until the main issue is resolved,” the studio wrote on social media today<\/a>, just half an hour after saying progress would continue normally<\/a>. This means most of the core objectives in the Dawning are not available, though players can still earn Dawning currencies and advance quests. It’s unclear if any progress made during the outage will be retroactive.<\/p>

Event cards are arguably the backbone of Destiny 2<\/a><\/em>‘s seasonal events. A card works as a free-to-play checklist with challenges and rewards tied to it. Completing these objectives gives you weapons and cosmetics related to whatever festivities are going on.<\/p>
Event cards were introduced in 2022, during a time of high popularity in Destiny 2<\/em>\u2014though that didn’t help the acceptance of these new microtransactions<\/a>. When they released, event cards cost the equivalent of a full season or a specific Silver-only ornament. They’re still two-thirds of the cost of an episode\u2014the successor to Destiny 2<\/em>‘s seasons that feels a lot like a slowed-down season.<\/p>
Though the event card is disabled, players can still gather Dawning Essence and Dawning Spirit and bake as many cookies as they can. Quests and bounties are also working. That said, it might be best to hold off on playing until it’s back, and some content creators like glitchmaster extraordinaire Cheese Forever <\/a>are advising players not to log in.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
