Hey folks! Due to an upcoming change in the way we store character data, all characters will be wiped with the next patch beta patch. Since this wipe will also affect achievements, I wanted to drop a quick note in this thread to make sure you're all aware.
Originally, we weren't planning to wipe characters, so that meant your achievements
would still be available, but you just couldn't complete any new objectives. The changes we're making to character storage are really important, though, and a character wipe is necessary to fully implement them.
We apologize for the late notice, but thank you for all the testing and feedback you've provided so far!
