Destiny 2 players getting 'Riding the Storm' & 'Stoking the Flame' quests at random, issue acknowledged

Destiny 2 is an FPS MMO that challenges you to explore a huge world full of quests, loot and raids to complete with your friends.

The game usually receives new content through updates. For instance, Destiny 2 recently received ‘The Witch Queen’ expansion with new items, stages, skins, lore and more.

However, lately some Destiny 2 players have been facing a glitch where the game constantly reminds them to complete a couple of quests.

The problem is that the notifications appear even though the missions have already been completed. More specifically, those Destiny 2 quests are ‘Riding the Storm’ and ‘Stoking the Flame’.

Some players are randomly getting notifications for the old ‘Riding the Storm’ and ‘Stoking the Flame’ quests as if they were new (1, 2, 3, 4).

Weird bug…stoking the flame and riding the storm

Friend that has only played hunter made a warlock today and I logged on his account through my ps4 to do the new light stuff to let him get everything from void 3.0. Didnt bother with the solar/arc quests yet.

Logged back into my account and I magically have stoking the flame and riding the storm now too despite my warlock being much older than new light.

The glitch in question does not affect the gameplay, since you can still progress without any problem. However, notifications cannot be discarded, which results in visual distraction.

Randomly got two parts of the New Light quest again?

I’ve been playing D2 since launch and I did eventually do the New Light stuff out of curiosity back near the beginning of Beyond Light and completely finished it.

Today I help a friend through Shattered Throne and randomly got the New Light steps “Stoking The Flame” and “Riding The Storm” on my character that I had already completed New Light on over a year ago.

There’s also no option to discard them which is very annoying.

The Bungie team is already aware of the issue. Apparently, it is the product of a fix to a previous glitch.

We are investigating an issue where the “Riding the Storm” and the “Stoking the Flame” quests may be incorrectly granted to veteran players as a result of a previous fix, and cannot be discarded.

Players can complete the quests to remove it from their inventory.

The company points out that, for now, the only way to discard those notifications is to complete the quests again. But, there are no details yet on an ETA for a future fix.

We will update this story as events unfold.
