Titan Armor Designers Need To Stop
I don't know who the armor design lead is over there at Bungie, but stop, just stop. Whoever is approving these designs needs to be replaced by a Titan main, or at least be heavily advised by one. Titan's are not trash collectors, they don't lather themselves with honey and jump into a pile of junk and call it armor, so stop making them look like it.
We don't want GIGANTIC shoulders, we don't want skintight chest pieces that don't match the shoulders, and we want helmets that look unique and cool. and for the love of all that is good stop making us skip leg day (looking at you Peacekeepers). AT THE VERY LEAST be consistent!
Stop slapping cubes and spheres on our shoulders and calling it a day. Bring back the designers from D1, bring back the design lead from D1, There was so much more good options in D1, most everything flowed nicely, you could mix and match and still look decent. If you mix and match in D2 you end up having harsh transitions and it's not appealing!
Armor Pieces that (in my personal opinion) look decent in D2: (underlined is my current armor set)
[b]Helmets:[/b] [u][armory]Winterhart Helm[/armory][/u], [armory]Iron Truage Helm[/armory](OG), [armory]Annihilating Helm[/armory], [armory]Helm of Saint-14[/armory](D1 so duh), [armory]Midnight Exigent Helm[/armory]
[b]Arms:[/b] [u][armory]Iron Truage Gauntlets[/armory](OG)[/u], [armory]Omega Mechanos Gauntlets[/armory], [armory]Midnight Exigent Gauntlets[/armory]
[b]Chest:[/b] [u][armory]BrayTech Iron-Heart Engine[/armory][/u], [armory]Exodus Down[/armory], [armory]Omega Mechanos Plate[/armory], [armory]Phoenix Strife Type 0[/armory]
[b]Legs:[/b] [u][armory]Peacekeepers[/armory](but could be beefier)[/u], [armory]BrayTech Sn0Boots[/armory], [armory]Dunemarchers[/armory](Love the design, hate the perk)
[b]Marks:[/b] [u][armory]Mark Relentless[/armory][/u], [armory]Midnight Exigent Mark[/armory](wish it was longer), [armory]Winterhart Mark[/armory]
What a short list! You can see that there are certain sets that look good.
So whoever designed these sets, good job! Put them up on the board and stare at them for hours and then compare the new designs and say "do these new designs have elements of these armor pieces?" and if they don't TRY AGAIN!
The Forsaken armor (the little that we've seen) looks like the downfall of all Titan armor as we know it. It is the definition of "Throw a bunch of junk from a scrapyard together and call it armor"
I desperately hope Bungie changes their design philosophy for Titans in D2. Titan's want to look just as fabulous as Hunters, but with a focus on looking cool and awesome. Make the "tank" character actually look good, sharp angles, good transitions between armor, none of this "basic shapes" nonsense! Please, PLEASE. I want to feel cool! I want to feel like a Titan! Not your definition Bungie!
Edit: A few people don't like that I'm speaking for Titans as a whole, but what I can tell you that if you are a Titan and you like the current aesthetic of Titan armor, you are the minority. As seen by the multitude of up-votes on this post. I'm really glad there are people that do like how Titan's look now, but understand that a large majority of Titans do not.

1 ReplyI agree. I'm not super huge into the look of armor but man most Titan armor is ugly especiallly the furry shoulder pads lol. Hunters are alot better but at least some of there stuff looks cool.

1 ReplyBungie hates Titans. Simple. They all play Warlocks and Hunters at home, and at work they go about trying to make those two classes the best while doing all they can to make Titans the worst. Shoulder Charge? Yeah you can have it as a One Charge melee ability that doesn't actually kill anything apart from a few Red Bar enemies in Patrol. We could make it so the one charge one hits people...but then we'd get killed by it, so lolno. Or make it a constant ability and not OHK...nah too much effort. Striker Super? Yeah you can run after people with it but they'll be faster than you and kill you while you try to get close enough to kill them, also we'll give it the longest activation animation so you can be one shot by power weapons before you hit them. Armour? Eh what ever, who cares. We made enough cool stuff for our Warlock and Hunter mains so just throw some trash together and give it to them. Whatever. Did everything I could to get the Omega Mechanos set from Season 2 because its the only decent looking set out there. IB Trauge Season 1 is a close second. Hated the S2 Shredder Ornaments and the Crumpled Aluminum Can S3 ones too so havent even bothered playing IB. Oh and for the best looking Titan set? They stuck it behind Level 7 of EP so 99% of Titans will never get to see it. Bungie hates Titans and really couldn't give a shit what they look like or how they preform. (If you play Warlock or Hunter, good for you. I have one each of those. Titan is my main though and it pisses me off to see how much Bungie just doesn't care.)

2 RepliesEdited by Stillnyte: 6/24/2018 5:04:22 AMAll the armor for Titan, Hunter, and Warlock looks like shit honestly. Hunter armor just looks like Destiny's version of the Booty Bandits from Fairy Tail. Titan armor looks like it's made out of plastic, hell they should've just colored all the armor green and renamed the Titans Toy Soldiers. Warlock armor makes us look like nuns. Are we all going to go to the Vatican church and 'save' little children and 'teach' them the ways of God?

2 RepliesTitans should look and feel like Spartans. It would be somewhat “copying” , but fromBungie itself. Oh, and they should stop putting plumes on our armors; we ain’t drag queens!
-
I hate most the armor for all the classes. There’s only 3 sets in total I like for each class. They just don’t make armor like they used to anymore and don’t seem to understand what we like. Season 2 new monarchy armor ornaments looked cool (hunter especially, that’s the armor I use for my hunter) but this season theyre just ugly looking. the designers work hard I’m sure but they just need to listen to us more often.
-
1 ReplyI think mine looks great and it doesnt include any of what you said, check mine out my gamertag is jbodst75, its the only armor pieces i could find that fits a space marine and isnt so bulky like most of the armour.
-
Edited by KnavishPlum169: 6/24/2018 8:05:39 PMWhat ever happened to designing armor like it was D1? The sets from taken king are bulky, but actually look good. I think the issue is that the shoulders look to simple. They are just giant squares. Forsaken seems to be bringing even weirder armor... hopefully the vanguard armor is good. And Bungie really needs to fix the positioning of the retro grade shoulders... the right one sticks out to far.
-
The 1980' s shoulder pads gotta stop.
-
4 RepliesWell at least we're getting what looks like a legendary version of the RPC Valiant set
-
Edited by HaouRyuk: 6/24/2018 6:37:23 PMTitans should be well armed and armored sure, but the gigantic armor of Destiny 2 is just stupid looking to me, (I think it's the second raid armor) looks like a fat ass dung beetle...WAY too big and bulky, looks like the Titan's just been sitting around the Tower all day hanging around the noodle shop too often...But I agree, these dumb MASSIVE pauldrons are just silly, (lucky is a game, good luck moving in that crap for real) Also, maybe it's just me but the female armor seems to have gone, a lot of the chest plates are mostly flat (No, Not asking for breast plates, but a little building outward to show you're not a man would be nice) Female Titans for the most part just look like skinny males. I get that Titans are supposed to be the great defenders, walking tanks, but that doesn't mean they have to be stupidly massive (if anything that would just make them slower, bigger targets) Weirdly some Warhammer assassins have a more Titan, Hunter and Warlock feel to them than Destiny does, meanwhile the Titans go the way of the space marine with their huge ass shoulders But I'll be honest (and this is why i wish ALL armor was able to upgrade) From D1 to D2, I usually end up liking the blue armor for each class better than 70% of the purples, I don't understand why the design team does fairly well with blues and then drops the ball on purple trying to make them almost "too special" sure, make them more unique, more and better detail, better color patterns and what not, but stay with the themes you've been working with for the rest of the game.
-
And the Raid sets, the ugliest sets in the whole godamn franchise.
-
All the classes have shite arnor in d2. The designers need to reevaluate d1 armor and reintegrate that style. We need more "old west" hunter, more tank titans WITHOUT GIGANTIC SHOULDER PADS, and more badass space wizard warlocks.
-
Most of the armors in the game are garbage or reskined garbage, regardless of class. I think the worst parts of the Titan armors are the shoulders and the class itens.
-
2 RepliesAgree - at least about the shoulders. They just look fricking stupid! Are those bowls on the shoulders of the NM and FWC sets? Why are they so big - and why doesn't shoulder charge with crucible spine shoulders kill in one hit?
-
agree that the IB titan gear ornaments look funky
-
1 ReplyAbsolutely agree the only shoulders you can use in D2 are the ones from sloane on titan
-
Doom fang pauldron goes hard tho and the new buffs are amazing with sentinel. Personally I don’t like any other shoulder guards for titans though, I feel like there’s not much design variety.
-
I'm lucky to be a Warlock with Stag exotic ornament and the Dawning event chest armor. oh, and IB season 3 gauntlets. And for those who say that Stag is great cosmeticaly but stupid in combat, well, I can manage well with it. Healing rifts are helping quite a lot.
-
What about the ugly IB ornaments for the Titan in season 3. That helmet ornament is ugly
-
11 RepliesYeah I [i]like[/i] the current Titan armor. It looks like [i]armor[/i], big, heavy, bulky, [i]armor[/i] for a warrior class. For some of them though proportions are a bit off, legs could be better. The Mars set I feel is PERFECT aside from a screwed up helmet size, arms and legs are properly bulked. We are not some mere soldier, nor peasant, we are TITANS! We do not simply wage war, we ARE the embodiment of war.

1 ReplyBest looking armor for titans was d1 year 3 of trials
-
If I remind me correctly, Forsaken will contain smoke slim armor sets for Titans.... Til this arrive, I play D1. I can't take this boring Gameplay of D2 longer... Maybe in July with the return of bounties I'm back.
-
I actually really like the standard crucible gear it looks dope as hell especially with metro shift shader
-
Yeah Titans look ridiculous, they all look like they should be in a coliseum clashing beer mugs all sounding like Rambo when they speak. D1 Armor design in general was more true to the description of the classes and I think matched the theme of the game better overall. Yeah D2 could definitely take some art design tips from D1, ASAP. #MakeTitansGreatAgain

1 ReplyI want my Siva set back.

Yeah the titan armor looks funny. Big round shoulders look ugly and funny
