So, I'm playing Destiny as a Warlock and I noticed that some of my gear had very 'anti-hunter' descriptions. One said something along the lines of Hunters not being able to shoot straight and other said Warlocks will never 'cede their position' to the Hunters. Anyone know why there's bad blood between the two, or if there's tension between all the classes, or did I just pick a class that happens to be really pissy?
EDIT: So there is some tension between each of the classes. The shit talk mainly goes on between the Warlocks and Huntards. The Huntards and Titans also have a few jabs at each other. Titans and Warlocks seem to get along.
Edit 2: Hunters*
Edit 3: Holy shit, nearly 1500 replies now. This post was from the Beta in July and it just picked up a lot more steam.
-
Hunters and Warlocks seem to have fashion battles as well. One of my cloaks talked about looking better than Warlocks without looking like you are trying.
-
Talking shit is just funny sometimes, theres no hate.
-
The reason titans and warlocks Get-along, is because one is an offense and one is a defense class. Hunters are pretty much a rogue Scout

Edited by ProwlyB: 8/3/2014 9:23:03 PMI don't. No doubt some warlocks do. You have to review the history of the classes to fully understand the bad blood between them. By my estimation the earliest recorded incident goes something like this: It all started when Jur the Warlock was eating a meal one day while resting under the shade of a tree. Unknown to Jur, he was being observed from the brush nearby, by an experienced hunter named Phaylus. Jur began to doze off, tired from a long day of collecting spinmetal for weapons research. Phaylus was hungry, for the traps he had set in the nearby forest had turned up empty that day after making his rounds. So, Phaylus crept up to the snoring Jur and took his half eaten meal, slowly creeping back into the brush. Some time later, Jur awoke to find he had been robbed of his food. Wondering who the culprit had been, he spotted footprints leading from his tree where he slept into the nearby brush. They were clearly made by the boots of a hunter. It seems in his haste, Phaylus forgot to cover his tracks, a mistake usually reserved only to a novice, quite unlike Phaylus. Jur decided to follow the tracks deeper into the forest, but eventually the trail became too difficult for him to follow. Giving up, he reluctantly headed home. Jur never caught the thief who took his meal, but he remembered those tracks, and so he warned other warlocks to take care while working in the field. You never know when some opportunistic hunter might be lurking nearby.

Edited by OmizzDontMiss: 8/3/2014 9:40:31 PMBungie mentioned that Warlocks will have bigger bonds then in the beta. They implied on holographic gauntlets that cover your whole arm. So yeah, -blam!- capes.

Hunters look like sand people
-
You see, we Warlocks, with our amazing robes, helmets, holographic armbands and sexy pants, have a far superior sense of style than those sissy hunters wearing blankets around their necks with gas masks and they just can't accept it.
-
I noticed that too
-
I think it's more of a friendly rivalry. Warlocks FTW!
-
Honestly it's probably just an inside joke between Bungie employees.
-
Titan master race
-
Just disagreements over fashion. It's like the military, every branch jokes (and doesn't joke) that they are better then the other branches, but at te end of the day everyone is team America.

What the -blam!- did you just -blam!-ing say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in guerilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the -blam!- out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my -blam!-ing words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, -blam!-er. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re -blam!-ing dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your -blam!-ing tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re -blam!-ing dead, kiddo. -Hunter

Warlocks be like "Abra cadabra" I just be like "shut up and eat my ground pound". #Titan4Lyfe

I'm glad us Kings of the battlefield(Titans) are not in this dispute.
-
Sort of a rivalry like Legolas and Gimli in The Lord of the Rings maybe ?
-
I don't hate hunters
-
I have met many titans that were less than useful fighting a spider tank. I like hunters. As long as i dont have to rez them from right in front of a spider tank...
-
My fav is Hunter and Warlock. Plan to play all classes, they are all fun!!
