When I first starting playing Destiny, the obvious choice for me was out of a Warlock and a Hunter. I figured that people who liked Warlock were a sophisticated people. We were those who enjoyed asking questions, knowledge, mystery, art and enlightenment.
Hunters were people who liked adventure and discovery, stealth and challenge.
But Titan players? Titan players were clearly uneducated and uncouth. A people to avoid. They were those who always took the easy way out.
Afterall, why else would somebody pick a Titan and go into PvP with a Shotgun? Who else could enjoy running around the map punching people in the mouth, barging them and kneeing them mid air? Panic Fist of Havoc and dancing in their bubble on a flag then tea-bagging anyone who enters after certain death? These people must be the dregs of society.
Or so I thought...
Outside of PvP, the Titans are very useful! I am always in awe of the tools that they have to protect other guardians. Most of all in the Raid. I am actually dismayed if we have less than two Titans on the team.
But there is more to Titans than their part in the game. The people who pick Titans - the real life person - the players behind the Titans; are the nicest people that you can find!
I'm dead serious! I was just looking at my friend list and I came to realise that the people who have made the best conversation, been the most helpful, made me laugh the most, encouraged me when I have struggled; have all been Titan players.
Titan players are not only very useful in the game, but they are very intelligent people who know how to have fun and they are simply a joy to be around!
Take a moment to look at your own Destiny friends. Let's see if its just me or not. I have a feeling that it won't only be me who sees this. Titan players can troll you hard in PvP but they are really nice guys!
Beneath all of that argy-bargy bravado, beneath the heavy armour and testosterone lies a real heart of gold. Without Titan players, the community would be at a huge loss. They are to our credit and they are the needle that sews together the very fabric of our community.
They built the wall around the Last City. And I can assure you that when the Darkness returns, we will be in need of every Titan that we can find.
I used to hate Titans like you...
But now I have come to love them and they are my best friends. If you haven't got a Titan buddy yet, I implore you to find a few. You won't regret it!
Perhaps, just like the [url=http://destiny.wikia.com/wiki/Unfriendly_Giant]Unfriendly Giant[/url], Titan players are simply misunderstood. Or perhaps a little shy (although more often than not a little overconfident).
But who could blame them? They make everything look easy, but they are really working hard to protect and look after us all.
Titans, you have my thanks and my respect. I celebrate you. I salute you.
[spoiler]And I really... [i]really[/i]... [b][u]REALLY[/u][/b]... enjoy your Disco Bubble Dance Parties![/spoiler]

Edited by Legend of Jordy: 11/7/2014 10:00:23 AMHunters? Too mainstream. There needs to be a hipster class where there is really no reason to play it other than to be a hipster.

Well said. My main toon is a titan (only level 29) and I do the raid at least three times a week - twice with the only reward being the satisfaction of helping others new to the raid!

...then I completed the VOG

I play Titan....... in every game I play I try to pick the biggest, most fire power, type there is. I don't care how slow they move. I don't have good joystick skills. I had an injury that left my left hand slow with nerve damage. So I will never be twitchy, I will never jump in the air spin around and shoot someone from half way across the map with a sniper rifle. I almost never win one on one shootouts, it can be frustrating. But I can try to play smart, I can pick classes in games that can take heavy damage, and deal it out. I don't have the patience to camp, so i usually move about the map deliberately, and hopefully you end up in front of my heavy machine gun before you can run around behind me for the easy kill. That is why I chose Titan...

We kept the forces of the Fallen at bay at the Battle of Twilights Gap. We gave the Last City another day to live on. We built the Wall that still protects it to this day. One of our own took down a Gorgon and created a shield from it's armor. He gave his life so we could defeat the Darkness that consumed him. With the return of Crota immanent, and the threat of the treacherous House of Wolves looming, humanity will need us now more than ever. Our heritage is strength, sacrifice, and mercilessness. This is why I'm a Titan.

I may be a humble striker and not quite as supporting as my defender brethren but my strength is always for the team. When there is a Minotaur bearing down on you, my flash bang will be there to turn the tide. Where there is a tight grouping of troublesome enemies, my fist of havoc will be there to thin the herd. When you need a boss distracted so you can get to safety and rest, I'll be there with my machine gun to pour lead into the bastard. Why? Because I am a Titan, and a Titan boasts not of his armor or strength, but of his valor and courage.

People think of Titans as Soldiers... But we are so much more. Imagine us as Modern Paladins, wading through the evils of the worlds and warming the hearts of our companions with gusto and honour!
-
Wow amazing. Appreciate it. I'm a Defender and love it cause it's the closest to a tank role for me. And I do not regret it. I was made to be a Tank and enjoy every min of it. Just wish the other class's had more team based abilities other than the Warlocks Song of Flame so they can experience what we Titans experience.

So you were totally prejudiced and realized that your pre-conceived conjectural notions on people, which were based on scant evidence, and more on your need to create and us vs. them mentality where, in your mind, the 'us' were naturally superior in every conceivable way were wrong when you actually met some of 'them'. And now because, the 'them' you met weren't as inferior as you initially believed, mind you, for no justifiable reason, you perceive them as not only equal, but superior in many ways because it's so surprising how wrong your initial baseless assumptions were. Astonishing. You pretty much described all the "isms" in the world.

We hold the wall, but you throw grenades from it.

The class you pick in destiny doesn't depict who you are in life. Your not smart just because you chose a warlock, not every one who is big and strong is dumb.

I thank you sir, great post! I run 2 titans and this just made my day sir. I actually just accepted an invite to the Thorny Guardians group :-) i cant join the clan because i run one myself but i would happy to help out anyone in the clan if they need. GT: SixPathxTSUNAMI Clan: MLG Infidel

I agree. I'm an awesome person and I'm so great to be around. Thanks, DCOL :)

Your insight is spot on. Most would assume Titans are bullies...but truly they are protectors....Especially with the Crest of Alpha Lupi with defender loadout.
-
I'm a 27 level Titan...in my experience Titans tend to hang around and protect, support during Strikes whereas the others all rush ahead, way ahead...often leaving me to fight through the hordes they have bypassed...they rarely operate as a unit...when they do we smash Strikes...with ease...but more often it's just me as the sole Titan feeling like I'm operating solo...so my call is to you Hunters and Warlocks...unique skills fought as One will always win...so operate like a team...after all our job as Titan is to be the end of the hammer...to sharp end...the front line...a role we are geared to handle and enjoy handling...

Like you? I'm a warlock
