Vanguard class
A IGN reporter said something about a class known as "Vangaurd" is this a real class, or a mix-up? If it is real is it usable at start or will be unlocked another way? or through DLC?
-
Vanguard might be like elders who the guardians serve or they can be like a sentinel type deal
-
Vanguard might be like elders who the gaurdians
-
Most likely a group of elite soldiers or prime city defenders.
-
No its the name of the armor
-
It's probably a title the way Bungie has been using it. So my guess is IGN messed it up.
-
We have three classes, warlock, hunter, Titan. Bungie has confirmed this, why do people keep asking about the vanguard?
-
Maybe they are like the marines from halo

6 RepliesThere are three classes. If vanguard was one, its been cut. But Bungie literature indicates that the Vanguard might be an information gathering or preliminary scouting organization. If you go to their info on the Cabal, it says, "Awaiting more reports from the Vanguard."
-
I think the vanguard armour a lot of people are talking about is given to you upon being appointed/promoted to the rank of vanguard and upon being promoted/appointed, you are admitted into the group, the Vanguard.
-
I'm guessing that maybe they meant Titan but said Vanguard by mistake (Mass Effect on the brain maybe?). Or, maybe it's like some sort of specialization of another class, which would be interesting.
-
I believe that a Vanguard is either a class, or status. If you try research info about Mars and Venus on Bungie.net, it says "Awaiting reports from the Vanguard" Perhaps there members of a Government, or elite soldiers of the city? Could also be the armour of elite soldiers. We shall have to wait until E3.

It's a mix up I think. Another article by another company (can't remember who, sorry) described the same story in more detail, and said Jones' character wore a "vanguard chest plate" which sounds more likely to me. Still, I guess it's possible, but I can't see the niche it would fit into.
-
I assume vanguard is like the recon class in halo
-
5 RepliesI very seriously doubt we can expect more classes but, we will DEFINITELY see more races.
-
The vanguard could be a title or some sort of class just for bungie employes, like the blue flames. This in my mind makes sense, this is because of how the info on some things on destiny are awaiting some kind of approval from the vanguard, bungie.
-
If I had to take a shot at it, I would say that a Vanguard is a higher rank appointed to people with great seniority or who have contributed in some big way, not a class. Either that, or it will be to classes what recon was to armor in halo 3- A differentiating mark between staff and gamers, that regular players could obtain on very rare occasions.
-
hmm, I've always thought of vanguard to just be an in-game term for bungie employees.

2 RepliesIgn Cleared up that report saying "playing a Titan Class with Vangaurd armour" so if you are awarded or recive a specific set of armour for the Titan, Vangaurd sound to be a sub class of Titan
-
1 ReplyI feel like Vanguard is an Association, or maybe a place such as the "watchtower from Justice League". I dont think it is a class or rank because of the quote "awaiting reports from the Vanguard"... from 'the' Vanguard.

1 Reply[quote]Mars - Awaiting reports from the Vanguard.[/quote] I'm getting the impression that Vanguard is not a class, but a rank to show veterancy. You start off as a Guardian, but as you become stronger, defeat more foes, and prove yourself, you advance to become a Vanguard.
-
It's a special forces division.

5 RepliesIt was a mixup. From Eurogamer:[quote][url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-02-17-destiny-bungie-unveils-its-shared-world-shooter]Here Staten meets Jason Jones, who plays as a Titan class, described as a "serious, straight up soldier". He's wearing a Vanguard plate. Staten is a Warlock class, a magic user of sorts. Jason greets Joe with an emote and both players head for the hangar. Here we see Jason's space ship, a black scout class built by the Dead Orbit Foundries. Joe paid for his ship by finishing every bounty the Queen of the Reef had to offer. At the press of a button both players are flying up into orbit and outer space[/url][/quote]

1 Replynot class, but a type of armor
