Can the name Warlock be changed? (For two reasons)

1. I am a Christian and the word Warlock brings up connotations of witchcraft, spells, and frankly dark and Satanic power. Obviously in the game, the Warlocks are warrior scholars of the light fighting against the darkness. And I love how their powers are very scientific and Traveler focused with the use of Void (universe) and actual sun-shaped grenades. It is definitely a unique class, but one that just does not link up with the name, Warlock. 2. Warlock seems to restrict the class to males, since Warlocks can be seen as male witches. None of the other classes only sound like they appeal to one gender. So for greater inclusion of both genders to choose this class, the name change could be made. I can see this very cool and unique class being called something like a Sage or Scholar, so that it doesn't have any harmful and sinful connections to dark arts, which really should not be taken lightly. Once again, I am a Christian and I am saying that beause that is my worldview and where this post is coming from.

  • Im going to have to change my opinion, and lend my full support to this thread. I would like to see the warlocks name changed asap. I would also like to see all guns removed from the game. There are a lot of people who do not support ownership or use of guns, and this game could be very offensive to them if they play it. Any earth locations should be removed or renamed too. There could be people of Russian heritage who do not appreciate the run down depiction of their homeland in the future. The name Rasputin definitely needs to be removed. It refers to a Russian peasant famously know as a good friend to the tsar of Russia, and more notably a mystical faith healer, believed to have healed the tsarinas young son multiple times through prayer alone. I enjoy this game, and would like to see everyone have an equal opportunity to enjoy it, without fear of offense to anyone.

      • Buddy, I am a Christian as well. And I am fully aware of the word Warlock. But Christianity doesn't say you can't know anything related to magic, you being able to do those kind of things is your family's Convictions, there are 3 things a Person most think about. Is this a 1.Law (such as the 10 commandments) 2. Convictions (what do I believe is right and wrong) and 3. Preferences (such as what music do I listen to) honestly my conviction is there are limits to magic such as Harry Potter, but Warlocks and the whole rest of the idea, in my opinion is something that very well could be possible in the future. So you may convict that is something you don't want to mess with, but does that mean Christians can't play destiny, NO. Does that mean destiny should ruin the games of others, because of your convictions, I think not!

        • First off, Christian? Second, why change the name of a class that has been around since the launch of the game? People will shoot this down and make fun of you just because you say you have a religion. The names interest me, but next time for your own safety, dot mention you have a religion if you want positive results. Nuff said

        • Fu*k you kid, quit imposing your religious beliefs on the game. This game wasn't made for you or your dumb religion they're not changing the name of the warlock class, plus your other names you suggested are F'ing stupid.

                Jesus the JEW was patrolling cosmodrome....he stumbles upon an abandoned shipyard. He comes across Randal The Vandal, and his cave. He got invited inside and there was a chest! Jesus, turned and looked but Randal went outside the cave to walk his shanks. Jesus opened the chest and stole Randal's spinmetal and glimmer. The shanks come in , Jesus summons the power of the suns and burns them with solar flares. Randal hears the clank of the shanks falling to the ground. Randal comes back and OHKO Jesus right in the face. Jesus...started his journey to the heavens and on his way there he remembered something.. FIREBORN! Jesus, a warlock himself, self resurrects ! He shed his jewness and became a christian! He ran out of the cave like an angel with wings of fire throwing solar flares and bashing randal with his fiery fist. Moral - None, was bored.

                    • you really need to set your own religion aside and actually do some googling to find out precisely what a warlock really is. then perhaps you'll understand. based on your post. you clearly don't have a shred of a clue what a warlock actually is.. or very little of witchcraft in general.. again.. do some searching w/ google before you just go trying to get others to conform to your own narrow minded opinions.

                      • Your first point makes no sense. We all know deep down that the greatest and most important thing in life is the continued worship and devotion to our dark father, Satan. If anything, Slayer should start playing when a Satan-lock pops his super Satan power.

                      • I'm pretty sure the word sage has connections to druids and paganism, so you may not want that word. Scholars often try and teach Evil-lution, so you probably don't want that word either. Given that all of the mythos in this game revolves around gods, why does the name warlock offend you, but the fact that you are going to fight a 'god' in every other strike/raid after being resurrected by a god not bother you?

                        • Gender is a social construct. There are male witches, of course there are female warlocks. The religion thing makes my head hurt from eye rolling.

                          • Unfortunately, one single religious view cannot be the dictating reason to change the name of the class. Although Warlock may be considered a male witch, in many other tales these type of characters are both good and bad. Plus, religion cannot force it's beliefs on others and therefore you must choose to either accept the game as is or not play it because of your beliefs. I'm a Christian as well and I don't think this has any bearing on the fantasy world created here.
