Let's have a chat about Class Implementation in Destiny

While the [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwOUi4JDC4o]Pathways out of Darkness Vidoc[/url] gave us a good introduction to the basic premise for Destiny's Universe and the guiding vision for its gameplay, it did a wonderful job at dancing around any kind of the nitty gritty core gameplay information that I was hoping to hear about. There are a lot of questions in my mind that can truly only be answered with time, but for the present, the trailer has given us a wealth of topics that we can discuss. Today, I plan on covering my current thoughts for how Classes might be implemented in the Destiny Universe. Currently we know of at least four different Class Archetypes in Destiny. The original three are the Hunters, the Warlocks, and the Titans, pictured above at the top of the post. The fourth class, Vanguard, was offhandedly mentioned in an anecdote from Joe Staten that appeared in an IGN Article, some discoveries about that can be read [url=http://www.bungie.net/en-us/Groups/Post?id=59840076&groupId=19148]here[/url]. Despite all this, we do not know what impact classes have on gameplay, or what role each class is supposed to fulfill on the battlefield, or how classes can evolve and become customizable as the character grows in strength. Here is where our Speculation begins. I should also mention that this thread is an experiment on ways to streamline large walls of text with Bungie.next. The rest of the rather lengthy original post is contained in the comments, by clicking the link below you can read the entire original post uninterrupted. Please let me know what you think!

  • I dont know if anyone has noticed, but in the Pathways vidoc at about 2:30 they start to talk about characters and then show 5 separate pics of different characters. Now i suppose that 2 of them could just be variations, but that would seem to be illogical to me. in my opinion those are each a pic of the 5 different classes we will see to start, then each one of them branching into separate sub classes or specializations.
