Destiny 2 armor design sucks

https://destinynewshub.com/crucible/new-weapons-and-armour-for-this-weeks-iron-banner/ Look at this titan armor and tell me it doesn't look stupid, with bowling balls for shoulders. Remember in D1 where shoulders molded to your shoulder and shaped around it adding realistic protection. People might say, oh they just want to be more cartoony or out their with their armour desing. Thats fine and all but it doesn't suit their overall art style which is actually more realistic and less cartoony than D1. Helmets also on some sets of armor look like they may make the titan topple over from running to quick as there is no neck support provided by the chestpiece, making the proportions look terrible. Chest pieces and shoulders also look like sheets of metal that were just hammered into shape rather than sci-fi pieces of gear from an advanced civilisation. It has been years since the red war so don't give me the excuse that "they are recovering". These pieces lack the nuts, bolts, switches and lights that made armor in D1 look so cool on some sets. Also why the hell for Titans are some sets of armor made of cloth!!!! Cloth on a flipping Titan are you serious!!!! Their whole identity if built tanks with metallic armor covering their body, why in the hell is their armor made of cloth, and even with some armor sets every thing is made of metal except the chest piece which makes no sense at all. Also why can't we have cool helmets or chest pieces that were designed after bosses like in D1 like with the darkblade helm, which looks sooooo cool. I think people are more fustrated with transmog in D2 than they were in D1 because its hard to find a good looking piece of armor, so someone must create a decent enough set from the few decent looking pieces they can find. Please whoever is designing D2 armor should just stop, none of the raid armors come close to matching the awesomness that was D1 armor from any of the raids and for any of the classes. If you looked at a raid armor in D1 you could tell which raid and from which enemy it were from. Try that in D2. Rehire whoever was designing D1 armor or fire who you have currently, or at least get them to rethink their approach to this. Fashion and making your guardian look cool, is a big reason a lot of people invest and play this game.

      • "The look of the armor is bad because I say so" Trying to make objective statements to a subjective topic.

      • You’re totally right. I watched some old D1 videos, and everyone looked way cooler Better armour design and better shaders

      • Look how bad the Io(get from Asher) armour sets are,They look like the base model that Bungie uses to create other armour sets.Who the hell at Bungie thought that putting that armour set in the game was a good idea and thought that players would like to wear it? I've never seen anyone wearing it and I've been playing almost every day since D2 launched,Its the crappiest armour set to ever be put in the game.

        • I mained warlock since the taken king, (thats when i started destiny) and D1 armor was cool. And D2 ive obviously played my warlock and stepped on legos through all the BS with the game and not really ever have i felt that any of the warlock armor looks good, other than like the EP set. And ive recently went and started playing titan cause i feel like i can make my character look cool.

          Newsflash: Most, if not all the graphics artists from D1 have left. That's why the siva stuff looks so different. It's why all the raid gear looks lame and generic. The closest thing that looks legit is the GoS gear set and that's being generous. Compare anything to the raid sets released in the last year of D1 and you'll see what I mean.

            • You know what makes even less sense to me after realising something! Look at the box armor for Saint-14 why the hell does that look like something in D1 and why does it look soooooo good and different compared to player Titan armor. Why does the design for npc armor suddenly change from the goofy aesthetic of player armor. Whoever is designing saint 14 armor should design player Titan armor like that. Small shoulder pads, neck support, not too bulky but still bulky enough to look like a built tank, and looks slim enough to realistically move around in.

            • Guess who designed D1 armor. That’s right... Activision. They’re gone now. And I would argue that there is a lot of good looking armor in destiny.

              • They obviously have the skill to create great armor but eververse gets those pieces. Game has changed and it's slowly fading.

              • Cool I would love to see your designs, so we can get some Bungie eyes on them. I mean you have much better eye for design and aesthetics so your's should be amazing. Please share!

                • I hate how the only good looking armor set for titans (sunbreak set) costs 1500 silver (15 dollars wtf man). Fuk eververse.

                    I don't really care what my guy looks like. I just want a game that's fun and where the shooting mechanics feel good. None of the other Destiny killers have compared in my opinion.

                  • The armor aesthetic is based on Japanese and Chinese medieval armor designs. ...and its Iron Banner. Which is referring back to a second DARK AGE post collapse.

                    • Totally agree. Sadly the best looking armor imo is trials of the nine and you can't even earn it any more

                        D1’s wasn’t really great either, comparatively. Outside of a couple of decent raid sets, most armor was forgettable.

                        • This has been a consistent complaint throughout the lifecycle of D2. Not just with armor, but the art style in general- ghost shells, ships, etc. Why a major shift hasn’t occurred is beyond me.

                        • Garden of Salvation armor could've been really sick looking if it didn't look so flat. It needs more geometry to it and lots more of the blue energy bits on it. It needs to look totally decked out like the Age of Triump armor with the green glowy bits all over it. Closed thing we got to that in D2 is the Solstice of Heros armor but that's not even available anymore.
