The darth vader cape is a serious problem

I would love if it was just a cool fashion option, but in trials it is genuinely really important that you be able to tell which class is which at a glance. It makes it possible to judge what their options are for approach or escape. Mistaking titans for hunters is a serious problem. And I'm already seeing people talking about using it just to obscure their sillhouette, and frankly, it works. In high pressure situations, people will mistake them for hunters, and that can lose you rounds. I don't know what the solution is to this problem, I'd hate for titans to lose the cool fashion option but it may just need to be turned off in more competitive modes like trials and comp.

  • Then we also need to look at Hunters making themselves look like Titans. Which would mean making Hunters wear capes 24/7 in comp modes.

          Bit of a non issue as everyone plays Hunter in PVP🤣 Edit: Hunters are so strong in PVP that even looking like one causes problems 🤣

          • Yeah I don’t see why not. Personally I identify enemies based on their loadout but that wouldn’t work good in trials. It’s fine when I’m in scrimms because you know there is one 120 and one sniper per team.

[quote]Mistaking titans for hunters is a serious problem. And I'm already seeing people talking about using it just to obscure their sillhouette, and frankly, it works.[/quote] Most people can figure out the difference between a hunter and titan. Especially when the game not only shows you what each player on the enemy team looks like but the names of the armor they are wearing, what weapons they are using, and most importantly, the super they are using. If you're relying on just appearance to tell you what class someone is, then this is 100% a you problem. [quote]In high pressure situations, people will mistake them for hunters, and that can lose you rounds.[/quote] If someone's appearance is the deciding factor on if you lose a fight or not, then it definitely means you weren't going to win it in the first place. There's even this thing right at the top of the screen during the matches that even tells you who's alive, what super they have on, and if it's charged or not. So many things that clearly tell you what class someone is using without just relying on appearance, which still isn't hard to distinguish. [quote]I don't know what the solution is to this problem, I'd hate for titans to lose the cool fashion option but it may just need to be turned off in more competitive modes like trials and comp.[/quote] The solution is to simply use your own eyes. Bungie isn't going to do anything about yours or anyone else's issue of not using your eyes to look at literally anything that will tell you what class someone is playing.

            • I mean we've reached critical mass of crossover slop. This will get worse and worse because MONEY, the art style and vision for destiny started rotting away the moment D2 launched.

Never really been an issue, so I don’t see this as an issue either. The armor is still unique to the class.

              • You can’t be serious … to be that petty over a simple cosmetic. Titans have been asking for capes for years.

                    • Loadout appears in Trials. Supers also appear for both teams in your HUD so you can quickly work out what you are (likely) facing. Most Hunter cloaks aren't nearly as 'neat' looking as the Darth Vader one. Watch the jump. Always play with the assumption that your opponent will have something to mess you up, regardless of class, and aim to mess them up first. You are, unless someone has got a hyperfocused ability spam build, more likely to get taken out by the gun play than any ability.

                      • Capeless hunters have been a thing for years. Why is it a problem when Titans can do something similar.

                        • I mean, you can see what you're up against in the intro screen. If someone is going to go through the trouble of loadout/dress swapping to obsure their likeness, which might net them a round or a kill - more power to them. Although, I've nver been thrown off by a cloakless hunter and thought it was something else, I've absolutely bamboozled players with the titan helmet during festival of the lost.

                          • No, just no. Crying over this but nobody bats an eye when the prep helm on the hunter removes the cloak entirely when paired with 2 certain head covering cloaks, Take the downvote.

                              • When cosmetics interfere with skill. Next up on the Skelly show, this no good Hunter wannabe Titan confused our guest in a game of Trials. Skeletor confronts this Titan to find out what is really going on... Stay tuned to find out!!! People still play Trials jeez where's the Tegridy - Randy Marsh

                                Should be removed for pvp just another dumb decision by bungie who literally refuses to let you shader an exotic weapon or put an legendary ornament on an exotic armor piece because being able to identify classes or armor but allows a Cape on a titan in trials and pvp But maybe it's a good thing atleast it makes it easy to see the idiots that wasted there money on pre ordering
