People keep thinking of the 3 classes as very similar and all related when really they're 3 different things entirely. It's not like being a soldier and having 3 different loadouts. It's more like being a body guard, a professor/archeologist, and (you guessed it) a hunter.
Titans are the insurmountable walls that defended people as the great warriors and soldiers.
Warlocks are scholars so intelligent that they're brought to the brink of reality and can bend space to their will, using this as a means of protection while their primary goal is collecting and maintaining knowledge that can help defeat the darkness among other things.
And the hunters were people that had to adapt to the wilderness to survive while the major cities were being destroyed. They learned how to hunt great monsters, move lightly to avoid detection, and all around survive so you know they are good at combat and mobility.
It so just happens that since the universe is so heavily populated with enemies, everyone needs to learn how to survive. It's just that those three specific roles are very important (protecting others, gathering knowledge, and scouting/surviving).

Edited by BlackHawkDrunk: 10/23/2014 8:29:56 PMThe three classes are way too similar. The only tangible difference in any of them are the supers. The grenades & jumps are essentially shared and there's zero weapon restrictions. Bungie did a disgraceful job with class variety. Play a game like Dragon's Dogma or The Elder Scrolls if you want to see what class variety is supposed to look like.

Well all them snowflakes have just melted.

Huh? This makes no sense.

I don't think the complaint is about the idea behind them, it's about the functionality. Realistically, you have a grenade and a melee that isn't particularly different. If you boil it down, all three have a kind of nuke super (assuming nova bomb/foh/bladedancer is considered nuke) and all three have a unique. Locks have the lore-specific revive with sunsinger, Titans have the role-specific bubble, and hunters have the class-specific golden gun. But beyond that, there really is no difference. Varying levels of range and speed for Melee with specific perks. Grenades that are largely identical. I think the problem is in FPS PvP it's hard to provide a huge level of differentiation, what differentiation there is is compared to the 3 loadout system you mentioned above. It's like in CoD, you prestige and start at Level 1 with three loadouts, and even though it probably isn't ideal for your playstyle, you can wreck shop. That was the expectation, I think, so in this, when one class has something different, people cry foul. Ultimately though, I think they're as different as can be for now, but hopefully we see some big changes coming soon. I don't think it needs a complete overhaul, but I like change.

wrong, no one is a snowflake, we're all the same! if you can't understand that then there is no hope for you.

Nobody is a unique snowflake, the only way to get to a 30 is to wear one of 2 raid gear sets. Everybody looks exactly the same.

If only there was more emphasis on the classes/abilities than the shooting, you'd be so right... 😏

Edited by Sterg50: 10/20/2014 10:20:27 PMThe thing i really dont like is that while i am a titan, i dont feel much more "tanky" than hunters or warlocks. Idk if its because the equal item armor ratings across the classes or what, but i dont think the armor rating as per your character has much of an effect as it should nor does it get much higher for a titan as it could if you were a hunter or warlock with the skills that boost armor. I dont think a warlock should be able to have close to the armor rating as a titan, nor should a titan be able to have as much recovery as a warlock even if u spec ur build that way. The ability to do this kinda makes the classes lose their uniqueness for me. I feel like i have been talking in circles, but hopefully someone understands what im trying to say

But they all pretty much play the same no matter what the lore tells you.
-
Bump.
-
I don't understand how this is to do with snowflakes
-
Glad someone has an imagination. Cause they are the same thing other than the super.

What are you smoking snowflake?

Bump.
