D1 had the passion that the effort was put into the designs for the entire 3 years. When I see gear like the gear in the link that 90% of the gear in D2 is like this, it's part of the reason I won't even bother with the raids in D2 or have any interest in wanting to collect most of the gear in this game. https://gamerant.com/destiny-2-shadowkeep-armor-weapon/ [spoiler]D2 was a pushed out product and they are still treating it that way 2 years later. The other day I was comparing sparrows between D1 and D2 and it's not just how poorly a lot of them are designed in D2, it's also how there is 5 maybe even 6 if not more of the exact same sparrows in each category. All Bungie did was change the name, paint job or the speed, and even though it's still the exact same design on a lot of them, and they did this with the ships as well? they called it adding loot to the game instead of actually creating new sparrows/ships. We have triple the duplicates in this game vs actual new loot. But, I'm taking this further and this alone upsets me on how lazy this company has become...[/spoiler] In D1 the sound effect and visual effects gave that incentive to want to acquire the sparrows and a few of them have their own unique sounds and visual effects, like the one that is from D1 that you can acquire for the Solstice armor. Even in Y1 of D1 Bungie offered a Void, Solar and Arc Drive so you could change the trail of the sparrow. In D2 for 2 years now they haven't done diddly-squat that (all the sparrows sound the same with barely anything unique about them.) Hell, I thought maybe the mini sparrow might have something unique about it. Nope! it's just a tiny sparrow with the same lazy effort put into 90% of the cosmetics in this entire game that they can be called a copy and paste. The thing about this, I didn't even go into detail about how lazy the designs are for the gear. Edit: Meanwhile, over at Twitter/Reddit... "Oh Bungie, you're doing a great job on designing the gear and all the in-game loot". Thank you loyal fan! Will keep putting in that effort you expect us too...

I agree. I feel like it went from a Dark Sci-Fi look to more of a Pixar-ish look. What the hell with the Shadowkeep armor? I think that is the stupidest looking armor I’ve seen so far and I’m going to have to be forced to wear stuff like that? I hope there’s some decent armor.

The whole engine is lacking, definetly liked D1 art style more, D2 is too bright, colorful and cartoonist looking. Actually wouldnt be surprised if we got rainbows, glitter and unicorns added in.

I played a lot more D2 than D1 but there were definitely a lot of better looking sets in the first game. For me the Titan armour just got overly bulky in D2, and the variety in Warlock robes just disappeared with the sequel (they all became just a bit too dress-like) Personally i'd like bungie to take some design cues from Star Wars, having the Titan armour looking a bit more like the Clone Troopers (or possibly Delta Squad from Republic Commando) with the Warlocks having slightly more Jedi-ish robes. Aside from that they really need some more interesting Bonds, Marks and Cloaks for our characters.

im adding a post to this thread cuz bungie needs to hear it Look at what i found (Bungie even knows D1 armour is better looking) D2 warock menagerie set https://i.redd.it/vf3w3ubvuy331.jpg Bungie mixed and matched 2 armour sets from destiny 1 and put it into the mengarie Destiny 1 Azoth Bend 1 Set (they took the helmet) https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwj9mamopf3jAhWRDGMBHWK-BGwQjRx6BAgBEAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2FDestinyTheGame%2Fcomments%2F8z80gi%2Fcan_we_have_old_destiny_1_warlock_armor_back%2F&psig=AOvVaw27AEA3Y1szBhPfAuYvANlo&ust=1565697873104624 Destiny 1 iron regalia set (they took the robes) https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2F1e%2F5d%2Fab%2F1e5dab0b379985200998cd8faa8f9ee3.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fpin%2F407786941237480692%2F&docid=bWM1LvBhneQ0yM&tbnid=A9tpec6du4MevM%3A&vet=10ahUKEwibnOOVpv3jAhXPNcAKHShxD_AQMwhPKAkwCQ..i&w=705&h=940&safe=strict&bih=597&biw=1242&q=destiny%201%20iron%20regalia%20set&ved=0ahUKEwibnOOVpv3jAhXPNcAKHShxD_AQMwhPKAkwCQ&iact=mrc&uact=8 my request is Add all the old armour D1 sets into destiny 2 as loot drops for playing the game im getting fed up with tangled web,scatter horn,prodigal drops. This game doesnt have enough armour good looking ones either

get the -blam!- out of here no one cares about looks, maybe they should fix the game befroe the armor

Can bungie just add good old recon from halo for like titans or something 😂

Dude like everytime I see the D1 armor, I feel like crying. Here we are with D2 with loads and loads of trash while leaving all of that beautiful gear behind.

It will change soon with Shadowkeep I promise you. But... you will have to pay for really cool armor and... this is actually good. You would vote by your money.

Do warlocks HAVE to wear dresses? Can Titans please not HAVE to wear beer kegs on their shoulders? Spikes. Everywhere. Why? That statue of liberty warlock hat is beyond ridiculous. Some variety and customization is long overdue. I hope the new system is as advertised. Can have the look AND the perks you want without sacrifices.

I'd you want to look good you have to pay. I'm interested how the eververse armor ornaments will explode post shadow keep (calling it now).
