Why do titans always get big ass shoulder pads?
Does anyone else think the designers should get away from the big ass 80’s shoulder pads on every piece of Titan armor?

For the same reason Warlocks keep getting dresses.

I do agree they should slim down the armor design for titans. The characters being so refrigerator-like is kinda annoying.
-
Because they're the tanks. Oh wait and they're the mobility class. Oh wait and they have the best supers. Welp.

Someone on Bungie’s design team has a shoulder kink [spoiler]I don’t blame them but reel it in[/spoiler]
-
yeah, even cade-6 agrees if you hang around him long enough in the hanger. so i guess bungie purposefully made them ugly for some stupid reason.

I didn't mind it until I played D2 and realized my Titan looked like a Buzz Lightyear.

4 RepliesIt's to encourage you to use your Synthoceps which have comparatively sleek early 90s size shoulder pads.

Someone at Bungie has a shoulder fetish.

3 RepliesHell even the 80s werent that bad

I dont mind them being big, as a titan has the sholder chrage it makes sense that they have quite large shoulders, but nothing stupid like the EoW raid shoulders... what the hell is with that! i would say i like the broad shoulder look, but not MASSIVE ass stupid looking things...

2 RepliesPretty much [i]all[/i] of the gear for Titans, Hunters and Warlocks look absolutely pitiful in D2, when compared to how gear looked for them in D1. And people wonder why I run the same gear that you start the game with...

3 RepliesEdited by CatMan: 5/1/2018 4:53:58 PMTitans look fatter in general. Playing D1 and my Titan look good. I guess Bungie wanted the guardians to look more different. Thing is, you'd have to be blind or stupid not to be able to tell the guardians apart in D1. In D2? Huge shoulders Titans, hard to tell male from female guardians (w helmets on, stances, build, no boobs.. sns), ninjs hunters with women's leggings and camel toe boots. They need to fix it all. Hell they need to fix the humans faces. Black guardians look like white people doing black face wtf.

2 RepliesAgreed. This is the reason why I cant ever bring myself to use any other gauntlets beside the Lost Pacifics. Would really like to see smaller design choices in the future.

Someone's gotta carry other Guardians through Nightfalls. If not a broad shouldered Titan, then who?

I think it's yet another homage to 40k. There are tonnes in the game.

4 RepliesEdited by ace_man2011: 5/1/2018 4:58:02 PMTitan was the first class I picked in D1. To me it just looked and sounded so much better than the other 2 classes. D2 Titans are still my favorite but still don't compare to how good they looked in D1. I'm not a fan of the huge shoulder pads. Armor in general in my opinion was better looking in D1. I'd spend alot of time just trying on different armor sets with different shaders. I also like the shaders better in D1.

Edited by autistic_lion22: 5/2/2018 3:04:14 PMIt would look better if they made the ratio from shoulder to head bigger. Titans don't have necks so that's one problem. The shoulder size is disturbing, but the shoulders are too high up with the head which makes us look like apes. They need to change it to where we still have broad shoulders, the neck is muscular, and still puts distance between the shoulders and neck, it would look alot better form the back too.

1 ReplyAin’t it funny that D2 armor up to this point follows the same silhouette? People’s complaints about the Titan armor alludes to a much bigger problem at Bungie: the lack of creativity. At this point in D1, we had a variety in armor as least as cosmetics go, whereas now, it seems like it’s reskins galore. Speaking of reskins, it’s funny that the majority of Titan class items are this same front-and-back loincloth, yet most people I’ve seen (until I stopped playing) rocked the Binary Phoenix Titan mark. I’m like “they can’t even reskin the thing people like!” That may seem like a small issue, but it points to another issue with Bungie: how out of touch they are with their players.

bad designers

No Backup Plans = Best looking gauntlets ...I need 'em back if I ever want to play Titan

Edited by iDovahBear: 5/2/2018 1:41:07 PMPersonally I've always been biased towards the large shoulder pads, although most of D2's designs are still questionable. The idea of wearing big pauldrons is that you're a tank. You armor is a wall, not mere clothing or accessories. [i]A wall.[/i] A physical construct designed to obstruct enemy firepower. Wearing armor that looks like I'm wearing a modern infantry unit's uniform is exactly what I DO NOT want in my Titan armor design. If you like that look, that's fine I guess, but I honestly think that would be a shallow pool of designs to pull from. Plus then we'd look less distinctive in the Crucible compared to others. Hunters are easy to discern based on the Cloak, Warlocks stand out because they're the only cloth-based designs w/o a Cloak. Then there's Titans, who basically have the only true 'armor' in their class design. The big shoulder pieces are a byproduct of that armored/tank aesthetic most people want out of an MMORPG-like setting. Destiny 2 isn't really an MMORPG, I don't even know if I'd call it an RPG. But it still draws on these elements and on fans who're deeply enthralled by those kinds of video games, so it stands to reason they should emulate some of those heavily armored concepts for their class that most resembles a 'tank'. Especially considering that Hunters will obviously pull on elements borrowed from Rogue/Assassin sources for inspiration, and Warlocks will inevitably pull on Wizard/Sorcerer vibes. It's to be expected. They could definitely tone it down, but for a Titan, the most distinctive pieces of armor we wear are generally the Helmet and Gauntlets combined: Together they form the heavy-armored head-to-toe aesthetic that makes a Titan's silhouette look so dauntless compared to others. If we looked like Average GI Joe's instead, it'd honestly kill what little the class has going for it at the moment.

Edited by FixtusBlack: 5/2/2018 1:17:19 PMThere are a lot of excessively large shoulder pieces across all classes. What really annoys me are the asymmetrical ones where one shoulder is ludicrously huge and the other shoulder is completely normal. I wish they would knock it off. EDIT: I actually have found pretty much all of the armor in D2 to be fairly visually unappealing in genera. I hope we get some cool looking loot to chase in Warmind.
-
Because they're inspired by Roman armor?

Mate, Madonna!

Yup in D1 one of the best armour sets I found for my female titan was the WotM armour, most other armour was bad
