Lead Dev: Let's start with hunters. We'll give them a long, flowing cloak, with its own dynamic physics. It will have multiple art profiles: in town, the hood will be down, reveal the hunter's character, and out in the game world, it will cover the hunter's helmet and look totally boss. We can make them all different lengths, colors, styles and patterns! A hunter's choice of cloak will come to define their class, and really fulfill the player fantasy. And we'll develop a whole bunch of sub-lore surrounding them and really build on their hype!
Other Devs: Awesome! That sounds so cool! We'll get on this at once!
Random Dev: What about Titans?
Lead Dev: Oh, um, we could like, give them a loin cloth.
Other Devs: What?
Lead Dev: You know, a loin cloth. We'll recycle the cloak physics we used for hunter and just do the same thing on a much smaller scale.
Other Devs: But... a loin cloth? Really? That doesn't sound as cool...
Lead Dev: It's fine. We'll relate it to the Titan's "barbarian" player fantasy and develop all that same sub-lore like we did for hunter's cloaks.
Other Devs: Ok, I guess we can sell that...
Random Dev: What about Warlocks?
Lead Dev: *an awkward silence*
Lead Dev: Who?
Random Dev: Warlocks? Our 3rd class?
Lead Dev: I thought we were just going with two classes?
Other Devs: No, no, we're going with three.
Lead Dev: Oh... well... they can have arm bands.
Other Devs: *silence*
Random Dev: Like, cool fore-arm mounted computers, or like, dual upper arm bicep sleeves with cool paterns?
Lead Dev: No. Like, a single bicep band.
Other Devs: *silence*
Lead Dev: Like those arm bands soccer captains wear. Soccer is cool.
Random Dev: Like, on each arm though right? And maybe with automated moving parts and lights?
Lead Dev: No, like just one arm. Very small, like 2 inches wide max.
Other Devs: O...k...
Lead Dev: Like, I mean, I guess we could maybe put lights on the super rare and expensive ones. But never more than a single color. And no moving parts. That costs way to much development resources. Just throw some particles on the legendary ones. But keep it simple. Don't let them stand out. You should have to inspect the warlock to even know they are wearing a class item.
Other Devs: That kinda sounds lame compared too-
Lead Dev: I don't care. Hunter master race.
Random Dev: Maybe at least put the bands on both arms? All we would need to do is copy and pas-
Lead Dev: This meeting is over. *slams notebook and walks out*

Nice. Hunter=master race!
-
Sad part is, that same lead developer made decisions on about 70% of this game.
-
You know what this means? Half-life 3 confirmed!!!!!

2 RepliesI actually really like some of the Warlock bonds. However, I do agree that they would be way cooler if they were on both arms.
-
I don't think you know what hunter cloaks are about.
-
OMFG I CANT BREATH
-
I feel like a [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] with the New Monarchy bond, but the Emerald Light bond is -blam!-ing amazing.

You lost me at 'soccer'

Edited by Orbital Drop Shock Trooper: 1/16/2015 10:58:13 PMWatch out in Destiny 2 when Hunters gets more raggady hobo capes while Titans and Warlocks get some upgraded TRON-like technofied crazy 'look at me' attachments.

This is soooo funny haha!! Makes me want to conjure hundreds of emails tied to new bungie accounts just so I can up-vote this :D

3 RepliesEdited by RevanentShepard: 1/16/2015 8:30:27 PMI just think the warlock band is kinda... awkward. Reminds me of something out of Wolfenstein... If y'know history, you know what I'm talking about.

1 ReplySo, this post got me thinking about it. What would be a cool class item for locks? I think a great big book on their hip, with a chain or fancy strap holing it on. The legendary ones could have glowing runes and writing on them. Just my off the cuff thoughts.

[quote]I don't care. Hunter master race.[/quote] Pretty much says it all right here.
-
This!
-
....its funny. Made me laugh.

2 RepliesYeah, those armbands just doesnt get noticed, maybe they thought that the chest armor would do enough, but the armband for me just seems like a lazy idea... I mean, they're warlocks, space wizards, why not even a fire/void effect for their hands or whole body?
-
2 RepliesMan, bungie hates warlocks, xur hates warlocks, even the community hates warlocks. Rough life.
-
I use the starter cloak on my hunter. I find it 10x more boss.
-

While I agree the Hunters Class Items are best, and Titans are pretty cool, and Warlocks is kind of weird, if you are suggesting it, I do not agree with having the same arm band on both arms would be cooler. I think it is cooler on just the one arm. In terms of looks I like the Warlock Iron Banner Arm Band the most.
-
Lol nice! However, there are some really beast looking bands. However, warlocks do not petty themselves by using flashy material objects.
-
Bump for how true this is
-
Thanks for the good read.
-
How about fiery butt cloaks?
-
Spot on!! I got a good laugh. Liked~
