New Solstice Armor is -blam!-
Bungie come on please get someone new to design armor. I’m definitely skipping solstice this year. These sets are TERRIBLE subjective or not I’m sure a lot of people will agree.
PLEASE STOP WITH THE ASYMMETRICAL HUNTER ARMS
We literally say it every time you guys make hunter armor sets.

I love the set tho

that bird making the titan’s drip look fly 🥶🔥

1 ReplyHad one look at the Solstice armour ornaments. Looks like I'll be saving my Bright Dust this year.
-
Don't mind the armor ... But the helmets are terrible ..
-
2 RepliesNah this armor is ugly af. Almost as ugly as the new Titan exotic arms this season.
-
Well save you doing the event . I haven’t touched it in a few years . Same old same old

1 ReplyEdited by Tru-Zrue: 7/15/2022 4:10:37 PMThey really do suck, and the event card is a mistake. Terrible one. Edit: I’m debating on if I’ll play the event. Idky. Every year the armor look worse and worse for the event. I may/WILL have to mitch match event armor pieces.

6 RepliesArmour looks like cheeks Weapon is a reskin, n I never use handcannons Already got 3 triple 100 characters so chasing stats does nothing for me as regrinding the materials again aint happening Another event full of needless materials that don't need to be there. There might be a dust farm, might pick up an old solstice ornament set for dust, but I'll play very little. Looks like another fail At least the paid event card looks cheeks, so i don't have to drop £10

2 RepliesI'm looking forward to the event for the high stat armor, and bonfire event, sounds cool to me. I think they knocked the Warlock armor out of the park. Looks excellent to me and I'm not even primarily a Warlock. The Titan armor, why is lol there a bird nesting on his head, and the facial expression omg lol doesn't look impressed to have a bird nesting on his head. The placement of the dragons is odd,. The chest dragons look like their licking armpits. The leg Dragons lol... well you would think the titan would have a happier expression on his face from the action he is getting from those leg dragons. Why is their a horn on the hunters head, idn what's happening there, maybe it just too classy for me, but the leg piece is awesome.

3 RepliesYeah, the Solstice armor has not been great most years. They need whoever designs the Dawning armor to step in. That’s objectively on point every year, no debate.
-
1 ReplyBeing able to re-roll stats and all them slots make this armor probably the best the game will have. It can look however it wants for all I care.
-
This year and last year look absolutely terrible.
-
Just put an ordement over it. Grind out the armor for the re-roll capabilities, but change the look if you don't like it
-
At least the titan looks bad a$$ so I’m good😂. I’ve already been knowing Bungie has been falling behind on armor designs, that’s why I would change my titan at least 5 times a week to just look good.
-
I love the fact we can reroll it but I will prob be using transmog 😂
-
7 RepliesWhat’s bad about the armor? I think it looks quite nice tbh.

Edited by JazzyPaladin477: 7/15/2022 9:28:52 PMBungie has made a solstice tradition of screwing its player base on armor, like what, 5 years running now? What will it be this time 🤔 Disappearing glows? Glows only available through ever verse for extreme prices? Some sort of sunsetting? Every years players fall for the newest “pyramid scheme” that predictably blows up. This year they are even pre-screwing players with an event pass!
-
No new solstice set will compare to the 2019 one. Shame they won't update it to have a stasis glow.
-
4 RepliesIma just buy the old armor from last year. This year's armor is very much BLEH.
-
I don’t think it looks that bad, I’ll probably snag em if I have enough bright dust
-
Edited by Morakx: 7/15/2022 4:13:43 PMI mean tbh i can't say that i am unhappy about the armor looking like poo. Atleast i won't have to waste my valuable time grinding out this trash event then and can keep playing other games that are actually fun and not just a hamster wheel addiction grind fiesta :) I was honestly sad that i would maybe have had to log in for more than 5 minutes next reset lol, atleast that won't happen now with this ugly trash
-
Its not in my taste either. Look at the titan. What even is that?! Looks like a pregnant lady with swollen shoulders. Solstice style always makes me wonder what happened to the old D1 armor designers.
-
Can't see a piece amongst the the three sets that would be even as good as pieces I already have. That said, sometimes seeing a closer firsthand look and also seeing each of the Subclasses glows can make a difference. The Titan helmet - what is that, a bird? - is silly. Looks like Hunter only got one shoulder ornament - can we get a whip round to pay for the left one? Certainly nothing to feel, whoah, I gotta get that. Upgraded stat-distribution choice Armor may be the actual pull. But Bungie did a Bungie again with convoluted triple material upgrades.
-
I don’t think I ever liked Solstice armor. I’m glad I don’t like it because the EAZ is dreadful, in my opinion. My goal is to skip this event altogether. I hope it is the first of many that I skip.
-
I actually quite like this armor. It feels different from a lot of the other stuff in the game - obviously the signature solstice glows will make it more comparable to the previous sets but its still unique.

6 RepliesThose aren't great, but they're not horrible, but also, no matter what 100% of style is subjective. Every single piece of gear is equally loved and hated by different people because everybody's tastes are different. It won't be your favorite thing to read, but my only reason to comment was to add perspective to this. You may not like it, but that doesn't mean its bad or needs to go away. Criticize functionality all you want, but Bungie is also a group of people with a vision in many facets, style included. Since style is subjective, and the designer had a specific vision in mind, who are we to tell them its right or wrong? Fashion criticism is pretty pointless as it is the artist's vision, and the wearer's joy, nobody else has to approve, and no other opinion matters there. Its fine that you don't like it, that's not a big deal, but just consider it a little more openly. We're all going to have hits and misses; this one was just a miss. They can't please everyone with everything, nobody can; in fact, all of us have many more that disagree with us than those that do agree, so maybe we need to chill on things like Destiny style.
