Armor in d2 looks weird compared to D1
Anyone have an explanation for why in beyond light our armor had backpacks and radios on them other than for just pure atheistic purposes? It looks stupid it doesn’t make sense at all. Our ghost transmats our equipment from our ship we don’t need a damn backpack and our ghost also allows guardians to communicate so there’s no need for a radio. This is just a small example of how the armor in d2 looks weird and doesn’t even fit the universe.
Look at the classic gear in D1. Nothing in d2 even looks similar. In D2 titan arms are ridiculously large and blocky. Literally looks like the art style changed for no reason. What happened to having futuristic looking space suits with gritty armor plated pieces of gear that makes sense? Every new set seems overindulgent. I don’t think a guardian would wear the set we got this season lol. Go watch the first vi doc for destiny when they first revealed the game along with all the cool concept art. D2 doesn’t even look like the same game😂. All the gear looked futuristic while at the same time looking weathered and old. D2 all the gear looks random as hell and everything has a chrome like shine to it with no true style. This goes down all the way to the lighting in the game which is another problem I have. Way too much contrast. Everything is too dark and too bright at the same time. And the lighting system is so weird that my gun is completely blacked out in a shadow half the time. I love not being able to see my guns that’s dope. The lighting is just too strong. If there’s a blue light in a room in destiny, the whole room is blue. Am I crazy or does anyone get what I’m trying to say lmao

Armor and ornaments we got now don’t come close to the ones we had in age of triumphs in destiny 1 💯🔥👌🙏

1 ReplyD2 style has only been a downgrade How did we go from glowhoo To nohoo

2 RepliesAbsolutely horrid, the only decent armour was from escalation protocol..well in my eyes anyways the rest is hot trash.

D1 had a space horror survival movie vibe. D2 feels like a comics...

1 ReplyEdited by RTshadows: 3/5/2021 6:27:00 PMTo add, D1 really sealed in the “on the fringes, post-apocalypse” feel. Everything was cohesive from the color scheme, lighting, and armor design to really bring that feeling home, a futuristic super soldier/Demi-god that’s defending what little humanity has left. Now, everything is so damn flamboyant and bright; almost feeling like a final fantasy game at times with the coloring and armor that’s coming out. Everything is so happy-go-lucky and doesn’t feel like humanity is literally defending the only city left in the entire galaxy and didn’t almost get wiped off the face of the galaxy by the cabal. Half the time I’m thinking to myself, “if I was my guardian, would I really wear into battle?” Almost feeling like, a Halloween costume contest at times.

3 RepliesAfter playing the game since beta I'm convinced there's a pretty deliberate effort to make the majority of armor kind of meh only for the best sets to then show up in eververse. They want you to want that armor and the way to do it is to not make it comparible to something you get from playing.

I NEED Deathsinger’s Gaze to return to D2. Favorite helmet ever.

3 RepliesD2 armor lacks flare. Chroma and ornaments from D1 were great and just enhanced the look. Most ornaments in D2 make it look the same but just a little more complex. And most of all I miss my animated FWC helmet for my hunter

I appreciate all of you being chill there was some good discussion on this post lmao

Made it work on my Titan lmfao

Edited by MC 077 Lasombra: 3/6/2021 12:23:30 PMYeah I’ve practically given up on D2 Titan armor. I’m wearing the clothing ornaments, minus the trash bag of a Titan mark, and don’t see myself changing it up. I like the side hip marks and most leg armor clips through it. They make way too many skirts and ugly shoulders. Besides the Dino armor, that looks cool. Will wear that too if it wins and comes out.

I like the backpacks, Hunter has easily the one I'd like on my Titan.

4 RepliesEdited by NitoAndTheFunkyBunch: 3/3/2021 8:26:56 PMits because there is no "normal" armor. Everything, including world drops, is themed. In D1, world drop armor would get you standard looking gear. Now you get a mix of faction armor, seasonal sets, and tangled shore gear. Even the core modes are heavily themed towards their respective activities when they don't need to be. Most of these armor sets make sense in the world, but it is the lack of normal gear which doesn't make sense. As for the explanation: Many in game armor sets weren't meant for guardians. The Europa gear was made for colonists on eventide. Lighting may be something you can fix in the settings. Look at HDR (Hell, some of the sets considered weird were in D1 [url]https://external-preview.redd.it/6xdcmPINbBXJYyYlArrabI_wSbHHnHE2JbyfoDmuKSU.jpg?auto=webp&s=a643c13ed6a803393e890ec56cae2a2be8fc7146[/url])

1 ReplyFor real though none of us look badass with chrome like shaders on y’all need to stop that😂😂 we used to look so dope in D1 I’m telling you. Everyone in the tower had armor that told a story about what they do in the game. Now we all have eververse ornaments on.

Do you remember the Titan armor 'Thagomizers' from D1? I think that and the airplane helmet designs from Prison of the Elders based on Fallen spider tanks was a gateway to the chunky chad look that titans got in D2. I keep hoping they'll either make NEW iron banner armor, or bring back the D1 IB designs. I'd also love to wear the Snoglare set, understated but elegant. Instead D2 Titan armor make me feel like a 40k spacemarine that was redesigned for ages 3 to 5 in bright Vanguard orange and issued in suits that look like poorly fitted plastic and foam action toys. Pls Bungie. Titan armor. And others....could be better. .....as far as dinos or monsters? Why not Jurassic Monsters? Or Monster Dinosaurs?..... ...if it has to be a monster, can it be more exciting than a cyclops with THICC fur legs? Could a get a Wendigo or something a bit more exotic? Oh....last thing. Since Anthem is basically dead, could you (Bungie) snag some of their shader and texture design artists or engineers? They did great at that at least. Alot of my current D2 shaders don't work well on various types of armor, or their 4 shade block seems to lie about what actually applies to the armor.

1 ReplyEdited by Mark, Scholar of Stars: 3/4/2021 12:57:49 PMIt's game art, and that's subjective, like it or not. Speaking of subjective, I'm not a friend of the last two season pass ornaments for the three classes, even though it's very artistic. I prefer "form follows function", also in a video game. There should be meaning behind it, not just art.

1 ReplyEdited by Olórin: 3/4/2021 10:37:28 AMThe thing about D2 armour appearance, i personally find is that they look great but then you have those design decisions that makes the appearance go overboard. Knocking the look from 'this looks pretty good' to 'okay thats a little too much and OTT'. Like what we have now with the egg head designs and all the 'balls' attached to the helmets and shoulders of the chest pieces. Even in D1 there was a point where Bungie just loved giving every helmet a long pointy horn. Then again, its all just personal preferences, im the type of guy that prefers a more simplistic look (My Warlock main Char. Looks casual af).

1 ReplyEdited by R Y U K E R リューカー: 3/4/2021 10:25:57 AMI suppose this is a somewhat subjective topic as people have different tastes. What I would say is, if a character isn’t identifiable by its silhouette, the design isn’t strong enough. Maybe that’s something Bungie should keep in mind. Sometimes I feel like they don’t know how to create something original so they glue a bunch of random stuff to the sets. Some of the silhouettes are awful, especially the Titans. As for Warlocks, they seem to have totally forgotten how to do anything original. Some of the D1 Warlock sets ranged from shamanistic occultists to futuristic mad scientist; I loved that but there are few sets that convey that anymore. There are a few sets I like. I thought the BA sets were cool and most of the recent pay walled sets. I also think they tried to make something genuinely endgame looking with the DSC sets.

1 ReplyD2 armor feels flat and lifeless. D1 armor felt geometry and texture rich.
-
I know a lot of people always bring up the raid gear with the ornaments which without a doubt are dope but IMO I think the normal sets of armor even down to the green and blue random ass pieces all look better than what we have in d2. For some reason it’s not letting me post pictures I wish I could point out some examples of what I’m talking about

2 RepliesOk, hear me out, but can we get the Spektar armor set back, with all the Chroma jazz? I got the Iron Man shader, but I need the set maaan. I want to Thundercrash on a Warlock and get frozen mid-air in style!

1 ReplyI kind of miss my old kings fall raid armor for the hunter. The rise of iron stuff was pretty cool too.

1 ReplyI think the core of the issue is that they’re leaning way too far into the “fantasy” part of science fantasy, and disregarding the “science” part.

2 RepliesEdited by Crota Prime: 3/5/2021 1:25:00 AMI really miss OG Iron Banner armor. Edit: That statement above is incorrect in that I meant to simply say “I miss some of the classic D1 armor from the Iron Banner” as the original D1 armor was the Iron Regalia set.
