About that hunter armor .... (Destiny)

by Kermit @, Raleigh, NC, Wednesday, March 23, 2016, 17:39 (3261 days ago)

Everything I've had time to see today looks cool, but whenever I see a hunter she's wearing that horrid Kellhunter armor. I've got a Destiny hoarding problem, but not with that stuff. From the nipple vents, ridiculously spiked elbows, weird netted Lederhosen, and nobbly knees, I despised it. (The helmet was okay, in an arachnid kind of way.)

Anyone spot anything new for hunters?

Looks like this update is going to provide mostly just infusion fodder for me.

Considering they showed the same type of armor for all three in the TWAB last week, I imagine we'll get more than just the Taken Kellhunter armor. Just look at the Titan and Warlock armor they showed off in the stream to see what kinds of other designs hunters might get as well.

That's Taken armor? Didn't know that. I assumed it was an Taken shader.

I assume it's armor (it's a little too perfect for the current quality of shader, even class armor is being 100% affected by it), but either way if you look at this image:

They show that type of armor for all three classes, so I imagine each class is getting at least two new sets of armor (based on the fact we've seen the Fallen style armor for all three, and then a different set of armor for the other two classes).

Although I will say that that armor will look REALLY weird if you mix it with any other armor. Which is why I'm banking on a shader. But again, they normally don't show off shaders as the cool new thing.

Except maybe this shader is unique?

At least it's harder to make out the nipple vents.

Maybe it doesn't glow unless you get all the pieces? Like the SRL armor set from the Record Book? But yeah, I could see it being either.

I do have to say it would be cool to Taken-ify any set of armor.

All I've got to say is, I'm glad that friendly fire is disabled in Destiny.

Is it beyond incongruent to anyone else that you can't hurt your teammates, but you can totally hurt (or kill) YOURSELF with those same munitions?! O_o

Nah, I can hurt them just fine

Sparrow fling them until they either go mad or drop off some cliff!

;p

Yes, while I get why we can hurt ourselves (prevent kamikaze strategies from being risk-free) and why we can't hurt our buddies (griefing would be off the charts), I am quite annoyed we get both...

my money is on "shader"

by CruelLEGACEY @, Toronto, Wednesday, March 23, 2016, 19:44 (3261 days ago) @ Xenos

I'm betting it is the shader that bungie applies to all Taken character models. The way the tone fades across the character models looks like something that is applied to the model globally rather than piece by piece. Although it would be kind of cool if that was the new armor's default color :)

Yeah, but if that is the default color for the armor, how would you even use a shader on that? not at all?
