Get out of my head!! (Destiny)

Wow, reading your post and it echos so much of my own experiences and feelings regarding the classes in Destiny!

I don't think I will ever give up maining my Hunter, that class has always just felt right for me. Stealthy and quiet (except for Cayde), deadly precision with handcannons and daggers, also love the Archery aspect of the class, and of course the cloaks. And they are smart too, more of a street-smart to the Warlock's book-smart. Mysterious, intelligent and athletic outdoorsy type that's good with his hands - sounds like a singles-ad that would catch my attention! (Don't judge me guys, I saw your forum discussion about The Exo Stranger vs Ana Bray!) LOL. Hunters are like part Ninja, part Cowboy and part Wood Elf. Like if Wyatt Earp or Doc Holiday had a child with Tauriel, but they died tragically soon after and so their baby was taken and raised by a Samurai. ((I don't know why my mind is going these places right now, I think I need to step away from the internet!))

That said.. wow Titan's are a LOT of fun to play as!
and some of the highest crucible scores I have gotten were while playing my Titan.

I think Mac summed it up beautifully though "Sometimes it's more like having a vacation home, sometimes you need time to get away from your main character and just have fun with another."

I have played Warlocks to level 20 on D1 and D2, and they have some awesome powers and some pretty robes and other garb, but the play style just wasn't for me. And truth be told I was just clumsy with the floofy "glide" that they do. I had trouble with the Titan movement for awhile too, but got better at it ...plus all the smashing things made up for it :)
I will add though (just in case Beorn and Breitzen are reading this), that I do love having Warlocks on my team. I just don't care to play as one.

THAT COSPLAY THOUGH! Wow, very nice Cosplay! and Excellent photography and artistic editing skills! You mentioned a friend took the photos, did he also do the editing or did you do that? Either way those are fantastic.

I have never cosplayed. Like you I first was tempted due to Halo. I wanted to create my Spartan. But I wasn't truly driven to take it on. Then with Destiny, and the "Hunter" class, the urge came back only much stronger. It seems easier to accomplish for a first cosplay too since much of it you can wear normal-ish clothing and it wouldn't so bulky or hard to move around in. I need some badd@ss photos like yours! But first.. I need to actually make a Hunter cosplay =P

Everything you said is spot on. Especially with the Warlocks. I just could never get the floating down, wasn't my bag.

Thanks on the cosplay compliments. My buddy shot them because he has better lighting gear than me but I did the editing. This was one of the straight-from-camera shots that wasn't used.

Funny story, I wore this out around my town for Halloween last year and had 2 people call me Darth Vader. 1 person actually recognized me as a Hunter from Destiny. Nobody else had any idea what I was. Entered a costume contest at a bar, was immediately eliminated and sat down and had a cry with a couple with amazing home made ghost buster costumes that also got eliminated. Ah well...for the love the game, not the glory, right?
