D1 raid armor ornaments from Age of Triumph have still yet to be topped in my opinion. They looked insane and I’m proud to own all of them.
That's for sure man
Agreed wrath is my favorite with weldfire and nanophenix ship
Solstice armor d2 is the closest we’ve gotten but even that is not as cool as the triumph ornaments.
They made a Master mode for Kingsfall but did not bring back the Age of Triumph ornaments. The master version is pointless.
@@the-art-of-whoopinyobehind6666 my best guess is there waiting till crota comes back as a dungeon and when wrath returns in lightfall. That way all the d1 raids will be in game and one big update will bring the better armor
Taking damage while wearing the age of triumph crota armor caused the green glowing parts to break off and would grow back as your health regenerated. Insane detail.
FR and now that its back in D2 they kept it and I love it!
Destiny 1 armor just fits better. Like, it seems the artists who made D1 armor understood the world and style better. Where as in D2, they have so many crazy ideas going in different directions. That’s not a bad thing, because it provides more variety for people, but it takes away destiny’s unique flavor.
Definitely agree
That l is incredibly true
Part of the reason I'm so excited to see what Chris Barrett the D1 art director is working on next for Bungie
In D1, all the armour looked like it fit together which created the ability to use almost any armour piece and it look good with another. Exceptions apply to raid armour and stuff because they're genuinely unique.
D2 sets to me just are hideous😂 not every set but most every set especially Titans... They ruined the way Titans look in D2
A good thing about D1 armor is that even the common armor looked good. It had some nice tactical stuff for each class
Dude some blue warlock armor looked so good with glow on it, sometimes I would keep a set of it just to look good in pvp. Forget the set name.
@@Crimsomreaf5555 Lmao dude we have literal purple armor sets in d2 that are literally blue sets from d1. The prodigal set for example😂.
The age of triumph ornaments honestly may never be defeated in my opinion. D1s ornaments were meant to seriously spice up armor, and they created some of the craziest looks in destiny.
I’ll never forget when I brought my friend who had previously only played D2 into D1. I put on the ornamented kings Fall warlock helmet and his IMMEDIATE reaction was “what exotic is that?”
D2 armor is getting tiring at this point. Don’t get me wrong we still get some great armor but I think it’s time for a return to basics. Give us some nice, symmetrical and more importantly SIMPLE armors. D2 Armor nowdays is so cluttered with bits and bobs and it looks so overdesigned.
Also Wrath Warlock gang ftw I love looking like an 8th grade geometry project :D
I remember going into a raid with an LFG group and all of them drooling over my ornamented Titan Crota armor. The holographic green horns were nuts.
I know this isn't important but one of the biggest changes to the armor from d1 to d2 is that female guardians lost their boobs lol even the kings fall/vog armor that returned had boobies in d1 but in d2 it's just flat
I use the veritas chest, legs, and arms, with the vow of the disciple mark, and loreley splendor for my titan with the ensilvered snare shader, it looks really cool. But I can not for the life of me make a good looking warlock
@@nezarecdiscipleofthewitnes3823 I hate how alot of armor for titans Is straight up boob armor... On a male titan btw
@@NateTheGreat368 male warlock also has a dumptruck
This is simply... beautiful.
D1 armor felt much more like an armor, not a lot of round shapes, based around some enemies or destination, went as far as giving you VEX LEGS. It was just on another level.
We need more of that sci-fi style that made actual sense.
I mean having a vex body part is... canon
@@dez112701 it makes sense the armors good just sounds like u don't like it
I agree with most but I think we can all agree…..Destiny 1 armor was 1K times better than anything in D2. Any Iron Banner armor from D1 trumps D2 armor of any kind! (IMO). You nailed it when you said the armor better fit the aesthetics of what Destiny felt like to most of us. I miss that game. Those were the days
I have to disagree, most IB armor from d1 does outclass most armor from d2, I believe S3 and S4 Iron banner armor looked on par with IB armor from d1.
I feel fantasy style fits Destiny very well. It's just that D2 armor and proportions always look a bit off compared to D1 models, especially the asymmetrical ones, even armor brought back from D1 looks more gameyfied in D2.
So I don't know if those difference are only change in artistic choice and in-engine or a combination of those plus strange designs. There are some D2 sets that stand out but a majority of those are from the eververse or are vaulted content designs, I really loved the black armory sets for example . I think they need to overhaul the creation aspect of our characters as well and let us have more options to customization across the board.
But that's a lot of work.
I think there could be a lot of more neat armor sets in D2 as endgame rewards and for example RNG strike exclusive ornaments since we now have transmog.
Now that they almost have back the development resources lost with the interrupted collaboration with Vicarious Visions and High Moon Studios, I think we could see something like that in 1-2 years.
Noted that many that designed D1 armor were contractors and still work with Bungie on some of the D2 sets, and many are in-house and are extremely talented, they have some of the best people in the Industry in art and design and could very likely replicate the success of AoT armor sets
The ones that stand out are usually locked behind paywalls. Most of the good looking and decent sets are in Eververse.
Man I miss this destiny
Same
I would love to see all D1 armor come back to D2.
The Vault of Glass titan armor is my personal favorite, especially with the glasshouse exotic helmet.
I completely agree with you regarding d2 armor. I hate how 99% of hunter armor looks so I really only switch between the old gambit cowboy gear or the luxe set from the eververse. As far as d1 goes, you never caught me without the crota armor. Just beautiful imo
I would definitely agree with you on the armor in destiny 1 having the upper hand for sure… not to mention the amazing benefit of adding glow which for some reason has not been brought into destiny 2. I do feel though there are a lot of armor sets in destiny 2 that live up to the quality dominating destiny one guardian appearance. I’d say that would be a cool video to see on the channel, destiny 2 armor sets and combinations that give that nice look and feel of destiny 1 style armor👍
They need to bring age of triumph armor back, maybe as a reward for raid hard mode
Exactly what I'm saying..I don't hate or knock on bungie bringing back the old d1 raids,I missed them tbh. But they really missed the mark when it comes to master modes.
It’s a real disappointment that VoG didn’t have its age of triumph armor in D2.
Same with kings fall. Both VOG&KF master modes could've brought back the AOT sets as like unlockable ornament sets for completing each encounter challenges. Totems give you headpiece. Warpriest chestpiece. Golgorath arms.
Daughters:legs.
Oryx challenge finally gives you the class ornament.
Same could've been the same with vog.
Crota's End Warlock set has to be my favorite
It’s definitely amazing
I still play D1 because of how much cool armor there is to collect. D2 does not have that same gameplay loop. D2 has most of the good cosmetics behind eververse. D1 has so much unique gear that is themed around the enemies and fits better in the universe like you were saying. I love the phogoth gauntlets for the hunter. All the strike specific armor was amazing. I wish D2 just brought all that stuff over. Imagine if our D1 armor was in the collections tab so we could transmog it.
I remember watching a Taken fireteam pop into a crucible 6v6 game and it freaked me out watching three taken guardians just demolishing the enemy team.
And now i have a wishlist for Taken armor sets if they ever return.
That’s awesome lol
Surprisingly, I really like the Crucible Y3 set for Titans. You can match with the Palindrome. My favorite thing to do is put the ‘Changston De Geste’ shader on (Crucible Y2) and match with the Hawksaw. And I don’t even main Titan. Good times. Good video, November.
Glad you enjoyed! A lot of the vendor gear did look great as well. Honestly there’s very few sets that don’t look good. Most armor looked good in both sets and mix and matching.
It's such a crime they never brought back the age of triumph armour with the reprised raids.
The people that play destiny have a better idea of how destiny armor should look like than the devs imo. I feel like that calls for a major change on just the general aesthetic of the game but whatevs
Still waiting for the day we go back to d1 raid armor design
I loved the style of d1 ship weapons and armor were really cool
Man I remember how dissapointing it was to have the fantastic Age of Triumph armor in the game, then a few months later get the Leviathan armor. It didn't look bad, but AOT set my expectations sky high
agreed
I just love everything abt d1
The D1 vault ornaments would fit so well with the season of dawn ornaments. Hope they come back one day
They really need to bring back a lot of stuff from d1 to d2 especially all the ib stuff and d2 trials should have launched with y3 trials weapons.
Just running through the titan armour set and hearing the top 5 I am beyond shocked that the age of triumph set wasnt on there for the titan.
I had 2 age of triumph sets for the titan? Which one are you referring to
@@NovemberHotel the one that gave the set the particle affects from wraith
@@boyd.c204 wrath of the machine? i personally like that set but not in my top 5
Titan D2 armor is literally just make the character look as wide as you possibly can and it pisses me off as a Titan main. I wish I could get my D1 armor back.
Would love for the Siva armor to come back, especially as an ornament.
We definitely have a bit different taste, but you’re right D1 armor just looked so nice. Love all of these sets even though my order would be a bit different lol
Oh nah having year 3 trials warlock over year 1 is crazy
Haha to each their own. I like them both equally I’d say but the ornaments looked sick for y3 trials.
@@NovemberHotel
At least we can agree on the Crota’s End Warlock set lol
@@crazynoob159 yes. That set is perfect lol
I loved the I wear my prey aspect, it just felt so cool. the taken armor was by far my favorite.
D1 armor sets fits cutscenes and the theme of the worlds especially comparing your character to vendors you just fit in the world armor.
D2 armor just doesn't look right especially compare your character to the look of vendors it just doesn't look right like seeing a bright green glowing Titan or Hunter or the weird ugly look of Warlocks.
The vog legs for the hunter for age of triumph was and still is dope to me. Honestly the vog ornaments for the hunter made it my favorite look outside of the OG trials set
Most titan armor sets are way too bulky and the arms for warlocks dont matter for 99% of the time. They all look the same and dont determine your shoulders like how they did in destiny 1.
I miss the D1 armor sets. The last cool raid set i can think of is from DSC.
I think one major problem with d2 armor is that there isn’t an actual female armor
Yes. That’s super unfortunate
Hunters weee dumb thicc in d1
Seeing cool armour actually meant something back in the day, you were someone that grinded hard to get all the pieces from the raid and the ornaments on top, easily weeks of work. Nowadays though in D2 you see some cool armour you don’t know if they got it from some random eververse or battle pass drop or weeks of grinding in a raid.
Dunno man my mix and match titan with a hot pink shader do look kinda 🔥
🤢🤮
I know these are your favorites Im just so genuinely suprised the last Trials armor set for hunters wasnt in your top 3 it was so clean and so beautiful and easy to pull off
I love the hunter vog armor with the ornaments turning one of your legs into a vex leg
Like the Destiny 1 song you were playing in the background, tranquillity it’s one of my favorites
Mine too
Looked only “pretty” good? D1’s raid armor from Age of Triumph tops every other armor set in Destiny 2🤣
The mech armor for festival of the lost this year proves to me that bungie forgot how to make good looking armor like this
I miss the year 1 vendor armor for hunter, the justicars set from new monarchy is peek destiny armor for me, especially the helmet.
7:43 I'm not gonna lie I think I almost cried looking at this.
Nostalgia kicking me hard right now.
Iron companion is still one of my all time favorites, and I wore that helmet 90% of the time.
Destiny 2 armor is pretty good but d1 armor was something else
The kings rise of iron warlock gear is my most treasured gear. So many shaders look soooooo good on that set.
3:14
That is the Best looking armour I have ever seen in Destiny 1 and 2.
It looks amazing
I still want the red coat with the crescent on the collar to come back
Thank you, I fully agree.
Destiny 2 has some good armor sets, and you can try to make something resembling a D1 look...but overall, it shows generally how Destiny shifted from Sci-fi with Fantasy Elements to Space Fantasy. Not just armor wise, but with how guns look too, a lot of Destiny 2 weapons, especially seasonal stuff, is very out there and fantastical. I miss the D1 aesthetics.
We did go from fighting aliens to fighting beings straight out of Bloodborne
I’m so glad your still making D1 content even now!! It’s been a blast to look back at the armor sets and reminds me I still had 2 sets u mention during age of triumph that I need to get myself!
in my opinion destiny 1 armor is better all around than D2, some really cool sets !!
The last Trials armor from D1 with the ornaments should definitely be in the top 5
completely agree
Titan desolate set looks insane
Excellent choices
My Two Favorite armor sets for Warlock is the Spectre Armor and the Dawning Crystalline Armor set…especially with candle light and Beowulf shaders
The thing I love about Warlock in D1 is how every chest piece is an actual coat rather than a few strips of cloth like some sets in D2. I enjoy more grounded armor (hell, my style in FFXIV proves this. My Machinist legit wears the Noir long coat added in patch 6.2).
I also miss the armor being themed around the enemy races. Root of Nightmares to me had some meh looking armor but thats only because of how flashy it is which isn't my style
0:18 I wish they would bring that new monarchy armor set to d2 it was my favorite
Iron companion was my favorite for titan as well. I NEED that helm and chest back in d2
My favourite Warlock set was the iron lord ornament set, because it made me look like a titan
Why they didn’t add the age of triumph ornaments for master raids in d2 is beyond me
As a warlock main, the Age of Triumph Crota ornaments and the 380 Wrath of the machine armor set are my absolute favorites
The “Dead Light” warlock set from Dead Orbit
Omg that music, I stay at tower just to listen it
Well good news the taken king iron banner armor is coming back! As a hunter this is my dream come true!
My favorite armor wasnt necesarrily a set, it was usually a combo of my favorite individual pieces. For me my 2 favorite pieces of armor hands down across all classes would be the first SRL events hunter helmet and cloak. The helmet made it so any normal cloak worn would have its hoodie part of the cloak removed, turns your cloaks into capes essentially. And the cloak was like everyones favorite vex cloaks from that one strike. There was a red blue and purple one for each element. This SRL one however was much more subtle and only came in blue. The cool thing with it was that no matter what helmet you wore, you would no longer have a hoodie part up on that helmet.
These 2 pieces alone made my hunter dramatically stand out compared to ppl without either piece equipped. It just opened up tons of cool looking armor combinations. I love the look of a hunter with a helme and no cloak over the helm idk why.
I was never super huge into the ornaments, they all got a little overboard. A bunch of guardians flying around without organs in their chest but instead a giant hole with a flame floating inside of it. I can have suspension of disbelief or whatever going on while i play the game. But when i start seeing 90% of players with a giant hole in their chest i start disconnecting from my immersion just a smidge.
TLDR: Today in destiny 1 my armor is completely dictated by the perks and stat rolls. Im basically attempting for 100% god rolls with my favorite perks. Ive basically deleted anything that i only have because of its asthetics. The only exceptions to this rule are like max 3-4 pieces of armor for each class that ill wear if im 1v1ing someone and i need a handicap essentially. Something to tank my stats on purpose.
Tfw you realize that the "Tangled Web" sets from Forsaken are literally just the POE sets
Yep. Bungie been reskinning d1 content for the entirety of d2
@@NovemberHotel for me, is jyst the fact that I remember some of the reskinned stuff but some others, such as POE/TW I'd forgotten. I guess it provides some sort of continuity, even if a little disappointing, eh?
@@stephensylvarwolf7940 true. Just unfortunate to see so much stuff reskinned.
@@NovemberHotel indeed
I loved every armor set, miss it so much but my personal favorite is probably year 3 trails set
I get the strange feeling that destiny 2 will get its own age of triumphs just before the second collapse
@1:07 I completely agree, dragons shadow is the worst offender on that front.
The titan TKK Iron banner set was stunning to look at. Especially with KINGS FALL hard shader.
D2 needs to implement some special raid armor ornaments. Maybe like after completing all the master challenges or even the seal make the reward ornaments not a sparrow or ship, making the armor looks based of the raid environment or even off the bosses, not only would it give more meaning to completing these seals but even players who dont bother attempting master raids will give it a chance. The sad thing is if they were to do this they've already missed out on the big ones like last wish, garden and so on.
I feel good to remember this ones, but also bad because the majority is inaccessible currently in the game.
Sad my favorites weren't here. Taken King IB Warlock armor is still slept on probably the best helmet we have. And Kings Fall ornament for Warlock were probably my #1 overall set
Man this video was bittersweet. Seeing some of the best armor designs ever brought back the good memories. And then knowing I was going back to D2 made me slightly hate how my character looked. Like for real, the amount of weapons, armor sets and exotics that have been recycled into D2 why have they never put the Taken King banner sets back in? Would make the headache that is D2 Iron Banner actually worth it.
Bungie really dropped the ball not using the triumph raid ornaments as the default or hard raid armor sets in D2
Id like to say that d2 has quite a lot of bangers armorwise. I really like a lot of the fantastical armor because honestly if you've been alive for as long as some guardians have, i wouldnt be suprised if they had some wild shit. I love both games and pretty much all armor in both though.
9:29 yessa i loved this armor so much. Glad to see it here. Id gladly drop money for this one in D2
Taken King Armour sets all looked amazing. By far the blue glow version. But I would also take the Taken Armour sets to be cool too
I wish the Iron Banner House of Wolves armor set will be brought back into D2
I cant remember the last time I actually used the transmit system because I never felt like wanting to use any of the newer armor.
I enjoyed this video, well put together.
I agree with all your rankings but you forgot one thing. King's Fall Warlock armorset (AoT) is the best armorset in the history of everything, the helmet itself is the best looking helmet in all of destiny and the reason why I main warlock
I literally am wearing the Iron Companion Armor set for my titan (The Taken King Ib) The helmet and chest is by far the greatest set ive ever had and this is coming from a Hunter Main 😂
Age of Triumph vog hunter set option 1 with shimmer is still my go too and the iron banner armor I enjoyed mixing pieces. tho I miss strength of the pack cloak with chatterwhite.
i just wish we had the same small detail in D2 on the armor, like if you got hit with the Crota armor that the green glowy thing would go away and regenerate.,
The new monarchy spektar set for titan is by far the best looking spektar set
i never played D1 and started D2 during S14 and man, I want more of the titan armor with gear strapped to it/sci fi tacticool stuff. Feels harder to come by in D2, but I see it a lot on screenshots of D1.
At least that lightfall armor seems to fit that niche.
I'm still waiting for a taken armor set in D2. Even if they didn't allow shaders on it, I'd wear that 100% of the time guaranteed
I disagree with most of these. I think there are much better sets and I just do not understand why people like iron banner armor in D1 or D2. that titan helmet is just goofy with the little tassel on the top.
How often do l make jokes about chemistry? Periodically.
Honestly the Vow of the disciple raid armor really gave me d1 vibes again. It really felt like they were tryna capture that feel again, they didn't get it perfectly but it's much better than previous raid armor imo
Nah I gotta hella disagree.
The hunter doesn't even look like a hunter
@@AdrianRodriguez-zs1lo fair enough
i honestly miss the D1 shader system. As someone whose been in the Destiny fashion community for awhile, trying to make good looking sets on D2 can take hours because all the different armor pieces can shade differently the same shader. Trying to get all the tones right and the colors to match just right on D2 is a pain in the ass. In D1 you at least new all the armor would be the same colors
I always wonder where d1 armor designers went. God they looked fantastic.
I definitely liked the aesthetic of destiny when it was scifi with a splash of fantasy, rather than fantasy in space.
The Warlocks Kings fall AoT helmet is literally the sexiest piece of gear for all classes in both games...and im a titan main
Ngl, love to see some of them come back into D2, we have the Trials sets, but love to see the other D1 Trials armor sets and Iron Banner armor sets into D2, along with new armor sets for D2, so yeah
I miss my d1 age of triumph vog h7nter armor the robot leg was just a top tier piece of armor
Year 3 trials Hunter was my favorite. That cloak was so good..
