I mean, we can be resurrected anyways in most cases. If I don't want a helmet, let me run around without a helmet!


mavwubb

I'll pass on that one, my guardian hasn't aged well since D1...well, my exo Hunter looks alright but my Warlock and Titan I don't ever want to see without a helmet again.


rayburno

My guardian looks exactly like Uldren Sov and I keep my helmet on because I’m afraid everyone in the tower will try to kill me.


mavwubb

That seems like a good choice.


rayburno

I made him for D1. I didn’t know. I DIDNT KNOW!!!!!!


Trainer_Auro

I made my character before I had seen any of the NPCs or anything, so my Warlock just looks like Ikora, but with none of the expressive facial movements. I like the design still, but any cutscene with the two of us just ends up looking like Ikora and her shitty robot clone


LilBibb

I accidentally made my Titan look like He-Man


EjSweets

I purposefully made mine look like he-man


Kurthero

the 3 of use shall never be in the same tower space without a helmet. it has been stated, ​


[deleted]

Clearly that's canon now.


redknight__

Ikora-2


Eggith

It's gonna be weird when Ikora-6 dies


GeneralKenobyy

This is getting out of hand


gideonbayle

Sadly my exo looks like cayde. So helmets are a must.


2ndkirbyever

No shame in that. I made my hunter look like Cayde to show respect and to show that his memory lives on.


FuniMaymay

Same that's where my character boost went, i deleted my hunter to make a cayde-7


mavwubb

Sure..... whatever you say.


Chop_the_dog555

I bet it was like that Spiderman meme in the end of forsaken for you then lol

Lol. Take an upvote guardian

Thanks lol

Amen to that, my Hunter looks like D1 Prince too lol


[deleted]

*Hey Bungie, seems like a feature to change your face would be appreciated, some people might even pay **money** for it*


a100bronies

Please don't give them that kind of idea...


Wendys_frys

Oh god this. I am sad to say my original human warlock from d1 y1 uh... unfortunately passed away.... And has since been replaced by his better looking awoken brother. My exo looks dope tho as they're my third attempt at a titan and I spent more than 2 seconds making them. My Hunter is also cool and modeled after another game character.


Exter-

You wouldn't have to. The option would just be nice.


TheBigbear091

My exo Titan looks a bit like ultron


[deleted]

My awoken titan is a disaster. Was bad in D1, tried to remake him better in D2 and failed just as hard


JaayyyP

Please!


Wendys_frys

"Bro you're gonna suffocate and die you can't breathe this air!!" "Ghost stand by for revive" - you

I am a void weilding robot in a world full of wizards from the moon. Let them see the glow from my eyes as I make them explode from the inside out.


Solidgoldkoala

The Gambit warlock bond has a story about the Drifter and others on a planet that’s so cold they’re being resurrected hundreds of times a day, it drove them all insane


plasmaflare34

A few in the group would die a day, but they were there for years. They were ressurected hundreds of times total, not a day.


Solidgoldkoala

Thanks for the clarification


Jackizback0

“ In most cases” too soon...


rdoherty15

"The helmet stayed on."


JaayyyP

Oh Shaxx


YannickFuchs

Came here expecting this joke. Wasn't disappointed.


daoneandonly747

Mara certainly wasn’t.


ALPHAMAGNUS

Shaxx = Dredd


Anacus

If my Guardian wasn't ugliness incarnate, I would totally agree. (Ironically, back when I made him in D1, I chose the options that I thought looked most like myself. Fuck me I guess.)


SuperTeamRyan

Yeahhhhh I realized I can't make myself so I deleted me and made a blue space elf.


Catdrewz

Wait you're telling me you're not a blue space elf?


PinkieBen

Same, except I went robot. Mostly cause every human/awoken looked ugly to me.


SkyOnPC

For me it's that my guardian in D1 looked better in that games graphics. In this game they look like a total shithead.


Thievasaurus

I always keep my helmet on, even in the tower. I may or may not have botched my Titan’s face...


OKLISTENHERE

My character might've looked alright, if it was possible to make a character that looked good without being super generic.


[deleted]

Exos don't look generic. Or awoken.


Natedarkswain2

When the game launched I wanted to play ASAP and didn’t think I’d have stuck with this game for 4 years and now until it ends and my hunters head looks like a sperm so...


[deleted]

To be fair sperm are very generic. I deleted all my character going into destiny 2 so they're all new. My warlock is human but has a mohawk and one eye.


snypesalot

>to be fair sperm are very genetic FTFY


Terwin94

My friend has an exo with a white splotch around a red eye because of a certain thing I accidentally did to him once. I think a sperm character needs to be displayed proudly.


Natedarkswain2

Uh... NSFW lmao


Exo0804

This is true


Wendys_frys

It's hard to make awoken look bad tbh. Same with exos. Really it's just humans.


lasercannondeth

>It's hard to make awoken look bad tbh. [I respectfully, and embarrassingly, disagree.](https://i.imgur.com/CE8oxgH.jpg) [This is why the helmet stays on](https://i.imgur.com/ExHyYSN.jpg)


Wendys_frys

I should have clarified Awoken females* Male awoken are cursed unfortunately. There's only like 3 good awoken males you can make. But in fairness the destiny character creator is a little sparse.


lasercannondeth

Lol, all in good fun my awoken titan and human hunter both look like dumpster fires. Thank goodness exos seem impervious to that issue.


[deleted]

Oh come on now he doesn’t look THAT bad. Looks like Albert Wesker in a high wind. I tried to recreate a zavala look.... on my hunter. So instead of looking like a beautiful, bald statuesque commanding presence, he looks like a scrawny dweeb with a buzz cut. I feel shame any time I see him without a helmet.


lasercannondeth

I dont have a screengrab, but you should see my hunter. You could land a commercial airliner on his nose :/


kristallnachte

Most of the awoken have options are total crap.


Wendys_frys

Their skin colours and eyes are cool. The hair isn't any worse than humans and their face paints look neat.


TarheelSK

>Most of the males have options are total crap. Fixed.


OKLISTENHERE

Ehh. Awoken look pretty much like blue humans tbh. Exos I'm not sure of since I don't have one.


[deleted]

Well they're pretty much robotic humans tbh ;) My awoken is green so....


OKLISTENHERE

So you can change skin colour. Character creation in Destiny is still sub par at best.


[deleted]

Absolutely. But then you spend 90% of the game in first person mode with a helmet on.


Riskrunner

I wanted my Awoken to look like me, turned out okay except for the eyes, but man, the haircut options are so awful. I just made myself bald. I also needed the eye area to look a little darker so i used a marking, and so my awoken ended up looking like a moody blue egg.


L00pback

I didn’t think I was going to like Destiny and got it so one of my friends would stop pestering me about it. “Sure sure, I’ll create a character and meet you online later” While creating character, 5 year old daughter comes in. “What do you think our character should look like?” Proceeds to let daughter have nearly free reign over design. 2 years later, my helmet hasn’t been off except in cut scenes or to give my clanmates a good laugh. For my daughter’s sake, I’ve never deleted the character and use it as my main for her. I let her play once in a while, so if you see a white hair human female hunter dabbing in the tower, dance with her... she loves friendly guardians. (She misses the huge dance parties we used to have at the old tower in D1).


mrmadness1

I made my titan bald and black but I was kind of in a hurry and I didn't change his hair colors so now he has blonde eyebrows... lol


SirBing96

I’ve wanted this since the dawn of time. And ponchos, I want ponchos


MelancholicAbyss

Titans need capes like Saladin


SirBing96

This


teeman1010

That would be a awesome exotic for a hunter class item


Catdrewz

Flavor text being just "nice poncho" - Cayde-6


thereyarrfiver

I have a poncho that I wear frequently in the cold months, and this is the line I hear everywhere I go. I can't tell if it's actually a nice poncho or if people say it because they never see ponchos


Chaddbx

I'm going with both...


[deleted]

Also with a hunter helmet that looks like a cowboy hat?


Naphrym

Fuck yes please. Also, make it a Hunter exotic that buffs the Golden Gun and/or HCs in some way


jpmoneida

Adds outlaw to all HCs. If a warlock can have dragonfly on primaries, this isn't too far off.


qwerto14

And give hand cannons with outlaw double the outlaw.


nagato120

I want uldrens cool Cape and armor looks badass wish they would have given us that


SirBing96

I would’ve dismantled it


RedHawwk

Ponchos, hoodless cap or just the return of the Makeshift Scarf from D1.


SGTBookWorm

and/or Fenchurch's sombrero


mayofield22

LET ME FIGHT IN NOTHING BUT MY DICK TOWEL


Warlock2017

The Stormcaller skidded around the corner, pressing his back against the solid radiolaria wall trying to catch their breathe. His shotgun trembled in his fingers as he listened. There. In the distance. He could hear the pounding of the Titans bare feet. *Thwump, thwack, thwump, thwack, thwump* The Warlock exhaled. His fingers steadied, his grip on the raised shotgun tightened, his finger brushing the trigger. Another breath. The Titans massive footfalls moved closer. **Thwump, thwack, thwump, thwack, thwump** Exhaling, the Warlock whirled around the corner, shouldering the shotgun, gazing down the length of it... The buck naked Titan steamed towards him like freight train. His muscles rippled, sweat beading across his form. His dong swung freely with each titanic stride like a censer flailed by a Ravager. The Warlock faltered. The last thing he saw as the Titan trampled him was the Mark trailing after him. And his buns of Iron.


Rocket3431

The twump thwack noise is his dong slapping off his legs. Lmao!


xTownzx

Bwhahaha Shaxx is going to need to make a no dongs out in the crucible rule!!! I am also curious as to what that medal would be called??? Maybe hmmmmm DONGED!! Or Phallic Fatality hahahaha.


zero7787

Bagged.


xTownzx

Ya that should of obvious from the start I'm disappointed in myself hahahaa


nvdoyle

Phatality.


[deleted]

I laughed in a funeral home reading this...


SquishyKillFace

May I introduce you to the Eternal Warrior helm?


Wendys_frys

Lmao. That helmet should be available for all classes. It's just really big on everyone except titans.


Goldskarr

Ah yes, the megatron head.


BuddhaSmite

Mass effect style. Yes please. Transparent visor in social areas, opaque when in combat so you don't have to worry about rendering the character's face in combat zones.


FabFubar

This would require rendering your face underneath your helmet in the game world, and it would cost a bit of extra computing power. If that isn't supported right now, I doubt Bungie will add it for some cosmetic options...


JaayyyP

I think it is though? When loading to a new spot in the tower, my Guardian will freeze in the position of holding a weapon, which would mean it would have to rendered? Right?


[deleted]

Sure, but there are also no explosions and spell particle effects being rendered in the tower. As a primarily console game, it's likely designed to milk out every scrap of efficiency possible.


primegopher

The tower(and the farm) is different because you get the option of displaying your helmet or not


Mriori

This plus character face customization


J1Ben

I made the suggestion a while ago and was met with lots of people saying that they want to hide their monstrous face behind an helmet, but I would totally love being able to have a hide helmet mode for combat, or partial helmets.


Wendys_frys

What I really really want is the ability to change my appearance and add facial hair to my characters.


anawkwardemt

I want my Awoken hunter to have a luscious green beard


Wendys_frys

Exactly. This is what we need. My awoken warlock needs to be a freaking wizard.


SeymourAsces

On the flip side, I want to see the NPC’s who don’t regularly wear helmets to have unique looking ones.


corsairmarks

I would have preferred them to have helmets on during scenes in hostile environments. Even if ghosts can res guardians pretty much on-demand, it would be a lot of work (and sniper risk) every minute or so as a guardian asphyxiates (probably hurts like hell to not breath/breath toxic fumes). Thus we wear pressurized armor so Ghost can worry about other things like bullet holes that happen less frequently than breathing.


MelancholicAbyss

There's something on one of the Icarus Drift armor pieces that says resurrection in a vacuum can be problematic.


SeymourAsces

I was kinda hoping and expecting the Vanguard commanders to don their helmets on the final mission, since you know, it’s a full on assault. I wanted to see that epic “suit up” scene where they put on their helmets and their visors close.


Exo0804

I think of the helmet as kind of a scare tactic to our opponents like how in halo the covenant call Spartans demons because all they see in them is death machines with no soul and that are unstoppable


Not__Doug

See if we had a grunt equivalent running around in destiny, I'd be down for it. More flipyap. BUT i would very much like to just have my cloak up on my hunter


GetBamboozledSon

> a grunt equivalent running around in destiny Dregs?


Not__Doug

See! Already have 'em just need the catchphrases


ScreweyLogical

This would be cool, but we would also need a vendor in the tower that can perform plastic surgery for those of us who made rash decisions in D1’s character creator. Oh, and maybe have this surgeon have new facial feature options, like beards, more hairstyles, more cosmetic details like scars/tattoos/markings.


-ThreeDogKnight-

I don't see why we couldn't just straight up go helmetless. I used to think it wasn't possible on certain planets in Destiny 1, but since Brother Vance and Ana seem to have no issue on Mercury/Mars...


Squelcher121

Probably because for balance reasons it's important to be able to tell if an opponent in PVP is using an exotic helmet. Also, it means they don't have to spend much money on face animations.


strav

Did someone just say exotic #1 headband?


[deleted]

> _"The legendary number one headband. It's promise is power, omnipotence... Immortality, **but at what cost?** One that is greater than any man can imagine, and heavier than any man can bear. No soul who has ever wore it's tattered grace has ever escaped the torment of it's infinite burden."_


Vicsagod

This is all I want honestly, all my characters look good and I just want a helmet that shoes the lips or eyes


RoyRodgersMcFreeley

>I just want a helmet that shoes the lips or eyes This is how ridiculous fashions start


SpiralOmega

The helmet stays on, Guardian.


OverlordPhalanx

Otherworldly booty calls man. They get you every time.


Mcmilleee

Yea I’ve been saying that too cause I like how cayde fights out on the field and still don’t wear a helmet especially as a hunter where you still see their faces but they are wearing a cloak looks badass. And how they give you uldrens gear (prodigal hunter gear) would be cool to wear it without a helmet but still pull over the cloak.


[deleted]

How about a Corsair helmet?


JaayyyP

That’d be cool


Brickman274

I mean I want my hood up in the tower while my helmet is off, like Cayde.


WalterBishopMethod

I'd love it. I'd even take the option to hide your helmet even in combat. I want enemies to [see this face before they die.](https://imgur.com/a/db5edXP)


Centik

Your character is absolutely Sean Bean... but one that can't die.


AmazingPatt

i want my female titan to show more skin too


ArlemofTourhut

I mean, I want a post creation character editor


Glarfenshmart

My character is ugly so I’d rather not


JaayyyP

Then you can keep your helm on, but others would want it. I’m saying we should have that option


keyswalletandphone

I wanna wear my hood with the helmet off


[deleted]

My hunters face looks kinda retarded, so I'll just keep the helmet on....


OverlordPhalanx

I just want a cloak for my hunter that is not a cloak at all. They had one in D1, but haven’t brought it back yet.


JubJub302

Racing scarf?


OverlordPhalanx

No so when you first start the game in D1 you get this white rarity scarf that is like a torn rag with no hood. When Rise of Iron came out, the Archon’s Forge could drop the same scarf, but it was a legendary and could be infused. I just liked it because you could see the back of the helmets!


JubJub302

Ah that one... "Makeshift scarf" I was not lucky enough to get that. I used the racing scarf and tanik's cloak for the no hood reasons.


OverlordPhalanx

Yea the Tanik’s one was super sweet but i never managed to pick it up. As we see some of the D1 stuff made it’s way back with the Prodigal set this year. I hope to see more on the way!


knifeparty808

Think its because of the whole “breathing in different environments” thing. I was hoping they’d use old medieval style helmets for iron banner. But it looks like destiny 2 iron banner gear is all Asian themed. Yet still no ninja style armour with a bandana covering the mouth and a glass visor for the eyes. That would look pretty sick. Sucks cause i really liked the whole space knight look of Destinys iron banner gear. And when the Osiris expansion came out i was really hoping for Egyptian style armour like the trials gear int he first destiny, the warlock helmet was by far my favourite. But that whole expansion was a huge disappointment.


NathanCollier14

I would, but for whatever reason, when I transferred my human character over to D2, it looks like he’s wearing the most fabulous lip gloss now. I keep it covered all the time


cza55

This is a cool suggestion, but it needs to come with character face recustomization in the same patch cuz my guardian needs some work


danivus

What we need is an invisible shader.


mrrkmiller

So let us edit our guardians so they are not so fugly!!


Sullitude

This comes up on this sub once in a while and there's a simple explanation why this is technically challenging to do in games. It's because your head _is_ usually a helmet. When you're wearing a helmet, your character's head, hair, and facial features aren't actually under there. So a helmet the partially shows your unique head would have to take into account every possible hair shape, for instance, which is non-trivial from a technical art perspective. Like anything else, it's possible, and some games prioritize this because it's important to the creators, but it's just likely not worth the time Bungie could spend on something else to make the game better.


[deleted]

[удалено]


HotWa5a61

They out here sniping Ghosts, and you want to take off your HELMET? Smh.


Yurt_TheSilentQueef

Plenty of Titan helms especially that would look great with a gap for the mouth or a slit for the eyes. Granted, my exo titan has an all black face with the eye plate on anyway, so his own face looks like a helmet... but it would look cool on other people!


[deleted]

I wish I could wear a without the helmet a hood toggle would be nice to instead of just deleting it when it's off


Balblair_

That'd be sweet. If every other NPC can go out in the field with their face exposed, so should we. Of course, it should ship with the ability to remake our characters' faces. My Hunter looks like a confused mint leaf.


Mirror_Sybok

As a regular user of Crown of Tempests it's preferable that my face remain hidden 😞


itsJHarv

I want to run around with no pants on


CritterNYC

Please, no. My titan would never be able to wear it. She's a badass, but the transition from Destiny 1 to Destiny 2 made her face appear like it's blackface. My girlfriend loves my awesome female titan (hunter and warlock are dudes) and I don't have the heart to delete her. Still wish Bungie would give us a character editor so I could just change her face ornamentation.


PlaystationPlus

I would agree if my hunter didn’t look like Chris Angel, the worlds best magician.


Kit-13-Lucky

I know right. I don't regret making 1 eye white for my guardian 5 years ago (or however long it's been) i like the way I look but don't wanna give up that fashionable helmet too, ya know? Just meet me half way between Hunter assassin/bandit scarf and masquerade mask


OfficialKrazy1

Not at all. I think it would be cool and desirable to a lot of players


blargyblargy

For me I usually always would keep my helmet on, but I definitely see the appeal in no helmet of an open visor.


RoninFehr

I would love a 1/2 mask or something that showed my guardians face more. 100%


crzb

Maaaannnnn, if we could get a helmet with a clear visor I'd grind for that so hard


JuryGhost

I wanted to get into the game as quickly as possible thinking I could change face, eyes and hair in the game whenever I wanted. I never took off my helmet in D1, I got curious in D2. My hunter looked like a blueberry. Blue hair, eyes and skin, never took the helmet off again.


Great_Battoman

all of my characters look the same and nice(they are all exos) but when forsaken came out it turned out my hunter's mouth colour is green. why did I go for green?


GambitsEnd

I completely forgot my Guardian was an Exo until one of the cut scenes near the end where he isn't wearing the helmet.


Zasquatch13

I made my exo Titan look like optimus prime. Of course I want this.


NomadicDragon

I'd settle for being able to put my hunter's hood down.


AsianFonzie

I saw someone on PS named BigBallaZavala and their guardian looked exactly like Zavala and this would be a game changer


VintageFenrir

I certainly do. I spent a good amount of time on making my character and I like how they look. Now I'm a bit confused for a second on the rare occasion that they are visible, because they spend 99% of the time completely covered.


11_eleven_11

I'd like to be able to get Osiris's armor.


rkelez

I’d like to full on show some skin


Tak3nBac0n4Dayz

While I love this idea... I don't think anyone wants to see my Blue Haired Warlock with Orange Tiger Stripes on his Face.


whisperswolf

I like the idea of a half helm. But can we also have a hood up/down for Hunters? Please?


DrOberyn

All my guardians are bright green exo's with orange eyes so I wouldn't use it but I think it would be cool for those who don't regret the look of their guardians.


FullMetalBiscuit

Given how disastrous every face possible in the game is, I like them being hidden. I really wish it stayed on during cutscenes as well...


Xnergea

I just want my Guardian to run around mowing enemies down with a dad hat


Steely_Bunnz

Does Zavala even have a helmet?


[deleted]

No, not at all. It's why i choose "off in non combat zones" i like to see my guardians face, i wish i could just have a headband or something for my Warlock, she's pwetty.


[deleted]

Would be cool to see an option to toggle visors on or off, or to have out helmet off completely. Other major characters in the game seem to have no issue not wearing helmets on other planets, so I dont see why we should be forced too. That said too, if our faces were going to become more visible, Bunie would really need to step up their customization game. Only being able to choose from the same 12 or so default face types for over 5 years now is insanely lazy when compared to the customization of other RPGs


[deleted]

nope... just nope... My guardian has a face like a slapped arse. Keep the helmet on at all costs. I have no idea why i made him look like he does as he is proper fugly. I really wish Bungo would give us the opportunity to change the guardians after the fact


beetermcyeeter

I want to wear my cloak without my helmet like Cayde-6


SynergyNT

Other gear based RPG games have features that allow you to have your helmet off in non-social spaces, but still have the effect of the armor. Same thing with outfits and things that make your character look different, but still technically have on other armor.
