New Trials armor
Alright, folks, time for a brief overview of WHY the Trials armors next season look the way they do and a lesson on Eguptian gods!!
As we all know, Trials of Osiris has a LOT of egyptian motifs, from the shape of the medals in a match to the basis of the armor you can earn in it. This time around, the armor is a little bit more interesting.
The Titan armor is based off the ram and the Egyptian god Khnum, who is associated with water, fertility, but also PROTECTION. Y'know, like the Sentinel and Defender Titans and their Ward of Dawn. Kinda makes sense here.
The Warlock armor is based off the Hawk and the Egyptian god Horus. Horus represented kingship and was a god of the sky. Makes sense here from a Solar standpoint since the majority of high-end PVP warlocks run attunement of the sky for those floaty fights.
The Hunter armor is based off the baboon and the god Babi. Babi was seen to be a fairly bloodthirsty and judgemental god, standing by a lake of fire in the underworld, devouring the souls of the unworthy after being weighed by Maat. Makes sense here since Hunters are jumping around like a monkey, nuking everyone in sight like the battle hungry wild people they are.
And now you know, and knowing is half the battle!
EDIT: This post has gotten everything from memes to actual genuine interest and everything in between. The best part? It's been mostly polite! Kinda digging the attitude in this one, lol.

Monke outfit with Arcstrider is the closest we'll get to Wukong in this game.

Im super big on Mythology and i appreciate the thoughts put into the Class Armour for Trials, i like the Warlock chestpiece and helmet but i still want the 2019 Solstice gear aha.

1 ReplyI could read all that, but it still looks pretty ugly, that said, I’ll still have some fun running around trolling in monkey armor with a bright yellow sidearm
-
1 ReplyThat's super cool and I like that there is reason behind the armor. Doesn't change how ugly I find it.
-
The armor still looks hideous. I've been flawless about 20 times in the past few seasons. By adding a stupid little sidearm and yet another fusion crutch, and removing actual good weapons yet again.... and... then this armor... Bungle has done me a favor and reduced my workload, since I now don't care even a tiny bit about Trials next season.

Titan: what do you want to eat Hunter thought: the souls of the unrighteous! The actual hunter: a bagel

Giving me Muzan vibes

Hmm so the hunters got a demon thing going on

1 ReplyTime to make my Hunter look like moon knight

8 RepliesThe only Egyptian gods I know are Slifer, Obelisk and Ra. What are these gods you are talking about? /s
-
It's just ugly, you don't need a literal face and tail of a babon to represent it, symbols on the armour would do just fine.
-
I’ve been saying this for a while. I’m glad somebody gets it.
-
Crytan cap not nearly crayon shaped enough. Bad enough the crytan glaive wasn't just a giant crayon. Missed opportunity, just sayin.

1 ReplyCosmetic appeal is like a joke. If you have to explain it, it sucks.
-
Return to monke. All your opinions are trash if it doesn't align with this.
-
The designs are just not as good as d1 so I’ll die on that hill.
-
blah blah blah, who cares
-
Shoot, if they did based on the cobra, I'd be referencing Mummy's Alive all the time. 🤣
-
Very insightful, and helpful. Thank you! Suggestion: edit in a pitch to watch Stargate: SG-1! Lots of references to Egyptian mythology. Also a great show.

I will have finally something cool to chase in Trials. :)

Hunters need a Khonshu armor set
-
Finally the hunturds get a set that reflects their play style. Shotgun ape! [spoiler]just teasing and all in good fun[/spoiler]

Simply put, it’s crap

Ok? It still looks like absolute garbage
