Pleaaaaase rework the taken shader
Nothing much to complain about, I just think the shader isn’t as flashy as a taken shader looks, it’s still a pretty solid and nice looking one but I think it can look like an actual taken shader like when you look at the enemies.
-
Absolutely. Was very disappointed it didn’t actually make anyone look Taken.
-
2 RepliesFunny how NOBODY at Bungie ever called it a “Taken Shader”, and you all assume it is one. It’s not a taken shader.
-
1 ReplyWe had that in D1, atleast a Taken Armor set, with all the darkness aura effects and everything, complete with a Taken emote But in the "Better Game" , not possible
-
It doesn't look taken at all to me,Bungie should've just made a cool set of taken armour ornaments. Imagine a taken version(that looks taken like the D1 taken armour set) of the kings fall or crota's end(without the green glow effects) raid armour,That would be so cool.

Edited by Majestic12: 5/4/2025 2:50:51 AMyes, we want the real taken shader like D1 but more like d2 taken, it’s pretty obvious bungie

Edited by O_G_HELLBOY: 5/3/2025 3:52:02 PMThe saddest part is that a "Taken shader" is already in the game. All Bungo had to do was make the Tincture of Queen's Foil effect into a shader.
-
It definitely needs the taken effects added to it.
-
Closest thing to an actual taken shader is that purple/void shader that they sold for bright dust a while back. If they just did that in black it woulda been a million times better.
-
There is no taken shader
-
it works pretty good with the ghost of the deep armor set. other armor sets it looks weird.
-
It looks wack..Streamers were all overreacting with it like they do with everything else from this game This shader needs to be like the one from the armor set from D1
-
The D1 taken armor looks more taken then the shader they made of it for sure, if they can do that I'm sure they could've made the shader look "Taken"
-
Bungie has no interest in providing us cool looking stuff thats earned via gameplay. They intentionally underdeliver and make gameplay items look trash cause they want to sell the flashy stuff in the eververse store. Thats been their entire strategie ever since Activision ditched them. They were also stingy af with trials loot etc. UNTIL the game almost entirely died and noone but ximmers and carry streamers were playing trials. Then all of a sudden they find the "shower players in loot"-button to bring atleast some player back. Pathetic. Bungie does the bare minimum until they are forced to deliver.
-
So not the Taken shader. It should have been, but oppps its probably in Marathon! For you, the one player, whoever you are, playing Marathon, would you kindly checked for us please?
-
It's as much a taken shader as an umbral engram being a taken engram. It literally has umbral in its name. It's a shader meant for an expansion focused on the nine anyway, not the taken.
-
It’s not a taken shader.
-
2 RepliesLol what's funny is that it's basically a darker version of "BlueShift Dream Shader" that came out during forsaken to come close to a taken theme shader in which made players upset for the same reason now We just came full circle 🤣
-
You want the shader to look like the weapons from the Season of the Deep? How. Dare. You.
-
It's 1000% horrible.
-
9 RepliesWhat shader are we talking about here?
-
I agree that Bungie could do better with animated shaders by giving them more of a glow, or emphasis of illumination on effects to make shaders stand out more brilliantly.
-
10 RepliesIt was 1000% better in D1 On the hunter it made you completely look like one of their own. I remember I was in Venus doing a bounty and every time I bumped into a fellow guardian I would get shot cause of them thinking I was a taken Good times 😁
-
2 Repliesi wish it looked less green/teal-ish. they should make the darker parts closer to black and lighter parts closer to white.
-
The main problem I see is that color channels(what color goes where) are defined by each individual armor piece not the shader itself. A [b]true[/b] taken shader would require that lower body is all white while upper body is all black with a gradient between them and that just isn't possible with the way that shaders are implemented. A true taken effect cosmetic is way more likely to be a holochip. (I know everyone hates those. They should be toggled rather than on a timer imo)
-
1 ReplyIt was never advertised as a "taken shader". Leakers claimed it as such and as usual, the community just ran with their delusion. The shader is fine and tbh, I quite like it.
-
11 RepliesThe amount of copium & strawman arguments from the sycophants is hilarious. I'll do you a strawman as well. Where does it say it's not advertised as a taken shader? FYI, Umbral has always been linked to the Taken.
