So, I'm playing Destiny as a Warlock and I noticed that some of my gear had very 'anti-hunter' descriptions. One said something along the lines of Hunters not being able to shoot straight and other said Warlocks will never 'cede their position' to the Hunters. Anyone know why there's bad blood between the two, or if there's tension between all the classes, or did I just pick a class that happens to be really pissy?
EDIT: So there is some tension between each of the classes. The shit talk mainly goes on between the Warlocks and Huntards. The Huntards and Titans also have a few jabs at each other. Titans and Warlocks seem to get along.
Edit 2: Hunters*
Edit 3: Holy shit, nearly 1500 replies now. This post was from the Beta in July and it just picked up a lot more steam.

Was on a team earlier in the Crucible where we had 3 Warlocks and 3 Hunters. It was awesome and we smoked the other team.
-
Its an on going joke. Hunters get the glamorous capes and the Warlocks have the boring arm bands. The Warlocks try to make up for the lack of fashion by saying that they are more skilled.
-
Hunters, just tell them our cloaks are frabjous, they respect words they don't understand.
-
Golden gun

Because of our cape physics lol. The Warlocks are jealous , because their arm bands have no physics 😁
-
Because they do. [spoiler]maybe war locks should get taken out and replaced with a healing only class [/spoiler]

Why do Cats hate Dogs? Cause they are better

Edited by skelingtin: 7/25/2014 1:17:00 AMYou know how you rip on your friends for what they wear, how they act, ect??? It's not being pissy I think it's just friendly ragging on eachother. There all in this together Brothers and sisters in arms

There is a certain warlock chest piece that says "Warlocks are expected to maintain ceremonial robes. We cannot cede the sartorial struggle to the Hunters."
-
well warlock are witch doctors and Hunters are outlawed vandals you seaaaaaaaaaa
-
Just bungie adding a little humor to the situation. Hunter armor also says stuff about warlocks.
-
There was once an ugly warlock. He was so ugly that everyone died. The End
-
The Dustwalker Hunter helmet says "Titan and a Hunter crash on Mars. Titan's helmet stops a Cabal slug. Hunter's helmet stops her from starving. Who lives?" [spoiler]Seems like hunters are pretty much outcast in general. I'm gona keep looking for stuff like this.[/spoiler]
-
If a Hunter shows anger for interrupting his line of fire, respond thusly. It was imperfect, and I could not abide.
-
Stop you racist I am a Titan and I hate Hunters jut as much as everyone else! jk But really they are too OP.

Edited by Firehawk991: 7/24/2014 9:16:25 PMI'm guessing Hunters are a sort of outcasts. You know Wildmen. And Warlocks are the once of Intellect, So Savage vs Sophisticated kind of relation. My english isn't good enough to use proper terms.
-
One of the Hunter cloaks also says the mission is to look cooler than Warlocks.
-
I just went through The House of Devil with a couple of Warlocks, being myself a Hunter, and we kicked ass. I had a blast.

Edited by Friend_Within: 7/24/2014 9:22:08 PMJust got a Warlock armband and this is what it said in the description: [i]"Learning without application is like drinking without thirst" - from Aphorisms To Anger Warlocks, a Hunter handbook.[/i]
-
"Your mission: Protect the City. Look better than Warlocks. But don't act like you're trying."
-
The warlocks and the hunters seek to have a friendly, competitive attitude towards each other in the lore. For example listen to their respective Vanguard partake in friendly banter.
-
I think I saw a hunter cloak that said something like "go tell a warlock how fabulous your cloak is" or something like that lol.
-
Well from a lore standpoint it's possible that before the darkness came the hunters and warlocks got into a battle because of how they use the travelers light in different methods. Hunters treat it as a weapon enhancement and warlocks treat it as a magical power. Also it could be religious
-
Well shoot. Based on the title I thought there would be a punch line.
-
That's like asking why exo are superior to squishy humans. It's a fact of nature.
-
Knock knock Whose there? Warlocks armband Lol
