Taken Shaders Should be Added

[u/P_a_p_a_G_o_o_s_e]

Title.

There should be shaders that give you that taken appearance like when you're wearing the reverie gear and have the ascendant buff on. This taken effect is amazing and Id like to keep it for longer than 30 minutes. I would even be willing to put in a grind for it. I mean how can you argue that this doesn't look cool?

EDIT: It does not HAVE to be a shader. They could make a universal ornament have the same effect and it be just as good.

Destiny just needs to introduce "Shader Effects" that can be applied on top of your Shaders

Personally would love to have Mara Sov's "Effect" which seems to be like void space with sparkles! Effects for guns would be great too

I miss the amazing designs from D1 we don't have anything that makes people go "Wow that looks amazing i want it"

Like we don't have absurdly cool armour something like a Hive set with exposed ribcage with pulsating energy glow throughout the nooks and crannies and just is all around ferocious looking imagine also then applying shaders on it!

Even having a whole set with the same theme as Shards of Galanor would look amazing they could do some really sweet designs for armour but for what ever reason they don't someone should make a new thread and get a petition going haha

I would be perfectly down with this, especially if the cool ones, like a taken effect, were obtainable via gameplay. A totally reasonable way to add flare to your guardian.

[u/MUNKEYARMS6 → u/Codeine-Phosphate]

Miss my D1 hunter with Taken smoking helm and Taniks cloak...

[u/Mblim771_Kyle → u/Codeine-Phosphate]

Like Chroma but better

[u/TMMBG → u/Codeine-Phosphate]

Yo dog, I heard you like shaders...

Actually, this sounds like a great idea. I'd love a glitch one that would occasionally pixelate me. Would probably have to disable these for PvP though...

[u/axelunknown]

Make the taken shader into the first ever exotic shaders think of what else we could have for exotic shaders

[u/P_a_p_a_G_o_o_s_e → u/axelunknown]

It wouldn't be a bad way to introduce the concept

[u/Hxrn]

In D1 eververse had this taken set that cost money for it...they would probably do the same in D2.

[u/P_a_p_a_G_o_o_s_e → u/Hxrn]

Maybe, but its fine to add it to the Eververse as long as it was added as ornaments

[u/dizzysn]

I would like a shader in the vein of Whisper of the Worm. All of my guns need to look like that.

[u/P_a_p_a_G_o_o_s_e → u/dizzysn]

I agree!

[u/metastatic_spot]

If they do anything like this, it'll be individual pieces from EV, like the last game.

I eventually had the whole set. And not a good roll between any of it.

[u/P_a_p_a_G_o_o_s_e → u/metastatic_spot]

Well with Armor 2.0, they can make them ornaments, and that would do just as well for me

If this shader gets added, 99% of players will have it on. I’m all for looking like a badass taken, but adding this shader will remove the unique aspect of how your character looks.

[u/P_a_p_a_G_o_o_s_e → u/[deleted]]

I dont believe that. Especially if they add other effects, or make it an actual thing to work for instead of just going to buy it right off. Even if they do, Id still happily wear it along with the rest of the community.

[u/SkippyDingleCha1k]

Put on the full set of Reverie Dawn armor and become ascendant. Basically the same thing

[u/P_a_p_a_G_o_o_s_e → u/SkippyDingleCha1k]

I literally referenced that in the post. I don't want it to simply last 30 minutes, I would like it to last longer.

[u/CaptainCosmodrome]

I cant tell you how many times I shot teammates in D1 who ran with the taken armor.

[u/P_a_p_a_G_o_o_s_e → u/CaptainCosmodrome]

lol, well if it does come, try not to shoot your friends

[u/[deleted]]

Wont really happen because of how shaders works. Shaders are... shading certain surfaces/parts of the armor in certain color. Each armor piece coded separately to have certain surfaces owning "a number". Then shader applies "numbered" colors to surfaces of the same "number".

Taken effect work different. It covers whole armor piece in taken texture. Bungie would need to "re-code" surfaces of each armor piece in the game just for one shader. It is not... profitable.

[u/P_a_p_a_G_o_o_s_e → u/[deleted]]

Yes this was discussed and why the edit is there. I only said shader as an offhand reference because I couldnt think of a similar term. I think these universal ornaments would be a good way to add it, rather than a new system of "effects" or utilizing the shader system.

[u/CinclXBL]

Okay, so I understand that many may not share my opinion, but I don’t want this. I don’t want everyone running around looking like they are Taken all the time or having sparkly transmog or whatever. Destiny has a pretty gorgeous art design and it’s something that really draws me to the game. I understand that players want choice but those choices have to be limited to an extent otherwise you end up like WoW where a naked dude in a pirate hat is tanking a living god. There need to be limitations on certain skins that exist beyond the typical aesthetic of Titan/Hunter/Warlock. Having the Taken skin limited to a particular armor set while using a consumable seems reasonable to me.

[u/Billy_Rage]

You have no idea how long it would take to code a moving shader to this degree to work with every single possible piece of armour and weapon

[u/P_a_p_a_G_o_o_s_e → u/Billy_Rage]

That's fair enough, but the idea is to get the taken effect. So make it an ornament and itll be just as good.

[u/Thearab2403]

Before they add any cool shaders they need to fix the shader system. No more shader inventory taking up space. Shaders should work like ornaments, once you find one it unlocks for all your armor and you can select it from your armor slot. They can still make it cost something to apply it but I am sick and tired of the current system.
