We've got our 5 banners to rally under.
-The New Monarchy: Believing that the best hope for our future is to all band together under a single banner, the NM runs a lot of the law of the City, with strong connection to the City's Royal Family.
"A finger can be broken. A fist cannot."- Monarch's Gauntlet (NM Titan Gauntlets)
-Dead Orbit: They preach that the darkness is inevitable and civilization's best chance for survival is to mount up and take to the stars as one to escape the coming black.
"Our salvation lies ahead of us. Go forth. There is nothing left to leave behind."- The Cloak of Oblivion (Dead Orbit Hunter Cloak)
-The Future War Cult: Believe that the last stand is coming, and in the end we will fight to hold our City and defeat the darkness, or we will disappear forever. To this end they believe every soldier must be the best they can be.
"The fiercest contest lies ahead. This is irrefutable."-The Helm of No Tomorrow (FWC Titan Helm)
Then there's the two wild cards I can't find anything on ANYWHERE.
Osiris. -?? & Seven Seraphs- ??
So what else do we know guys? What do you hope to see from these? Which philosophy do plan to follow? Who do you join and why?
Can anyone shed any light on our two ninja factions?
[P.S. This is my first original forum topic since joining up on Bnet, so I'm open to pro tips from all the Vets out there on what makes a good topic]
-
For now I think Future War Cult is my option but that can change once I find out more about each faction in the full game
-
I will be going with FWC because I like the blue/gold armor and self refinement. The Dead Orbit guys sound like nancys and dress like emos. NM sounds a bit sketchy. No monarchy for me sirs.
-
Pretty much chose Seven Seraphs cause its logo is cool. And has a 7.
-
Join Dead 0rbit! http://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/169194
-
FWC is the best. 'nuff said.
-
I've heard speculation that seven seraphs are focused on praising the traveler because of the name's religious connotation and osiris is guardian focused based on the fact that guardian's used to be dead. [spoiler]Note that I don't agree with the speculated ideology of seven seraphs but since it isn't solid I'm keeping it for now.[/spoiler]
-
I think Osiris & Seven Seraphs where just place holders for Dead Orbit and New Monarchy .
-
whats the difference between them besides lore? do they offer exclusive items or something? because that will sell me over background stories
-
I would have to say the Vanguard. You know those guys in big conference room organizing guardians in strikes and raids against the servants of the darkness and not forcing me and my fellow guardians to fight each other in the crucible.
-
Why no warlock gear?
-
Osiris is like the iron banner. its multiplier oriented.
-
Dead Orbit. You saw that map of the Darkness, right? Ain't beatin' that. Besides...main will be an Exo; we already fought one war for humanity, look where that got us. Dead in the trunk of a Lada in Nowheresgrad.
-
Dead Orbits are cowards lol but cool name. I'm going with NM until I see the others.
-
You. Cant escape from the JUDGEMENT of the new monarchy and the guilty shall ne VANQUISHED by the PRESTGE of an executionet
-
Osiris, we were brought back like Horus' son we might as well seek what the Egyptians knew.
-
I am mostly a solo player but I would follow Future War Cult to the end, as well as Bungie without question
-
New monarchy
-
I can't decide with out knowing the other two factions story. I lean towards fwc because of their handcannon and gear.
-
I wish there was more info on them.
-
This is interesting. It's good to see a summary of the factions we know so far, I'd seen some of it separately and seen the content in the beta but this makes it clearer. I'll likely support each faction to an extent. Mostly because I'll be after a lot of gear! However I only really agree with the FWC of the factions we know of. Dead Orbit are cowardly and are following the history of the descendants of the Awoken: Fleeing did them no good, it won't do us any good now either. NM make a fair point in being unified, however their religious, royalist connotations deter me. I'm an atheist and so cannot abide religion (no offence to any religious Guardians, just my opinion). The other two, we'll just have to wait and find out.
-
Dead orbit to get that armor, then leaving them. See how they like deserters!
-
I have no idea who the 7S are, but I feel like I might like them, can't know until they're actually revealed. IF they're actually revealed. If those original three are the only ones, then I'd go for the Monarchs.
-
Probably Osiris, if it has anything to do with the egypt god.... Afterlife and Rebirth etc.
-
Future War Cult. It could change when I learn more about the other factions but for now, I like FWC best.
-
I'm interested in Seven Seraphs and Osiris. Hopefully their pvp gear looks sick, if not, New Monarchy.
