I simply cannot take Dead Orbit seriously. The whole premise of their faction is that they're running from the darkness.
New Monarchy wants to rebuild the golden age.
Future War Cult is preparing for what they feel is an inevitable war.
Why would anyone align with Dead Orbit based on their beliefs? Does anyone seriously believe in DO's mission to basically cut and run?
I'm convinced that at minimum 90% of Dead Orbit followers are only so due to the shaders and not the factional beliefs therefore I can't take Dead Orbit nor their followers seriously.
EDIT: So I actually have Revenant and have leveled DO, I just can't find reason to stick with DO...DO = Cowards has just been burned into my mind.
[b]EDIT 2: New Monarchy is best monarchy. Long live the Empire![/b]

1 ReplyI really hope that in the Taken King, the quests will help to expand on their lore. Right now if I were to base solely on Grimoire lore, FWC is probably the most interseting, but DO has the very juicy perks of having some great rewards for siding with them..

3 RepliesPeople don't care what the factions represent since they mean nothing to the lore or outcome. They join dead orbit for the armor shader.

If the traveler dies, the darkness would be able to enter the inner solar system. Therefore if the traveler does not heal, we cannot stop a force such as the darkness. It would come into our system and eliminate all of the planets within it and we would not stand a chance. Aligning with dead orbit would be the best choice in this situation. They would get all of us out before the collapse of Earth and the inner planets and after that all we would have to worry about are the fallen because the hive, vex, and cabal would not pursue us and the fallen (eliksni) would blame us and continue to follow us. That's why I would follow dead orbit if I gave enough of a shit to level it.

I mean... we really don't know. Destiny is pretty much a space opera and I wouldn't be surprised if this all ends with us discovering that the Darkness is something that, no matter how many times we win individual battles against it, simply cannot be beaten. We may learn this a bit too late and realize that we should have listened to DO all along. That would be ideal, anyway. I'm not expecting Bungie to pull off anything super sophisticated so I'm sure the Darkness will end up just being some giant black ball that we'll swat with a sword of light or something and say "yay cool we did it"

If you going by ideals and lore I agree with you. FWC all the way. War is inevitable and part of human nature even in real life. But I'm pretty sure moT of destiny players don't do it because of lore. They do it for shaders. Me on the other hand, the grimore for FWC is very interesting.
-
The fact that anyone would take seriously that "faction mission statement" is laughable
-
I think most people just want the shaders lol
-
Lore wise I follow new monarchy. Back when I didn't know there were shaders for the factions I was with them. Then I went to dead orbit for shaders.
-
What other reason is there for joining a faction? Nothing. You join for the shaders, ships and sometimes weapons. Not because you're interested in what the faction wants. In fact they might as well all be the same faction, just with different colors
-
Wait, there's more to a faction than the color scheme?

6 RepliesI can't take them seriously because they keep screwing me via packages.

I joined them cuz of shaders. :/
-
Said it before and will say it again. Dead Orbit has the stupidest philosophy, but the most sane of the factions, so I side with them. All these factions..hoo boy..
-
I think their gear looks cool. It's the only reason I'm there.
-
donno why people pick them based off of shaders anyway. Black and white. How original.

13 RepliesEveryone thinks Dead Orbit is trying to run away when in reality they're the smart ones for realizing that Earth is doomed and they should save what is left of humanity and expand else where. New Monarchy are the morons who want to stay and FWC are just savages who wanna solve everything by just fighting. [spoiler]My radar detects salty monarchy and fwc inbound. Go ahead, your opinions are irrelevant to me anyway[/spoiler] [spoiler]I realize this is just a game so really there's no need to get so serious over which faction is better. I'm with Dead Orbit cuz I like their shit. I'm just goofing around but if you actually get offended by my comment I feel bad for you lol[/spoiler] [spoiler]DEAD ORBIT MASTER RACE!!!! >:D [/spoiler] [spoiler]scrubs :)[/spoiler] [spoiler]spoiler[/spoiler] [spoiler]gr8 b8 m8[/spoiler]

1 ReplyEdited by Red Right Hand: 9/6/2015 6:12:44 PMMy Titan pledged allegiance to New Monarchy. He will stand, steadfast, resolute and unflinching against the coming Darkness. He is more than prepared to spill his blood defending the Great Wall of the Last City and even give his life to protect it's people. He is the bastion, the bulwark, the hero of his people. Never quite at ease in enclosed spaces, my Hunter believes the Last City is a lure, a trap. More than confident in his capabilities, he would rather take his chances in the great unknown across the stars than let himself get cornered in a fortress that is bound to turn into a prison... or a deathtrap to the herd of cattle that crave it's protection. Then again, my Warlock has stared through the strands of time and glimpsed the inevitable: war! War is the only constant. And war never changes. He knows a day will come when his Light will be strained to a mere flicker and possibly die out. And so he vowed to prepare for the inevitable, for he will [b]not[/b] go down without a fight...
