My idea for destiny 2 would make more sense if our guardians carry over i think but i would like to see this implemented anyways. It's not really a wall of text but its worth a read. So what if in Destiny 2 our guardians were givin an opportunity to join secret factions/cults that recognized our skills against the darkness. Here are some secret factions/cults that i made up to give you an idea. The Hidden (although this seems like a warlock exclusive club, im sure Ikora can make an exception). Eyes of Osiris Followers of Dredgen Yor Protectors of Light The Lost and Forgotten The Crows Pitch Black Travelers of Time Betrayers of Light Requirements for joining: Each faction/cult have different requirements for joining, like for example The Crows will offer you an opportunity to join When you have completed all Queens Wrath bounties for 3 weeks straight and killing 150 strike bosses with queen weapons. When you join: Upon joining you will be givin quest for rep and sometimes items, factions/cults will also have daily bounties but depending on the faction/cult you get into they may favor PvE or PvP more. Like for example The Crows will have PvE bounties appearing more often than PvP bounties and Betrayers of light will have PvP bounties appearing more often than PvE bounties. But regardless of faction/cult you join they will support both PvP and PvE activities. faction/cult exclusives: Each Faction/cult will have their own armor/weapons exclusive to that faction/cult, although if you leave the faction/cult those items will not be available for you to use again until you join back. If you have them on they will just unequip. Not like the others: Unlike the tower factions aka fwc/dead orbit/new monarchy letting you switch at reset, since you are joining a secret faction/cult you will be able to switch after a month. If you stay in the faction/cult after a month you can switch at anytime. Just keep in mind that whatever faction/cult your joining your going to stay with them for a month. Punishment for leaving: You will be forced to bend over and get spanked, HARD. Just kidding they won't do that, well.... maybe Ikora will but who wouldn't want to get spanked by her ;). Ok ok seriously back on topic lol. When you first join a secret faction/cult you will be givin a unique item in your inventory that shows you support that faction/cult. But say you want to leave.... Eyes of Osiris for The Hidden, well you have to go to whoever is running Eyes of Osiris and turn in that unique item along with for example 1 exotic engram and 700 glimmer. After that you won't be able to see their inventory BUT will be givin another unique item lets say.... A Golden Ticket. Well If you change your mind and don't join The Hidden just go back to whoever is running Eyes of Osiris and give them the ticket and you'll be let back in. Otherwise you'll just be able to join Eyes of Osiris again after a month. Remember, Its a secret: Even tho you joined a secret faction/cult you WILL still be able to be allied with fwc/dead orbit/new monarchy because you joined one of the factions/cults above in secrecy. When your single hit me up, k?: When you are already in a faction/cult and you perform steps to get into another faction/cult you will get the opportunity but you won't be able to turn it in until you leave the faction/cult your already in. Thanks for being with us, heres a bonus!: Each faction/cult will have a bonus, like Eyes of Osiris will offer bonus glimmer for crucible match completions, The Hidden will offer bonus vanguard and Hidden rep for completing patrol missions, The Lost and Forgotten will increase chances of raid items dropping in Raids and bonus raid materials, Travelers of Time will increase the chances of loot dropping from Vex enemies and so on and so forth. Event exclusive missions: If an event like iron banner, queens wrath, or my made up event "The invasion of...(insert enemy race here)" 2 or more faction/cults will also take part by having you "Get 5 kill streaks in Iron banner" or "kill 2,000 enemies in the invasion of taken". Although they won't offer unique items for competing in the event, they will offer you a lot of EXP and rep and maybe a chance to drop a faction/cult item. Story time: Some people will hate this but it will only happen once, when you complete a daily bounty for the first time you won't be able to turn it in orbit, you will need to go to whoever is running your faction/cult and turn it into them and once you do (and its recommended you don't rapidly turn them all in) they will tell you a story of what happened in the past and what they did a long time ago. Along with hearing their stories you unlock the grimoire card so you can read what they said incase you forgot. If you pick up a daily bounty that you already completed you will be able to turn it in orbit or you can go back and turn it in to the vendor to listen to their story again. TO LONG I DON'T READ: Secret factions and cults in Destiny 2, each being different in their own way, offering rewards exclusive to that faction or cult, some factions and cults take part in monthly events like iron banner or queens wrath. You really should just read my army of letters above ^^^ c'mon, if you do it i'll be proud of you :). So thats my idea for Destiny 2, i think it would make more sense if our guardians do carry over but regardless i would like to see this in Destiny 2 anyways. i hope you all liked it and would like to hear some of your ideas or suggestions. And i also hope Deej or cosmo get a look at this as well.
