[b]Factions in Destiny.[/b]
[b]Future War Cult[/b] - This group uses FWC for short, and operates on the belief that another war with The Darkness cannot be avoided. They are known for their vast military strength and believe in being ready to fight at any given time.
In the Tower, the FCW is represented by Lakshmi-2, a vendor who will sell Weapons and Armor to Guardians, the latter specializing in Intellect and Discipline. To keep things simple, this means that Armor purchased from the Future War Cult will reduce the cool down time for both your Grenade and Super Ability. If those are two important parts of your play style, the FWC might be the right Faction for you.
[b]Dead Orbit[/b] - The Dead Orbit would like to abandon The City, and plan to escape an already dying Earth before The Darkness returns. They've given up on the Traveler and have no faith that The City can withstand a major attack.
In the Tower, they are represented by Arach Jalaal, and specialize in both Discipline and Strength, meaning that Armor Guardians purchases from them will reduce the cool down time of the Grenade and Melee abilities. This Faction doesn't provide any bonus to the Super abilities at all, and therefore might be the least popular of the three.
[b]New Monarchy[/b] - The New Monarchy is the third Faction to choose from upon reaching level 20, and they believe in maintaining the haven and bringing back the Golden Age. This Faction has significant pull with the royal family.
In the Tower, the New Monarchy is represented by Executor Hideo, who will sell Guardians Weapons, as well as Armor that contains boosts to the Intellect and Strength attributes. This means players who opt for this Faction can expect reduced cool down times for the Melee and Super abilities, although they will not receive any bonuses for their Grenade.
All three of the above mentioned Factions have representatives in the Tower. The Dead Orbit and Future War Cult are located in the Tower Hanger, the structure to the right of Guardians when they first spawn into the Tower Plaza. The New Monarchy is found in Tower North, located just to the left of players when they enter the Tower Plaza. For specific locations, approach the robot when you first arrive at the Tower and view a map of the area.
[b]What Faction should you choose in Destiny?[/b]
Intellect - Reduces the cool down time of your Super ability.
Discipline - Reduces the cool down time of your Grenade.
Strength - Reduces the cool down time of your Melee ability.

Here are what each of the three Factions specialize in.[/b]
Future War Cult - Intellect (Super) and Discipline (Grenade).
Dead Orbit - Discipline (Grenade) and Strength (Melee).
New Monarchy - Intellect (Super) and Strength (Melee).

Stayed with Dead Orbit since day one.

Started on NM, went to DO. I don't meddle in politics, just going for gear.

NEW MONARCHY MASTER RACE

ok Guardians, it has been almost 4 weeks since TTK dropped. Are you still with the same faction or did you jump ship for the One True Faction - FWC!!

Edited by a clumsy scrub: 8/29/2015 2:22:14 AMThey better not be lackin with vanguard. Id rather pledge an allegiance to them than the stupid factions that cant set their differences aside and focus on the plague that is [b][u]destroying all humanity.[/u][/b] Edit: I used to rep new monarchy, but I no longer care for their gear, shaders, ship, or views. I believe they are tyrannical. They wish to rule the city in every way, and they arent all about democracy. They would have control over everything, and if their intentions dont sit well with others, there would certainly be a civil war or a revolution. I used to rep dead orbit as well, but their gear no longer appeals to me, and I was rewarded with one of their most treasured shaders already. I dont like their intentions either. They wish to leave their only home, and will take anyone who wishes to leave with them. They are cowards. All of them. Ive never been drawn to future war cult, but their views are more appealing than anything, especially being a warlock. They wish to experiment and learn more about golden age technology, as well as new technologies.. Although they may have many secrets, I believe their hearts are true. They wish to become powerful, as would anyone participating in a war. [spoiler]geez, I sound like im actually in the game..[/spoiler]

I pledge allegiance to [b]Future War Cult[/b] because running away from a fight (DO) and ruling from on high (NM) is not my style.
-
I've edged all my factions on all 3 characters. I will be pledging to all 3 factions, one of each on my characters and keep rotating.
-
NM on my Titan. Going for Dead orbit on my Warlock.
-
Fwc on my Hunter and New Monarchy on my titan
-
FWC-hunter Dead Orbit-wlock NM-titan
-
NM on Titan FWC on warlock DO on Hunter.
-
War is constant, nothing else Guardian.
-
Dead orbit has the worst philosophy but the coolest shaders...
-
I believe the point of Dead Orbit's ideals is exactly what OP said: The Vex and Hive have the ability to just keep coming. In a little over a week, every single Guardian knows that Oryx and his Dreadnaught are en route. What are any of the factions or us doing to prevent that or prepare? From a story aspect, Dead Orbit makes the only logical sense. We have lost our planet. There's one city below the Traveler and a massive Tower that Guardians can hang out in. What does it prove that we lost our entire planet to the Fallen? Unfortunately we can't keep fighting this three front war. If we leave, the enemies will end up wiping each other out. The Darkness will have no Light to combat it, a "Sith without Jedi" will die off on it's own. If we stand and fight, death is the only outcome for everyone.

Hunter: New Monarch Warlock: Dead Orbit Titan: FWC
-
I pledge my allegiance to the Suicidal Army
-
Future War Cult is just a no, may level New Monarchy, only because tripleWRECK is the vendor, but aside from that, Dead Orbit forever.
-
Deez nuts because I believe he's the best candidate for President. I support him 100 percent . ( Deez nuts Faction baby ).
-
Re New Monarchy, what royal family?
-
Vanguard, with all my characters. I don't want to get involved in these faction wars, I just want to chew gum and kill the darkness...and I'm all outta gum.
-
To be honest, probably none of them. Not enough incentive really, I'll just rank up with the vanguard.
-
None i ride alone
-
All of them. One on each character.
-
Well I have all 3 classes. Each one will pledge a different faction. Hunter is Dead Orbit. Warlock is FWC. Titan is New Monarchy.
-
You can change allegiance once per week so I will do all 3.
-
Whichever is selling the coolest/most useful gear.
