Could you imagine how insanely awesome it will/would be if, within Destiny, are in-game factions and Bnet would support faction sections throughout the site, each section having specific content for the faction. Take all of the wonderful users on here with such great imaginations and initiative and group them together and then pit them against each other in clan like battles and different types of warfare.

How awesome would that be?

That would be awesome. I'm thinking EVE style corporations. Everyone goes for a faction and can join a corporation independent of that faction. Those corporations can get scary huge.

This man is a genius!


I agree and seems like something they could be working on. Who knows! But they have been talking about major changes to Bnet right?

Whether you can only be in one faction or could be in multiple, this kind of idea could really make the whole experience deeper.

Whichever one has the baddest armor, the biggest guns, and the pimpest troop carriers is the one I'll join.

I love when online games, MMO's especially, get the community very into their game universe. Hence why I love EVE so much and another game Infinity (which is far away from being finished). I love when the game universe gets the players into the action with corporations, financial management, social issues in the game's universe, politics in-game, etc.

I have a feeling there was a lot more to Staten's ""Wouldn't it be great if we could make a world that was always there for you?" than just the idea of the game's basic idea. I think the New Hawtness has a lot more in store for us than we may realize. Bungie loves their community, and they definitely show it. I have a strong feeling that with their heavy amount of Network techs and great web team, they'd be able to pull something off similar to what we're conceptualizing now.

Perhaps it's even exactly what we're exactly conceptualizing now. Thought that would be pretty freakin' unlikely. (But pretty awesome)




Though my point earlier being, if you look at other games with heavily interactive organizations in the game universe like EVE, SWG, Infinity and Skyrim (though in Skyrim, the clan interactions are linear and planned out, not something that can be shifted in any given direction) their communities are heavily engaged in the game. They are always paying attention to what's going on, the more dedicated players have more responsible positions in each organization and everyone has their own job to do.

In some games, there's even an ability to go and spy on another company, do recon missions, take-over's etc. But it's the community that allows all of this to happen. If the players weren't so engaged and imaginative, they'd simply react to a loss to a major battle as "Well, there was lag on my end so I still get to keep my base and I'm not handing it over to you". No, instead, they play as if the universe were real. If a company is taken by a hostile take-over, the company head gives it up. If an army wins a major battle in the game universe, the losing team allows the other team to take control of the region of which was fought for.

All of these things we, as the community, have the potential for. We could build a pretty damn good interactive universe even greater than EVE. Not to mention this community is just full of kick ass people that I could totally see starting player-run corporations, governments etc.

This would be cool. (New Monarchy would always win, though.)

Also, the New Monarchy sounds pretty bad ass. Sounds like the new empire that finally took over the galaxy or something.

Faction Details (not official, just hypothesis):

New Monarchy = Government run organization with the sole purpose of ensuring security and overall good standing of the current government.

Osiris = The ragtag rebellious group that finds the New Monarchy to be greedy, villainous people and need to be over thrown.

Dead Orbit = Clan of Pirates or "Black Sun" style Mercs that operate "underground" and usually work for their own personal gain. Possibly could be hired by each side.

I'd suggest we start making groups but seeing as it's not confirmed that any of these are even group names (let alone the fact that it hasn't even been announced yet if there will be factions or not), it's best to just hold off and see what can be done.

Someone already registered all the group names forever ago.

Seven Seraphs will show no mercy to Osiris. There can only one theological-themed faction!
Those are fightin' words sir, you wanna tussle?

Are they active at all or are they wastelands just as the forums were about a month or two ago?

  • 07.07.2012 11:11 PM PDT

Until I learn more about each group, my allegiance can be based only on which faction has the most triangles. Thus, I'm with the New Monarchy. For now.

(changed my theme, but I like my emblem too much to ditch it)

I was actually thinking of making a group, maybe one with all the faction supporters?

Well, Osiris was taken early this year...

I would advise against making faction groups. You might get some activity now, but in the long run, there's not going to be the interest or population to sustain the group as we head back into the darkness. But forge alliances in your other groups by all means.

It's hard to even find an active group on here anymore.

I have a feeling Bungie will be fixing up the group system on the site for Destiny. So making groups now may or may not exactly be the best thing to do. As per the big site change back in '06 I believe, most groups were transitioned over but lost most of their archived stuff like threads and news posts. Either that or group names were pre-reserved by users. I forget exactly how that went down seeing as I only was in one group at the time and I wasn't very active.

Though if someone on here manages to make a successful and regularly active (not just for a couple months) group for the New Monarchy, I'd definitely love to join.

The problem is getting it, and keeping it active. Once you can get that part down, it's smooth sailing from there. Just keep regular maintenance. I don't have the time to be keeping up on groups like that anymore (as much as I'd love to). But I'd be totally willing to be as active as I can in any group.

Heh, yeah I had a feeling a lot of the groups (even new ones) aren't exactly active. I was just checking up on all of my groups and I saw that not a single one was still active regularly. These organization groups will probably be just the same. So you're right. It's best just to wait.

Actually Dead Orbit is a group of classy Gentlemen. Why else would their symbol be a monocle?
