The Decline of Destiny Factions & Why Bungie Removed Them

What Really Happened to the Factions In Destiny 1 & Destiny 2?

👍 LIKE ratings are greatly appreciated if you enjoy the video

🎙 What equipment do you use?

In this Destiny video we'll be going through the origins and complete history of factions from Destiny 1 to Destiny 2. Dead orbit, new monarchy and future war cult came a long way from being simple vendors offering some of the rarest and most powerful rewards in the game like the exotic class items and were upgraded in the taken king with even better items, but in Destiny 2 they were turned into the faction rallies which became their downfall as bungie would eventually remove them from the game... #Destiny #Destiny2

The Tower in D1 used to feel alive. Now it feels empty and I find myself going the HELM more often.

[Ceelker]

The fact that you still have high quality footage of nearly every topic related to Destiny 1 and 2 is insane and really highly appreciated for historic value. Thank you for what you do.

I wish they would have kept the factions like D1, just updated weapons or the original weapons from d1 it would have kept more engaged.

[wardoctoral]

The gunsmith, vendor resets, xur, factions all gave something to log in and check every couple days. Getting rid of these really killed the daily log in fun for me. D1 as simple as it was had the formula. Don’t totally change what works, just refine the formula

[AxisChurchDevotee]

Hope one day Bungie tries factions again but with house light (replaces dead orbit), Caitel's cabal (replaces future war cult) and the awoken (replaces new monarchy). Having fallen cabal and awoken themed loot would be a good incentive to join them.

I miss the factions so much. The thing about fanctions in d1 is it felt like the world was connected, doing activities give you rank for that activity, but also your faction rank, you were helping a lot at once, you felt like you were gaining progress, cuz your rank didnt reset every damn 3 months so everything you did WASNT useless

[Forcer]

If Bungie ever does bring back Faction rallies or the factions I really hope they aren’t like Warmind. Grinding for those exotic armor ornaments and catalyst were probably the worst grind I’ve done across both games. You needed 50 levels to get both one of the catalyst and armor ornaments, it took about an hour of public events to get 1 level, you had one week to hit level 50 since there was only 3 rallies, and you had to do that 3 times if you wanted everything.

Honestly, Destiny nowadays is not that grindy compared to Warmind Faction Rallies.

What’s interesting, after the reveal of the new exotic class items coming in TFS, it’s clear bungie didn’t forget factions exist they just don’t have the resources to update them

[DaisOfDestruction]

3:49 As a veteran player myself, this only proves how dumb Bungie became content-wise, the endless cycle of re-cycle, they've made a big fuss about it in The Final Shape reveal with "two exotics equipped at the same time" but we all know that everything sounds so familiar, doesn't it ?

FWC had the best spawn animation fight me

[lyinginertia]

It was such a missed opportunity to have crucible be based around faction wars.
They could've implemented a system similar to guardian games but it's a weekly thing where the factions are pitted against each other and lore will be developed based around that. For example a faction that is losing in stats or popularity could start to spread propaganda about fighting for them when you login to the game and if you switch you'll get some exclusive gear or cosmetics to said faction. Each faction could offer some passive abilities as well that could be enticing (or offer exclusive mods). Staying with a faction could grant you loyalty rewards. It could've made crucible far more engaging

Man, I miss the revelry. Favorite iteration of the infinite forest activity.

[richypitch]

FWC - 'Wormwood' - loved that sidearm

[CMTDev]

i wish we could stand together and return to destiny 1 as a whole and bring life to it again, i wish bungie would increase the vault space which killed the game

[The_Albraskan]

Pretty great summary of the old factions. I know this isn’t really a lore video on the old factions, but if I remember right from the Veil containment recordings, Lakshmi-2’s mind is pretty much a copy of Maya Sundaresh’s.

[florentinoruiz]

I was a loyal FWC member. I think it's still the emblem I use. I really thought we never won a single faction rally. I guess I was on vacation the one time we won.

[Sathanas-wfxk]

You should make a video about SRL. I actually enjoyed it!

[Mechimmortal]

Faction Rally could work these days, since we have rolled weapons now. Have singular, pretty good weapon to chase, but you can obtain it from any faction, and have an ornament for whichever faction you choose, and armor is obviously unique for each faction as always. You're not missing out on a great gun, so people are more inclined to pick a faction they actually like.

[henrirobbins]

This video is making me realize how much I miss factions - they ensured that there was some kind of personalized and focused goal no matter what you were working towards, and made the game feel a lot more "yours" than just having Vanguard/Crucible/Gambit drops.

[cocoa_joey]

I know D1 had its fault, such as launching without much content, but man… that game was like crack. Still miss the music, the mystery and of course my Eclipse Maw gear…
