Dead Orbit has the best shaders, so Jalaal it is. I already own the Pulse, it's pretty decent. If history tells us anything, it is always Dead Orbit for the shaders and Future War Cult that has the best precision weapons, which is my thing. New Monarchy rarely has something good for me.
I don't really care they went with reused armor and weapons again. I grinded hard to get my awesome EDZ Titan armor, now Dead Orbit just has it. I guess at least mine doesn't have ugly logo's on it.
@spaceinsomniac: I haven't seen them but I know my personal preferences for weapons.
Well, so do I. But if the New Monarchy sidearm is like a full auto Last Hope with better range, or the scout rifle can compete with Mida, or the pulse rifle has laser beam accuracy, I'll be happy to throw my preferences out of the window.
Future War Cult obviously. They got fashion, style, and colour. All my little gay heart needs. Dead Orbit is just too depressing and every person this side of hot topic is going to be using their black shaders so no thanks. And New Monarchy is just garish.
Dead Orbit. Black Shaders + Peter Stormare's sweet voice is a no brainer.
Exactly! I hope they've brought him back.
Arach Jalaal is Peter Stormare's character. It would be pretty dumb to bother bringing back this specific character if he wasn't going to have the same voice. Especially since he'd be so easily replaced considering all he really did was hand out patrol missions and spout random lines in the tower
Or maybe something to do other than the same thing we are already doing but for a different reason. This is exactly the same as leveling your clan for a reward right? Except some unique loot I mean
@galerian: In all seriousness I'll probably pledge all 3 so that whatever wins I can buy the weapon for 1k glimmer. But I'll probably put the most time into Dead Orbit, though I do want to score some of those weapons from each and those New Monarchy Shaders are looking sexier than they ever have. Add to that the Dead Orbit Shaders don't look near as good as theirs did in D1 and I'm probably just sticking to them for loyalty reasons, so from an outside perspective I'd probably go with New Monarchy if I didn't have those loyalty "obligations" (if you can call anything in a video game that).
This guy makes a pretty compelling argument. Do you care about shaders, or do you care about guns?
This video is bizarre to me because not only does he imply that guns are somehow more important than shaders, which makes me wonder if he's actually ever played Destiny, but he then goes on to imply that Future War Cult doesn't have great looking shaders.
In all seriousness, though, I think all three factions have a great look. I levelled up all three in the past, hopping from NM to FWC to DO (where I stayed in the end). If your choice is character-bound, not account-bound, here then I'll most likely do the same thing. However Dead Orbit probably does sway me a little for that scout rifle, as they've been far more appealing to me than most pulses and sidearms in D2 so far.
@hestilllives19: Me too. I am probably gonna follow the same pattern as D1, Warlock = DO, Hunter = FWC, Titan = NM. It will be cool if they acknowledged that my characters are loyal to their faction
Throughout all of the original Destiny, I devoted myself to FWC. I got all the shaders, the ships, a sweet sparrow, the exotic cape, and enough guns and ammo to outfit every Guardian in the Last City a hundred times over. Even after all of that, I still want to rep FWC.
@spaceinsomniac: Some people have gotten their hands on some of the Faction weapons early, I think from the Cayde chests. Myself I have the New Monarchy Scout (High impact Hakke Scout with; Armor Piercing Rounds or Extended Mag and the new version of Cocoon), and the Dead Orbit Pulse Rifle (High impact EDZ pulse with; Extended Mag or Flared Magwell and Outlaw). I have a friend who has the Dead Orbit Hand Cannon which is an Old Fashioned with Hi-Cal and Triple Tap if I'm remembering right.
I voted for Future War Cult a few days ago but after playing for a bit today I ended up going with New Monarchy because their warlock armor looks amazing. My heart will always belong to FWC though.
