Factions and PVP Destiny

My thoughts/ideas concerning if Destiny will have rival factions that have certain "bases" or areas of interest that will be controlled. For example a location has a vital resource or a key location which could be used for a strategic advantage. This location being highly sought after could lead to "war" from other rival factions or even alliances formed if one faction becomes too powerful. This could be a check and balance system to keep the world of destiny ever changing socially, economically, and perhaps even in a governing world control type sense. I wonder if Destiny will have jobs like mining for ores, armor crafting or synthesizing for upgrading equipment. Characters should have classes like support/healing, defense/heavy gunner, scout/sniper or pick and choose to have their own unique character class. Also being able to dual wield or use a sword for attacking and defense would be idea. How about a class that uses melee weapons only, perhaps some area of effect skills, traps/bombs, stealth and temporarily invulnerablity. Teleporting to areas that have already been visited is a must but should cost currency or at least limited to a few times in a certain amount of time. Will there be weather effects, environment destruction, day and night? Time change should be incorporated because offers a more realistic, emersive, more dynamic experience. Night time could open oppurtunities for new quests, new enemies that appear only during the night and of couse more danger and suspense. Another thought is what your character does when your offline? Can you become a merchant, will the PS Vita be a part of the Destiny experience? Is game sharing going be possible? If I can't complete a certain mission but want a trusted friend to play my character, can I allow him/her with my DUALSHOCK4 controller? If I could actually watch my friends play my character on my tv from their PS4 console half way across the world my mind would be blown. Also will gravity change on different planets? Do we have skills like agility or acrobatics for excessing hard to reach areas? Will the PlayStation 4 camera come into play? Be awesome to leave video recordings to friends, if you have tips, ideas, or just want to goof off with the camera. So many ideas for Destiny i'm excited and can't wait to play the beta. I hope others are just as excited and have many ideas to share.

      - PvP is optional, and primarily cosmetic beyond acquiring new gear for your guardian. - Destiny is about survival, not grueling jobs. You will be acquiring raw materials for upgrading gear, yes, but crafting new gear seems unlikely at this point. - All classes can play however the player wishes them to. It will simply be that classes have a unique combat style. - Dual wielding also seems unlikely at this point. - You would be at a severe disadvantage. There's a reason they say not to bring a knife to a gun fight, despite player stereotype rebellion. - Fast travel hasn't been elaborated on, possibly because the shrike may be fast enough to cover distance without need. I personally think that there will be a drop-zone sort of system. - There is a day and night cycle for all planets that probably open up new strategies and opportunities. - Your guardian probably won't do anything unless you [i]play the game[/i]. - If you consider buying and selling equipment [acquired in the wild] in the tower, then yes, you can become a merchant. - Probably not. - Game sharing will be possible. They made a commercial about it man. - Not unless they're sitting next to you, no. - Differentiating gravity seems unlikely at this point. - Each focus features different vertical movements [double-jump, blink, etc.] - Again, probably not.

    • I guess factions at PvP will be the same thing as pacts in Dark Souls.
