[i]This is my first post, but the Destiny universe inspire me greatly and I want to contribute to its success.[/i] In a game, if we choose to put in place something, it must add to the gameplay experience. And for me, a faction system have a lot of potential. In other games, they use factions as a quest path for some rewards, to justify PvP or to specify game mechanics advantages and disadvantages. But for Destiny, I want something more than this. First of all, for me a faction should represent a philosophy, an ideal that we want to follow, something that will complement my style of play or just simply because they look cool. My other request is that being part of a faction should give me a feeling that I have a goal and proud of being part of it. Because of the persistent nature of Destiny, a strong faction should have a strong influence on the game universe. What I really want to see in Destiny, it is a faction system that I will see an advantage to be part of and be proud to show my devotion to a particular cause. One way to achieve this is to have different level of membership and advantages associated with them. When you select a faction you become a recruit and you can have access to weaponry, armor and spaceship options only available for this faction. But as you accumulate faction honor points, by doing faction quests, winning faction wars, help other members or simply represent their philosophy. You will eventually reach a membership threshold and become a full member. As a full member, you have access to special class abilities, unique weaponry, armors and spaceships that are in accordance with their philosophy. If you continue your good work you can achieve elite and champion status and greater advantages awaits you. One more thing, I want players to be proud of their accomplishments and be able to show them to others in a visual way. For each level of membership, for each class, they should have their own distinctive keepsakes, something visually attractive and distinctive. I want players to be able, in a glance, to identify his badass level and say something like “Cool, an elite titan from New Monarchy, he will help us”. Finally, everything about the factions should be the responsibility of Bungie. This means that everything about the factions should be the dominion of Bungie, but guided by the actions of the players. They will script their conflicts, their struggles in accordance with their vision of the Destiny universe.
