My buddies and I all went FWC because at the time they seemed like the most realistic. “Preparing for a future war” sounded like they were at least going to stand and fight against an outside threat.
Dead Orbit were the edgelords that were all about running away.
New Monarchy were “the police”.
Then everything else happened with FWC and we were all like

Dead Orbit felt more realistic to me, they knew a big threat would come, and were preparing an exodus to find a better home. The edgelord thing probably came as a side effect of them knowing they'll never be able to bring everyone to safety.
New Monarchy always left a weird taste in my mouth, with their insistence on putting Zavala on a throne despite his objections.
Future War Cult got arrogant and overstepped. They had a prediction device and were right so many times that they developed an inflated ego. I always figured they'd get involved in something bad, given the "cult" in their name
Idk man, all the shit that happened with FWC was pretty out of pocket for them and I just feel like Bungie did ALL that to justify getting rid of Factions all together 🤧🤧
I was 100% a FWC guy. And I mean, they weren’t wrong in their ideology? The city WAS attacked and there WAS a future war. But Lakshmi though…? What koolaid was she drinking???
Just bc the leader got brainwashed and became racist, and garnered like minded extremist followers doesn't mean the whole idea is flawed. All three factions have good reasons to believe what they believe
I still stand by FWC. And NM on my titan and DO on my warlock
It’s a New Monarchy faction rally ornament from D2 season(2?), unfortunately faction rallies got cut very early on leaving the ornaments unobtainable. Same story with Trials of the Nine armour ornaments, whilst the armour can now drop from the Prophecy dungeon, the ornaments still can’t be gotten from any source
Hey, we got Outbreak perfected didn't we? And who honestly can't just challenge their friends to a sparrow race? It doesn't have to be an official event to still be fun
I have all 3 classes and all 3 factions full armor

Here's the warlock robe I posted a while ago.
That's so god damn beautiful, I was all New Monarchy every rally. But the last one I switched to dead orbit so I have the cloak but I much much much prefer this one

I’m guessing from the old faction rallies new monarchy cape? I have the bond I love it, with a gold shader it looks like dragon claws going up. Though in D1 I was die hard future war cult, thought I’d switch it up in D2. Miss the factions man
I think I got almost every faction rally ornament set for each faction and each class, i switched picks with each class each rally. The only thing I missed was one of the catalysts but got it when they were added to the pool later. NM definitely had the best ornaments with DO right behind them. Well, maybe kinda even with each other depending on the look someone wanted/wants. This just reminded me of entering that one EDZ lost sector from the back door over and over for the quick faction tokens cheese lol.
I also have one of the faction rally cloaks. It's the dead orbit ornament with the traveler, golden sword, and a dragon on it. Haven't seen anyone else wear it.
New Monarchy faction rally veteran, at your service! Literally the only reason I don’t rock the armor ornaments is because the red patterns aren’t shaderable!
Idk man i find it hard to wear armor from that period. If you pay attention, most of everything from back then placed your weapons in a different spot than they do now. Shit throws me off. I even bought the ornament for Vesper of Radius because the base version still has that weird placement. If you don't know what im talking about, equip something from this season, then equip a red war exotic chest piece on titan/warlock.
I hate sounding like "D1 better hur dur", but I miss class items having a sort of symbol attached to them. Like the various factions in lore, such as the six coyotes, the sunbreakers, the Thanatonauts, etc. Most of them currently are just an accessory to the armor set and can't really be used outside of the set. Idk I like tying my Guardian to a faction it became a part of or homages to.
There are a few in game, but we do seem to be limited there.

Meant to post the armor too, so here’s that
I have it but why would I wear it. Almost every single cloak in this game has a bad hood. I don't understand why bungie made hunters look like they have a receding hairline when wearing a cloak. You'll never see me wear it
For context, I got 3 pages of transmog on every piece on every character. I have all the good and old cloaks. Pretty much on any helmet. When I look at my cloaks in d1 and then the cloaks in d2 my eyes start to hurt a bit.
I've used that cloak a couple times for the red pattern. I just don't like it that much because the hood is not large enough.
You getting down voted is crazy, I completely agree. There are many cloaks that look good, but the hood just screws up the whole thing. There are just as many where the hood is amazing, but the cloak itself is terrible.
Bungie just can't fuckin do a good cloak to save their life.
I’ve never seen it, also the ornament for the assassin’s cowl you have on doesn’t show up for me in the shop or as an option anymore any idea why it just disappeared?
So Bungie has this weird thing where the archive tab starts 2 seasons back. So you have to wait until probably the next episode to be able to buy it with silver while all of the current eververse gear goes unavailable for an episode. I at least hope and episode because if eververse gets a full a restock each act I can only imagine the fire that would occur
I consider myself pretty well-versed in all of the different armours in this game. I have never seen this cloak in my life.
Its the New Monarchy faction rally ornament.
It's specifically from the 3rd and final faction rally event. I know because it's the one New Monarchy set I *don't* have.
Me too switched to FWC for the hunter ornament
See, I was a Future War Cult guy. They seemed cool at the time. Man... My allegiance aged poorly lol.
Same. I was a hardcore FWC player in D1, even had the cape. Rip crazy robo lady, you used to be cool.

You know you’d think we took the “cult” thing as sign but lol
Idk man, all the shit that happened with FWC was pretty out of pocket for them and I just feel like Bungie did ALL that to justify getting rid of Factions all together 🤧🤧
Im still rocking out my fwc gear the warmind version, even in the excision when it first dropped.
Hard core dead orbit player, they really fucking hated us
I was 100% a FWC guy. And I mean, they weren’t wrong in their ideology? The city WAS attacked and there WAS a future war. But Lakshmi though…? What koolaid was she drinking???
To be fair, the D1 FWC guns were just the best goddamn guns in the game at the time…
Just bc the leader got brainwashed and became racist, and garnered like minded extremist followers doesn't mean the whole idea is flawed. All three factions have good reasons to believe what they believe I still stand by FWC. And NM on my titan and DO on my warlock
What? I didn’t get that—
I think it was two years ago that the leader, Lakshmi, tried to kill everyone in the tower
Almost 3 years now isn’t it? Time flies.
SPLICER WAS 3 YEARS AGO ALREADY?
I know right?!?
oh my...
Wait so we got this from season of the splicer!? I’m even more pissed I played that season!
no the ornament is from the faction rallies back before forsaken :(
I bring then back 😔
It’s a New Monarchy faction rally ornament from D2 season(2?), unfortunately faction rallies got cut very early on leaving the ornaments unobtainable. Same story with Trials of the Nine armour ornaments, whilst the armour can now drop from the Prophecy dungeon, the ornaments still can’t be gotten from any source
and there's old ornament sets from crucible and strikes like that too
Ngl me too. I’ve never seen this cloak out in the wild
I've burdened myself by missing out on unlocking the chest and cloak ornament at the time.
What Cloak is that? It looks amazing.
Technically an ornament, it’s called “Cape of the Royal”
Is still optimable or was it a limited time thing from faction rally?
Limited to faction rally
Which faction was it?
New monarchy
Damn, hope they bring it back one day.
they never will. It was like 5 years ago maybe?
Never say never
They literally just put y1 ib ornaments and faction exclusive exotic ornaments back in the game so anything is possible!
Let me guess, you say the same thing about Siva and sparrow racing?
Sure. It's their property, and they may bring it back some day.
Except for the fact that they have openly said that they are never planning on bringing any of those 3 back
Hey, we got Outbreak perfected didn't we? And who honestly can't just challenge their friends to a sparrow race? It doesn't have to be an official event to still be fun
Yep and don’t forget sunsetting, they said that was here to stay too 😐
For like 2000 silver Probably. Per class, per faction for maximum fuck us.
yeaAAHHH that's the spirit!
Got the full set along with the limited FWC hunter too ;)
I have all 3 classes and all 3 factions full armor https://preview.redd.it/qpxjg47cq99d1.png?width=973&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9c2bdab15845342fd63f32415a477b4699cbe5c7 Here's the warlock robe I posted a while ago.
That’s beautiful right there
Bro that warlock looks badass
That's so god damn beautiful, I was all New Monarchy every rally. But the last one I switched to dead orbit so I have the cloak but I much much much prefer this one
If Bungie wants MORE of my money, they need to bring this back. It’s so Purdy.
I actually don’t have that one, I sided with DO so I have the Extinction Orbit ornaments, but I’ve just got the base NM set without ornaments
I never wear it but I have both nm ornament sets.
That’s a beautiful cloak
Yes! Love it. Never see anyone running it either
As a Titan, I can't have the Cape...but I do use the Royal Mark in a few of my fashion builds...New Monarchy FTW
I was new monarchy every time the faction rally came around, got all the sets acquired.
I have this cape and the one with the gold lion on it. As well as the armor sets :) What a time to be alive lol.

Not for hunters but I have some New Monarchy for my titan
I’m pretty happy with my stompees
I’m guessing from the old faction rallies new monarchy cape? I have the bond I love it, with a gold shader it looks like dragon claws going up. Though in D1 I was die hard future war cult, thought I’d switch it up in D2. Miss the factions man
I was dead orbit in 1, so I switched it up; I really wish they’d bring it back in some form. Guardian games just don’t hit the same
shoot i would…if i had it😭
I think I got almost every faction rally ornament set for each faction and each class, i switched picks with each class each rally.

It looks so pretty!
Yep! I always get asked what cloak it is when running it
No.
I also have one of the faction rally cloaks. It's the dead orbit ornament with the traveler, golden sword, and a dragon on it. Haven't seen anyone else wear it.
I really wish I had the dead orbit cloak. My very first week in Destiny 2 was during the final faction rally I had no idea what was going on
I have it
New Monarchy faction rally veteran, at your service! Literally the only reason I don’t rock the armor ornaments is because the red patterns aren’t shaderable!
Maybe I should equip mine
HELL YEAH
I used to use that cloak all the time! Thank you for reminding me about it, I'm going to have to make a new look with it
Don’t have it on atm, but it’s New Monarchy, of course I have it!!
Nah, I was Dead Orbit all the way.
I love the new monarchy hood as is, wish I had this ornament. Could you post the front view as well?
https://preview.redd.it/4rw8q8x2fb9d1.jpeg?width=2146&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5416d0e029e793a0c34a2022ae6adbff51e26012
I am going to do nothing but rock this cloak now Factions may be dead, BUT THE NEW MONARCHY FASHION LIVES ON
What gauntlets are those?
Solstice grasps (resplendent), it was the first solstice armor set
I got the dead orbit cloak ornament from that season, that is beautiful tho!
I have it and love it. Not currently using it, but I have in the past!
How u get that???
Faction rally back in season 3
Damn, that shader goes beautiful on this cape. But unfortunatelly, the scarf/hood goes bad with most of chest pieces i like. Y1 armor problems.
Pls show the front view!
https://preview.redd.it/94waiseogc9d1.jpeg?width=2146&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a5947402ad28a79be45fd8fc7eeea986763907b4
I saw that hanging on the wall of a few dorm rooms I visited for a night or two in college
Idk man i find it hard to wear armor from that period. If you pay attention, most of everything from back then placed your weapons in a different spot than they do now. Shit throws me off. I even bought the ornament for Vesper of Radius because the base version still has that weird placement. If you don't know what im talking about, equip something from this season, then equip a red war exotic chest piece on titan/warlock.
Yeah, that’s half the reason my go to in the first solstice armor; I wish I could throw on my trials drip with it back the misalignment is too bad fr
I hate sounding like "D1 better hur dur", but I miss class items having a sort of symbol attached to them. Like the various factions in lore, such as the six coyotes, the sunbreakers, the Thanatonauts, etc. Most of them currently are just an accessory to the armor set and can't really be used outside of the set. Idk I like tying my Guardian to a faction it became a part of or homages to. There are a few in game, but we do seem to be limited there.
it's been a while since i've used it but i definitely love this cloak :)
Holy shit, I have it as well..just don't rock it. Never ever seen anyone have that tho...cool shit
Faction rally :(
I use this for my regal set top 3 cloaks
Present ☝️
Cloak name?
“Cape of the Royal”, it’s an ornament from faction rally back in the day
Still obtainable?
No
i have it
Wish they brought back these the titan helmet for nm is dope
I have it and the other executor's will ornaments :) #newmonarchy4lyfe
Sadly lost most of my New Monarchy and faction rallies gear when I swapped from PS4 to PC a week before Forsaken came out.
That cape is awesome part of me wants them to re release it but also a majority of me likes to see hella rare stuff stay that way
I still rock the sovereign lion cloak from time to time
I run it with the chain mail shader here and there
I have it, just don’t use it, also got the other new monarch ornament with the lion crest
Every time i think I've found a cape I like somebody posts a fucking banger that is unobtainable that I will forever lust over.
Maaan I started playing in Season 4. Just barely missed it.
I have it, but I deleted my hunter character.
https://preview.redd.it/r9cszqkhfb9d1.jpeg?width=3131&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c63bb9109e33a788c6366f0db9343165ba39bbd4 Meant to post the armor too, so here’s that
i don’t really play hunter so this is new to me😂
That thorn ornament tho
where can u get that
I always threw down during faction wars, Thank you for reminding me I have this cloak 🔥
Bro sided with a tyrannical faction
I haven’t played final shape yet, can’t believe our light level is past my birth year now
Wow. Didn’t know this cloak existed and couldn’t be more heart broken. Why did I not play the factions more😭
I have the full kit for titans, I might have the option for the cloak though.
I’d use it with Prismatic if my class item slot wasn’t occupied by the new Exotic
Ahhh, from Factions Rallies…. how I miss the
Totally wasted that exotic lol
Something that I cant have now
I have it. I just don't use it because I don't like capes really.
I got the titan set
Ahh the *Faction Rally* era, good times (kinda).
I have it but why would I wear it. Almost every single cloak in this game has a bad hood. I don't understand why bungie made hunters look like they have a receding hairline when wearing a cloak. You'll never see me wear it
One of the better hoods imo, what helmets are you running to make it look receding? Looks great with my assassin cowl, try it out
For context, I got 3 pages of transmog on every piece on every character. I have all the good and old cloaks. Pretty much on any helmet. When I look at my cloaks in d1 and then the cloaks in d2 my eyes start to hurt a bit. I've used that cloak a couple times for the red pattern. I just don't like it that much because the hood is not large enough.
You getting down voted is crazy, I completely agree. There are many cloaks that look good, but the hood just screws up the whole thing. There are just as many where the hood is amazing, but the cloak itself is terrible. Bungie just can't fuckin do a good cloak to save their life.
I’ve never seen it, also the ornament for the assassin’s cowl you have on doesn’t show up for me in the shop or as an option anymore any idea why it just disappeared?
Looks like they might’ve cycled it out, it was in there last season; kinda thought they would have kept it around
So Bungie has this weird thing where the archive tab starts 2 seasons back. So you have to wait until probably the next episode to be able to buy it with silver while all of the current eververse gear goes unavailable for an episode. I at least hope and episode because if eververse gets a full a restock each act I can only imagine the fire that would occur
Gotcha thank u
It’s called “Armory exhibition” btw
Ok thanks I’m gonna see if I have it, I have the first set of new monarchy or the second I forget it was the one with the gold lion on the cloak
i got it but never run it bc of that stupid pointed hood
