Prison of Elders is going to be better than any Raid

Honestly, I feel as if though the Prison of Elders is going to be a breath of fresh air for destiny. The Crota raid was a disappointment and VoG got stale after the first few times. Four alternating arenas with objectives is going to allow for a constantly changing and interesting survival/arena experience. Plus there is going to be some sweet new loot drops and bosses included. It's like a raid that changes every week! Personally I wish it was 6 player survival instead of only 3... But either way I'm exited. Features: [spoiler] FEATURES •Three-Player Matchmaking at Level 28 Difficulty •High Difficulty Weekly Challenges for pre-formed Fireteams •Four, three round waves against randomly selected enemy races and gameplay modifications •A final, fifth round where players must face a randomly selected boss REWARDS •Fallen-themed Weapons •Queen's Armaments •Exotic Gear •And more! LEVEL 32 ARENA CHALLENGE •3-Player Fireteam required •Rotating weekly challenge •Exclusive bosses and gameplay modifiers LEVEL 34 ARENA CHALLENGE •3-Player Fireteam required •Rotating weekly challenge •Exclusive bosses and gameplay modifiers LEVEL 35 ARENA CHALLENGE •3-Player Fireteam required •Face Skolas and end him forever •The ultimate Arena Challenge [/spoiler] [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/event/prisonofelders]Official PoE page[/url] Share your opinions below.

  • Every objective in destiny is basically horde mode... Strike checkpoints, raid checkpoints, story missions... They just put it in an "arena" now and everyone thinks it's going to special.... Bullet sponges that keep getting stronger defensively each round and take longer to kill.... Boring af

        • Lol you have learned nothing. Whatever it is, it will be a letdown. The community always self hypes with this game, and they give us something nowhere close to what we hoped. It will not be a horde/firefight mode. If it will be close, it will be a stripped down canned version with set predictable waves. Loot will be shit. You will be bored in a week. That "expansive, immersive" game is not happening. Blind hope for this expansion is just more of thinking that we can go to "that mountain over there". Won't happen. New mode will suck, Destiny is an overhyped cash out, old Bungie is long gone. Etc etc...

          • I loved Halo Firefight. I wish it was still around...*Glares at 343* Anyways, a horde/Firefight mode in Destiny is something that I always thought would be good. Endless waves, new experience and new gear options. Really hoping it's great.

            • Crota Raid is great. Most people refuse to do nothing but cheese the bridge an the center ledge strategy. Both rob u of the real fun of that fight. Vog after almost 200 runs is a masterpiece. Both are the most fun co-op ever to me. But I agree Arena Mode is welcome addition to destiny. An I can't wait for HOW.

                • Sure. But some of us don't like mindless horde modes, or we actually look forward to playing with 6 people instead of just 3. I'll give it a try, but I don't hold think I'll enjoy it very much.

                    • If you played Gears of War, ask yourself this. How much time you spent playing Horde mode? Or Halo gamers, Firefight. The answer for me, too much.

                      • I totally agree. With story missions, strikes, and even raids I can't stop thinking "if only these encounters were procedurally generated, mixing up enemies and modifiers each time." Familiar with Halo's firefight mode and it's huge replayability I feel confident they're pushing this mode out to keep things fresh. It's easy to criticize something that can't be defended with facts. Until we have more concrete info all we can do is keep rolling our eyes at the naysayers. Sure it's a bummer the next raid is not coming as soon as we thought. But that doesn't make the potential of the Arena any less exciting for me.

                      • Ill give it a fair chance, but chances are Im gonna quit in like a month after the release drops. Horde mode is really not that fun to me. If you play it enough then you learn and memorize the spawn points also what enemy types you will face. And yeah a raid is the same way as well. The difference between a raid and horde mode is that a raid can offer more challenges and secrets for fun. CE does not really count as a raid it was just a longer strike, but VOG now that was a raid when we where all first doing it. Gorgons, jump puzzle, hidden chests from boss fights, it had everything. So hopefully if bungie and activision want to have any real player base left come November then they will need a major overhaul and actually deliver on the promises this time around to keep this game alive for 10 years. Once Tom Clancy's the Division drops I see Destiny becoming almost extinct the next day.

                        • I agree man, read this article. gives a different perspective and should freshen up the gameplay and another option for those who cant raid on a consistent basis.

                          • I think it's going to be awesome. I just hope they provide an option for matchmaking, to appeal to those who want a quick group AND those who want to solo.

                          • I'm hoping it will be really fun and offer unique rewards but I'm really disappointed there's no raid.
