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.

[i]I will continually update this thread as more information about the Prison of Elders is released[/i]

It could have like a tower feel, teams gaining prestige as the go higher or deeper into the arena. Leaderboards and all.. Sounds good to me.
-
Yes I think if Bungie can pull it off, it will be fantastic. I'm thinking the same sort of vibe from Bo2 zombies, but more modern.
-
So the arena mode is actually a survival mode?
-
I'm certainly excited about the idea, but we'll have to wait and see if it delivers.
-
All I keep hearing "vault of glass got stale" I still play this lamp

Edited by thebrewedlord: 4/14/2015 10:23:33 PMI am still slightly disappointed that there won't be a new raid in May, but I am open to try out the Prison of Elders activity. The concept sounds interesting at the very least.
-
Looking forward to it as well. Hopefully less cheese's involved than raids. Will be a good change.
-
Your an idiot a very hard survival mode? Wtf is a hard raid then? You even go about wishing for a fire team of six.
-
Edited by TnT o0: 4/14/2015 10:23:05 PMi love the enthusiasm seeing other guardians getting excited for this gets me excited for it
-
WOW I can't believe it. Nobody has a clue what the Arena really is, but you call it "awesome"? Are you people really this brainwashed?
-
I am especially excited when they said they focused on [b]replayability[/b] because Destiny is the epitome repetition. If they planned for it, then I think I will have a good time.
-
I feel it too. I'm glad that Bungie is trying something new, and I have my hopes up.
-
I hope it is awesome and believe it will be. I know people are bored with VoG and CE but if they get a level bump and they get further polished with updated gear then I am ALL for that. The raids are fun when everyone has to do them legit. Hell, some people have never done a full CE run without cheesing the bridge.
-
I prefer objective based gameplay rather than kill as many til you die. Anybody who'd take this over a raid is kidding themselves.
-
Watch, it's gonna be epic. There is going to be unique elements to it just like the raids. Not only will everyone quit bitching but players will come back. Watch
-
Bah, if I wanted to play a horde mode I'd load up gears 3... yet ill still drag myself through it...
-
Why are you assuming PoE will be a horde/survival mode? You have no proof. Nice try scrub
-
Any mode will get stale after the hours some of us put in. This is the response to the engagement hours. They expected 39 minutes a day and got 3 hours a day. This makes sense.
-
Agreed, mostly cuz I only have three friends that play on the same console.
-
I'm excited for new content. It blows my mind to see that so many people are freaking out over getting what they asked for. Something new
-
I hope we can't double jump and the enemies all have melee weapons, zombies right there
-
I want to know if there is end game armor with prison of elders. Will the prison of elders be a once a week activity like the raid? Is trials of Osiris the only way to get to 34? Until I get answers to this I am kind of upset and mad about this announcement I wish they could just tell us everything instead of this drip drop of information they seem to be in love with. Also what is the deal with CE and VOG raids what place will hey have now? Will they drop upgraded gear or are they now obsolete?
-
-blam!- you!
-
Cautiously optimistic. Not a fan of the term that's what I'm going with...
-
Edited by Silly Sod: 4/14/2015 4:55:19 PMIt will good if it is like the COD Ghosts survival where you start with naff weapons and get weapon drops and there is a limit to the ever increasing enemies. I dunno maybe they could chuck in a dog or two (LOL) If it is like Alien V Predator Original PC Skirmish (i.e. play until you die) then it will be crap. If it has no matchmaking it is GAME OVER MAN
-
I agree
