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.

Yeah doing survival for hours, and hours, and hours, and hours........wait wasn't the issue that content was repetitive?
-
Agreed
-
Honestly im happy about the change.
-
1. Play a new raid that's the same exact thing every week, get bored of Destiny in a month, come to forums and endlessly talk about how there is nothing to do. 2. Play a new game mode that cares about three things: variety, replayability, and skill. I'll take #2 all day.
-
Guess it depends. If it is similar to Gears of War 2s hoarde mode, then it might be interesting.
-
Maybe not better, but probably pretty sweet
-
Stand in one place Shoot the same enemies Over and over No thanks . Crock of shit
-
You've never completed Crota...
-
I wish it was a maximum of 6 with the ability to play with a minimum of three and choose the difficulty
-
6 player would have been great. Should have added an option to run up to 6 players with or without matchmaking.
-
I kind of want to see the arena, but I'm kind of glad they didn't put a raid because the fact that you could solo crota is a little stupid. When I think of a raid I think of a team activity and not just another solo one.
-
Firefight and zombies really didn't hold my attention. Can't believe so many people wanted it.
-
Edited by CrudeDude: 4/14/2015 4:15:56 PMYes, those raids were awful. Can't wait. Too many nerds on here just don't get it.
-
will it have new gear to get you to lvl 34?
-
I heard it'll just be another strike
-
If theres no matchmaking ill end up soloing it anyway. And 3 players is the most i want to randomly group up with if it is matchmade. Problem? I dont see one
-
Where did you pull this information from? Your ass? Bungie hasn't said anything about what the area actual is. Everyone's going on about survival and horde mode without any confirmation.
-
Black ops 3 will be here soon I will play horde mode then I don't need it on destiny I want 6 player co op
-
I agree with OP this mode is gonna be good. The raids were too easy.
-
Only 3 player? Destiny is now dead to me
-
I hope it's something like Mass Effect 3 online. I played that a lot and could see it being fun in this game. I could see it being played as much as any raid.
-
I'm super excited for this. I think it's gonna be a breath of fresh air from the repetitiveness of the raids. And I'm stoked that the old raid gear will now be upgradable. I'm actually gonna go and replay the VoG now to get some of the gear I considered to obsolete. And I'm glad it's 3 people. That means I don't have to go find randos on the forums. I won't have to worry about lag or connectivity issues. And it's going to be balanced for a 3 man team so when I try to run this with my two friends we won't be outmatched because we're missing half a team. I think destiny is taking a step in the right direction by mixing up the content that they're releasing. I get that you guys like raids. I do to but if it was just a new raid, a new strike, and a few new missions every time there was a dlc then I'd be done after house of wolves. I'm glad to see destiny is trying to shake things up and keep it a fresh experience. I'm actually pretty excited to see what new things they want to implement in future expansions.

What is with the new "light Level 36" gear. Will there be any new gear available in the "Arena" ?
-
Just wondering will DB be worth something as you can place them where they come out of
-
It will get stale fast. People bore of artificial challenges.
-
Getting tired of saying this, but we don't know what the Arena is. We know literally nothing about it besides its name and that it's 3 players.
