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.

I'm actually excited for it. I love doing the raids but I want something different and this might be better. I love reading comments from people complaing about not having a new raid an how they're done with destiny. Quit the bitchen and be thankful that they're giving us something different plus the new raid will come out eventually so relax.

6 RepliesLook at his profile. He has a level 26,27, and 28. Probably hasn't completed a raid before lol

Raids are the best part of destiny. Waves of enemies is more of the same. Every story mission is waves of enemies with three gaurdians. Im looking forward to it but I think it will get old pretty quick especially if the arena fighting ground is small.

2 RepliesThere has been no solid info on the new mode aside from the name... "the Prison of Elders". Stop throwing out your BS thoughts and saying something you have no idea about is better than something you barely played.
-
I agree, it should be something fun and new....... You know what would have made it better? Having a raid with it, they could have tied it into the survival game play or had it work with the new game play in multiple ways instead they leave it off "for now?" And only give us a game mode we are all more than familiar with and will probably get tired of much faster.

3 RepliesI think raids get repetative after a few times too. And I agree, the arena mode will be a new and exiting experience. This will also be the same for the so called 'Reef social space'. Haters gonna hate ya know. :)
-
I never liked survival or zombies in CoD so I'll have to disagree. I'll more than likely give it a try but I will tire of those activities very fast. I may come back to the game but only if future dlc has raids or story content that doesn't rely on arena or crucible. Otherwise I'll pass. Just my opinion though.
-
I agree! It's good to have a variety of end game content that's not just a raid.

18 RepliesAfter reading through alot of the comments I've noticed a common theme among you peoples...mainly being afraid that this will be a once a week type of deal. I can really see Bungie doing it this way as it would fit the model they've already shown us with the Weekly Heroic and Nightfall. My hope is that they don't do it this way and offer the Arena mode as something like the strikes, where you can play it whenever and however many times you want. One thing that would spell death to this mode though is having to take 2-3 hours in it to begin to see some sort of benefit. Players on general don't have that much time to invest at one sitting and if it means your progress is wiped every time you log out, oh well, players will just do something else. I'm really glad Bungie decided on 3 person fireteams as it was hard as hell to put together 6. It even takes sometimes up to 5 minutes to get enough for the Crucible these days, so I think 3 person teams for the raids moving forward would be an excellent idea as well. We can only hope Bungie realizes this and makes the right call. Thoughts??? Cheers

I feel like the horde mode thing was worn out after black ops 2 came out for me anyways. I enjoyed the raid because it was a new way to play and a fun challenge that required serious team work. I'll definatly be giving prison of elders a chance just hoping it holds up to the way bungie is hyping it . I love destiny and all but Bungies track record hasn't been the best lately.

I agree! :P I can't wait

Nice try bungie pr troll. If you think vog was stale after a few runs then all of your points are totally invalid to me. Yes crota could have been better but I'm so over horde mode in this game you have no idea what it's gonna be like and you think it's gonna be better then vog not very likely.

I would prefer it to be similar to like a gladiator arena battle. Your team fights a few waves a "trash" then a boss, then you get harder trash waves then another boss etc...but have the bosses randomly generate so you can't plan for the boss and just have to deal with what you have. I would also like it if you were stuck with the gear and spec you enter with. Only way to change is to wipe and start over, but risk having the waves and boss change upon re entering
-
It's going to be shit and you know it

Yeah a 2 hour strike sounds like something new and something better than the 30 min strikes

28 RepliesEdited by Hoggzi: 4/19/2015 3:23:00 PMI've got a sneaky feeling that it's going to be 3v3vhordes.... i don't know why but I do know that it would be a bad move to split up raid groups completely. Fair enough only a small percentage raid but the only way it would work is if you can play it more than once a week so you can run with all members etc. If you check raid statistics on the app, there's new stats for zones captured/offensive kills....wouldn't make any sense to put that there if it was just hordes. Also just to add, it seems the community is split when it comes to PVP and PVE, merging these modes would be a good thing.

I think having a daily reset with modifiers would be cool

I agree I think the gear will have way better perks like triggering health regen on kill and reload and stability buffs per kill

[quote]Honestly, I feel as if though this arena mode that's been announced 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. This arena mode will allow for a very fun survival mode that I can waste hours on. Progressive difficulty allows for players of all skill levels to have a challenge and to have fun. Similar to halo's firefight mode or cod's zombies... Seems interesting and like a cool idea for destiny. Personally I wish it was 6 player survival instead of only 3... But either way I'm exited. [/quote] Yes, exactly! I still love the three man teams though, makes the discrimination in groups less present. Like not owning a Ghally in CE hard.
-
I agree. A raid would be nice, but seeing as I can rarely find a fire team, the Arena will definitely be easier to do with my friends.

i agree with this particular style of macaroni
