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 agree with this particular style of macaroni
-
Only down fall I see with it is if they limit it once a week like every thing else
-
COULD be fun as i enjoy zombies mode in CoD BUT plz plz no once a week limit
-
It's going to be shit you know it and I know it. Everyone would have preferred a raid, everyone wanted a raid. People reacted in two ways: 1: They went berserk on the forums 2: Bungie fanboys (like yourself) just bent over and let bungie -blam!- them. Wave a after wave of enemies I have killed a million times. Fun, no I don't think so.
-
Crota got old fairly quickly. Vog is still fun for me. Still not many better feelings than putting that last hit on Atheon. But yeah, this arena is a welcomed change. Can't wait for it. Also nice to have end game content that only requires 3 people.

[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. Share your opinions below. [i]Edit: Can we all please tone down the hostility, this is supposed to be a thread for thoughtful discussion, not mindless bashing of one another's opinions. Thank you.[/i][/quote] It wish it was 6 players also

NLB challenge on arena can't wait

Its maybe a bit premature to be assuming that this is going to be a survival mode or that it will all take place in one location, they havent really said anything to that effect yet. All they've said is that its a 'brand new three player cooperative multiplayer arena'. I don't know if we should assume that they literally mean an arena (after all a brand new arena would suggest we already have one, which we don't), which is why people are assuming it will be a survival mode. Given their language in other posts, and the context I'd say their using the word arena to refer to a new game mode rather than an actual colliseum style play area. They'd probably describe the crucible and strike playlists as combatative multiplayer and cooperative multiplayer arenas respectively too. Also if you check the reef out now they've added space for four locations so hopefully their planning something a bit more ambitious than just a survival mode.

Edited by dainja raas: 4/19/2015 2:41:34 PMIv'e already paid for it (season pass) so I'll play it , people are saying Horde , CoD Zombies , Halo Firefight , so nothing new to consoles then if you've played Gears , CoD or Halo . I'm not getting my hopes up for it , that way I'll not be too disappointed when it fails.
-
Elbow lol
-
We'll have to wait and see. I mean let's face it, even though everyone seems to have accepted it as fact that the Arena is s horde mode, bungie hasn't said anything and until then, it's all speculation. But hell, either way I'm pumped!
-
Where do you have your information from? Can you post a link? It seems you know more then the rest of us....
-
It all depends on how they're going at it wether its a survival, boss gauntlet, or some other weird shit
-
It may be a boss gauntlet. Which I hope I is.
-
Im optimistic
-
Depends on how they run it. We need to wait and see if it is a one room coliseum, aka clusterf_€k, with potential cheese spots or if it multiroom which could include both wide and narrow battle spaces. Without seeing anything about it there is unlimited potential to the mode but it can just as easily disappoint you if they fail to create the right kind of enviroment. I know I would be happy with the diversafied multiroom, which actually sounds more like a raid, than a one room barage of overbearing enemies.
-
I'm looking forward to trying the arena out but my guess is it will be very repetitive and quickly get boring but let's hope not
-
Edited by septarn: 4/19/2015 2:22:19 PMMy guess is they are having arena because they're doing something to the new Raid. If its true only 15-18% of players are playing a Raid then it makes no business sense to spend time on it. Matchmaking is a high probability. My hope is its a matchmaking survival because its just easier than looking for people to play with.
-
Lol elbow
-
I think the arena mode will be amazing and they need to fix the broken and glitchy raids
-
I think bungie will add a few tings to it. Like holding down a plate or some objectives. I mean warlock would be OV with sunsinger bad juju and that helm thingy or nonstop self res. Hunter would be completely useless beside being medic
-
Soooo you allready played it?
-
Sounds really fun to me
-
So it's a horde mode like cod zombies ???
-
I'm really psyched for it as well after watching the trailer and reading the announcement. I'm actually glad it's a 3 person deal as I've found it difficult to put together a 6 person team for the raids. This forum is full of mostly people that hate and it really is getting old. Don't pay those that hate any mind and hopefully one day those of us that have an opinion and don't resort to hate mongering will outnumber them. Cheers
-
I think it'll be fun, sure. But I don't see why in a game that already lacks content, we can't have arena [b][i][u]and[/u][/i][/b] a new raid
