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 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
-
Im guessing that we will have to stop fallen reaching the cells where HoW royalty is imprisoned and if the fallen get to them we have to kill the big enemies like Kells
-
Have they announced anything because "the area" could be the name of the last story mission for all we know. These delusions of grandeur are why destiny got such a bad rap in the first place. HYPETRAIN! Woot woot
-
I agree with you and think the virgins should withhold their dkless nerdrage until the HoW launches as I have a funny feeling they will be eating their words.
-
I just hope glimmer consumables work.
-
Survival modes get so stale. Honestly, if there's no rewards, I'm not even going to bother with it.
-
I can solo left confluxes on hard. Think I'll be ok.
-
I doubt it will be that good. It will be a change but definetly not better than raids. We had a taste of Bungies horde/firefight mode in some "story" missions, protecting the Ghost while it opens a door.
-
Im blindly hoping that i can get glimmer for the arena. It will just make it so much better than the damn exclusion zone
-
There should be the option for 3 man or 6 man fire teams where the number of enemies or ultras changes depending on the fireteam size.
-
Is it survival like the one in gta v?
-
Edited by randmgamr: 4/15/2015 4:34:15 PMI'm staying optimistic too. I just hope the only way to get raid equivalent gear isn't through the Trials of Osiris only...I personally am not great at PVP.
-
How do we know it will be survival, horde mode. Has bungie said anything about it? I see lots of speculation, but it could be a coloring book mission as much as horde mode
-
It depends on how it's implemented but I agree. It could be awesome.
-
Agreed, a survival mode is exactly what destiny needs.
-
I'm curious as to how Arena mode will dispense the loots and how often. Horde mode by definition has no end to it, if the game were to give out loot base on waves say every 5 waves, what if your team made it to 4 before everyone wipes so are you done for the week?
-
Ok nub.
-
This will be fun for about 20 mins, just like all of the other games that literally have the exact same thing... If this is what people are thinking it is, we're just getting a reskinned zombie mode that takes place in space...
-
I'm just hoping that arena will have max level gear drops. I'm pretty excited either way. More excited about that Trials of Osiris gear. I suck at pvp but I will be grnding the ever living hell out of that.
-
Agreed. If it's how I'm thinking it will be I'll be in danger of addiction..
-
I wouldn't say better than any raid, raids are still fun but this could be a more casual less stressful experience. I just hope their next raid is strong.
-
Wishing for fireteam of six in the future
-
If you were looking for thoughtful discussion rather than mindless bashing, I think you are in the wrong forum. Maybe the wrong Internet. I am looking forward to arena mode too.
-
Finally some positivity i am hyped for the arena
-
arena = mini raid arena = garbage
-
I wonder if the Arena was the original raid.? Then they changed it to a 3 player type. According to that leaked image it says "The Arena" "Reef Raid" I wonder if they decided to listen to player feedback and create an even better raid to match VOG. In doing so would mean they need more time to make such a raid but then again who really knows.?
