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. Features: [spoiler] FEATURES •Three-Player Matchmaking at Level 28 Difficulty •High Difficulty Weekly Challenges for pre-formed Fireteams •Four, three round waves against randomly selected enemy races and gameplay modifications •A final, fifth round where players must face a randomly selected boss REWARDS •Fallen-themed Weapons •Queen's Armaments •Exotic Gear •And more!

  • 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.?

    • Maybe with enough complaining they can make it 6 man fire team. Seems like just about everything people complain about gets implemented down the road... Only big one that comes to mind is trading that they never gave us.

        As a dedicated raider I can say that I am extremely excited as well :) I want Bungie to freely come up with things and give new experiences like they are!

      • I wonder if it ends at 15 waves (or so) or if it's literally infinite until death. I'm pumped, it will get me off Terraria and PvZ GW and back to Destiny.

      • Have they actually come out and say what the arena is, unless I missed it I read nothing of survival or horde mode, for all we know it could be 3v3?

          • Destiny fanboys would equate a green engram as being better than any raid if Bungie told them / gave them that....

          • After crota got boring, i was talking to a friend, discussing what the next raid would be like and how it could be more fun to come back to. I said It would be cool if we went to the prison of elders looking for the big bad fallen we had to kill, and end up getting captured and put in a arena to fight for freedom gladiator style. He said Yeah that would be sweet. Instead of us trying to get in to kill something, we try to escape. And i said That would be awesome. And what happens after a few weeks? A new arena mode called the prison of elders is announced. So what its only 3 player, you can find out which of your friends are the best, so what if it replaces a raid, its something new, something exciting. Raids get boring, but if this is a wave based survival sort of thing that would be amazing. TAKE MY MONEY!!!

          • 6th may live gameplay will iron out all the doubts for me. Just staying open minded and tbh i think it'll be better than a raid. Bring on HoW :)

          • Just curious, I don't think they ever said what was going to be in the arena. I haven't seen anything saying that it's going to be a fire fight/ survival mode, everyone has just started assuming that's what it is. For all we know it could be 2 waves of dregs followed by a servitor or something else equally disappointing. I feel like it's not going to be some survival game type unless it involves no loot. If loot is involved I would say there is no chance it will be endless waves. It's assumptions like this that create so much disappointment in this game.

            • I hope so, I wish they would have made it a 6 player thing. I think it would make it more fun.

                • Why limit it to three. From my understanding COD zombies, Halo firefight, and GOW horde mode all allowed for at least 4 players. IMO it should've been increased to 6 players

                    This mode is already in the game... it's usually in a public event. Maybe they just expanded it.

                    I thought COD zombies was boring after a couple play throughs. Hope it's not like that.

                        • I think it will come down to how difficult it is and level of rewards. People are going to complain no matter what, but I think most will be happy if it's hard enough to occupy us for a while. Decent rewards would make people flock to it.

                        • Pretty bummed about the Raid news but equally excited about Prison of Elders/arena game mode. Another option for players great stuff. I do want to add that it is upsetting that a major content drop not contain a Raid. You have two per year... It's an expectation as far as I'm concerned. Upset but I can deal. I'm not gonna scream Bungie sucks. The update the news still is a lot to be happy about. See you in the Arena!

                        • Every objective in destiny is basically horde mode... Strike checkpoints, raid checkpoints, story missions... They just put it in an "arena" now and everyone thinks it's going to special.... Bullet sponges that keep getting stronger defensively each round and take longer to kill.... Boring af
