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 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.
