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.

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!
