I know many people were not fans of PoE, but i thought it was a good idea that, with a bit more tuning up, could become something that could be very enjoyable. Bungie did say that this was going to be left in the dust of TTK for "nostalgia" but maybe if enough people really wanted this, they would reconsider. I say they could refresh the whole experience with new gear, weapons, bosses, challenges, and maybe even bounties... I just feel bad for poor Variks, he doesn't get any love anymore. :( Leave any other ideas on how PoE could be brought back , or why you think it shouldn't be brought back at all, in the comments section, i'm open to anything, and i'll try to give you my opinion. :) I'd also like to keep this a sodium chloride (Salt) - free environment for all of us, thank you very much.
[u][i]Ideas to make PoE better.[/i][/u] [b]bold[/b] ideas are the most common and important.
- [b]Better, new, higher level loot (Level of loot depends on level of round)[/b]
-Matchmaking (Paint My Bagel)
-[b]PoE bounties offered by Variks for House of Judgement reputation, and other rewards (Veritas724)[/b]
-Checkpoints in between rounds (MisterEMan)
- Unique Boss specific loot (Me)
- [b][u]MORE[/u] better, smarter, less bullet-spongey bosses with more complex mechanics[/b]
-A new use for etheric light, possibly an infusion material that grants a random element? (Brownc04t)
-More exotic quests that involve using other fallen/enemy weapons, like the tracking rifle.
- [b]New challenges, other than mines and important targets. (B1g_Baba)[/b]
-Boons like Trials of Osiris, that could provide things like boosts to stats on rounds, like the old year one armor, or boons that make dismantling mines faster or other challenges easier. (Scornful Orchid)
-Customizable rounds, where you can modify the races or modifiers. The loot table would have to be considered with this, so its still harder to get better loot (SergioTheSlayer)
-[u][b]Endless taken mode.[/u] the taken are invading the Prison of Elders, and you have to hold them off as long as you can. Bosses come around every 5 rounds or so, and drop loot based on that level you are at. ([u]many [/u] people want this, so I can't name just one person)[/b]

Edit 1: Seems like most people would want better loot from PoE, couldn't agree more. Most of the loot from PoE was quite dissapointing, aside from the Elder Cipher. Maybe boss-specific loot like strikes?
Edit 2: Im going to make a list of all the ideas you guys have given me. Keep it up, and thanks for the support!
Edit 3: Many people are saying that PoE is good for farming strange coins and motes of light, but i still think there could be much more to this than a boring grind. But thats just my opinion. Almost at 50 replies, thanks to all of you! Im interested in anything you have to say!
Edit 4: This is probably the fastest grossing forum post I've ever made. Keep it coming! I like to read all of your ideas! Thank you!
Edit 5: Many people have said to me that taken rounds wouldn't make sense. So instead, what about a round where the taken invade the Prison of Elders, and you have to defend it by killing a taken boss with taken enemies around it? This could also be incorporated into an endless mode, where taken are invading the Prison and you have to fight them off, with a boss appearing every now and then and dropping loot in which the level depends on how far you've gone. Let me know what you think about this in the comments.
Edit 6: I just had a cool idea for some of the weapons that could drop in PoE. Because I know Bungie likes to put nostalgic, year 1 weapons into year two, (black spindle, no time to explain, etc.) What if some of the gear that was dropped in Prison of Elders was actually gear that was salvaged from the remains of the awoken fleet that was destroyed by the Dreadnaught. Maybe it's just me, but I think it would be cool to wear some of the original queen's guard armor that was now infected with splatters of taken energy, or a Her Benevolence that had glowing Hive chitin stuck to it. The weapons actual stats and perks would need to be revisited, (because the old PoE weapons were terrible, for the most part) but that was just an idea I had. Tell me what you think about this in the comments.

1 ReplyEdited by CozmicClockwork: 11/6/2015 2:21:23 PMAmbush boss rounds were r andomly an boss wave or one with really hard modifyers happend out of order. There may be abtine limit as even Variks would be surprised and say things like "That wretched knight should not be here, Kill it dead, kill it fast!" His announcement would definitly tell you this wasn't a planned let alone good situation.

This should be a thing.

1 ReplyThe biggest failure of PoE was that it was limited to 3 players. Make it 6 and scale the encounters accordingly then we would have a fun experience.
-
2 RepliesMake it into a monthly survival event and once the team wipes it's game over. Unlimited rounds with a random boss fight every five rounds. The more rounds you survive, the better the rewards. Maybe have Varicks sell boons similar to those in ToO.
-
was more of a chore than the weekly raid
-
Love this I was thinking traps like in the mid map add a bit more strategy to it and u would pay glimmer and it could kill some of the smaller adds
-
More fallen looking armor would be nice, at least helmet wise. God forbid we get another airplane head or that weird spider hunter helmet.

4 RepliesI don't understand why bungie keeps abandoning old raids, strikes, and things like PoE. If they would just update the old stuff to give relevant rewards and make some adjustments, people would play it.

If it introduced more Tanks!

I enjoyed POE. Good concept decently implemented, and one that will definitely add to the variety and innovation as Destiny grows. I have been tempted to hop in for fun with my new light level. It's shorter than a Raid and good destructive fun without the pressure of being the wrong level to finish. 2 things I'd like to see if it came back: -better rewards applicable to my light level (and no, I ultimately didn't care much for prison-specific perks. Decent idea but if be okay leaving it in the dust.) - matchmaking. I get why it wasn't included in year 1. But I think I'd rather have it than not, and deal with the randoms of I dare to. At least for more than one difficulty level.

Yaaaaaaaassssssss

Bungie should have made the game so you had the go through all the stages without skipping them. You had to do vanilla, the CE, then PoE before TTK. This would have meant new players could have experienced all stages and veteran could go back for nostalgia and nothing would be truly left behind. As it is, new players must buy all versions but can skip most of the game once they reach lvl 40 (a few hours/days) and other parts can no longer be experienced as originally intended
-
I think we all agree that we originally asked for a FIREFIGHT, not what PoE is
-
Imagine cod zombies mixed with destiny. Holy shit.

19 RepliesIf they update poe then people who bought house of wolves but not ttk lose every single thing they paid to have access to Since trials is exclusive to the max level of ttk. I guess they'd still have a few story missions, but nothing worth what they paid to have the whole package.

If it was a insane way to farm endgrams yuuup

Endless mode. No stages, no breaks, just constant spawns of increasingly complex and difficult enemies, with rewards based on number of kills/how long you lasted. A group killing 100 enemies in five minutes would get a smaller reward than a group that killed 300 in the same amount of time.

2 RepliesMore bosses and loot that isn't literal diarrhea would make me play it.

As far as the Taken rounds go.... Imagine a Taken Skolas!
-
Loved Poe, bump
-
If so.. Well they better give 20+ Coins each difficulty. Because damn,I've never been so low on coins until TTK. >.<
-
Really like the Endless Taken round idea. Now that would be worth playing, Zombies with rewards, hell yeah!

Bungie really should take pointers from the community on this sort of stuff
