PoE waste of time

I appreciate the complexity and challenge of it overall, but it's just disappointing to spend hours on it and have nothing to show if you can't finish or get a check point to retry later. At least in raids, we could finish all but atheon or Crota and come back to it the next day, but still walk away with shards/energy/armor/weapons. It took my group a few runs to figure out the mechanics of this weeks 34, and I ran 35 got to Skolas and took about 5 tries to figure out the first 1/3 of the fight to go by smoothly and quickly, after hours of arc burning shanks dreg grenades and passing the poison back and forth while reviving between, to have to just stop because I'm an adult and work. Leaving with nothing gained and knowing I will have to start over to get there is just disappointing. I have yet to see anything in this new expansion worth my time or effort to obtain besides etheric light to level up my previous vault and Crota weapons. I have 3 of every gun worth having for each of my characters just waiting for ascension. The people I play with aren't bad players, and we will have it figured out eventually so it's not that time consuming, however it's just bad design to have that much effort put into a new area and have absolutely nothing to show but wasted time, no glimmer, a few less synths and a desire to just not play.

    • I looking at this as a waste of time only because the end POE reward worth nothing Like if you got lucky and managed to get one key well then you get something but if you didn't get lucky no key no reward and no point to play .. And while it's kicking friends out and than making them unable to join back.. Totally f...

      This is the epiphany you and many players are coming to. Whether or not PoE 34/35 is hard or easy, [i]is it worth the effort?[/i] For myself, the answer is "no". Light level 42? Meh. Mediocre weapons? Meh. I've decided that I might run some matchmaking 28's or even the occasional 32, but to go through the other two levels for only an RNG chance to get a weapon I want just doesn't seem worth it. I'll get my other two 'toons to 34 if/when I do. As it is, I don't have any good reason to want to be 34 anyway other than to say I have 3 34's.

      • OP is right on the dot. Seriously, the arc burn makes this nigh on impossible and we all run out of daily play time eventually. And kudos to figuring out how to get to the second phase consistently.

      • " the reason is most of us players think that there " (invincible) <--- your not. Your getting shot at. When a soldier in Iraq gets shot at by the enemy they would get to Cover and avoid getting injured at all cost because you'd be DEAD! I see it all the time My point is stop running into battle you have a long ranged weapon use it idiot! Do you understand this? If you do It will make you and your Fireteam Stronger. Just get to cover stop running out in the open!!!!

          • I am feeling the exact same way. The effort and time you have to put in to Destiny are not worth it st all.

            The no-checkpoint thing is annoying. They want to prevent people from sharing around checkpoints at the boss, sure, but sometimes life gets in the way. Seems like they could have handled checkpointing by saying that you can't join at Checkpoint X if you haven't, at some other time [i]that week[/i], already done all stages prior to Checkpoint X. So no joining at the PoE boss if you don't have rounds 1-4 already checked off from a previous attempt.

            • Beat Skokas in 4 attempts. It's all in the arc snipers and rotations.
