Why is Horde mode not a thing?
Because this game is so heavily AI based it baffles me (yes, baffles me, and I don't normally use that word) that Destiny has no horde mode. For those of you who don't know what a horde mode is, it is a round based game where certain amounts of AI are pitted against you and you must defeat these wave in order to progress to the next wave. It is nearly a staple in the gaming world and is such for a reason, people like them. Instead of doing the same missions or getting frustrated with multiplayer, some people like to just beat up on some AI in a small and controlled environment, such as myself. The best example that I have and still play is Gears of War 2 and 3 horde. Some of the best memories I had of gaming was me and my friends beating waves 1-50, beating up on the AI, joking around and having fun. Now you might say you can do the same with the missions but the only problem is that you have to start and stop missions putting breaks in the action, and as for patrol, there is never enough enemies to satisfy me or my friends because they are usually just groups of 5 dregs that we slaughter with the flick of our pinkies. Horde mode keeps the action going almost non stop. Hell, this could be a very convenient and fun way to acquire glimmer rather than going to the exclusion zone, killing 8 majors and offing yourself. If you want to include lore into this you could easily do it. For example, Dead Orbit has created a small colony on a planet that the Darkness has not touched and is now being Invaded and Guardians are being called in to help to hold off the Darkness. The Vanguard want guardians to hold off the Fallen because they are making a second assault at Twilight Gap. There is so much lore opportunity (which is something the community has been begging for) that it would be easy to implement and I don't think that many people would be opposed to. Not to mention that so many people have given great ideas on how destiny can create its own version of Horde. All I am asking is that we the players can enjoy Destiny in more ways than the same missions, strikes, and raids and let us enjoy some of the possible experiences that we may occur and let Destiny leave a legendary memory.

Maybe because every game isn't supposed to have the same features? I've never once felt myself wanting to just fight endless hordes of enemies, that's already all this game is.... just not in one area.

1 ReplyGo to the abyss on Crota's End and run to the end. When you cross the bridge, don't go into the light. Just stand there at the end of the bridge. There's your horde mode. Seriously, I've found myself doing this a few times in this past week. It's alright solo, but it's way more fun with 2 or more people. I like when someone joins and you have to push back the thrall, jump over the knights, dodge the ogre's blasts, and run back to the start to revive them.

Pretty sure every time you put Dinklebot into something, it turns into Horde Mode.. #lolBungieplz
-
I think thats how the reef raid is going to be like.
-
Go play gears of war if you want to horde.
-
I would like this if they had a tier based reward system for it. Maybe not reward exotics but reward legendary engrams if you make it past a threshold level that got pretty damn difficult
-
1 ReplyIt is. Every time Dinklebot opens a door.
-
Coz we're not playing Gears Of War
-
We do have horde mode. It's called the story... or campaign if you want.
-
You can have it you wait in Skyshock. But only for 3minutes

2 RepliesTruth be told Horde Mode would be a great idea for Destiny, however the point is not to survive and eventually get overwhelmed and die. This game is about joining up and fighting through the mission and win. However it can still work. The Tower is huge with plenty of space and the hall for the Iron Banner is rarely opened. Setup a Defense Command Post, where Horde Mode is done as "Strikes" where you are dispatched to a location that is about to be assaulted by the Cabal with their hover-tanks or the Fallen with the Walkers. Your Outpost is fitted with turrets and towers, perhaps a "Conflux" or power generator for the base that once it takes too much damage, you've lost. Survive the assault, defend the base, and get rewarded. This game has been all about going out there to take the fight to the enemy, now they're pissed and coming after yours. It could be a "Public Event" that gets announced in the Tower, you rush to the Command Post and get partied up with randoms or your own fireteam and go.

How about a training simulator in the tower where they send wave after wave until your overwhelmed. Give you the option to have up to 6 people and scale number of enemies accordingly. Have zavala run it, and award vangaurd rep for each run. I feel like it would be pretty popular.
-
It is, it's called every single -blam!-in level in the game
-
Damn I miss gears. We should have a firefight of the Moon Vanguard raid that failed.
-
1 ReplyHave you played the campaign yet? That's like every mission.
-
3 RepliesI would quit this game if horde mode was added.
-
2 RepliesBecause basically the whole game is "Defend this while I break open this door" or "Defend here while I steal some information" the whole game is basically Horde mode.
-
14 RepliesBecause this is not GEARs, there does not need to be a horde mode in it just because other games had it. and even it was there players would expect the monsters to drop engrams/glimmer for easy farming all the time and not just at the end of final wave of that match. Horde mode is not a staple of the gaming world by any means. there are many games that do not have it and never will. So no it is not a staple of the gaming world. It is just something you like and want in the game. You just want an easy farming area again like the loot caves and no that should not be put in the game ever for that reason alone.
-
i think that would be awesome.

1 ReplyIt is a thing it's In every damn mission and strike you'll know it starts when you put your ghost down to open something.
-
It was fun in GoW

Edited by Vulcan_Blitz: 3/1/2015 2:54:39 AMDefend warsat with 3-4 guardians for an hour just to get a few blue engram and spinmetal or worst, get nothing? No, thanks I'll pass.
-
Yeah have at the end the rewards you've been rewarded and had a point system to buy certain guns to help your or armor to help you maybe :)
-
How about also adding a public event at the tower like this?
-
I would like to see this. Especially if they implemented a reward system, where the waves get progressively harder and the rewards greater.
