Prison of Elders NEEDS Checkpoints
Bungie
I just spent 4 hours getting "stuff" done in the Level 35 Prison of Elders arena. We get to skolas and you guessed it my two team mates get booted from the team. They are now unable to join me ( I know they SHOULD be able to if I wipe) but they just keep joining then booted straight away. After 20 plus attempts to join I had to leave to orbit as I could not solo Skolas. While I was in orbit my team mates tried to join and the SAME ISSUE. This is a BUG and because there is no check point I now have to do the Hardest thing in the game again because the game broke.
I know you can check the logs and see that all that I have said is true.
I know your are trying to stop people farming the check points but there must be a better smart way than this. Millions of your loyal gamers' will not have the time to sit through hours of game play in a single sitting. Not to mention the fact that laggy servers and booting regularly happens in the game and going to orbit and reloading the raid check points is a regular and proven process.
Please fix this and give us check points between the Rounds. Maybe you add a forth chest for a those players that do a single straight run through. Please don't punish the parents and gamers that have to work. We need to have check points.....
Come on I missed out on completing the POE and ascending my Fatebringer. I hope to see an apology in the postmasters office in the reef and the gear I missed out on. address it to shadow202101 PSN !!

We won't need checkpoints when TTK comes out, since we're gonna be over lvl 35

It's so true!! All my friends want is the triumphs and skolas is the last thing they need, plus we're all going off to college so it would be real nice to play a round, take a break, go to orbit and come back later, because frankly Skolas himself isn't hard, but having to deal with all those issues, it becomes a frustrating nightmare, defs need checkpoints

Edited by The Quillster: 8/14/2015 2:09:47 AMI had a similar experience. My friends and I tore through the first 5 rounds (and THREE boss fights) pretty easily, when I had to go for an hour. One of my friends left to do crucible while he was waiting but unfortunately the guy left behind had the worst Internet connection. When I got back, we spent a strenuous 10 minutes trying to join back but my friend got booted then. Kinda disappointed that we didn't try it again considering how easy it was up to skolaa though...

Edited by IllustriousYeti: 8/13/2015 2:50:48 PMbump, it being nearly 3 months since this was posted and checkpoints still haven't been added tells you something about how much they listen to feedback, lol

Totally agree - Bungie needs to add CP'S to POE 35 and add matchmaking. Their designers are new to mmo design, they will figure it out eventually.
-
1 ReplyTotally agree. After 4 hrs, skolas was only taking 4-5 damage even with servitors down. It's a joke. Also, he has way too much health. 3 gjallarhorns with WoL, and 14 rockets each. That's just too much.
-
Yes, PoE needs Check Point. It's longer that a raid.
-
I completely 100% agree bro. I spent 5 hours on level 35 only to get stuck at Skolas, leaving me with nothing but an angry wife and a ruined night. If raids can have checkpoints, so can the prison of elders. No one should ever be expected to put out that much time at once, some people work for a living.
-
I agree POE needs check points!
-
No kidding. Its really pissing me off that theres no CP's in PoE. I dont care if it only lasts 24 hours, or its locked that only those people at the cp can rejoin. Random DC's or game crashes, server lag etc is ruining any chance of having fun in there.
-
Yep Agreed.
-
This a million times
-
Happened AGAIN !!! This time error code Caterpillar and PSN was down for 1.5 hours. Not Bungie's fault I know but Check points people it is not that hard !!!!
-
9 RepliesAll bungie has to do to enable checkpoints in POE is to make it so you have to already have the checkpoint to join. So if you have the checkpoint then you can rejoin, if you don't have the checkpoint the you can't join. This would stop the checkpoint abuse as the only way to get the checkpoint would be to actually play through until you reach the relevant checkpoints. I really don't know why bungie didn't implement this simple mechanic 😒

1 ReplyI am a father, a husband, and the president of a union. I do not have the time to play this game for hours on end. It is ridiculous to not have save points. Those of us who have lives outside Destiny would still like to play and participate in the Prison of Elders. After 2 runs at 35 and about 5 hours each, we still have not completed level 35. For this reason, I have decided to quite playing Destiny. Bunjie needs to put in save points or there will be many people like me who just decide this game is not worth their time. That new Witcher game looks pretty cool or maybe I will wait for COD Black Ops 3.

If you have the medal you can rejoin the game. If you have no medal you can no join. Simples

2 Replies[b]Checkpoints are a great idea just need to make sure they are character specific and only last a short time like an hour. [/b] So once you have finished that play session and comeback tomorrow or latter you have to start again sounds possible ?

3 RepliesBungie, I started a level 32 prison of elders map with my fellow companions, we were doing fine (we only died 2-3 times) and we reached the final boss Valus Traug (or something like that) whom is super overpowered, but thats not why I am here, we were about to kill him when a wall of phalanxs appeared out of nowhere and glitched me inside a wall and I could not kill myself, later all of my companions died (and could not use radiance) we stayed there for over an hour, until we had the idea of one of us leaving, coming back and reviving the rest. one of us left but could not join. all of us were dissapointed because we lost an hour of our lives for nothing, and the funny thing is that we were about to kill him. Today we lost our opportunity to become legend.

You know another damn bug that's really annoying: every time you get a major or boss(excluding raid bosses) down to a slither of health it regenerate just enough for it to survive and kill which is something that you don't want in prison of elders-example- skolas killed my teammate down to a slither I was behind him ready to take him out with my rockets- health regeneration!!!!!!!!!!!!!- just enough for him to kill me. They can add big stuff to a game but they can't fix the little things that ruin it. 3-4hrs plus.

Edited by Falaphal Guard: 5/24/2015 4:29:26 PMBump. For a comparison for the other end activity, You can take a break from the trials in between matches if you want. Meaning you don't have to do all 9 matches at once. Why not at the prison? Maybe have a checkpoint at right before the final round and none other? That way you can't just farm the chest. It is an "endgame" activity, and all the other end activities have checkpoints/you can take a break. You can add other players if you go in and wipe though. Not too much of a pain.
-
1 ReplyAlso really Bungie?! the second or third time my team killed skolas the main damned boss and yet we still die by mines that you have to dismantle-which made us spend 3-5hrs on the same damn thing. Do you guys know I've never heard of a boss battle in a game to where you kill the main boss and die by a stupid alternative objective. We won the minute he died end of story mines shouldn't be able to kill you.
-
1 ReplyYES IT DOES
-
+1 for saving checkpoints. Players can only join at the start of a round while the airlock doors are still closed. You can just wipe otherwise and then let them join.
-
BLAM!! It doesn't need checkpoints but it should be easier to get people in game if their booted or someone decides to leave!
-
I agree. This weeks challenges make last weeks look like child's play. We need checkpoints I don't have eight hours to try and beat something give up and try again later from the begining.
