New Event Idea: Riot of the Elders

So, now that a good majority of us had had some time to enjoy the Prison of Elders, I had an idea that kind of goes hand in hand with something that has been on the minds of others for a while now. While PoE gave us a horde/survival mode, it still didn't give us the Continual Horde mode that many of us have been asking for, where we would go into an area and hold out for as long as we possibly can. If you remember back in the PoE Reveal stream they kind of called what was happening a "Prison Riot", but if you think about it, it was actually more of a controlled combat scenario, instead of a full out riot situation where enemies would keep coming after you. So, today, I have a brand new idea that would add a more uniquely flavored challenge mode to the Prison of Elders, and I'm also going to bring back my old enemy exotic weapons idea to go with this as rewards for this event. [b]Intro & Document Link[/b] Since last time people didn't feel "safe" going to a web page I had set up for the event, I instead just put together a GDoc for this whole idea. Be warned, this is a very long 26 page document containing the idea itself, some changes to the game that would go with it, and the details on the nine new exotic guns that would be dropped as rewards: [b][url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/15TngcdV_Ze3msJuAf5UxRtZ73e1bn89m8z9XAaevrtw/edit?usp=sharing]LINK TO DOCUMENT[/url][/b] [b]Basic Details[/b] For those who just want the quick rundown, here is goes. Every other week, players who have their House of Judgement rank to level 3 will be summoned to The Reef by Variks, who is in the process of trying to contain a riot inside the Prison of Elders. Obviously, one Fallen Warden cannot hope to quell a riot of this scale, so he wants you to go in and to put an end to it. This event runs every other week and goes for the duration of the week. Players will receive a [b]Riot Entry Token[/b] from Variks in their postmaster, and they'll be allowed to enter a special Level 35 Prison of Elders activity called [b]X Block Riot[/b] where X is the name of an enemy faction. You'll need to have the Token to enter the activity, and you need to have House of Judgement Level 3 to get the Token from Variks. This faction does not change for the duration of the event, but the next time the event comes around, it could be different. Once your team goes into the room, it closes down, and then the battle begins. You'll survive wave after wave of enemy forces. Nightfall is turned on for the whole activity and players are on 30 second respawn timers, so once your team dies, that's game over. To spice up the activity a bit, there will be five intro waves, and then the game goes onto a cycle loop (So from this point forwards, assume wave 6, is actually wave 1 in the cycle). On the first wave of the cycle, a modifier is added to the activity. Players then need to fight nine waves of enemies. At this point the 10th wave begins, which contains a mini-boss from that faction. Once you beat the mini-boss, the remaining enemies die, and this cycle ends for the next to begin. At the end of the cycle, the team gets rewards based on their House of Judgement level and how far into the activity they are. The total number of modifiers increases by one, and then the cycle begins again. So for instance, Wave 6 will have one modifier, Wave 16 will have two, and so on. Rewards will vary from House of Judgement / Queen's Wrath Reputation, Planetary Materials, Engrams, PoE Gear, QW Gear, and Exotics (Including the Elder Cipher and the nine new guns). For more information on what would drop when, see the document, I have a table listed there for your reading purposes. Also, during the event, Variks will sell the Riot Entry Tokens for 75 Motes of Light, and they also become potential drops from the small chests in the Prison of Elders, allowing for players to have more than one chance at rewards in the event. [b]New Exotics[/b] To make this event more enticing for players to participate, we'll add nine more guns to the game based off of the remaining enemy weapons in the game that we currently don't have. From my topics in the past, I've provided details on perk selection and stats for these pieces, however the final version is in the document listed above. [b]TL;DR[/b] Basically, Bungie can add a new event running on a bi-weekly cycle. Every time this event comes around, you can participate in a second PoE Level 35 mode, but it will be a continual horde/survival mode. Players must be HoJ Rank 3, and will need a special token to enter the activity. There are lots of rewards and nine new exotic guns that can drop from this special event. Full details are available in [b][url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/15TngcdV_Ze3msJuAf5UxRtZ73e1bn89m8z9XAaevrtw/edit?usp=sharing]THIS DOCUMENT[/url][/b] So what does everyone think? Would this be something you'd like to participate in? Would it make the Prison more interesting? More Rewarding?
