So far I did one run through of the lvl 28 PoE. I had fun but still can't decide if this is more replayable then a raid even though it changes but the concept is pretty much the same everytime.
Edit: Glad to see so many replies! By most of the responses people are happy with PoE which is great!
[b][u]update[/u][/b]: I did PoE lvl 32 and 34. Got to admit 34 was a huge challenge since we were all lvl 33 but very satisfying none the less. It is a hell of a lot more intense then any raid I had played before. I have to admit I feel a lot better about it. I just hope they add to PoE every expansion. Its way to great for them not to.
[b][u]update:[/u][/b] After giving it more time I still enjoy it but I see 2 major flaws. First flaw being, to get loot it requires you to farm for keys which turns into a good amount of time either in patrol waiting for enemies to eventually spawn in hopes of finding a chest that grants you a key or doing lvl 28 PoE over and over again. Flaw two being, too many players are still having ghorn as a requirement for other players to join their fireteam so they can avoid all the mechanics of fighting the final boss. I have a ghorn but you start to feel bad for those who have been unlucky to have it drop for them.

7 RepliesWhy look at it as a "replacement". Bungie said a raid will be released later this year. So it's more like an alternative to a raid, or a additional even. No one ever said the dates for a raid release MUST coincide with the release date of a dlc.
