Does PoE need save checkpoints??

YES, give PoE save Checkpoints so players can complete it in more than one sitting

NO, the PoE is perfect and Bungie has nailed it!

After playing level 35 prison of elders for approximately 3 hours into the dirty AM time zone I was forced to conceit defeat when one of my team mates had to call it quits. Sadly we where in the final round teasingly close to defeating Skolas. Now I am so emotionally abused that I will not want to attempt playing again for weeks when hopefully some of the disgust has left my immediate memory bank. The question really becomes; Should there rightfully be a save checkpoint as with VoG or similar raids? Considering the time and effort it takes to reach Skolas it seems ludicrous that there is no ability to save the game and return as you could in the raids. I formally request a vote from the community. Surely I can't be the only person burned by this travesty!! Bungie - the game takes so much of a players time to progress, please don't try and ruin my life with poor design choices that can be avoided. I don't mind a grind, but this was just plain cruel.

  • It's crazy to NOT have checkpoints. I find a way to spend a fair amount of time on destiny each week. This includes NF, Weekly, Poe 28,32,34,35 and the petra bounties. Pvp? NO. never. Wouldn't have near the time for that. I have 2 characters, 3 would be unmanageable IMO. but, to each his own. Then proably some other bounties as well, randomly if i need to level up a gun/armor. But i don't believe i'll have much to level up besides by queenbreak bow and lord of wolves exotics. Just not many new good guns to acquire unless i "git gud" and start playing ToO Anyway, here's the deal: This is the first week i did skolas. Last week? Yea, i was set. 365 longbow void, 365 void hmg......bad team This week i got it. I DID NOT play rounds 1 through 5. I jumped on at a skolas CP each time. I can't possibly do 5 rounds plus skolas in one sitting. Just can't happen in my life. I'm older and have the family, kids, wife, honey-do lists, demanding and high stress career but i still find time for games. If there were checkpoints i could find a couple guys that are good and we would run it from the beginning. Running with these teams i find on recruitment can be a massive fail, we get it done but it takes literally 2.5 hours(not continuous, at ALL. Def took several breaks) between the 2 teams i jumped in on, or i find a group that we wipe a total of 5 times and we're done. Just like that. Can't be picky when i don't have the option to save and invite who i want from my friends list. Just gotta get what i can. lvl 35 and possibly 34 should be have CPs. While they're at it might as well put in CPs for the others as well. I see how it can be abused and i see that it IS being abused already so what the fuk? Just give us CPs and we'll all be happy. Let me know how this hurts YOU. If it's "well I put in 5 hours. Why should you get to take breaks or join in for a 15 minute skolas fight and get the rewards?" No, that's not a reason. I'm not hurtin gyou by playing in any way i can. That's like seeing someone get a .2 KD in crucible and getting a good gun. Did the gun/prize/loot that someone else got somehow magically remove it from your loot table? hmmm It won't break the gaem lmao, i think Bungie has the pups trained to think that basic shit can't be done by devs........ It's funny
