PoE Checkpoints (Bump This)
Bungie, you need to do something about Prison of Elders. I keep seeing posts about players getting booted by people after they beat Skolas and others who lose connection and lose their progress. You have checkpoints on other parts in the game. You should have it for this.

13 RepliesI know the point of this thread is about losing connections and being booted, but I feel like this is related. After close to 3 hours it was getting too late last night to continue. We hit round 4 and just ran out of time. Round 3 was ridiculous with the amount of enemies that spawn with the mines. We hit the wall hard on that one until we finally broke through to 4 and realized it was time to call it a night. I have no motivation to go back for another attempt. PoE 35 feels like far too much work to make it a fun experience, which it is not. How many people in here said once they beat Skolas they'll never do it again? That was my plan, until I got crushed last night. Not only crushed in the arena, but crushed because beating Skolas is the last requirement to fulfill for my moments of triumph. I put a lot of time into completing the other requirements, and now it feels like a giant waste of time because I don't plan on visiting PoE 35 again. On reflection of the whole PoE experience, I had hoped for something more. The basic template for playing these levels is to stay around the periphery shooting tons of bad guys until you're forced into the open to dismantle mines or take out a target. The mechanics for this mode seems lacking, and it's really disappointing considering the excitement I had for it coming into HoW; not only for a fresh game type, but because a 3-person fireteam was a welcome change. PoE is end game content, yes? So are raids. Raids have checkpoints. So should PoE. Not just for people who value their time, but for the OP who has a very valid point with disconnections and booting. It's really that simple. See you next time when the Taken King comes out, Destiny. I'll be there, without my emblem.

Agreed. Having a party leader boot me to bring in a friend at Skolas is beyond stupid, or a lost connection and no invite back. It's a problem.

8 RepliesInstead of checkpoints: Skolas becomes a separate activity. No rounds, no waves. It can be accessed directly from Orbit. PoE 35 becomes a standalone challenge without the 6th round. Skolas can only be accessed after beating PoE on 35. (It's a checkpoint..... But only for Skolas.)

2 RepliesI thought it needed it at one point, but realized that the rewards suck and knowing ttk is coming out. There is no reasons to do it at all.

1 ReplyThat's a major flaw in my opinion. The supremely idiotic perception that 'giving away' Checkpoints to the final boss is somehow worse than the reality that: players get booted by trolls so they can invite their own friends, or players who lose connection, or players who have a crying baby in the background they have to go feed, Is just beyond the pale.

1 ReplyMy question is: in what reality is the unintended consequence of people literally stealing the final boss on spawn worse than 'giving away' the CP??!! And besides that, people have real lives too, Skolas can take a long time sometimes, and if you got go tend your screaming kids or have relations with your significant other, well a CP would go a long ways to making this game less of a debacle!

Bump ....spent a few hours on skolas today and had to hand over the final round to another as I had to leave ...... I do not begrudge the other who was lucky to inherit all my hard work but why can't we have check points to save all my effort from being wasted

3 RepliesEdited by Tora: 8/14/2015 5:09:29 AMI think this would be a fair thing to put in to the game, like maybe at a certain round, and the checkpoint will (obviously) be lost on daily reset. someone said before, that it would probably break how PoE works. putting it in now would just make it easier for players, but making it less of a challenge (which is what bungie wants, right?) The game still needs to be a challenge, but maybe it'll be like at round 3, because 3 is somewhat in the middle, 4 seems a bit to close to the end, so just at round 3 would be best. Either the start of round 3, or the end... probably the start though (my opinion) EDIT: bungie wants the game to be challenging, but not so challenging where it's nearly impossible. that's why there is no checkpoints in it right now I guess, but clearly it's starting to get harder for the new players // players who made their other classes and need to start collecting stuff for that class and such.

2 RepliesDoesn't matter anymore, It's all irrelevant now.

There was a good idea posted that if you have done all the rounds (not just invited to help for Skolas) then you should be able to restart at the next round. This should prevent "grabbing checkpoints" and provide some relief. Hopefully they decide to keep POE relevant and implement something like this along with useful rewards.

Edited by LordDuck04: 8/21/2015 6:10:48 AMwhy? there is ZERO point to do any of the content. i was one who believed it needed to happen but honestly we have been told that the legendary gear is worthless, all the exotics people liked are not being brought along in the game so they can continue to give us turds with a different color corn it
