im just wondering who in the community actually likes it still. Just to be clear this is after the first time you completed it.
i thought the new boss fight mechanics were cool but it just got boring after a while.
the video made me curious.
edit 1:
BL4DE RUNNER UK: [quote]It's ok for "Something to do"
I like Destiny, but honestly HoW is just 'filler' to the community to keep them quiet until TTK.
TTK marks the start of year 2; New Weapons, Armour, Exotics, Bounties, Yada Yada Yada.
You can't take year 1 damage weapons forward we are told, I.E. 365 weapons.
This being so, what is the point of HoW?
All that stuff is 365 damage, but 365 is end of year one, no taking it forward.
The gear you are grinding for now becomes obsolete in September.
It's our 'stop gap' for some variation, scraps from Activision's table to keep the community interested for 2 more months.
I like playing Destiny for the entertainment.
I'm not interested in the politics of pricing, cut content, stats or other stuff.
I play Destiny because i find it entertaining.
TTK will make or break this game IMO. There will always be a loyal player base of people who will play no matter what.
They also like to be entertained and play for their own reasons.
If TTK turns out to be more DLC than Expansion, then I'll be playing other games.
The only reason i don't now is because nothing entertains me like Destiny does, Despite it politics and faults.
The are lots of new games coming soon that could easily drag me away from Destiny permanently. (Welcome back Agent 47!)
I'd still like to play Destiny, while playing those new games.
I don't mind the grind if it's worthwhile (in the context of a video game).
HoW just doesn't seem so worthwhile is all for me.[/quote] 👆this👆 pretty much sums up how i feel about it
edit 2: if anyone is looking for an actual horde mode you can run the first part of crota on easy and make it across the bridge, one ogre will spawn next to you kill it but not the others on the other sude of the bridge, at this point you/your fireteam just sits back and fights off infinite amounts of thrall cursed thrall and knights for no gain. the less people you have the more fun it is, i do it whenever i have nothing to do its pretty fun.
if you all do 👆this👆 tell me about your experience and how you feel about it, i want to see if im the only one who enjoys it

1 RespuestaI have one thing to say... The taken king is supposed to have the same amount if not more content than the vanilla Destiny.
-
Clearly the Prison of Elders was meant to be the actual raid for HoW considering that many raid mechanics are present (kills don't count for glimmer/bounties in the PoE and you can even unlock raid achievements in PoE).
-
By most accounts an abject failure. I'm still convinced it was a last minute add on that got thrown in out of fear of a huge player backlash. Imagine the HoW expansion without it and you have another TDB.
-
I like it, but it's not random enough. Make rounds 1-4 random for the 32-35 modes and I'll be happy
-
2 RespuestasI really dig it. Not sure why it gets hate. It's quite challenging, but doable. Each of the main bosses have their own special mechanic that keeps it interesting. It doesn't require the painstaking team gathering of a raid. It can also be a lot of fun and is quite rewarding, if you ask me.
-
I just use it for strange coins and motes possible exotics
-
Tedious, claustrophobic crap.
-
I don't mind doing it
-
I only do it for the etheric light which I'm not really sure what to do with at this point anyway. And what's the point if the weapons will be obsolete soon anyway. Pretty stupid IMO.
-
It'd be nice if the weekly resets made it to where waves had some wacky modifier combinations
-
The reward system just makes it unappealing to me.
-
I remember they talked about how they were aiming for replayability, but it's actually just the same stuff recycled in different order.
-
first few times it was entertaining. Now ? Lol
-
I wish lvl 32 + 34 were match making. As for Lvl 35 recruitment needed.

2 RespuestasPOE would be fun if : there were 30 possible maps that were completely random rotation 50 different End Bosses, completely random who you get , and each one of the bosses have 5 completely different skill sets that is random on what one they use need to inject some special variations of the normal Mobs,, this is a Prison, make 1 out of every 10 normal Mobs a Bad ass , maybe missing Half its face , some special variation on its weapons, some different armor some completely unique NEW mobs mixed in each encounter , something not related to any race in the game , something completely alien or bestial ,, currently Ogres are the rarest of the mobs in the game and even those are over used anymore . the Bonus or Detrimental effects were much more varied and the Higher levels you would have 2 or 3 buffs or debuffs at a time or a mixture of either. ( and Make the Armor Buffs Use-full where you would want to get all the armors to be able to switch in and out gear for each round to enhance or counter the buffs/debuffs , at-least on the harder difficulties ) all mobs on random spawn points so you didn't know if 50 were coming out of one door, or 5 out of every door at the same time . easy way to implement various maps into POE = use the PvP maps to mix in with the original POE maps , this would allow them more time to work on Special Mobs and Bosses for POE

8 RespuestasEditado por RITO Frag: 7/8/2015 9:09:21 PMIf anyone is looking to do the 32 version of prison of elders. Could I join? I am LVL 30. Titan Gamer tag: RITO Frag

From weeks 1-3 I thought it was amazing and new and fun. Then it got a little repetitive. Now that we're back to the same boss fights and the modifiers are the exact same as they were the first couple of weeks, it's not fun to me anymore. Just boring. But it's easy rep and cores/EL I guess.
-
It was fine, it filled a small hole in the game, I don't think it was a raid replacement and I think they could have made it a lot more exciting and creative but I would not say the gameplay was awful, the rewards and reason to do it mostly is pointless but for enjoyment its ok I guess.

1 RespuestaI do PoE35 3x each week since HoW dropped with randoms cuz it's fun. I have over 35 Etheric Lights catching dust in my vault and almost all Burn weapons except the Pulse Rifle Skolas can drop (catching dust in vault too) as well as all Elder Cypher weapons (guess what they do in my vault) multiple times. Dunno how much longer I will do it though cuz it is getting repetitive for real. It's not even hard anymore...

1 RespuestaFirst time I did. On each level that is. Second time I just did skolas for another ship and elder cipher. and then farmed 34 boss for the points. Have not been to PoE for about a month now?
-
1 RespuestaA good post with a good question I think poe is amazing but the effort put in to it doesn't cut it for what's given, thats what gets me.
-
Meh. It has its moments
-
1 RespuestaThe only way poe is gonna be good is if they put one real good gun in there to get. Right now the guns I get from a lvl 28 strike are better the a poe only gun from lvl 35 poe.
-
2 RespuestasThey coulda done so much more, its a shame. Simple patterns. Sub-par loot This weeks 34 will b next weeks 32. And once the same run comes back around it will b the exact same. No modifier changes, and no faction wave changes. 35 will always be the same except for the Skolas fight where only the modifiers change 28 matches will always be no repeating factions for the first 4 waves and then a random final enemy. And the 20 or so modifiers they mentioned turned out to be a handful of like maybe half that. It had so much potential, but in a game where everything else is random why are these encounters not?
-
1 RespuestaI did it for 4 weeks, haven't done it since
