Let me get it out of the way, I understand why there isn't a check point in Prison of Elders. One look at an LFG site and seeing all the check point posts must annoy the developers. That being said, I feel like they are punishing players who can't get on for over an hour at a time. I've tried everything when it comes to getting past this. I have joined a clan, and am part of a larger group of mature gamers. This worked well as a solution to doing Raids. I wish I could get on at the same time as all my friends but this isn't always possible. Last night being an exception, for the third week in a row a group of my friends, with whom I've gamed with for about a decade now, navigated the prison of elders to Skolas. We have yet to beat Skolas, mainly in part due to the fact that we run out of time. Secondly not having a check point means we have to navigate through about 35-45 minutes worth of content all over again to get back. This means we never really get a chance to problem solve our issues with fighting Skolas. Bungie developers, I've spent $60 on the game, and then an additional $30 on the two expansions. I love this game, more so than I ever thought I would. I hope you guys are listening and can continue to provide great content and refinements. I know people want things like larger vault space and cosmetic things, but checkpoints are a core part of the game that was removed from endgame content in your newest release. I'm not asking for anything that wasn't in the game previously. I just want you to maintain the mechanics of the game so I can continue to enjoy it.
