PoE
It is certainly fun so far. I have a feeling that the destroy/disable mines objectives will get old very quick though. I was surprised at how the difficulty ratchets up for the boss wave however. The level 28 run I did last night saw no deaths up until that round where we had somewhere around 8. It's a little disappointing that there aren't many new enemy mechanics aside from the rainbow shields on higher difficulties. We have been fighting bullet sponges since launch now, but maybe Bungie sees it as a tried and true activity. I don't see PoE holding my attention like the Raids still do, but at least they are a fun new way to get sweet lewts.

I absolutely breezed through PoE level 34 when I was level 33. No wipes. Contrast this with Crota hard, which is much much tougher being a level lower. I was actually shocked at how easy it was. 35 @ 34 might be the only challenge. It's no raid at all.

You are wrong about no new enemy mechanics though. There's one called Urzok's Rage on level 34. I won't spoil, but let's just say that Angel of Light finally has a use :-p
