Prison of Elders is not horde mode. It is merely similar. (Destiny)

I don't like it that much honestly, I prefer the raids, but I also didn't expect it to be ODST firefight or horde mode. It's its own thing and should be judged on its own.

I'm judging it as an 'endgame activity'. By that standard, it falls very short.

I dunno. The most fun I've had prior was the Templar's Well. Rolling the 34 POE was at least as fun as that, maybe more so.

Sweet jesus that Arc-Hive-Mine portion. Murderous.

Personally, I found it tedious. Getting through didn't feel like an accomplishment for me; we just did a slightly better job hiding behind cover that one time than all our other attempts. It reminded me of the times I've raided with randos and they just cheesed their way through the whole thing. Except in this case, I can't imagine getting through any other way.

All that being said, we were under leveled. I imagine running it as a team of 34s would require slightly less cheese :)

How could you hide?! You had to dismantle mines out in the open, simultaneously! Crota is a hundred times more camping intensive than that section was.
