Prison of Elders 2.0 (Destiny)

Now my only concern (not complaint) is that you would need a diagram and explanation that you just gave to understand PoE 2.0

Which for some of us is fine. But for "normal" people, there would have to be some in-game help of some sort. The current PoE is complex, but its only complexity and effects from the complexity only affects the current round. And it could cause some grievances when people realize that it was required to do so and so before they had gotten to where they are at.

That's a totally valid concern, and you might be completely right. But on the flip side, Star Fox 64 did this exact thing long before internet guides were commonly available, and it worked great. Star fox showed you and actually star map with the different missions, and charted your progress as you went through. So it was apparent right from the start that there were other levels you could somehow reach. Figuring out how to find those branching paths became part of the replay value. Some clues were given along the way as well, through dialog and chatter from the other pilots in your squad. Destiny could do the same thing through dialogue from your ghost or other NPCs.
