Oh my god. The only thing worth buying the first extension is not present in the second ? Yeah, I said it multiples times, it would take a mircale for me to go back. Good job making me right bungie

wait, so you say that The Dark Below Elinated fans already, and it had a raid. But yet you have an issue with this expansion which chose to offer a new structure instead of a raid for purchase.

Uhhhh, what? Why? This will create a shitstorm.
Ridiculous.

Seriously, another mode/map to grind ad infinitum. Kinda feel bad for people who picked up the season pass, most I saw did it for the raids specifically.
If it's what we assume you will have to pay again. Probably the same price too.

Activision says $$$
Here's hoping it is free, but we all know it most likely won't be
Pay again. Expansion pass only covered the first two.

fuck me, I'm pissed and glad I stopped playing literally right before the dark below came out. I also had a great time playing this game for the first, I don't know 60+ hours. All I wanted were new planets. Of course, new raids, new weapons, new armor and more story! most importantly new planets!!

Personally glad to see the horde mode doesn't require 6 players but it would have been nice if they could have made 3 and 6 player versions or at least allowed 4 players like a normal coop game. Destiny really needs to give players more options.

Will Prison of Elders have matchmaking?
Because I hope not just so we cant continue this stupid train that is Destiny.
Sounds like a survival / horde mode.

Probably horde type mode.
Its amazing.Personally i find raids the best part of the game, VoG especially. Even after all this time, it's still fun to group up with clanmates and go through the Vault and beat Atheon. Crota isn't as good but still a good amount of fun. My clan was looking forward to a good new raid to sink our teeth into and have some fun with. To find out that there's no raid is a real letdown considering that it's the main thing to do after completing the game.
Who says it's pvp?

Oh wow..
Bungie's post launch strategy for this game has been terrible.

That is bizarre as hell.
So did they yank The Reef raid and are slapping it into a different piece of DLC (e.g. the 'Comet' DLC) that those of us that purchased the Expansion Pass won't get access to?
To take one of the biggest marks against this game-- the lack of content-- and answer that critique by offering less content than you have previously (and the most lauded component of your game bar none) seems crazy even when compared to the other decisions Bungie has made in regards to Destiny.
I also hope this news hit early enough so that I can hear Jeff (rightfully) rant about this on tomorrow's Bombcast.

The arena mode (prison of elders) is PvE.
The DLC and post launch content for Destiny has been what really soured me on the game. I figured that Bungie would listen to fans and really turn the game around with feedback, patches, and expansions but NOPE. Expansions just fuck over all your previous gear and add more of the same.

Not enough money to develop a Raid and a new game mode.

I like how they flat out admit they cut the raid to hold it for later this year. Since its Bungie, there is no way its free and is instead being held back to bolster the Comet DLC this September. Perfectly sums up the content approach to Destiny: cut stuff, get the barebones out, charge to add that stuff back in.
What's the over under that this Arena is going to have matchmaking? I am assuming Bungie is still keeping their heads firmly planted up their ass when it comes to matchmaking.

They became businessmen.
From what I've heard, the Dark Below wasn't anywhere near as well-received as Vault of Glass. Maybe it's better they spend longer on the raids (they do say there's another coming, assumably in Comet) to keep the quality up?
I also kind of get the impression that they see the raids being played a lot less than everything else given the rigmarole to get six players together (I've been playing the game regularly since launch and only managed it last weekend) - the fact the replacement is for the much more common fireteam of three would suggest so at least. Seems they might be retooling things a bit.

That's a shock. But I'm sure it will have something to fill the void. Solar perhaps?

I'd probably bust a gut laughing if it turned out to be a boss gauntlet.
A firefight mode might actually possibly maybe get me to want to jump back in, but the price would still keep me away, and if its an endless mode I wouldn't expect much in terms of in-game rewards as it'd be too easy to farm.
this sounds like it should have been a free patch.
Bungie: "sorry guys, we should of had this from the start"
Destiny fans: "thanks, I guess"

No raid, instead we get a destiny MOBA?
If the arena mode doesn't have matchmaking like the raids that'll be the coup de grâce.
