Prison of Elders twitch stream has been entertaining. They've wiped three times in a half hour, haven't made it past the second round yet. LMAO

PoE looks like a lot of fun along with being challenging.

The stream was hilarious, although Deej was sucking and the guest was annoying as hell. I didn't expect to see them wiping over and over.

Haven't seen the stream yet but from what I am reading on it, it sounds like it will just make the grinding even worse. You only get drops for completing the entire activity and no check points if you don't have time to finish it. At least with a raid, if you struggle to finish, you still have the check point to go back in and finish it off the next day. On this, you better have the time to finish or you just wasted your time. Don't like that at all.

I dont see how they make grinding any less. The game is pretty ****ign barebones. They need to do something to keep folks playing i guess.

Not sure how far I will go with it. Once I get to 34 I don't see what will be left to do until comet releases in the fall.

I would say that they're taking away a lot of grinding and focusing on actual activities.

Trials of Osiris during the weekend
4 levels of PoE
Nightfall and Weekly will now be different strikes
If you're in my clan we'll still be occasionally running VoG and CE.
And the occasional Iron Banner.

So instead of grinding away in one activity week after week you'll have multiple activities and gear paths to get to max level.

The first three weeks will be interesting as the armor vendor for gear will only sell one piece of armor each week. You can't get the Etheric Light until you can run Prison at level 34 or you have to hope for a random drop in Nightfall. There is also a rumor that nightfall is moving to level 34. If thats the case it will be a couple weeks before level 32s can even play it.

I have a feeling that etheric light will be harder to come by than we think.

I have soloed most of the nightfalls on characters 2 levels below, I'm sure they'll be doable at 34 as level 32s. It just takes time.

I'm not seeing a lot of places to take cover for very long. heh

It appears you have to be a run and gunner for this mode.

FYP

Thunderlord is finally mine!!!!!

Nice. Will be mine soon as well.

I think of this as Xur dishing out karmic justice for the fact that when I ran the nightfall with my Titan this week my reward was one legendary engram (special) which Ra-Hool quickly turned into a mote of light.

One mote of light as a nightfall reward nearly tilted me. Thunderlord will align my chakras.
