Prison of Elders Checkpoints

Bungie, Here I am with the Eight Edition to this request. My brother asks me to help out with the 34 on Sunday. I go to log in and get Caterpillar three times, then Disconnected from Xbox Live. I go to log on, get to my character, set destination for the Reef, punch it and get Caterpillar. I log on, do my thing and join up in the 34. I go to run out and get Caterpillar. I join back, get to round three (where I the reconnect screen and spawn in dead. We beat round three, go to the airlock where I get booted. Caterpillar. I go to log on and it happens two more times, then I get disconnected. I reconnect to Xbox Live, get back in to party and my brother, dejected at this point, says 'we don't have to do this.' To which I reply 'we got this.' I invite a friend, who joins me after I get two more Caterpillar codes. We land and beat the damn thing. This was on the 360. My friend that joined had to leave and my brother was fed up with the whole process, so he called it a night. I switched to the One, which I have Destiny for, and play without issue. Not a single error code. Being that one of our two-man team was about to quit and I was barely able to maintain connection, I feel this qualifies for another request for a checkpoint. Again, here is my recommendation: [b]make it so you get a checkpoint 'boon' at the beginning of each round. Character specific, not shareable with a fire-team. If everyone in the team has the check point, then everyone can participate (up to three players, obviously).[/b] Post statement: I hit the 10,000 character mark and my original post could not be 'truncated.' The original seven iterations can be found in the comment section or at this link: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/138813824/0/0/1

  • Hi, firstly just want to say I love the game and have spent a lot of time on it..... Probably more than my wife and kids would like hehe. Which is why the suggestion I have is very important to me and even a lot of the people I play with. The issue I have is mainly with the 35 and on some occasions the 34 Prison Of Elders (POE). Last night was the first time I got to finish a 35 and that was because my friends were just unable to stay in the game, after a good solid 5hrs Skolas was finally dead and the 3 people that finished it were not the same 3 that started it..... For those poor souls that's hours of their life they will never get back and received absolutly nothing in return. I struggle to understand why there is no checkpointing in this game mode. With most runs I see now through any of the raids on any difficulty not exceeding an hour (and that's being generous, the Crota run is super quick now and we treat it more like a strike) and yet we can checkpoint after every battle and we have a fire team of 6. I do understand that because the nature of the loot chests at the end of POE, if there was a checkpoint system the chests could be exploited but I'm sure with the great minds you have at Bungie you could find a work around. Maybe after getting the chest on a specific character you have to return to the first round to reset the chest. Anyway I hope this doesn't fall on deaf ears as I really enjoy the new game modes but REAL life outside of a video game should and will always take priority. And I don't think you should encourage anything different.
