Destiny is, traditionally, a game where you 'participate to accumulate': as long as you take part you'll eventually get all of the items you need. Rewards are also distributed according to skill in a way that is quite unlike the rest of the game. You need to arrange your own team, for one thing - matchmaking is disabled. The flipside to this is that Trials of Osiris simply isn't going to appeal to a lot of people. Racking up nine wins on a single ticket was one of the most exciting things I've ever done in a competitive game, let alone in Destiny. Familiar concepts like Supers, heavy ammo and weapon choice take on vastly more significance here where the stakes are so high, and you've never felt more grateful to a co-op buddy then when one of your teammates turns around an impossible three-on-one fight to take the game. It is punishingly hard and proof that Destiny has a future as a competitive game. It's bad news for committed six-person teams, but a positive progression for the game as a whole. Even at its hardest, however, Prison of Elders doesn't feel as punishing or arbitrary as Crota's End. These do require you to find a group, but present such a steep challenge that you'll be glad you brought people you know. Beyond that, each week will bring a different level 32, 34 and 35 variant on the Prison with scaling rewards. The basic version of the Prison of Elders is a level 28 matchmade activity, meaning that you don't need to find a group to jump in and play.
There's far less capacity to cheat, and the need to rush about to disarm mines or take down high-value targets makes hiding far less appealing. Destiny's basic gunplay systems are strong enough that it doesn't need to be any more than this: in doubling-down on raw combat and reducing the fireteam size, Bungie have actually opened up the potential for creative or heroic play. It's a three-person arena mode with randomised modifiers - each cell from the Prison of Elders contains a different enemy type and a different set of objectives, and beating five of them grants you access to a coveted treasure room. The former is a measured response to the ambitious but flawed six-man raid system. Read it to uncover the truth behind the liberation of the House of Wolves. Jump up there and move along to find a dead Ghost that unlocks a hidden Grimoire card. Up and to the right is a gantry next to some broken windows. Once you're outside, look back at the wall behind you. Next time you're in the Cosmodrome, revisit the area you spawned in when you created your character - it's accessible via a tunnel from the Divide, newly-opened and occupied by Wolves.
