Not really. It takes about the same amount of time to get to Skywatch from the Old Russia spawn point as it does Crota from the Moon spawn point. The difference is that you only have to travel to Crota once. Then every single time after that you spawn right in front of the door.

I've played probably 100 games of crucible and have never gotten the mercury map. Anyone know if I'm playing the wrong gametype to get it in rotation or something?

Finally. The moon strike for this was 1000x harder than the weekly, and totally ridiculous. You NEED solar and arc damage to even stand an iota of a chance.
hold my dick, PvE
My friend has one of these. I guess one of the upgrades is a small DoT that actually works in PvP. He's received so many kills from people that try to sneak away and fall over dead from it.

I just laugh at this point. Congrats to the level 17.

No matchmaking. But so far I, as a level 25, didn't have problems completing them solo and I've been doing them on a higher difficulty for the guaranteed upgrade materials, dying once at most per mission. They're actually the first thing I do after logging into the game because they're challenging enough to force me to play a bit more defensively and to quickly get back into the game and its mechanics while not once frustrating me.

I'm pretty sure Mercury is for 3v3 game types.

Wow. That's nuts. No I'd actually say that's bullshit. How can you have this raid and not have anything worth a shit actually drop when completing it? If this is true then this is a prime example of how screwed up Bungie's loot system is.

Thanks, I've played a few skirmish but that would make sense.
Furthermore, yes, Bastion is the worst map.

Pretty much the only issue I have with this game (all other issues that plague this game I'm fine with because it's addictive and I'm having loads of fun) but.. this..
That shit should be in the game for my viewing pleasure. I really don't understand why do I have to get out of my way to log in to a website or use an app to view these cards. Especially since it has progress information on some of these cards.
Also question in regards, sorta, to these cards.. Actually it's about dead ghost. There is no specific map, they're like chests, right? Spawning wherever they feel like in a specific spawn area?
Holy shit, that's just crazy.

That one is easy, when you two get to the strike, add me I can be the third PSN same as here. Unless you're on Xbox of course.

I think there should be some kind of indicator that someone has a super ready for use. That would make the game more tactical. If you have a super, people may stay away from you, but that will make it easier to cap zones for example, if no one wants to be the first to die in order to stop you.

Well the sunsinger is probably the 1 super that isn't much of an issue. All the others are pretty much just free kill out a nowhere.

Look at the color of the shields an enemy has, if any. Using the appropriate element will deal bonus damage and take down the shields faster.
Red- Solar
Blue-Arc
Purple-Void

If you're talking about the end of game reward, then no, it was random. If you're referring to leveling up your Crucible rep to 3, then I suppose so.
you know, I had a really off night last night with pvp, couldn't hit shit and was focusing too much on bounties so I came in last maybe 4 times. Didn't want last place in the slightest, i just can't tank matches... but it figures that I didn't get jack shit. is there are shrine for the RNGoddess that i've missed? I'm clearly not praying enough.
Do they not add weight to the likelihood of better drops ever? Like, you SERIOUSLY have the same chance to beat the raid and get an Exotic as the guy who comes in last in Rumble?

It goes higher. You just have to keep upgrading.
Yeah, I learned this last night, lol.

Destiny: Im sure theyre going to fix that.
It's pretty much just color coded based on the shields. Solar is red, arc is blue, void is purple, but it only matters for the shields.
So if you just try to use a normal gun against a high level wizard where the shields are boosted, you will not only take forever to even get through it, but if they get away and recharge the shields it hurts. But taking out a fusion rifle with solar will wipe it in basically one hit.
This is embarrassing. What the hell is the point of raiding if you don't get at least some guaranteed loot? It doesn't have to be exotics but a few legendaries with a chance of something special? I mean come the fuck on.
Had them all last night

That's terrible. I've had connection issues at times when part of a fireteam but nothing endemic. This should really be their number one priority. Pretty inexcusable of them to not have proper customer support for this.

Ok so last night me and a mate were playing PVP.
We both stopped at the same time and went to sleep. When we woke up the next day his crucible marks had reset to zero for the week, yet mine hadnt. My vanguard marks have reset to zero though so, i dunno what's happening.

I feel like people hate Bastion just because it has a lot of open space on the fringe that people, for some reason, insist on wandering out in. I usually guard C and B, most often hunkering down at B or on the opposite ledge on the way to C. You can snipe from that ledge towards B, and still quickly defend C if you need to. The enemy team can keep A for all I care, lol.
Nice. But is arc and void the same color?
Twilight gap is like a love/hate relationship.
I play Control almost exclusively, so it's not an issue. Yeah, that and Bastion would be horrible for Clash or Skirmish I imagine.
I am so tempted to take a pic of me getting good loots and being top 3 and posting it ad nauseum.

Lol, I'm running around Skywatch doing missions while some guys are farming, and on a whim I decide to hop into the cave as well. Fucking Legendary Engram was waiting for me, baby.

at the point you have to do the raid you should already be decked out in largely legendary though, so I fail to see the point unless they have some armor/gear you can ONLY get from the raid that is better than anything that can drop/be bought.
At this point I'm only playing it for the clan achievement and to have fun with friends.
Arc is blue and void is purple, but tbh the shields can be hard to tell apart. Void is the swirly icon and arc almost looks like a sawblade.

What's the best way to gain strange coins? I am playing Destiny with some irregularity so I can't always gather a firesquad. Is there a way to do strikes that drop strange coins that will match me with other players?
I'm hoping Xur has Hard Light this week (I need 20 more strange coins), I want Mask of the Third Man but I guess he won't have the same items week after week.

Ohhhh. Now I get why people might complain about those maps being too big. I hate Clash and never play it. Neither of them show up in the Skirmish list.
Hahaha....so one could say, "If you played DmC, it's like that. Match colors."
