Mercury is a crazy Destination (Destiny)

I like it!

The public event is like a mini-boss complete with its own geometry, which is cool. Unlocking heroic mode is super neat as well.

Other encounters I ran into yesterday in a couple of hours of tooling around:

- There's a mini-boss colossus who guards one of the zone chests. If you knock him off the map, he jumps back up, which surprised me the first time it happened.

- There's a chain of circular launchers that rings the area. If you go through one set, it spawns a chest-dropping guy at the end. There are three sets of launchers and you can do all three before they despawn for 3 chests!

- There's a huge, super buff hydra that appears and guards a locked chest from attacking Cabal. I've never killed the guy, but it's possible to do so much damage to the hydra that the chest unlocks and you can run in and loot it.

- There's a group of Cabal escorting a yellow bar Colossus from one side of the zone to another. Kill the yellow for a chest. I like this one because they actually move like a "protect the VIP" squad of guys.

I really hope that the other worlds are given these sorts of activities to make them feel more "alive"
