I've seen a lot of posts here of successful Skolas victories last night, which is awesome.

I also ran it last night and got my second Elder Cipher. That feeling when you dismantle the last mine and everyone makes it back under the stairs--no, Skolas isn't dead yet, but at that point you have won. The rest of the battle is just a formality.

I just did the same thing last night. First time I've played Destiny in a month, and my two friends who still play were willing to go with me. I'm pleased to say that I held my own in the entire PoE and my sniping skills seem not to have suffered from the time off.

I also now fully agree with the opinion that there should be checkpoints in that event, at least before Skolas.

Also, my whole fireteam got elder ciphers, which is awesome. Design note: I was warned beforehand to have an empty bounty slot (two, actually, though I only needed one in the end). Are people with full bounty slots just screwed if the Elder Cipher would have otherwise dropped? Or does it show up in the mail?
