Its name is Atheon, Time's Conflux. The vex are known for their manipulation of time? It teleports you either the past or future. Where did people get Mars from when then raid takes place on Venus?
-
They just thought it looked like Mars.

There is mention of the Vex having control over space and time. You can't rule out the possibility of the left gate leading to Mars. Plus, it's easier to say "Mars" or "Venus" during the fight. You could be right though. The "Mars" gate could be Venus in the distant future, or it could just be an alternate timeline altogether. The lore is vague, and both opinions can be validated in one way or another.

Because aesthetics.
-
Because the art element. Tileset. And art details for each location are EXACTLY the same as Venus and mars...
-
2 AntwortenThe jungle one looks like Venus. The desert one looks like Mars. Was that so hard?
-
Because it's easier to say and remember over past and future, left and right, or front and back.

3 AntwortenAnybody here play baseball with your friends in a backyard? Tree is first, corner of the swing set is second, old tire is third and this patch of dirt is home. Call outs are call outs. No one cares what they really are as long as they work.
-
Or... or.... OR look at the damn rada and see what side they were teleported to instead of waiting for the call out

26 AntwortenBecause he sends you to Mars.

3 AntwortenBearbeitet von Hunter-Max99: 8/27/2016 11:36:39 PMBlablablablabla...old boring news. It's just a call out. It has the same result as left-right or past-future.
-
it's simply a callout, based on the visual design of the location. Most players that run VoG know that you never leave Venus, but Mars is the first word that comes to mind when you first enter that area.

1 Antworten....my group usually goes with Vietnam and Saudi Arabia. That work better?
-
7 AntwortenSIGH...I will explain it to you--because Mars and Left have the same number of letters.

Bearbeitet von RingersCheckmate: 8/27/2016 11:18:54 PMI can understand that because it's brown and dusty it reminds you of Mars. But a little dash of common sense and you can recognize you're in the same place in a different time. It's more memorable that makes on the fly Callouts easier and more recognizable when in a raid.
-
It simply looks like Mars. It's a good indicator as to what gate to open when the three people people get teleported. (Left/Mars - Right/Venus)
-
It looks like Mars. But really, anyone with a minimap can see they are just physically I'm a different location from within the raid.
-
24 AntwortenAnswer: Mars kill/patrol bounties get completed during that teleport. Soooo!
-
3 AntwortenNobody actually thinks that, it's just easier to say and remember
-
7 AntwortenIf you have the bounties for Mars and Venus reconnaissance, you well gain completion for the respective planet he sends you to. Same with ghosts that give you planetary materials on engram pickup. So yes. He does send you to Mars and Venus.
-
Because its red and easy to remember. I'm sure many raid teams appreciate your pedantry though ;)
-
3 AntwortenIt's a far better indicator. ~[i]TheGreatNike[/i]
-
Because the black garden is on Mars, I think that's why
-
Bearbeitet von Rags: 8/27/2016 10:44:59 PMDoes it really matter? Most people know that it isn't Mars but it looks like the landscape Of Mars and it's easier to just say that you're in Mars or Venus when he teleports you.
-
It isn't actually Mars. It's probably future Venus or something... It's just easier to call it Mars
-
6 AntwortenBecause as a filthy casual, I didn't read the grimore or pay attention to what people said, I shoot stuff. Big bad dude in the center that looks like vex? His name could be Jimmy and he still gonna get shot

Bearbeitet von Zayas: 8/27/2016 10:05:16 PMBecause it takes longer to explain to people why it isn't (and having to do so multiple times to different raid teams isn't fun) when we know that people in general are familiar with what Mars looks like instead. It simply makes callouts in VoG easier because you don't really have to think about it, it's either 'Venus' and 'Mars', or 'Left' and 'Right'.
