I'm fine with weekly lockouts but; I would love if all of these events gave a couple engrams and even just a little bit of rep/experience. That would make it actually worth your while when you help someone. Take VOG for example. At every reward checkpoint you get one blue engram. And at Atheon you get an engram and some rep for your faction. Also those engrams could have a chance to be legendary just like in Roc Strikes. Yes I realize people would just farm the abyss for blue engrams but I would say the strike playlists would still give you more per hour.

  • Abyss would be faster to get done but, only 1 engram per run and no rep so yeah that could work. :P

  • Not really, as even one engram per run would net you like 8+ an hour if you take your time. Cheesing you'd get 10+ most likely.

  • Ya but strikes usually give you 2. Either 2 in rewards or 1 from mobs and 1 from the strike. Plus the abyss wouldn't give you rep. Only crota would

  • True, but remember, it's not just how many, but the effort required as well. If I could get a guaranteed engram every time I did the abyss, I'd farm the living hell out of it. Just grab a titan with icebreaker and do the ledge jump, kill the ogre, boom, engram. Versus run strike over and over and over.... It takes me like 2 minutes to get to the ogre, and another 30 seconds to 1 minute for the bridge (Idk how long it takes to build) so that's a guaranteed engram every 3 or so minutes if you bust your hump. So I was wrong, let's say takes me exactly 3 minutes to complete (stretching a bit I know), that would be 10 engrams per half hour, or 20 per hour. Even if it took 5 minutes, that 12 an hour.

  • Maybe but they could adjust that so only the bridge gives an engram. Therefore to farm it you'd have to restart from the abyss every time.

  • True, or have a friend pop in and take the cp and swap back and forth non-stop as you beat it. Would take longer, but I know people would do it. I probably wouldn't at that point though, too much work.
