Chests that appear on the planets are currently underutilised by the community and have little reward?! There was a time we would farm them for materials but since Vanguard marks can be traded this for me and my mates has substantially subsided and altogether stopped in most cases.
I suggest we look at the rewards they contain and make a suggestion to how they could once again become relevant.
I've only ever got epic shards once from all of my chest farming at release, so the actual rewards are extremely tight as I did hundreds of chest runs.
Bigger glimmer rewards and a minium of 5 materials per chest with an increased chance of shards and a slight chance at legendary weapons and a miniscule chance at an exotic weapon are my suggestions.
Oh and perhaps less chests spawn but are more rewarding?!

I only ever open chests now if I'm in a strike and it's there or if I'm trying to find that recalcitrant super good advice gun. (For the free shard)
-
You could get anything from those chest but exotics

[quote] I've only ever got epic shards once from all of my chest farming at release[/quote] All your editing and you still can't fix your typo? Perhaps spend a little more time communicating your point clearly and less time name calling. Just a suggestion.

Hell yeah!

Stopped reading when I saw "epic shards."
-
I've gotten a legendary engram from one before.
-
Two things. 1. Whats a legendary shard? 2. Having them give out asendent material is pointless for lots of players as I know most people I play with have over 1500 asendent materials. It would be better if it gave out raidant materials as Croend is the only place to get those.

You're missing out then; (that is if you like finding ships) Ive been finding a lot of ships from those chests; especially in Venus found lots of ship blueprints there; yeah they're useless; but people collect guns/armors I collect ships lol
-
Chest are fine how they are in my opinion. Though I am still trying to beat my old chest record: 1 legendary enagram, 3 blues, 1 asendent, 1 mote, 2 special ammo syns and 15 iron.

Edited by HUSH184: 4/26/2015 9:02:28 PMThe one thing I appreciate the most in adventuring is easter eggs. The best example of any game is Rift with the cairns, cliff diving, etc. So something like hiding the chests in difficult to reach areas and then rewarding players collecting a set of chests by netting valuable materials would go a long way.

Edited by Moose (Retired): 4/26/2015 8:27:44 PMI run around going in and out of caves, buildings, etc. looking for chests while on patrol. Mostly its 35-45 glimmer and 1-2 materials. But, from my experience, the more you open your character gets closer and closer to a reward chest. Maybe every 100 or so I get a chest with about 250 glimmer and 2-3 engrams (several have been legendary). It seems to be an easy way to get glimmer and a few engrams.

I stopped playing a while ago but the HoW will bring me back. Chest back in the day were useful. You needed the materials to upgrade items, now you just trade away your marks for what you need. The ability to trade one material for another or even for glimmer would make doing chest runs worthwhile again. There was nothing wrong with the drop rates in chests. It was about as fruitful as killing mobs. Nothing like the old loot cave, but the chances were definitely there. Personally, I didn't want to waste my marks on materials. I'd just buy a gun, scrap it, and use those energies to upgrade better weapons.

I've gotten like 3 chests having legendary engrams and 9-11 materials, coins and ascendant material in 1 day. Within mins of each other. But I like this idea
-
I have gotten a few chests with legendary engrams and 10-15 materials in one but it's really rare.
-
Well i used to get strange coins a lot.
-
I miss the Time where you had to Grind Hour After Hour to get Materials. Chest Runs... Good old times
-
/bump
-
Yes this would add back a reason to explore, just not sure how they can do that and not have level 7 characters getting purple engrams.
-
No exotics. The rest definitely
-
I agree with the changes but a small chance for exotics is a big no! Too easy for people to farm chest spots and possibly get a exotic! Maybe a legendary engram at best but not a exotic
-
Bump... Most defiantly yes to this.
-
Awesome idea
-
Honestly just about all my rare ship blueprints have come from chests. That being said the fact that most just hold glimmer and materials is a little disappointing. At least through some loot more often.

I think the spawn frequency is fine as it is but the rewards given should be altered. There's so many things in patrol that need expanded on!
