I like where you're going with this. I vote for keep it simple...
Patrol has chests that spawn after an event and cost 75 Legendary Marks to open and rewards a legendary weapon from the entire loot pool, except for IB and Raid items.
The code is already there too, since House of Wolves.

How about we go with OP's idea and throw the 75 legendary marks bullshit out the window?
-
First off, they should get rid of the Legendary Marks cap. 200 is too small.
-
I don't mind the cap. Right now, I only buy planet materials anyway. The issue is there is not enough reason to spend the LMs. Using the OP's idea, I was thinking this would be a good way to spend the LMs and at a fair price.

I'm digging this but maybe a little cheaper? Say 50 legendary marks and you can only hit one Chest on one planet per day? That way it's not too easy to get God roll weapons. And give each planet a specific archetype of weapon. Say earth drops auto rifles and side arms. And the moon drops hand cannons and fusions. Something along those lines. Just kinda rambling at this point

Good idea

Edited by Solhawk: 7/29/2016 7:07:23 PMThanks! That was actually the reason I set the cost at 75 LMs. Basically 2x/week unless you dismantle a bunch of legendaries. You can certainly get more LMs by playing more, but for the more casual players, they should be able to go at least 1x/week. Plus, keep it simple ;)

Sounds like a good idea. Maybe a bit expensive though.

Pretty good idea, and I agree that it needs to be simple. For me though, when it comes to spending legendary marks, I'm stingy. ;) My thoughts on this would be: When opening a chest, you have a random chance to collecting a light shard. After collecting say 20 shards or so, you turn them in to the Speaker, where he will give you something similar to faction rank packages. Imo the Speaker needs to be more relevant in the end game. Let us rank up with him or something.

Thanks! I understand that, but are you stingy because the offerings are weak or stingy because you're just frugal. I stopped buying stuff from the Crytarchs because the offering are weak and now I'm just hording planet materials. I'm sure I'll need them with every new expansion. At 75 LMs, I feel the price is worth risk/reward. At 200 LMs, I can try twice and still buy planet materials if I need them too.
