Watch from her POV or mine, hopefully we can stop arguing long enough to secure a couple of victories!
Brace for nothing but Spongebob quotes and indecipherable inside jokes... And screaming. Lots of screaming...
That was fun, but...

A bit underwhelmed that Crimson Days is little more than a single playlist and a handful of bounties. Thought it would be similar to Festivus of the Lost, but once we knocked out all of the bounties, that was pretty much it (got our 2015 emotes, though).
I managed to snag both shaders and the Crimson Ghost, as well as a fantastic Red Spectre (Persistence, Hand Loaded, Eye of the Storm)... But Sammy didn't get anything...
Hopefully there's more bounties tomorrow, but the patch notes show just the current six bounties as being new...

Still satisfied with all these wonderful events made possible by the microtransactions? You sure seemed enthusiastic before! :-p

Indeed, Sammy got a dance that she loved, and I decided to buy $5 worth of silver yesterday because I'm happy with what's there. This is clearly one of Bungie's promised "smaller events", with SRL being one of the "mid-sized events".
My disappointment has little to do with what this event brings to the table in the wake of microtransaction-funded content, and more to do with the fact that it is actually just a playlist and small set of bounties that Bungie hyped up. I had the same disappointment with Inferno gametypes back in the days of paid DLC.
That said, Sammy and I had a lot of fun, and I love the Doubles elimination gametype (we're going to do more of it this evening, and throughout the week). As far as this event goes, I hope Crimson Doubles makes a return as a weekend playlist, but I am bummed that my expectation was that it would be an event similar to Festival of the Lost. That's entirely on me, though.

No, it's not on you. Bungie explicitly said that this event would be on the scale of festival of the lost. They said that verbatim.

They said it would be on a scale close to Festival of the Lost (always remember to cite your sources, rather than just running your mouth, Cody). And in terms of what you can get from it (emotes, shaders, Ghosts, Bounties, and a new playlist), it is indeed similar. There are no quests, though, and your rewards are drops rather than rolls on bags of candy (though the drops are useful, rather than cosmetic), but Bungie clarified their initially vague claim with specifics on what the event would entail, and the event's page lists exactly what the event is, and what new stuff it brings.
Bungie told us exactly what the event is well before it dropped, so yes, that I expected more is entirely on me.
