I don't really have much to say, I just think the event is cool. I see tons of folks on reddit bitching about the grind (because they've not fully Masterworked their sets after a mere 24 hours into a month long event, undoubtedly). I'm usually in that camp, honestly, but I have a hard time seeing it this time. If you do the milestones every week, it seems like you'll basically be done, or at least pretty close to it. Mayhem next week makes the Crucible ones trivial.

The gear is all neat, the Triumphs are cool. I always like playing Destiny, and I've moved beyond chasing stuff for the most part, but it is neat to feel like I'm working towards something again. The missions are fun to run with a Fireteam. Honestly wish they still triggered the cutscenes, though--I'd like to see them with the armor set!

I think Bungie really hit a cool balance for this--the reward is nice looking armor that will be a useless trophy in five weeks. It's neat to have, but no one is getting left out from some crazy exclusive stuff if they don't participate. This is the sort of stuff I really enjoy seeing--it's like a "best of" tour of the stuff you can do in Destiny, and it's been a hot minute since I've seen so many folks online and playing Destiny, which is always cool.
