I knew what the event would entail for a while now, so i wasn't surprised it was just bounties. Reef new story + cutscenes won't be arriving until the House of Wolves expansion.

Her emissary to be holed up somewhere, like Xur, like tower north or something. Give you your bounties, you buy shit. That's about it.

[/u]The Iron Banner door is open..k, no big deal... HOLY -blam!- what's that?! I love how they set her up with the gorgeous ship behind her, with the tassels and all, the big table with burning incense at both ends. It genuinely looked like a royal event, like a big deal , you know.
Did my bounties, got the kill orders which i had no idea about until yesterday and lo, an easy enough mission that rewarded me with a LEGENDARY headpiece and chest? The two armour pieces I needed? FOR FREE? Getting extra I can dismantle for the ultra rare as -blam!- Ascendant Shards?
C'mon that's a steal right there.
So props to you Bungie, I love the aesthetic of top tower. I love free guaranteed legendary gear. I love lamp.

I'd hoped for a new strike, but after realizing that was a pretty high expectation, I thought it would just be a few new bounties and a class item that wasn't that special. I was also pleasantly surprised with the result. Glad to see some more optimism!

The Queen's ship was indeed quite breathtaking the first time I saw it!

I so like the aesthetics.
