I just wish there was more story to these events insted of, gather the mats and turn in a box. Go kill each other and then go do strikes. Just seemed lazy when you look at it, and also the ammount of bright dust needed for all 3 sets of armor is crazy. Insted of putting the armor behind a paywall try doing what some other games do for holiday events and put them behind quests.
You don't need to forge them or anything but something like going to each planet and look for a guardian that fell in battle when the Red Legion came and blocked the light from the guardians and return with theyre ghost so they will be remembered in the city and not forgotten.
The ghosts and ships could have been dropped in strikes, raids, crucible, ect. Heck they could have been specific drops from each planets Public Events. Just a low chance to drop, people would have grinded that out like crazy.
Putting these behind the Eververse is silly and not needed shaders and emotes I can understand but the armor, ghosts, sparrows, and ships were a missed opportunity to please your fans who love this game.
I really hope to see more story and quests in the future with these events, festival of the lost would be amazing if they added in lore and questing to it and not just wear masks in pvp. I can't wait to see what happens in the future.
Thanks
