Had to admit baby Simon to AR Childrens Hospital :(

Hopefully we figure out a way to get him fattened up. I'll be home w/ my oldest tonight. Hopefully some of you are up for some raiding to help me chill out.
Sorry to hear that, LT. Hope everything goes well for you and yours.

Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.
Mhmmm Destinytracker says I haven't completed my weekly Raid yet - but I ran it yesterday on Hard Mode... does it only track normal mode completion? Or is the "weekly bonus" only for normal mode completions anyway? I'm confused.
 
Hi Luke Smith,

Thanks for being awesome!

Happy Thanksgiving,

PS: Any way I can get refer a friend for buying Vanilla 4 times total and TTK 3 times? :D

Thanks for the Oryx run, everyone. Sorry for fucking up those...several times. Being at the front right fucked me up for some reason. I just couldn't process what to do when I was there. Weird.

Anyways, another week without a harrowed helmet...

My helmet slot is the lowest across all three characters, the triple RNG at only one checkpoint to get one at the hardest HM encounter is stiff.

Enjoyed the run fellas. I lost count the # of times people ran to the same bomb lol

Should I infuse my 320 trials scout w/ hidden hand into something else? Was thinking about Red Death maybe?

Oh, I was also wondering

how come people basically REQUIRE ToM for the Raid, when NTTE has a very similar perk? I mean yes, NTTE is only precision shots, but the ogres' heads are pretty big. Wouldn't that be a reasonable alternative?

Red Death is getting knocked down soon, I can't tell if it'll be worthless after the nerf, but I'd wait. Save your 320 until you have other things you can use to stair step another gun you have to 320.

Double damage on the last bullet of ToM and it fires pretty quickly, it's much better for focused DPS than NTTE.

ToM is more for the sisters, no? Oryx you can use any weapon.
But ToM doubles your damage at fast fire rate when you are into the aura.

First PvP match (Zone Control) using my 27" monitor and I'M IN LOVE!!! So much easier than a 65" TV.

(i died an extra time because I spawned near A right when they capped A so instantly 2v1)

You will never go back to using a tv now

Monitors are soooo much better for gaming

People want ToM for Oryx stagger which doesn't have a critical spot. Of course it's totally unnecessary but people are silly and bad at raiding.
 
That was an interesting Oryx kill. My favorite part was the laggy beginning, like when all the blights disappeared for no reason. GG everyone.

You already have a 320 ToM? Otherwise I'd wait for December like Ghaz said.

Yep, happened to me. Started by just switching from the big screen to the monitor for Trials. Then I moved and never bothered hooking my ps4 up to the TV again. All monitor all day.

I probably will for Action/RPGs :D

Maybe?

Shooters, definitely monitors now. Just the very beginning of the round I fell in love.

Tbh probably not :p But yea it's possible depending on the game.

Fps youre in for the long haul tho.

What model monitor are you playing on? Just curious. I have my consoles hooked up to an Asus MX279H. Loooove it.

Yup. I don't bother going back to the tv anymore except for when it's family game time in Rock Band. Otherwise, it's not even worth it just to switch out the hdmi cord anymore.

After playing over 1000 hours of Destiny, I can't believe I'm only now trying this.
I can't even quantify how much better a monitor is! It's like light years better

Haha we have the same 27 inch, 9 series "279".

I have

2x ASUS VX279Q
1x ASUS PG279Q

and I'm currently using the PG279Q for it. Maybe the VX279Q would be fine. I'll try that one out after I get a good feel for this one. I really have no idea what the letters mean

Best part of having two monitors is I can hit a button on a switch to switch between 2 screens and ps4

what kind of switch is that?

I'm having that problem right now. I have a PC with multiple monitors, but when I switch 1 monitor to PS4, my PC does nothing about it haha.

Nothing fancy, just a HDMI switch which was dirt cheap on AliExpress. Its fiddly, and doesnt work when one gets turned off until I replug it in, but does the job

Malice is 316. Getting it to 320 seems like a waste since it already feels really powerful. I'm just going to hold onto it I guess. I don't have anything I WANT to give it to that result in the other weapon being 320. Could give it to my 318 firefly smite of merain but for 2 more light seems dumb.

Now I remember why all this platform talk was giving me major deja vu.

Have my Malice at 317 and feel happy with it there. You're right, it's not worth the 320 weapons as it stands now.

Fo sho'

Gotta be at the hospital at dawn, so instead of doing 3x Nightfalls I guess I should go to bed. Thanks again to everyone for the encouraging words.

Yeah but having a 320 primary will help your overall light level for HM Oryx which is the only thing where that light level matters now. Of course it's not necessary but honestly there's nothing else to do with it. Maybe challenge mode will make it more worthwhile.

Anyway, gnight LT and best of luck tomorrow! Keep us updated.

Nice. I've no idea what the letters mean either lol... Anyway Ideally you'd want to use whichever monitor has the lowest input lag but it's probably such a small difference in this case that I wouldn't worry about it.

But yea 24-27 inches is the best for gaming IMO. I prefer the slightly larger screen of 27' for my consoles since I'm leaned back a little more but for my PC I prefer a 24' since I'm closer to the screen and using a KB/M.

Yeah challenge mode could definitely throw a kink it it. Currently 314, 312, and 315 respectively on each guardian when fighting oryx. First two of those CAN be 315 and 313 when I equip the 320 weapon though.

For sure man. Thanks for helping out tonight. I always know I'm going to have a good time when you're there.
 
Probably wishful thinking, but does anybody have NM Oryx CP?

Edit: or do NM KF, if people are interested? Anybody welcome, newbie friendly, w/e.
