I wouldn't normally recommend GameStop but they have a sale on on some headsets at the minute.

Just check the prices online to make sure your not been ripped off.

I'm pretty sure that the warpriest and Golgoroth would have went down on the first run if my party app wasn't crashing.

I should be on from 10 hopefully.

I still gotta finish HM from golgorath on too... Your services or the services of anyone up for the challenge are required.

I've been shopping around for a new headset and have 2 major problems
1) Turtle Beach create that annoying buzzing sound - I always wondered what this was when people in my party use them
2) Anything that is decent and not Turtle Beach is like €250+

So, I can only really recommend The blow (In black if possible)
https://www.gamestop.ie/PlayStation%204/Games/53357/sony-wireless-stereo-headset-2-0-white-edition

Why the above?
Excellent sound quality
Cool looking and comfortable
Why Black? Cause the white can get stained yellow if you're a smoker
The are reasonably priced.
Seriously the sound quality is top notch, about 70% of the PS4 players use them.
Truly wirelesss, does not need to be connected to the PS4 pad etc

Cons....
The hinges and the plastic around them are bad and the should feel bad.
Mine have masking tape holding them together ffs.
The plastic that prevents the hinges from opening too far outwardly is cheap and weak so you need to be super careful when putting them on and off.
You cannot bend them beyond the designed curve at all or you're gonna have trouble.
I can show you what i mean on the ole twitch stream on Friday on camaera

So I will continue to use my yellow stained, masking tape verso of the above.... cause they actually are really good.

Have done hard on all 3 characters this week but if ye have any trouble getting 6 together give me a shout, don't mind helping but don't want to take up space if there's anyone who hasn't done it wanting in.

I see that the daily is the Paradox mission where you can collect the three ghosts and return them to FWC.
I swapped over from FWC to Dead Orbit yesterday. Does anyone know if I collect the ghosts today and swap back to FWC next week will the resulting quest kick off then for me then?

Cheers

Dead link, I couldn't find them that cheap on Argos, only €154

Just burn a few motes I'd say

Is that 1000 rep from the point of changing over? I'm guessing what I have amassed with them prior to changing to Dead Orbit doesn't count?

Fresh rep, just use some motes or something, only takes like 12 of em

We finished HM Golgoroth last night before I had to log off after getting by the piston wall. As I was the lowest light level I held the gaze. First time I've done the whole encounter as the only gaze holder and it went smooth enough. We only had 1 wipe (and it was not my fault!!), so I was happy enough. Got a fancy Harrowed LMG and boots, and they boosted up my light level quite a bit.

The missus is being very generous this week, so I'll be on again this evening to finish it off or start a fresh run if anyone is about. :pac:

Not looking at anyone in particular Ken aka 'what do you mean I'm a bomb'

I'll help out again.

Might give out the Exotic Chest checkpoint for 10/15 mins before for anyone low light that could do with a boost seen as they might get a decent weapon.

Pfffft, like anyone will get an Exotic in that time.... only seen/heard about 3 exotics ever coming from that chest out of 100 openings

I'm afraid emmet, It'll take more than my usual quick wit and easy charm to get by her at the moment.

a few late nights one after the other have left her akin to the final round of golgoroth - close to enrage.

Wow, that's more than I've even heard about on the PS4 overall :pac:

Seems like about 1/2 or 1/3 the chance of the old VoG chest

In the last 5 times I've opened it I've gotten a 310 Hawkmoon and 310 Thunderlord. Need to get it once more this week.

re: headset. Check out the Corsair H1500s. Very good quality headset at an affordable price. I have them myself and use them on PC. Comfortable to wear, mic is good quality. Says they work on ps4 as well, but I've never tried it. Also not sure if the 7.1 surround works on ps4.

Anyone need to do a fresh run at HM oryx tonight? I haven't been on since reset this week and tonight looks like the only free night I'll have before Tuesday
