Also, regarding that framerate . . . I get worse drops than that during that event sometimes on my PS4 Pro. Usually happens when everyone is defending the glimmer at the final stage if everyone pops their super at the same time. Granted, it wouldn't have happened at all in the situation you were in that video. Witches Ritual on Titan still tanks my framerate pretty often on my Pro, too, when the big guy for the Heroic comes in and everyone lays into him. I haven't noticed it on the One X, but I haven't played nearly as much there, so I don't know if it's just not an issue or if I just haven't noticed it.

Oh hell yeah, public events(especially the crowded Heroic ones) are insane. The chaos is absolutely incredible, so in-your-face. I forgot what Bungie's reasoning was for locking it at 30 frames for consoles, but I gathered a small collection of videos where I was just laughing myself to tears during the madness. They're perfect examples of why the framerates were designed low! The REAL reason Bungie didn't uncap that stuff for the consoles, was because of all the lawsuits they'd have to answer for when everyone's Xboxes and Playstations would blow up their entire house trying to process all that stuff.

Ok, I'm exaggerating a little--houses wouldn't be exploding--but consoles sure would. XD

Glossing over how those videos are practically blinding in 1080p, I can't even imagine a system, console or computer, that can handle THAT type of graphical stress!
