Void melee vs shotgun, shotgun wins. At this point, most people are using a shotgun. Void bomb is like a lobbed version of a rocket launcher, it'll get kills, and it's not too hard to use, but like the titan smash it has very little utility outside of Control/salvage.
PVP-playing Warlocks got screwed with the Sunsinger. It's 100% support. Bungie better make up with the Arc class.

Why would you post this?
The mission design in this game is so piss poor. I can't believe Bungie's idea of a replayable loot title was going away from everything they did well in favor of incredibly repeatitive waved based encounters and sponge bosses.
I know right? Shit is underwhelming when I think about Bungie and next gen, I expect so much more. That's not even the best part of The Ark LOL as it gets way better when you move on with the level with the fantastic score hitting at the right times.
Not true at all a properly speced sunsinger is arguably one of the most op classes
I wouldn't say they screwed up the sunsinger. It can give them an overshield, infinite grenades and higher damage on everything. It's pretty damn useful.

I keep having errors at the Black Garden
Yeah you can get more like I said tho its a rare drop so don't be surprised if you don't always get em, but good news is on reddit someone found a public event farming route on earth
Eh, in PVE maybe. I ammended my post to say I was talking about PVP.
I don't see anything that gives me higher damage with everything. Just teh ability to lob one grenade relatively quickly after another. I'll get killed real quick doing that in PVP. Nova bomb is a more useful super for the crucible.
Day 2, done. Played for 5 - 6 hours and got to level 20. Finished the story as well and here is my reaction to it.
The marathon trilogy makes more sense than Destiny.Unless you get your ass to the internet and read notes about everything in the world, BOOOO!
Aside from that, gameplay, OST, atmosphere and especially the scenery are all top notch. I just wish we had more exploration and more meaning to everything that is available around us. In Halo, the scenery were a service to the ongoing pace of the epic story but here since the story is almost non existent, everything just feels empty/dull with no drive but not to mention we are playing a game where we find good shit to make our character better and there aren't any hidden cool chests in the world to find as they respawn randomly. When I mean cool, I mean they actually give you epic shit. It also boggles my mind why they are no vehicles(ground or air) only a sparrow and a pike when Bungie clearly made alot of them with the Halo series.
I don't know what went wrong but something did. It's a fun game especially with friends, no doubt but it could have been so much more. Come MCC and people will echo the statements of how Destiny could have been so much more because Bungie did better. I tried out crucible after getting to level 20 and it's definitely much more fun to play. Don't know if my stronger weapons or armor make things better but it certainly felt I had a fighting chance in a match. I'll be spending more time there now + vanguard playlist I'm guessing. I will also farm but I'm thinking i'll do that much later, don't want to be burnt out by the game.
Overall, It's a fun but disappointing game. My order of worlds from favorite to worst are Venus > Moon > Earth > Mars(Except for the final level on mars). Mars reminds me of one of my favorite levels in Halo 3, The Ark.I keep finding myself thinking about Halo the more I play Destiny. Can't wait to play the MCC, going to be fanfuckingtastic.
Edit: My post is at the bottom of the page, shit.
5-6 hours in total? How the Heck did you do that?
That Legendary RPG will go great with my Exotic MG. Getting closer to Raid time, baby!

My brother who was a level 20 helped me go through all the levels in the game + strike on hard so I leveled up pretty quick. In two days, I managed to reach level 20 lol.
Edit: Bounties also helped alot.
Huh. Have a friend that uses sunsinger that said it gave him more damage with everything, but I believe you. Guess he had it wrong on that point. If it's just the overshield that's a bit shitty considering the defender can get an overshield with faster reload speed without even using a super.
Xur sells his wares for Strange Coins for the named exotics and Motes of Light for an exotic engram.

I just looked a bit more into that reddit post. There is apparently some kind of cap on ascendant materials. The post says the cap happens after the first 90 minutes, I am assuming that is 90 minutes after u obtain the first one
Ah yes was reading a comment on another forum and got them mixed up.
Exotic armor - 13 strange coins
Exotic weapon - 23 strange coins
Exotic engram - 23 Motes of Light och 1 strange coin
Vehicle upgrades - 23 strange coins.
Yeah someone rumored 3 but a friend and I got 4. So I'm not certain how much the cap is if there even is one.
Shit, there's whisker holes and everything. That had to be deliberate. lol
Nice..png)
In there

best way to farm Vanguard rep besides bounties?
Yes
Pretty much. Thus why you have afks in Rumble.
You stock up on heavy/secondary ammo, then sit back in the 2nd room before Phogoth and snipe him through a door crack. You can also run to the doorway and shoot rockets at him, risky considering his beam will one shot you, lol. We did it legit up to that point, but I don't see how anyone could actually go in the room and kill the adds AND dodge his beam without wiping.

If you're not wearing a faction class item, it goes to crucible
Got into a melee fight with another Titan Defender and we both plopped down Wards of Dawn and just slugged it out.
Totally confused are own teammates, though, since both sides ran into the opposite Wards and ended up dying.
Also, managed to fake someone out by jumping into a leftover Ward from a guy's teammate, making him think it was my own.

Heres a protip, use a shotgun and then quickly melee. Thank me later

Don't forget the shingen or Cydonia auto-rifles(Do not use any high-recoil ARs like the Sahara). I mean, seriously, don't use anything else if you feel you're bad at fpses, they're the most forgiving guns for missing.
Yeah it's random. I got it in a rumble match. It's 4 in the morning, I'm playing like ass

Well, i've got spinal muscular atrophy so my reflexes aren't beautiful...but that might work. How close should I be with shotguns?

I don't understand shotgun complaints. Shotguns have been and always will be wrecking balls in melee range. It has been this way all through Halo's lifetime and it is no different here.
Happy to say I've been successful with most weapon types in PvP, aside from scout rifle, I suck hard with a scout rifle.

Depends on the range of the shotgun, but generally you have to be practically touching them for a one-shot kill. However, you can be about 4-5 steps away and do enough damage to follow up with a quick melee.
edit:
The shotgun itself isn't really the problem, I agree. The shotgun in Destiny has lower range than the Halo shotgun, so it's actually weaker. However, the way most of the maps are set up favor close range encounters, which makes the shotgun an obvious choice, though the fusion rifle works pretty well if you're good with it. Also, the fact that it's so easy to get secondary ammo doesn't help either.
I have done well trying out every primary myself, but the AR is definitely the all-around best. A low recoil one can get you steady headshots, and if you miss one or two shots it barely effects your damage output. If you miss a hand cannon shot, you've lost a full second of firing.
