Although everyone can agree they're useless in PVE, can you suggest a way that they could balance PVE design with shotguns and prevent them from being OP in PVP? I just don't think every weapon type is intended to be used in every aspect of the game. I for one am okay w/ that. I'm sure they'll come out w/ a boss at some point that will allow you to make use of them.
Na I can't. Just rustles the jim jams because I love using shotguns in the game. That's what I wanted my Titan to be modeled after (Auto rifle, shotgun, and bazooka..like the one from the Led Zeppelin commercial). Every boss having a 1 shot mechanic when you get close just stinks :/ Only real suggestion I have is give shotguns an extra ability where you take less damage from a bosses 1 shot

Darn. No cheesing crota chests tomorrow before i go to work. Was hoping for one more easy shot at loot. Anyone else not like the adding of strange coins to the nightfall? One more thing on the loot table just means the good stuff is that much more rare to have come up on the rng .
Edit: and has anyone heard bungie address no matchmaking on the weekly or nightfall lately? Was hoping that was in the pipeline. Just silly to not have it as an option 4+ months after launch.

Strange coins could always be rewarded for Nightfalls. What I believe they are saying is Nightfalls will always give up to 9 strange coins now as an additional reward.
Oh that's a good change then. Odd I've never noticed receiving the coins before on a nightfall. Thanks for clarifying.
FYI, people are saying you can loot the first chest again, and get mats even tho you looted them earlier in the week.
You have to install the patch tho

yeah i just looted the first chest again on all my chars and i cleared CE already this week. i think a few people have tried to rerun deathsinger and gotten nothing though, so it looks like its just the first chest. probably just an artifact of the way they have moved the loot around, the pit chest is now considered a new loot chest (shards only)
also public events can now give radiant shards/energy (not ascendant) as a reward so its worth trying to do one daily if you need tons of mats to hit 32. easy one is to head to divide on earth, it spawns around every 30 mins
really glad i got my flawless run done yesterday, it was pretty sneaky of bungie sneaking in this patch today

Confirmed. First chest is giving out rewards after the patch. I just did it.
I wonder if Deathsinger gives out rewards too since she was also changed.

People saying no, but from what I've seen they had already killed death singer earlier in the week

That's what I was wondering. I looted the chest earlier this week but was able to loot it again for materials 10 minutes ago. I figured it was because they changed the loot table there. So I thought that Deathsinger might have given out loot if she had been killed earlier since they added a loot table to her. Guess not though. 2 extra shards and energies are fine by me.
It might also be a case of she only has a chance to drop exotics, hence people just haven't gotten lucky yet.
