Bought Beyond Light. Yeah... I don't understand this game at all. Help?

I do no damage.

I see people doing all sorts of neat things, quite rapidly, bit I have 3 skills that recharge super slowly.

I do not have any idea what I am supposed to do to get new skills like those.

I have some armor... it has a slot or two. Yay, single stat increase?

I tried both the Gambits and Crucible.

I can barely kill any of the mobs, and cannot make even a dent in other players.

I just went into a Crucible and tried. I die before I can even move, most times. When I can move, and find another player and shot, it does nothing.

I do not get this game.

How does one even begin?

I am somewhat discouraged.

If you’d like someone to show you the ropes I’d be more than happy to help. I’ve got a few friends right now who are just starting off too.

I will admit the game can be very daunting at first. But if you keep at it, one day you’ll log in and find you’re in love with the character you’ve built over these many hours.

Sounds like a typical new file, in any rpg, like in Fallout 3 you start with practically nothing, might find a baseball bat, only have your jumpsuit, and little to no skills.

So to increase your level in Destiny every time you pick up a Blue, Purple, or Yellow loot, if its an Engram you'll have to go to the tower to decrypt it you need to find a safe spot go into your inventory and if its got a higher number then you need to equip it.

I'm guessing your Power Level is around 1100, honestly to survive Europa you need to be at least 1200, I suggest going into Strike Playlist as it's an 1100 activity, you get two others to help you get through the strike and there's always gear at the end.

If your character is below 1100, vault all your gear, create a new file of that character and do the new light campaign.

One of my Nephews had a Guardian on his Xbox One, that was 600 power, everything was ?? and Immune to him, I told him that he's better off just making a new file, because it will start at 1100 power.
