Title says it all. The raid will come out later, and they're not saying when. Good job bungie. You keep making such great decisions.

Edit: ok, a couple things.
1; yes, i know they did this with VOG and with crota's hard mode. I was there from the start, i remember all this.
2; in some ways it does make sense. Let everyone level up, then start the race.
3; I'm not sitting here flipping shit over this. I felt like informing the community on something that bungie has, for some reason, failed to mention for quite a while now. Seems shady to me. Wait for everyone to preorder because of hype, then say at the last minute "oh yeah, you won't get your raid yet." Bad business practice.
4; of its out in a week or 2 that's fine. But the fact is, we don't know at this point because bungie is silent. It might be a month or 2 (doubtful, but who knows. We damn sure don't).
So bungie, if you read this, give us a time we can expect the raid. Don't just say eventually. Don't make the community speculate.
Edit 2; got a response from cozmo.
[quote]It's not getting postponed, pushed back, or anything like that. We are simply doing the same thing that we did with the Vault of Glass and giving everyone some time to level up and get ready for the race to worlds first. The Raid will follow shortly after The Taken King releases.[/quote]
Edit 3; YES, i know this had happened before. VOG didn't come out at first. But then with dark below, crota's raid DID come out immediately,with hard mode being released later. So there is a set precedence for either thing to happen. And considering that every endgame activity in every dlc has been available from the start, it's not to far fetched to assume that could be the case here

This is common knowledge if you follow the game off this app or website you'd know it comes in the 18th. 3 days of grinding later.
-
Only buying taken king for raid
-
They said the 18th.
-
OK seriously everyraid releaswd was not available the day of the other content, this is not feed nor news it merely scaremongering and propoganada based on untruths ... So hush your mutterings and chill
-
Lol some one got his mouth shut quik.
-
Three days, man. You'll make it.
-
Raid comes out 3 days after ttk launch. Boom be quiet and sit down.
-
Raid comes out 9-18-15

Edited by Unforgiven: 8/31/2015 11:53:18 PMYou can't play it right out of the gate anyhow as a 34...
-
Yet another example of people jumping to conclusions based on opinion instead of fact. I'm starting a campaign to require an iq test before you get access to the internet.
-
Are there no week 1 players left or something? We had to wait for the vault after all.

It's not getting postponed, pushed back, or anything like that. We are simply doing the same thing that we did with the Vault of Glass and giving everyone some time to level up and get ready for the race to worlds first. The Raid will follow shortly after The Taken King releases.

Plenty of bounties and quests to do after the story .not to forget fractions to join as well with more quest there .grind so be it its the destiny way .lol. . No matter what .. the raid will come soon enough . Getting to lvl 40 is nothing its the light level you need for your gear that counts the most . And not everyone will have the same light level in the beginning. Id rather get lvled up before doing the raid..
-
Same as VoG... whatever. We all have to go through the story and such anyway before doing, and have to be level 40. I swear the ability of this community to find anything and everything to bitch about just blows my mind. It's one gripe after another.
-
They want everyone to level up, no one will be level 40 on day one
-
Following the VoG pattern. Not really losing my shit over it.
-
Who gives a shit about who comes in first , they could have ad an level 34 raid in easily. the content is probebly lacking as allways , so they are streching it again. if you want to do it on a higher level you just wait for it, level up and do it then. they are just control freaks , it has to go there way . if the raid is fun to do ,who cares on what level you are playing it on, bs from Bungie again.
-
So they can come out with raid later and charge us more for it.
-
Then WTF are you complaining about?
-
There is eight story missions... Saying this is the same as vanilla is disingenuous. It's half the size. So after you finish TTK in an hour and a half you'll have nothing left to do. Only end game content will be strikes... Only three are new by the way. The others are rehashed shit you've done a million times. The only way I can rationalize this move is Bungie desperately trying to make this DLC appear larger than it actually is. Which is a farce.
-
Lol i can see it now .. Raid not in dlc...so need to buy next one for 20.00
-
Well, that way they can charge everybody an extra $20 as add on content.

Edited by Lee C Miller: 8/31/2015 5:34:06 PMCompletely agree with you buddy. They said we wouldn't get a raid for HOW because it was not finished and they needed more time. So HOW was utter garbage on its own and was not worth any amount of money!! Now fast forward quite a few more months later.. And TTK is due for release and guess what.. No raid at the release date and more over priced content. Sorry BUNGIE but when will you be able o give us exact answers to ANYTHING. You guys are a shambles.. Anyone who thinks this is good business practise is mental. So yeh they did it before ehh? So that's an excuse to continue to do it? It was wrong then and it's wrong now. It's a poor mans way of extending the game for a bit longer so it can complete against the BIG A lister gamers coming out later in the year. And guess what? not even the raid will stop people from leaving destiny to play the BETTER games!!
-
I'm speechless at what pieces of crap this company is. Pure scum. Of course they don't say anything because they are trying to trick people into buying their $40 expansion. Pure scumbag.
-
Lack of communication will be their downfall. We should have known since the beginning an approximate date of when the raid would be available [b]BY BUNGIE THEMSELVES!!![/b] People already think they are shady. And it's like all they can do decision after decision is add fuel to the fire.
-
Smh everyone is missing the point. So what if we get killed 1k times over trying to run a raid under leveled it's the point that we paid money for something only to find out we are not getting everything that was promised. Good thing bungie doesn't have a legal prostitution ring or we would all have blue balls
