I posted this thread about 4 weeks ago
"This week about three of my friends hit level 30, and 2 got the Vex Mythoclast. I admit I was envious at first but then I realized that I'll still be able to get raid gear From Crota's End that will bump me up to 30 maybe even 31, plus one new exotic will get me to 32, meaning the VoG will become useless.
Hehe hehe
Edit: just heard normal raid will actually be 30, hard will be 32
Edit 2: there will be other ways to get to 30 in the Dark Below besides Raid and Banner. So it really is pointless to to get to 30 before DLC"
The amount of hate I received on this thread was unreal. But look. Look at me now. I was right. Maybe not about getting the gear from Crota's End, but there was no point in rushing to level 30 before the DLC, I've already bought the vanguard gloves and will need just one more piece to get to level 30. (Already have 53 vanguard marks, I'll have enough 2 tiger strikes later. I'll have achieved level 30 with only 3 complete VoG clears, and no iron banner. I've heard that they're not even scaling up the VoG legendaries (probably false). Heck I can get higher than level 30 just by buying gear. The VoG Hard Mode won't be nearly as hard as a level 31 1/2. Even if they scale the difficulty up though, there was no reason to grind the Vault to level 30 before the DLC.
Edit 2: Full set of CE Raid Gear. Didn't even need the tower crap.

Tiger strikes? Don't you do ROC?

5 RepliesAnyone that waits to level up is playing the game like a job, rather than for fun. I have over 60 raid clears, and obviously a lot of those were for no reward, and just for the fun of it. Even if the raids gave out vanguard gear, i'd still play them because it's the most enjoyable part of the game for me.

1 ReplyIt's also pointless to hit 32, when you can hit 33 with house of wolves vendor gear.

16 RepliesEdited by KIngJS922: 12/1/2014 2:19:22 AMIt wont its obvious which of you have never played an mmorpg with raids and different tier raids before. Ive explained it 1000 times before so im not going to explain again but all i can say is its not pointless and VoG will not become useless. Stop just seeing this game as a shooter, because it is not. It is an rpg as well as multiplayer online, it is not call of duty, nor is it world of warcraft, but they borrow so many things from standard mmos most of you just honestly cannot understand what even you yourself are talking about when it comes to the game.

1 ReplyNice cop out.

3 RepliesBeing 30 before does matter. In the current raid all the enemies in the Atheon room at level 28 for normal mode. It stands to reason that the new raids boss room will hold level 30 enemies. Meaning 28's will do 40% less damage and the team takes 10% more damage per level, per person under 30. Get to 30 now bro

1 ReplyLogic of a rock

2 RepliesStill, if I can run VoG norm at 24 then I see no reason why I can't run the new raid at 29. Getting to 30 through VoG is pretty much pointless.
-
2 Repliesits been confirmed that normal for the next raid will be 30 and hard will be 32
-
5 RepliesIt's not pointless to be a 30 since the raid will be 30.....have fun getting destroyed in the new raid
-
4 Repliesplanet destiny isn't the best source of information, and having the raid top out 1 level higher than the player level cap makes no sense. It will likely be either 28/32 or slightly less likely 30/32.

3 RepliesEdited by Apollo 00063: 12/3/2014 11:41:26 PMI'm not sure how the Hard Raid is supposed to be 33 when the new cap will be 32....might want to re-evaluate the sources there. It's all speculation - but if you go with what Bungie has already established, the new normal raid should be 28 and Hard will be set at the cap - 32....just like the Hard VoG is at the current cap of 30.

4 RepliesThis whole game is pointless unless you like shooting stuff which I do so it's fun , but no really there is no point to this game nothing you do effects the world in this game . Earth doesn't even notice you have killed thousands of fallen and hive for them !

2 RepliesEverything in life is pointless, we are all going to just die anyways are we not.

You know how it is with hard mode vog people won't take people under 30. Even if it changed to 28 for easy people will still only take 30s hence why I made sure I was 30 before the dlc

1 ReplyIt is pointless to get to 30 before the DLC. Unless you, y'know, want to do more damage and die less.

1 ReplyQuit following planet destiny they are wrong all the time. That's your first mistake. Lol if you look at the article about VOG before it released you will see they were wrong about that raid. Lol no one knows what it's gonna be. So wait until next Tuesday and see. Good lord be patient. And good luck doing the next raids not being level 30 lol you probably haven't even done this one legit
-
5 RepliesI don't think they've said anything about it but I would bet that they eventually put out a Lvl 32 version of the vault with lvl 32 vault gear to keep the vault viable.
-
44 RepliesLook man, not to put you on blast, but you have 3 characters, a 29, a 5, and a16. not only that, but you have a grimore of less than 2000, which indicates that you are quite new a this game. I can't understand your logic being that you have not spent much effort into the current content to even be thinking about DLC end game.

9 RepliesNew hard raid will be 32 this has been confirmed.

4 RepliesVOG unless? You do know there is a chest in that raid that gives you an exotic for free? Almost a chance that LB would drop a random exotic. So two chances to get an exotic. I'm guessing the same for the new raid. Plus a chance on the nightfall. So that's 5 chances to get a exotic drop. 5! A week. Per toon. So with three toons. That's 15 a week. So after this raid, we all should be getting a lot more.

2 RepliesIt is pointless to worry about level at all at this stage of the game. Look at it this way.. The quicker you get 3 characters to 30- the less there is to do in Destiny. I'm not saying go have picnic's at the tower.. But damn.. People are hardcore about their levels, on a confused, quasi-MMO shooter that's hasn't even been out for 6 months. Deep breath..... Gooooz Faaah Braaaaah

5 RepliesBeing a level 30 gives you max damage in hard raid and makes next raid easier.
-
4 RepliesNo, the hard mode would be 32 not 33. Since 32 would be the max lvl.
-
2 RepliesYeah but it would be nice to run the new raid as a 30 instead of a 28 or 29, plus the raid weapons are geared toward the weaknesses of the enemies in the next raid. I'm not 30 yet either, but I would like to be there before dlc just to keep myself moving as soon as it drops.

1 ReplyI'm sure it will be much easier to get through the LVL 28 raid as a 30 though. Plus you'll get much better rewards for the hard raid which you won't get through as a 28 soooooooooooo have fun buddy.
