Crota's End Available day 1 on expansion release

Ok, guys. Bungie just confirmed last night that the new raid will be available on day one of the expansion launch. They have mentioned that the strikes and raid will play into the new story line "culminating" in the raid. Not sure if that means that we have to play through the rest of the DLC content prior to starting the raid. Bungie has also confirmed that Crota's end will begin at level 30 (normal) and no official mention about the level of hard mode yet. However, datamining suggests that the hardmode version will be level 33. Which I for one think is awesome, because we will only be able to reach level 32. Which probably means that hard mode will be super difficult, at least for a while;) Lastly, I have seen it suggested that we are also getting a new level for the Vault of Glass. VoG is supposed to be offering a new level 31 version. Not sure if this is an official announcement or speculation. Nor am I sure on what this would mean in terms of loot. But, seems like a cool way to keep VoG alive. 6 raids a week! Sheesh! We will be busy! Anyway guys, make sure to level up your solar damage weapons, bear in mind that arc damage will probably also be very useful, as Hive Knights have arc shields. I'm super excited to tackle the new raid as a group. Let's hold it down this last week on VoG. Pray to RNGesus that I get Mythoclast, as I'm sure you are all tired of hearing me bitch about it.
