That's the extra materials. Jumping from 1 to the occasional 2.

I think ultimately this is a non-issue: if a player does want to grind all way way to 29 before ever doing the Vault and then take on Crota, why prevent them? I assume they're separate self-contained "stories" rather than anything that means one needs to come before the other, besides the shift in level requirement. For all players of capable level, running each raid once per week per character will be desirable unless you literally have every single potential drop you want from one or the other.
Probably all of them seeing as it's the only way to progress levels?
I'm heading overseas for a week on the 3rd, so that'll be my break.
And it may break me. I'm hopelessly addicted to the grind. I'm at pre-race Formula 1 events today (which should be amazing) and all I can think about it is upgrading and leveling all the new exotics and raid gear I got this week.

unfortunately the raid progression system will render all gear from a previous tier of raiding obsolete, unless they add a visual swap system in the game. hive raid weapons will have a higher max than 300 damage, and raid armor will carry you to 32 instead of 30. there's absolutely no point to do vault of glass outside of cosmetic reasons if you're already 30, or even 29. it's the same problem mmo's have had for decades and will continue to have because with further progression, you demand further power increases, which negates the need for earlier items.

Running the nightfall, better switch out of that raid gear I'm trying to level up so I don't have to be lvl 27. Great gamedesign.
Sunset Overdrive is so good. What is your GT? We can play some chaos squad.
I love that mental space idea. Being in the same situation as you, going from being "obsessed" by Dark Souls 2 to being "obsessed" by Destiny I can relate quite well.
The summoning pits can fuck you up quite quickly with that yeah. This one is a lot more lenient: I know for sure anywhere up to the middle of the cave before the path to the boss (the one with lots of vex) is good. And possibly even before that, but you don't need to go that far. Staying at the entry of this cave (at the beginning of the opened corridor leading to the boss cave) keeps you safe from the Minotaur.
I'm sure you can skip it through grinding but who knows if you can survive the Raid itself.
Right? I was wondering the same. I get enough mats by doing the triangle/pyramid vanguard missions. A half hour to 45 minute run usually gets between 15 and 20 mats along with glimmer and multiple engrams. Chests pop for 10 sometimes for me.
I just have fun shooting shit for a bit and boom next upgrade. I'm assuming people are grinding mats for multiple characters and weapons. I can see it becoming a job at that point but I have never had any frustration getting enough for a single character.

Mytho yes... Raid Helmt not.
Hard mode has a special edition ship it keeps rewarding that is different that the normal raid one. it's also grey and boring like every other one in the game. I forget if the sparrow is hard mode only or not.
Edit: I getting hosed on these replies today. I should just throw in the towel.

Just joined a group for the Raid that was atrocious -- and no, none of them were from here.
Couldn't get past the Sync plates, people ordering each other around, blaming/whining/finger pointing.
One guy was a loudmouth white guy who talked in Ebonics, one was a small child who knew very little about the game. Utter disaster. Glad I left.

I picked up the SO bundle yesterday, set everything up, downloaded the game. Then played Destiny...
Haha, I'm so glad I haven't met any groups like that from GAF.
Fatebringer is the Templar drop handcannon? I want that...
Everyone says the raid helm is a hard Atheon only drop... Not true?
Ohhhh, try again. Someone here just added me today.
Good luck in your attempt at Destiny Sobriety Math. Should we not enable you when we see you online? Lol. Jk.
Sunset is the shit. Finally a game on the One to make that purchase feel justified for me. I've played a good bit the last two nights but I always feel that Destiny itch deep down. I keep thinking I need to level my Suros, I need some helium filaments, I wonder what the crucible bounties are today? You know the feeling....

Just making a statement, but since we're making snide remarks...
I thought you'd left to play Sunset Overdrive already?

I know Giantbomb finished the Glass vault in around 6 hours but what's a decent time for that raid to take with a good group? I would really like to take a shot at it but even if it takes 2 full hours that's a long time for me to put aside for one event.
Yeah I appreciate the plan they laid out with queens missions and IB, regardless of how flawed both were.
If they released a free new planet (Mercury?) with 2-3 story missions, and a new strike I think people would rejoice.

Now I know a great deal many folks are scared of the raid or screwing up or have never done it so I have a proposition: Saturday morning on PS4 (Yeah I know it's early) I'm willing to sherpa you guys on my 30 around 10am EST Sat.
No one will boot you for sucking. We may laugh but that's it. If you're interested ilikespiders on PSN is my tag.

No deaths or stupid glitches? Around 45-60 min.
you don't have to do it all in one go, there are checkpoints and progress only resets once a week on tuesday

2 hours, less even, if everyone knows what theyre doing even on Hard. You can just quit after getting a checkpoint and try again before the weekly reset.
One person in here said they got it from Normal, haven't seen anyone actually get it in Normal though (got mine in Hard.)
Unless it's something like Uncommon in Hard, and Very Rare in Normal. But I doubt it.
If you guys are looking for anyone else to play chaos mode with feel free to send me a request. I took Destiny out until Xurday. GT is the same as my name.
Helm is a Hard only drop. That person is mistaken or maybe it was a glitch luck.

Godspeed man. The hero we deserve.
Lance Reddick gives my chills every fucking time. That man can spit some sweet dialogue! I so want to kick ass after his intros. The female ones though, that's a different story.
