The way I personally think this could work, after reading other posts and some of my own ideas is. The way I read it, the level cap is going to be at 34 with HOW? (Feel free to correct me if I am wrong). Up the level of VOG to 33 and make the HOW normal raid 33. Run VOG to RNG for upgraded armor, or to RNG for some type of "crux" that will get your VOG armor to level 32. CE armor will stay the same. Level 33 HOW will allow you to acquire raid hear to get you to level 34. Weapons in VOG and CE level 33 will be upgraded to max attack and either obtained by RNG or said "crux" to upgrade. The HOW weapons will run like normal. Normal gives you specials and heavies, hard mode (either level 34 or 35) will give you primaries/exotic. Make the HOW weapons have good stats/perks comparable to VOG weapons (or CE special/heavies). This way your old raid gear will level up to appropriate level for higher raid level, but new raid gear will still be higher making it more coveted since it is the newer DLC. And if weapons are comparable, the stop being which one do I like better and more, which one is better for which situation. Or something similar where the new raid armor is still a higher level, but old raid gear can get up to an increased level for the specific raids. Anyway, just a thought.
