Bungie has acknowledged the success on its own Twitter account, also:

Note the collected 1,605 deaths by the six-person team (calculated via K/D ratios). Maybe a little extra grinding wouldn't hurt before diving in.
Original Story:
Bungie warned us that Destiny’s first six-person raid, the Vault of Glass, would be a challenge. The studio recommends that you be at least level 26 before attempting it, and it seems like there’s a good reason for it.
According to Bungie this morning, the first five hours of availability have yielded no victories. Not a single team has managed to complete the Vault of Glass.
If you’ve managed to get a party and give it a try, we’d love for you to share your experiences in the comments. For more on Destiny, check out our review.

Our Take
I’m looking forward to reaching a high enough level to attempt this. I’ve been pushing myself to tackle harder challenges in the game, and this sounds like it will keep me engaged for even longer.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
