Bungie Deploys Pre-House Of Wolves Patch And Notes Detailing Destiny Changes
Bungie has addressed the problems holding up activation of patch 1.2.0, and the next time you begin from the start menu, you’ll have access to all the changes. The update fixes problems with a couple of key weapons and some tweaks to the Cryptarch.
Here are the highlights:
- Vex Mythoclast ammo spawn bug has been fixed
- Black Hammer now has its Hive Disruptor perk back
- Hive Disruptor now works properly with sustained damage weapons
- Faction rewards (for ranking up) no longer have shards in them
- Xûr will now let you exchange strange coins for motes of light
- The commendation system (requirement for some gear purchases) has been retired
- Existing commendations get you 250 rank points with related faction
Important note: between now and House of Wolves release on May 19 do not have the cryptarch decode legendary engrams. Hold onto them until the expansion arrives.
There will be another hotfix deployed around 1 p.m. on May 19 when House of Wolves launches. Here are the highlights:
- Legendary engrams won’t be converted to shards. You’ll get gear or weapons all the time.
- Daily heroic missions will give you motes of light instead of shards.
- A new mechanism to recover connections (instead of automatically being kicked to orbit) will begin rolling out. This will start with Trials of Osiris and then other activities will be added.
You can check out the full patch notes on Bungie’s website.
