Destiny 1.2.0 Patch Released, House Of Wolves Will Launch On Time

Peter Paltridge · May 15, 2015

That was a close one, but everything's cool now. Bungie managed to fix the unspecified nasty bug in the latest Destiny patch and has sent out a correction. This paves the way for the House of Wolves DLC to be applied with no issues. Now you'll be able to thrash around in the House of Elders as scheduled.

But the patch does some other things as well. The Commendations system has been eliminated, and any leftover commendations you have can be converted into +250 reputations gains in the Vanguard, Crucible, or Faction clans. Vendor items will now be visible on the Destiny mobile app, so if you want to know what Xur is selling, you no longer have to load up the actual game first.

And there's still a small issue: the Cryptarch won't recognize some legendary Engrams under the current patch; they'll be turned into Shards if brought forth. It's recommended that all Guardians hang onto their purple Engrams until the DLC launches, which will come with its own patch, 1.2.0.1.

See the patch notes below for all the details.
Weapons

Fixed an issue in which Vex Mythoclast was not respawning with primary ammunition

Fixed an issue with the Hive Disruptor perk, which now appears in the Black Hammer perk set again

Fixed an issue in which the Phantom Gift and White Nail perks would become interrupted when non-precision damage occurred from other perks

Bonus damage from other perks (e.g., Explosive Rounds, Hive Disruptor) no longer interrupts the count

Three precision hits within the time window will trigger the intended refund bonus

Fixed an issue in which the Hive Disruptor perk did not work correctly with sustained damage events (auto rifles, pulse, etc.)

Oracle Disruptor perk now triggers more often

Hive Disruptor perk now triggers more often, but does less damage per event

PVP

Salvage: Moved the first Relic to more consistently appear in a centralized position on the map

Fixed an issue that caused players to wait an excessively long time to respawn

Tower

Faction reward packages will no longer produce Shards

The Speaker will now exchange Ascendant and Radiant Materials for Glimmer and Motes of Light

Xûr will now exchange Strange Coins for Motes of Light

Commendations are no longer required to purchase gear

Commendations can now be converted to receive +250 gains in Vanguard, Crucible, or Faction reputation

Note: Etheric Light will not be made available for ascending gear until the release of House of Wolves

User Interface

Vendor Interaction Panel has been updated to support Quest chains

Vendor Interaction Panel now has better animations and fewer popping issues

Number of buffs that can be displayed on the Character screen has been increased

Inventory item stacks that have reached their highest possible count will now display gold numbers along with an alert in the tooltip that maximum quantities have been acquired

Audio

Added improved feedback for players who take damage from energy weapons

Companion

Fixed an issue in which the Mercury Grimoire card was not being awarded

Retroactively awarded the Mercury Grimoire card to players who have found the "Mercury Memory Fragment" Dead Ghost

Vendor items, damage types, and perks will now be visible on Bungie.net and the Mobile App

Technical

Addressed a crash on Xbox One that was induced when too many explosions/projectiles were generated

Fixed an issue that affected the network quality user interface

Indicators will no longer display persistently bad ("red") quality after a user's connection recovers from a temporary quality issue

The quality indicators should now always correctly reflect a user's live connection quality

*Addendum

We have discovered that Legendary Engrams will drop in 1.2.0 that the Cryptarchs will not recognize

Hold on to all newly-acquired purple Engrams until May 19th to benefit from their upgraded decryption skillset

That's good news for the new DLC, and I like the other parts of the update, too.

Looking forward to some new missions tonight, and prison of elders.
