Trials of Osiris - Flawless Victory

CruelLEGACY sent us a compilation vid he made. I'll just let him introduce it: "Week 5 features the Thieves' Den map. Being a relatively new map, a lot of players are still getting a feel for its specific ins and outs.

Destiny Update 1.2.0

After a slight delay, Bungie has released Destiny Update 1.2.0 this morning. Here are the patch notes from Bungie.net (which also include preview notes for next week's hot fix to activate House of Wolves):

1.2.0 : The one to pre-load House of Wolves

Weapons

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

    • 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

  • Vendor Interaction Panel now has better animations and fewer popping issues

Companion

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
