In the MMO shooter Destiny players get a taste of patch 1.2.0. It is expected to arrive shortly before the next DLC “House of Wolves.”
This week Destiny focuses on PvP. This is the piece of the next DLC “House of Wolves” that will be extensively presented this week.
What Patch 1.2.0 changes in Destiny’s Crucible
In the Weekly Update, Community Manager DeeJ outlines the changes that patch 1.2.0 will bring for everyone, not just for players who purchase House of Wolves:
- The “Spawn-Locking” issues in Iron Banner will be fixed
- New legendary items are expected to appear in the Crucible rewards (the US site IGN mentions 12)
- The first Crucible match of the day will give a new “Reward Package” (according to IGN, this can contain Glimmer, Light particles, or Trial Coins that can be exchanged for buffs in Trials of Osiris)
- Reputation and tokens will be doubled in the Crucible
- In Iron Banner, there is a chance to get Etheric Light at levels 3 and 5. This is the item needed for upgrading legendary weapons and armor (yesterday we thought this would be a guaranteed reward)
- And the three maps Pantheon, Cauldron, and Skyforge, which came with the last DLC, are now available to everyone
Exclusive T-Shirt, Shader, and Emblem for Nepal Relief
Bungie has launched a relief campaign for the victims of the earthquake in Nepal. They offer a T-shirt in the Bungie store. In addition to the shirt in three variants and various sizes (the men’s shirt is available in eight sizes, for instance), people who wish to donate here will also receive an exclusive in-game shader and emblem. Those who pre-order now until May 24th will receive these items later this summer.
Problem for us Europeans: The shipping costs are more than double the price of the shirt. 1000 T-shirts have already been sold.
Continuing as planned, Destiny will have the next live stream on Wednesday, May 6th, at 8:00 PM. This will cover the PvE activity “Prison of Elders.” Everyone will be happy about this, who has been inundated with PvP information this week and has no idea about the game mode.
For us, it continues with Destiny at 11:00 AM. Xur will also arrive at the Tower on May 1st. We will report on this.
