Destiny’s 1.0.2 patch which makes changes to Cryptarch is live

4.6
Destiny’s 1.0.2 patch is now available.


The patch makes changes to Cryptarch and Engrams, the latter of which will now always decode into items above or at original quality.

Legendary Engrams will now always produce Legendary or better items and Rare Engrams will now produce Rare or better items with the increased chance to produce Legendary items.

Full patch notes are below:

Cryptarch

Legendary (purple) engrams will always produce a Legendary quality item or higher
Note: Legendary engrams that exist in your inventory will change to Rare quality items when the patch is applied. However, decoding these engrams will still produce the same results as before
Rare (blue) engrams will always produce a Rare quality item or higher
Chance for Legendary gear increased
Materials: Ascendant Shards and Ascendant Energy promoted to Legendary quality (from Rare quality)

Rewards

Rare (Blue) and Legendary (Purple) Engram drops added to the potential rewards for:
Vanguard: Tiger Strike Playlist
Daily Heroic Missions (first time per day)
Weekly Heroic Missions (first time per week)
Known issues
When selecting a higher difficulty for daily missions, XP Bonus not show in the reward display
You will still get the XP bonus, you just won’t see it in the UI

Crucible

Reduced time limit on Bastion and First Light in Control and Clash from 15 to 12 minutes, bringing them in line with non-vehicle maps in those playlists
Lowered weighting on Bastion and First Light in Control and Clash so they appear less often in those playlists

I would love to get the Legendary Engram only because it's purple.

Gossip Why do they add all these patches when the game is released. Its like were still playing the beta and they're still making the game right which is stupid cause a game should be perfect when its released.


Please re-read your statement, and hopefully realize your flawed logic. EVERYTHING, including games, can ALWAYS be BETTER. These updates are pushed out for the players to even further enhance their experience, as every game developer/anyone selling a product in general should do.



Exactly. some Developers may not know something is broken until thousands of players break it. look at the first loot cave. i don't think they expected it to be broken like that. and because of that they realized the engrams and drops needed to be a bit easier if everyone was willing to spend hours shooting at a black hole

It's great I missed this patch yesterday all day cause internet died, but happy legendaries will be guaranteed.

Finally, I've wasted like 5 legendary engrams already, and not finding any thing within them, apart from rare items.

A game will always have it's issues after release, but some games have larger flaws than others. This game has a lot of flaws that stick out, but patches are to be expected.

I hope this is just banter.
