During this week's livestream for Destiny's upcoming expansion, House of Wolves, Bungie detailed a few changes they'll be making to the Crucible.
In yesterday's blog post, it was confirmed that these changes will make their way into the game with Updaet 1.2.0, which will arrive "shortly before" the May 19th release of House of Wolves.
"It will be another evolution for the experience you know," Bungie said, recapping all of the changes coming to Destiny's PvP.
- The spawn locking issue currently affecting Iron Banner will be fixed
- Legendary items will be added to post-game reward tables for all Crucible activities
- Your first match in the daily featured Crucible activity will earn you a new reward package each day
- Reputation and Mark gains will double for each completed Crucible match
- Etheric Light has a chance of being included in Iron Banner reward packages for Rank 3 and Rank 5
- And, finally, these maps from The Dark Below will become the domain of all and be added to the standard rotation for select playlists: Pantheon, Skyshock, The Cauldron
As for the future of Destiny's PvP, House of Wolves will bring some big changes with the Trials of Osiris weekly event and four new maps.
Destiny's update 1.1.2 — "the one with Vault spaceand Raid fixes" — was released in mid-April. Full patch notes for the 1.2.0 update will arrive closer to its release.
