Iron Banner
  • Adjusted the power curve for Iron Banner playlists to accommodate the competitive range of power in House of Wolves

Destiny Update - 05/15/2015 | 1.2.0
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

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

  • 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

  • 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 Rare and Legendary Engrams will drop in 1.2.0 that the Cryptarchs will not recognize
  • Hold on to all newly-acquired Engrams until May 19th to benefit from their upgraded decryption skillset


The following is a preview of changes that will take effect on May 19th, 2015 on or soon after 10AM PST with the manual activation of House of Wolves.

Succinct, informative OP. Nice job Zoba.

Really looking forward to the story missions. Bungie has kept them under wraps, but the peeks they've shown look great. I'm hopeful they were able to shake things up this time around.

Great OP! Might be nice to also list all of the "Quality of Life" improvements since launch, such as audio controls, color blind modes, faction ranking in the UI, etc.
