That's right, it's time to party

The day that all of you Guardians have been waiting for has finally arrived, as Destiny's highly anticipated 1.0.2 update is now live, and we know what most of you must be thinking as you read this: it's about bloody time.

As promised, the patch makes changes to the Cryptarch, who had a horrible habit of giving you gear that didn't live up to its supposed rarity. This is no longer the case, as engrams will now decrypt into items of the same colour coded rank or better. On top of that, rewards for completing daily heroic missions, weekly heroic Strikes, and Strikes from the level 24 Vanguard playlist have been tweaked so that you're much more likely to get legendary or rare drops. And finally, a few smaller alterations to the Crucible have been applied. We won't go into the technicalities here, but if you're eager for more details, feel free to visit the official patch notes page.

Do the changes suit your needs, or has the damage already been done? Kick out at the Cryptarch in the comments section below.
