Destiny: patch 1.2.0 notes leak
Bungie deployed Destiny patch version 1.2.0 yesterday without publishing a list of notes, so the community decided to take matters into its own hands.
Destiny's patch 1.2.0 is a mystery. Everyone has it, but not everyone knows what it changes/fixes. While Bungie said that no player-facing changes have been activated just yet, Destiny players are still eager to learn what they are.
Redditor Quinonvocabitur is one such player. He went on looking for details on Bungie's website and found a few notes after some tinkering.
Keep in mind that this data was not public for a reason. Some changes may be out of date, others could end up not being part of the patch to begin with. It's best to take it with a grain of salt.
