Destiny update incoming. Raid changes aplenty!

Bungie have a new update for us shortly and they have been quick to cut out the cheese/glitching from the crotas end. They have also added another chest to the raid for slaying the deathslinger but removed the chance of exotics from the first chest. Best news is they have raised all exotic drops in the vault of glass to the higher attack damage rates! Hurrah!

Some details from bungie.net
Crota’s End – Updates
The existing Pit treasure chest reward moved to killing Ir Yut, the Deathsinger. She has a chance to drop Exotic weapons and armor, class pieces, and Radiant materials.
The Pit treasure chest will now contain Radiant Materials.

Pit Encounter
Removed the physics impulse caused by exploding lanterns.

Bridge Encounter
Players will now be required to cross the bridge in order to complete the bridge encounter.
Players will now be required to wait for the bridge to be completed prior to crossing with the sword.

Deathsinger Encounter
Fixed a rare case where the Shriekers would not spawn, preventing players from reaching the Deathsinger.

Crota Encounter
Two Swordbearers will no longer spawn at the same time at the outset of the encounter.
Crota will now recover from his kneeling state after a player quits.
Fixed a bug that allowed players to remove the “Presence of Crota” using a Radiance Warlock’s Fireborn ability.
Fixed a bug that made the Oversoul appear destroyed to some players in a Fireteam when it was actually still active.

Vault of Glass – Updates
Exotic weapon drops in the Vault of Glass are now Level 32.

Getting Swole in the Crucible
The Raid crew wasn’t the only team readying tweaks heading into and out of the holiday season. Our Crucible designers have a few things in the works to add some spice to the early goings of 2015.

Asylum, The Anomaly, and The Burning Shrine maps will be added to existing Clash and Control playlist rotation.
Iron Banner will return, with updated rewards, running from January 13th through January 19th.

Full and final details for Raid, Crucible, and Iron Banner updates will be provided as patch notes next week.

Awesome, nice find mate, rep for the info!

Yep knew they'd patch out all the cheese before they release the Hard version. good thing we're all trained how to do it properly. On a great note it looks like they're adding an extra drop for the Deathsinger bit just before Crota

Vault of Glass news is also awesome and hopefully the Iron Banner will give good light level 36 armour this time though I don't need any now

There were two posts on Bungie forum yesterday about 2 hours after the patch went Live with how you can still easily beat the first two sections of the raid solo or with a friend so patches made it really hard

The first one I've never bothered with, as it's easy enough to do with a group or just one blade dancing hunter can get through no problem.

The second one is nice though, as that section can be a pain if you have lower level people with you. Still we all did that second section with relative ease last Thursday I thought, considering nobody had really done it before.

Crota still has to be done properly as far as I'm aware and he's got all the good stuff anyway.
