1.0.2 - Patch is Live

Summary:
With this patch, we address some widely-discussed concerns with how Engrams are earned and claimed. Strikes have become more rewarding, and the rewards gained from them are more predictable. Also affected is the rotation of maps that appear in the Crucible.
Cryptarch

• Legendary (purple) engrams will always produce a Legendary quality item or higher
  

• Note: Legendary engrams that exist in your inventory will change to Rare quality items when the patch is applied. However, decoding these engrams will still produce the same results as before
  

• Rare (blue) engrams will always produce a Rare quality item or higher

• Chance for Legendary gear increased

• Materials: Ascendant Shards and Ascendant Energy promoted to Legendary quality (from Rare quality)
  

Rewards

• Rare (Blue) and Legendary (Purple) Engram drops added to the potential rewards for:
  

• Vanguard: Tiger Strike Playlist
• Daily Heroic Missions (first time per day)
• Weekly Heroic Missions (first time per week)

• Known issues

• When selecting a higher difficulty for daily missions, XP Bonus not show in the reward display
  
• You will still get the XP bonus, you just won't see it in the UI

Crucible

• Reduced time limit on Bastion and First Light in Control and Clash from 15 to 12 minutes, bringing them in line with non-vehicle maps in those playlists
  
• Lowered weighting on Bastion and First Light in Control and Clash so they appear less often in those playlists

Diablo 3 Patch 1.0.2 Changes Gameplay

For those interested, here's a
list of known issues for the game, after applying Patch 1.0.2.

I've noticed the item sorting issues right away, though it's certainly not the end of the world.

 

Diablo 3 Patch 1.0.2 Changes Gameplay

Oh wow, that really sucks! I also noticed that the enemies seemed a bit harder to kill after the patch. I was starting Act II with my Hardcore Level 17 Demon Hunter and right away I noticed that I wasn't strong enough. Went back to Act I, redid some quests
and now I'm at Level 20. Restarted Act II and it's now a lot easier...Just need to be VERY cautious when playing on Hardcore mode...

 

Not really sure I understand what this means:

Materials: Ascendant Shards and Ascendant Energy promoted to Legendary quality (from Rare quality)

Any have a better explanation?
