Upcoming Changes to the Crucible DLC, coming soon with Hotfix 2

With the Crucible out for a little over a week now, you've all had a chance to check it out and post your thoughts on it and to report issues.

In light of what we've seen discussed on the forums, we have some great changes coming your way in the near future:

• Smoothed out the probability of earning Epics and Legendaries in the Crucible across all difficulties. Overall rewards should come more predictably.
• Defeating the Crucible's 150th wave now always drops at least one Legendary item, with additional guaranteed Legendaries by difficulty.
• Increased loot gained at waves 1-10 for characters just starting out
• Fixed an issue with the Wave 50 and 100 Checkpoints not properly activating in Multiplayer.
• Wave 50 and 100 Checkpoints are now unlocked across all Crucibles, rather than just the Crucible on which they were earned.
• New Tokens are now available for sale at the Crucible Vendor that unlock the respective difficulty for the character that uses them. Tokens are available for sale respectively on the difficulty they unlock. These Tokens can be placed in the Transfer Stash to use on your other characters.
• Adjusted difficulty scaling at highest waves on Champion and Gladiator difficulties, overall a slight nerf to monsters.
• Crucible Defenses now cost different quantities of Iron Bits based on difficulty, with Aspirant and Challenger cheaper and Gladiator retaining the original values.
• Removed XP Penalty for dying during the event and smoothed out the XP curve. Overall, should result in a more gradual levelling experience in the Crucible rather than a snowballing one.
• Reduced % Reflect damage from monsters in the Crucible by 70%
• Reduced chance to spawn multiple instances of Fabius and the Iron Maiden in Wave 150. On Aspirant difficulty, there will never be duplicates of these Nemesis bosses.
• The Blacksmith in the Crucible can now craft Dynamite. Dynamite can now also drop from the chests.
• Fixed an issue that could cause the Treasure Room door to appear open, but not allow you to pass through.
