Yup, pretty sucky. Also sorry to tell you, this will likely happen again in the future. The PC updates always come out because there is no cert process, DE can push an update that bricks your PC and there's no one to stop them. Other than the monumental backlash. The consoles' cert process pretty much checks that the update doesn't do that or any other really bad stuff, before allowing it to go ahead. Apple on the other hand is notorious in the industry for rejecting updates due to unclear and seemingly arbitrary reasons. Which is likely what happened here.

Sorry to break it to you, but a toggle will likely never exist. It's not a new lighting system sitting on top of the old lights, it's that the old lights were completely replaced. Disabling them would just make the maps unlit. And even if they kept a copy of the old lights for the areas where they existed, the toggle would remove all lights from the new maps. Because a version of them was never built using the old lights.

There is no performance and technical reason going on here. This is 100% a Twitch policy thing, which likely only exists because of Apple's policies. If you're giving out a drop that can be used in an IOS app or game, you MUST enable a toggle that hides that drop in the Twitch IOS app. The reason this policy likely spawns from Apple restrictions is because no such toggle exists for android devices. Apple, for some asinine reason, likely considers the app to app exchange of getting Warframe items from the Twitch app then using them in the Warframe app as circumventing their purchasing policies. Also, very important. You are correct, it is only claiming the drop that is affected. You will still earn progress. The toggle hides the drop from the IOS Twitch app, but it does not stop the tracking. So you have to check somewhere else for your progress or to actually claim the item.

The glaive fix is coming in the next cert build. https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1374373-whispers-in-the-walls-known-issues-thread/

Known bug, getting fixed in the next hotfix.

This is an improvement. But it doesn't change the fact that you told us you would update the Nightwave in a specific manner for 2 months. Updated the Nightwave in exactly the way you said you would. Then went "Whups!!!", that's actually an error and the Nightwave is really going to be updated in this objectively worse manner. At what point in that 2 month timespan was this decision made and why we told after the good update was put in the game?

Continuing the miscommunication hope, this post and the edited one are both by DE Sam. So still miscommunication to 1 dude. If they edit Taylor's Abyss of Dagath workshop, then my hope will be gone.

It shouldn't. Blue Shards add a flat value after mods. Since the total value after mods is staying the same. Nothing changes.

The changes take mods into account. Look at the Odonata example in the workshop. It had it's stats "lowered" the same as Itzal. But with mods, it ends up the same or better.
