Arbitrations Revisited: Hotfix 25.7.6

[Thelamaking 206]

What's the point in increasing the Vitus Essence gain if all the new stuff is actually in the drop table?

  • Arcane Tanker: On Heavy Weapon Summon: Gain 1200 armor for 16 seconds*

Well, here is the part when I desperately need downvote button. Seems like feedback on these in the announcement topic went completely ignored

thanks

Thanks Danielle. A bit bummed feedback regarding some of the changes (specifically, Arcanes and mods being added in exchange of vitus essence instead of diluting the tables) were not considered pre-release though.

ALSO: Still no fix for:

Excalibur Prime tintmask and default colors being screwed up post PBR conversion:

Impetus Prime Syandana having bad physics post Saint of Altra. Please fix my Imperial silk cape:

Vauban Prime parts toggle not working properly because of the newly added clothes for base Vauban. Not adding links here because reddit and forums has enough topics already.

Also please Danielle, upload Wukong Prime glyph into the forum. The Prime Access is about to end and it still hasn't been added. Make sure to upload Atlas beforehand, especially since it's already announced, so there's no leak possible.

Thanks a lot for your time guys 🙂

Fixed the Norg Mask not appearing in Nakak’s Masks and Oddities rotation. 

So it was broken and it took until now to admit it? What about the Lotus mask also? That hasn't appeared either.

pack leader heals your pet with each strike. this is not an arcane this is blatant bloatware

[___Grim___ 149]

Seems like just diluting the drop table with mediocre mods/arcanes.

[Sdric 423]

Mods and arcanes are being added to dilute the droptable further instead of making them part of the Vitus Essence shop. Yet again, DE is ignoring massive amounts  of player feedback. By now "iterate on other community feedback" feels like an empty phrase.... 

(Especially considering that 96% of all players who voiced their opinions on reddit were AGAINST diluting the droptable, but adding the new stuff to the Arbitration shop instead...)

"Made micro-optimizations to core math libraries" 

Spoiler

• eliminated several instructions from matrix multiply for Neon and improved scheduling for all platforms
• multiplexed scalar SinCos to do both calculations at the same time (213% faster on my PC)
• translated scalar SinCos to float32x2_t for Switch (27% faster)
• fused the sin and cos calls in AngleToVector
• made scaling matrix functions about half as many instructions for Neon
• changed Noen Matrix <-> Matrix16 to use structured-load/store instructions
• Changed determinant function to use vdot4 where it can be done with horizontal adds
• cache-line aligned some of the matrix constants
• simplified Neon Matrix::ScaleAxes(Vector) to match other platforms
• shaved a few instructions and a memory access from matrix-from-angle for SSE
• tried several ways of writing matrix-from-angle with NEON but *out++ is hard to beat on ARM
• made micro-optimizations for platforms that support FMA (Switch, future PCs)
• switch some code to __vsel instead in one instruction on some platforms
• changed matrix compares to improve opcode scheduling
• Changed Matrix-From-Euler to scalar path since it's slightly faster (added benchmarks)
• Changed several matrix functions to vmulq_n_f32/vmlaq_n_f32 (Clang made this optimization but helps debug builds)
• Changed determinant and inverse functions to use __vdot4s and scalar reciprocal
• wrote native Neon optimization for SetBoneVelocities rather than emulating SSE

So... my rewards on my arbi got changed because i extracted after the hotfix... Great game.. 10/10... RIP Drop tables in arbis .____.

Tbh I could use that in one or two kills where I don't have pack leader on my pet, particularly the charger set build I got.

Still no fix for nikana zaw disappearing sheath.

Thank You

[Anthraxicus 1,190]

Meh

DE went through with the tiny changes to rewards and nothing for the mode itself

[Briaray 28]

New aura mods... Naaahhh... Dear DE - you already have an amalgam mods that no one ever uses - and again you make a whole pack of auras - only "try in simulacrum - and forget." Tell me - are you really not sorry for your time and energy to create this?  If you like it and you are satisfied with everything - well, well ... thanks))

Welp, I understood nothing, but I appreciate having a detailed list 😛 Thanks Glen! 🙂

Welp, that was short-lived. Thanks for the update and fixes!
