[Adjustments and Optimizations]

Expedition Motorbike

Optimized Autopilot Mode

– Adjusted the obstacle-avoidance logic in Autopilot Mode to reduce wrong turns while driving.

– Removed Adaptive Hook prompt in Autopilot Mode.

Material Tracking

Optimized Material Acquisition Process

Now, when you choose to find “Tacet Discords” for a material—after selecting that material in your Backpack or on the Resonators screen—the game will open your map and show you the locations of nearby Tacet Discords that drop that material.

If there aren’t any inactive enemies nearby, or if all nearby inactive enemies have been defeated, the game will automatically start tracking inactive enemies that are further away.

Leveling

Echoes:

Optimized Echo Filtering

We improved how filtering works and made the related screens easier to use. The updated Echo filtering feature now works across all Echo features, like Echo Backpack and Data Bank.

We’ve added features to quickly discard or lock multiple search results at once. You can now select a group of results and either discard them all together or lock them to prevent changes.

Optimized Echo Backpack Interface and Functionality

– Added a quick access button for Data Merge on the Echo Backpack interface.

As a big fan, I’m really excited about the new Smart Discard feature! Now I can automatically get rid of Echoes I don’t need, either by letting the app suggest what to discard, or by setting up my own rules. It’s going to make managing my collection so much easier!

You’ll now get more helpful suggestions for what to do with your Echoes. Based on how many you have and how many you’ve gotten rid of, you’ll be asked if you want to Data Merge or Smart Discard them when your Echo Backpack is full.

Echo Management:

Optimized Echo Management

We’ve updated how Echoes are handled. Now, you can edit plans based on the Sonata Effect, and new Echoes will automatically be locked or flagged for removal depending on the stats of your existing COST4, COST3, and COST1 Echoes within each Sonata Effect.

We’ve added a new feature called Suggested Plans. Now you can easily import pre-built management plans with just a single click.

We’ve added a new feature called Manage Owned Echoes. This lets you quickly get rid of or lock your Echoes in bulk, based on your current subscription plan.

We’ve added a new feature that lets you share and import Echo setups. You can now share your own configurations using a unique Plan Code, and import setups from other users by using their Plan Codes.

We’ve added a new feature called Auto-Discard Non-5-Star Echoes. When you turn it on, it will automatically flag any Echoes that aren’t 5-Star quality for discarding, whether you already have them or get them in the future.

When you need to adjust your scheduled plans, you have two options for all Echo Management plans: you can either just turn them off, or completely remove them and then turn them off.

Enhanced Absorption

Adjusted Enhanced Absorption Criteria

Once you defeat a Tacet Discord, the game first checks the standard chance of dropping an Echo. If an Echo drops based on this standard chance, your attempts at Enhanced Absorption won’t be used.

– Guaranteed Echo drops during quests do not cost any Enhanced Absorption attempt.

There are a ton of graphical changes as well, which you’ll find in the rest of the notes here.

Many players aren’t planning to try and get the new character in this update, but there’s still plenty to enjoy for everyone. The improvements to the game’s quality of life are especially appreciated.
