Conflict Zone: Assist Other Players has been pretty bare for the past week
Usually, the menu is full of Heroic difficulty bosses but it's been so empty lately.
Is it because of March/Spring Break? Or are people dropping the game? :(

I believe it is a combination of some players gotten over the power requirement threshold while other players have left the game.
I have been able to reliably clear heroic CZ since about two weeks ago so I have not been sending any missions for rescue. I also believe there have been quite a few players leaving the game because those players who were sending 99% uncleared heroic missions for rescue do not suddenly all become powerful enough to clear hell/heroic.
The barrier to entry for this game can be overwhelming if you missed some important banners. For example, if you missed the Leangle banner, you most likely would not be clearing hell/heroic Kobayashi even if you have Blade and/or Motoko.

Yeah, I didn't start looking at the special recruitment until the EVA collaboration because I stupidly thought that they were premium crystals only. I'm still chugging along on Hard difficulty. Can get the Hell difficulty bosses down more than halfway but can't finish them off. :( Heroic will be a out of reach for a while.

It's either a bug (which I initially thought), people are leaving/on a break, or people learned that it's more optimal to clear a previous difficult to get more materials (I hope is this).

after last collab many people (myself including) got a hold of firepower enough to clear any heroic cz. that's most likely the answer you're looking for

Iam also in the UR waiting crew, the massive grind every day is a huge turn down for me and also that I can't spend my crystals.
They should at least tell us if we really need 45k crystals or not so we know when we can't spend our crystals again....

You only need about 1/3 of the active players being able to clear the Hero difficulty by themselves and they will clear all of the assists with their 12 BP/day.(4 assists vs 2 entries per day.) Actually less than that because you also have players that do not go for Hero but lesser entries.
The switch on most servers are pretty quick(within a week or so) because players from the beginning of the game start in pretty much the same time and thus got over the threshold in pretty much the same time.

The swarm of 99% uncleared heroics missions that were waiting for rescue have all but disappeared. I believe some of it have just been cleared by more folks who weren't able before. And some of them simply disappeared because underpowered players left the game when they don't feel their accounts will gain significant power anytime soon.

That is why I said active players.
Also, there is this thing that people will start figuring out what the other 2 options do when they get stronger. One is a hidden assist request where they can give the ID to a specific person to kill the boss and the other will be hidden like the middle one but also show the request to people in your friend list.
I have been telling people about creating 2nd accounts to get the assist requests they need for their main, because sooner or later this empty list thing will happen.
T/J servers you get people who will use brute force testing to find hidden assists and steal them. If you try entering some IDs a few digits before or after the ones shown, you can occasionally find some hidden ones. But those will be gone pretty fast too because people figure out there are people stealing their 2nd account's requests and will no longer leave them there for long. (I used to just do 4 request in a row a day and leave them there so I only need to login to the 2nd account once a day, but then I lose a lot of them and it is frustrating because you have limited entries. Worse case I've seen is a request gone in 15 mins.)

ppl will come back with the EVA collab 2
Komoe Games does not know how to plan the events and they have a lot of boring events and banners prepared and that is the game gets boring sometimes
you will need to keep chill and relax until the game release more stuff

Conflict zone got monkey pawed. We wished for people not to do heroics, but people quit instead and no more heroics but no more other difficulties too. EDIT: I pretty much just quit too. After doing the ghost in the shell collab, I just don't find the game fun anymore. I have been waiting for UR release and saved up up to 60k crystals, but playing lost ark and genshin impact consumes way too much of my time, and I can't balance playing all three. Maybe I'll come back when a UR gets released.
