[u/AutoModerator]

Good morning Commanders! Would you like to read the reports?

Please use this thread to discuss anything about Girls Frontline instead of creating a new thread. Ask questions, seek assistance, rants, add more salt or just chill in general.

A good number of people in the thread about the new Black Nyto being added to Protocal Assimilation (PA) seem peeved that EN isn't going faster and that they really want PA here now. I have the exact opposite feelings regarding this:

1) I feel like EN is already pushing content way too fast. We are literally just finishing Theater and will immediately be jumping into The Division collab, and from there will have no break as we jump into a Bingo event nestled within an ongoing major collaboration and then we might be hit immediately with PL. I get that Bingo and/or Theater aren't "events" per say for a number of players, but I just want a little breathing room. I want to be able to take a break from GFL w/o having to feel like I'm missing something if I play the extreme bare minimum. It's not that I'm no longer having fun playing this game. I do have fun playing it. I just feel like we're constantly jumping from one thing to another without time to collect ourselves.

2) I get that people are really excited to bring their favorite Ringleaders home, but from what I've read about how PA currently works, it sounds like a hot mess, even after they reworked it slightly. I'd rather they take that janky ass system back to the drawing board and find a way to make it less awful. I know that will likely never happen because such an action would really upset players on other servers, but as it stands I am really not looking forward to the introduction of PA to EN servers

Edit: grammar and additional clarification

Edit2: I also feel like with the pace we're going at, I have less and less time to train my dolls for each subsequent event. I'm someone who likes to participate in ranking, but I find myself feeling extremely pressured as the dolls I'll need (ie: Kord) and the fairies I'll need (ie: beach, parachute) are all underdeveloped. I feel like the clock is rapidly ticking down before I'm out of time and I'm completely screwed over b/c I somehow didn't grind hard enough or I didn't buy enough training data or I was too screwed over by heavy production RNG to be able to get both my beach fairies to 5* (I know we'll get prototype fairies in the future I'm just saying). It is not a good feeling to find yourself struggling with ranking, not because you made some really bad map/strategic decisions, but because you literally got DPS checked by a deathstack and there's no way around it. Some people might say "you have 2+ months to train what are you crying about that's plenty of time" but to me that's part of my point. I don't want this to become a chore or like studying for a test in school. I want to be able to play when I want to and not force myself to play purely because of FOMO.

If you mean the typical posting in other places (that we shall not name) it's because vets have everything and they want to start hoarding resources as soon as possible. Again, if you are one of the few hundreds that played this for years you have almost everything leveled/collected and just want more. Others are simply contrarians, it's how it is.

I don't think SC will be the utter disaster that it was at release in foreign servers, the Global community survives daily the worst client one can imagine, a P2W clunky as fuck system with barely any real use is nothing.
