Totally agree with you. I'm trying to save for the next aniversery and 2 students before it. If they shorten the time and the ammount of pyros i know i will not make it
Agreed, I also want to catch up as soon as possible, but they really need to make sure that the pace of pyroxenes and other resources match the accelerated schedule as well.
I don't want to catch up at all. Unless they give a ton of extra pyros, which is unlikely, we'll be losing the daily/weekly stuff. And also, I like having the gap because it allows for better planning.
People who were around during the first year already went through this before. When they lowered the gap from 9 months to 6 months over a year we ended up with more pyros and resources than we would have had without the acceleration. It's pretty safe to assume the same will happen here.
It's not just the pyroxene but also the amount of resources have to be compensated correctly. I always feel so stress over the resources in BA. This time we have 2 fest banner so my Shiroko T is max but Hoshino is like 5/7/7/7 rn. Also, it's unfair for jp players but as an f2p player 99% of the time, I like the benefit of knowing what banner comes next to prepare.
Saori > Final Restriction Kisaki > Meta unit Reijo > Final Restriction Mari (Idol) > Meta healer Sakurako (Idol) > Must for new JP raid Seia > Meta half-cost unit Asuna (Schoolgirl) > Must for new JP raid Neru (Schoolgirl) > 6% Rio > 6% Those are the good banners to save for. It's going to be rough for f2p. You can always skip the students for Final Restriction if you don't care. Worst case scenario skipping the Final Restriction students is 156k pyro. That's counting the 100 free pulls from Saori and Seia/Asuna. And that's without counting the future new JP units... Rough 3 months if they add this right now. And of course, Satsuki would be useful for the new raid, but you could always borrow a dps like her...
Its so over for f2p pyroxenes pulling planners, but at the same time, we can get to experience new content a bit quickly. The real question is how they're gonna compensate with mats, resources and time we lost during the closing the gap transistion?
I can only assume that for the entire duration of them closing the gap, they increase all drops or energy/tickets by the same amount. So for example, if it's as simple as everythings duration getting halved, then all drops or energy (and it's cap)/tickets would be doubled. This would include daily rewards being doubled, assault score requirements for rewards being halved, crafting times being halved or having double drops, cafe relationship rewards being doubled, lesson exp being doubled, PvP delay being halved (although that one is a bit pedantic as no-one would care), PvP rewards being doubled, I think you get the point by now. But, to be honest, I doubt they will do any of that, simply because it would take a lot of effort for something they believe the global community wants anyway.
I think the Cons right now are bigger than Pros, I don't want to experience new content sooner at the cost of screwing my schedule plan, my time for farming resource and raising students in my backlog, all the time I can slowly raise the overall power of my account. So they better find a way to compensate for it.
"Next fest gonna be 6 months away, 6% let's go!!" That's me spending 470 pulls yesterday, I knew I would regret in the future but didn't expect it to be the next day... ahh aronaaa give back my stones...
Never regret. That's how you kill your own motivation. Haha. It is what it is. :D It's not like they'll implement it in one day. So we can still chill and wait comfortably.
470 pulls is crazy, were you trying for the older FES characters like Dress Hina and Swimsuit Hoshino? I did 200 pulls and only managed to get Dress Hina, then figured it's best to stop
This won't be as bad as many make it out to be, last time BA global did a catch up, it took them 1.5 year to catch up 3-4 months. They might even make it longer as they stated they want to reduce strain on the player.
No... NO THIS CANT BE WHY IS THIS HAPPENING NOW!? WTF NEXON YOU FUCKED MY PLANS I HAVE NOTHING. I WILL EITHER LOSE THE IDOLS OR THE FEST. THIS IS THE END
@hipolytusrivalta6710 it was very gradual it took a year just about. Reruns were shortened but event currency per AP was increased. Dead weeks were skipped. Just kinda happened slowly and felt fine. Some raids were easier as we had meta students earlier I recall.
I think it would be a gradual shortening, it wouldn't be an immediately 3 months, but I think the next anniversary would be 5 months, and it will take a year to shorten it up to 3 months .
if they want to reduce the gap. then events will be shortened. so here is how they should do it. because of the shortened time frame, they should give us the corresponding rewards accordingly. example 1 month rewards should be a total of 3 months rewards. then revert it to normal when we catch up
I won't have time to save for Kisaki! They should add a catch up campaign. For example, half stamina stages or double stamina gains until we catch up the 3 months gap. For raids, having double per season would make it faster, like having total assault and drill escort at the same time. They should also increase the assistant daily limit to 2 or 3.
@@Mendez100 depends on how much meta she is. I skipped C Hare and while shes not really mandatory, not having her is a pain in the ass for me. And while sure there would be reruns, that doesnt mean you will be able to pull her then since there might always be other students you need to save up for
@@Mendez100 You have to realize that Kisaki is one the most important characters to get in the coming future. Base simply on what she provides. If I did my research right. Kisaki is the only student in the game that gives a full flat 80% damage to students ex skills. She would most likely be use in every content that isnt like set I imagine. She has cost regeneration and a shield. So yeah. She may not be limited. But she is probably one of if not the strongest enabler/hyperbuffers in the game.
As long as we get the same or more pyroxenes and materials I'm fine with it. It will also preserve the hype from jp, I'm both a global and jp player what I see is the hype for new students/story always die down when it comes to global (except vol f I guess) and like we have Kuroko & BHoshino but people are talking more about Seia & Rio.
I AM f2p, but honestly I want them to literally catch up with JP. This second hand Hype is killing the server. For example currently we have fes banner, Hoshino and Shiroko, also new event for Global. But most of us talking about Seia and Rio... The hype for Hoshino(Armed) and Kuroko is pretty low when they arrived.
@@joefebri3236say that again after ur saving plans for kisaki gets ruined by acceleration. "I already have pulls saved up for her" is what you're gonna say right? Good for u then lmao
@lain5782 nah I wouldn't, I did 2 spark on current banner and only get 1 of them. I'm not even exited for current banner. I still have 30k pyrox btw, I'm tired of saving.
after all the gap between 3.5 and 4th anniversary is mostly dead moments so this can be a good time to accel, however this comes a huge risk of losing players if not handled correctly. I mean even during that gap JP players reduced. Game is now hard to progress as new players and even in middle levels, so a triple, or even quadruple increase in every rewards and progressing are critical here.
Mainly Global Wise, then if those who go broke during this banner cannot able to get the next fest banner in 3 months. unless whale pyroxens. tho that's the long term for people who are not active daily. which is why, for me 6 months is great because to saving up for pyroxenes. 3 months is better because for more earlier content for sure, only if they grind the game daily which i myself am currently. so i hope Blue Archive can do something to compensate it in a way Fellow Sensei's Cannot be burdened in a way, i say they need to triple up the rewards in a way which is equal to 6 months worth of pyroxenes savings ( January to July Basically ) so if that's the case, Seia banner is gonna come sometime in April, but before there will be other banners too. for me regarding the months rotation shortning, well it's fine in a way because let's not forget the main story ofc. as we can also get pyroxenes from there and if am correct will be enough for atleast 6 months worth of pyroxenes to compensate for it. honestly if u ask me between 6 months rotation to 3 months rotation's pro's an con's mentioned above and personally how i feel about it. it's a tough call but will see in the upcoming months to see the effects. Keep it going sensei's
Update: I have checked the calculations as of typing this, based on where the banner comes it might or atleast barely we can get 24K Pyroxens but on the month of when the banner is supposed to come out, can make up as close as nearly 30K Pyroxens or more depending on the other game modes and earnings you get from events
It wouldnt be immediately 3months behind, as it would be a gradual catch up. I would be really surprised if seia releases in 3months from now, which would be late Apr 2025.
I'm a lvl 81 and i don't have enough resources and gears(t7) to upgrade my meta students, also i blow up my pyroxenes to Armed Hoshino, Mika, and shiroko terror.
Same lvl here bro, also a f2p sensei. Still managed to saved up 61k pyros but im planning to get 2 or more students, including Kisaki, before the next anniversary fest. I feel im cooked
For a guy like me that plays FGO, which has a 2 year gap between NA and JP, I hate it. I like know what is coming and having ample time to prepare and save and see how characters turn out as new content comes out. I fear that rushing stuff out will cause for more translation errors, maybe more bugs and glitches too.
Dunno, I did hate the gap on FGO because it was really too long. I was much more okay with BA's 6 months but I won't complain about 3. At the end of the day it doesn't change the fact that you still have to economize pyros for your favorite characters and the anniversary, and BA is really generous on rerunning old banners so it's not like you'll be missing out.
I hope BA staff realise the requirements of speeding up our timeline to keep it fair and balanced. Over a 3 month period of everything having halved duration everything needs to be adjusted perfectly or we'll miss out on a lot of mats. For a nice list we have; Double daily and weekly rewards, double drops from lessons or double lesson tickets, double cafe relationship rewards and double cafe production and storage cap, double shop refresh speed, double assault score or halve score requirements, double base ap production and cap, notify the community of events twice as early, double pvp rewards and halve the pvp cool down, double the amount of ap refreshes per cost or ap per refresh, and probably a bit more. It's so much that they would have to manage and make sure the community is fully aware of, otherwise most f2p and a large amount of low to mid spenders will go broke and simply won't be able to recover for a very long time because of the shear amount of missed banners and mats. If you somehow couldn't tell, I personally am strongly against the schedule being changed. If the devs get this wrong then they will make so many players mad and maybe quit. And if that does happen it wouldn't be possible for them to fix it, as they would somehow have to hand out exactly what each individual player would have grinded for for 3 whole months.
If they're doing this, they should be double or triple the rewards from events/dailies/weeklies regarding how many patches are being merged into one, like what PGR is currently doing when Kuro wanted to synchronize the progress of CN and Global version, or else this game will be doomed. But if the compensation is good enough to ease F2P and low-spender (like what PGR is currently doing again, with F2P but not with low-spender, player have to buy 3x monthly pass 😂), this game will be in better state, because of everyone will be hyped of new banner and no management planning game, like, it's Kuroko and AHoshino banner but everyone is talking about Rio and Seia 😢
3 months is still decent time to plan imo, and I prefer the sorther gap cause I feel like in global we can't get hyped because we get spoiled all the events and content that is coming before hand, is not fun to wait that long for something you already now.
I really hope they're not actually going to close the gap like this. Right now, assuming you do your dailies and weeklies everyday, you'll get 1080 pyroxenes (assuming 4 weeks/30 days.) A maintenance rewards around 200-400~ pyroxenes depending on the time it took and how *massive* it is. Total assault would give 1000 pyroxenes (I know you're staying in gold.) And Grand assault would have its ticket last for around a month or two. An event would usually give 600 pyroxenes as a purchasable item in the event shop, and counting from event stories (assuming there's 10 episodes) challenges, the quests, and missions for completing those, it's roughly around 1080 pyroxenes (some events could feature more, but every events should give 1000 pyroxenes.) With those in mind, three months would most likely reduce the amount you're getting as you're most likely missing out on 7000-ish pyroxenes. Now, events aren't gonna be much of a problem as most likely the only thing that're gonna be changed is the duration and not the overall rewards, but the amount of pyroxenes from dailies, weeklies, and TA is most certainly affected. While yes, GA tickets could possibly be used for more important banners as they tend to last a month or so, but it still wouldn't be enough. It doesn't matter if you have enough pyroxenes for those banners today. Sooner or later, it will creep up to you as you soon find yourself wrapped in more limited students that're most likely impossible to miss out on, and you won't have enough pyroxenes to even do 100 draws on them.
If they're doing this, they should be double or triple the rewards from events/dailies/weeklies regarding how many patches are being merged into one, like what PGR is currently doing when Kuro wanted to synchronize the progress of CN and Global version, or else this game will be doomed.
I *optimistically* trust them to compensate us properly. I'm sure it wont be perfect, but this is some temporary pain for long term improvement of the game. While I think having a road map is great, for me the less of a gap is a better trade off. You can't avoid spoilers for story content in todays media climate, and seasonally themed events always felt awkward and less appealing with a huge gap. If they were to eventually get them totally synchronized (which is probably the long term plan) it would boost my enjoyment as a story enthusiast more than it would hurt me as a meta player. Yes the game would be less f2p friendly as you cant just look in the crystal ball to see who is meta or not with absolute certainty, but with final restriction emerging as a whale focused mode, and more and more students being tuned to this mode, it seems less and less relevant to get students that are not obviously strong like fest banner units to compete in raid ranking.
I personally think 6 months ahead is better, because the pyroxene income is really slow and we might have some troubles preparing for the upcoming boss raids,6 months ahead help us get more pyroxenes for the upcoming banners and give us some time to preparing.My personally opinion.
The gap seems fine to plan more ahead and save more pyroxine saving for 3 months for each planned pull is kind of hard to get a better plan ahead which one to pull
If you only go for the students for collection it is good, for those who go end game you will have to prioritize the students for future raids you will have to dedicate your resources well and take the opportunity to farm well for them.
I can say it’s a good thing for these who want to try new content, but clearly the F2P going to have short time to plan and little to collect, yet you still can see whats up for JP version 3 months ahead, kinda nice, i wonder if nexon will try to shorten the schedule until there is no gap but i like if it stays for 3 months gap for a while so many players wont be suprised for the suddan banners they have not prepared for :>
I was recently thinking "man it would be so good to have a short gap around 3 months instead of 6" and they just do it 😂 But I must be honest I feel kinda bothered when they announce something without especifying a beginning date, like when we'll have those shortened events?
I like it to be the same time on every server; part of the fun for me is figuring out if a girl is good or not (in any game). When there's a gap, yeah, sure, you know what's meta and what isn't, but the whole planning ahead thing sometimes sucks because you go through many banners without doing anything - and these are gachas; part of their fun is pulling! If I like the design (which to me is the most important thing), I tend to pull; and if the girl is meta, all the better. Also means that we get to catch up on story and events faster, which is also part of the fun (even though I don't really pay attention to the story in gachas that much unless I really enjoy the game; I think it's counter-intuitive when you have energy systems in place that basically forces the player to go into the mindset of wanting to dump it as fast as possible to push as high as they can (to maximize rewards). Yet, they expect you to take your sweet time reading the story? LOL) My one caveat is that it should give us enough rewards to prepare for the gap shortening. Take GFL2, it's a whole year behind and we have NO idea what's happening with banners; FGO is another example where it runs with a long time gap between JP and Global...
Question: Regarding the recruitment that until 1/30 of this month, you can see the rate info section which is the pull, are those list of students gonna be available even on the next month events pulls ? Or maybe some of the students skins in the pull are going to be missing Because still i don't know the limited skins list same as those 3 until 1/30
You mean the sheet with all the possible students that you can get and their rates? If so, everyone will still be available on every banner, but the fes. students. (Wakamo, Hoshino sw., Mika, Hanako sw., Hina Dress, Hoshino Armed and Shiroko Terror) Or do you mean something else?
Yeah, those students won't be available after the current banner ends. The fes. students are exclusive for fes banners, with a slighty rate increase. They'll return on the next one (5-6 months later or less if they change the schedule) with the Neru, Rio and Hanako Swimsuit banners. They'll be available again, so they could spook you there.
@RustikFGO thanks a lot for the info . Regarding (Wakamo, Hoshino sw., Mika, Hanako sw., Hina Dress, Hoshino Armed, and Shiroko Terror) .. these students i have just collected them Do you know more others that are limited, like you mentioned?
None in the current banners at least. They never are in random banners either way, only the fes one are "Hidden" for spooks. You can check the next banners in the wiki, the next important one are the Idols students. But you should get Kisaki first, even tho she's not limited.
My Samsung A12 got fucked with the new update. Want to do raid? Crash. Want to do a sweap? Crash. It's not funny anymore man, before the update I can play like anyone else. Now I need to re-login every goddamn stage I try to do.
I Require 30m Cash, Septuple Drop Rates on Bounties, Commissions, Missions And Hard Missions, And Finally 2 Sparks As Compensation for the Missing Months
Regardless of what you may think about the good intentions of the company (getting more content earlier, etc.), people will inevitably be forced/convinced to whale for pyrox and use the shop more. It will definetly affect F2P players.
As you said - i have mixed feelinngs about it... On one hand: i'm really REALLY happy! Reason is, when BA announces a student that i really like and then realise that i have to wait 6 whole months - every day feels like a torture. On the other hand: I also liked knowing what to expect and how to manage my pyroxenes. If i know that Seia is in 6 months, then i can allow myself to gamble right now, and earn it all back before her banner comes. Now, what if right after my pockets are empty BA announces Haruka in her cool agent suit?! I will not recover! (Financialy - if i pull, and mentaly - if i don't) But i still lean into "I like it! ❤" more
idk... I'd say when the banner of students i really like get released and i don't have enough resources to even pulling is more torturous than anything else.
It's so over for low spenders like me... I just hope they at least give the right amount of pyroxene to compensate the accelerated schedule, but still, It was better have the chance to plan the pulls in a long term. Anyways, rip F2P and low spenders.
It's pretty much okay overall. Hype for certain new units or favorite units doesn't die down immediately since it's now just 3mos. I trust them with the resources being the same still, since they have pretty said it last year this is one of their goals. It's just normal for some players to panic, I guess. Especially with how vague they are for now in terms of how they'll distribute resources without making players grab their pitchforks.
They wanna make more money from Global server. By making the gap shorter, you can't plan longer for your pulls. Like planning to roll for Kisaki and Seia in 3-6 months will be harder.
PGR is in the process of doing server synchronization too. I think Kuro is doing a good job to compress those patches and provide proper reward multiplication for F2P players. Although it has been a horrendous experience for the paid players because they didn't get any discount for the paid packs.
They already said that they are ajusting the rewards, at the end the only difference is that there will be less time for planning and player will need to be smarter with their resources. but the amount of banner you will be able to pull for will remain the same. I'm honestly exited considering that 6 months is a huge gap, and after 6 months new content tends to get stale
i dont like gaps, we all know that we need to save for the fest banner, no matter if the character is what you like or not, its 6%!!! its HUGE, also 6 month is a lot of time for me, i get bored of waiting in 6 month
I can say personally I’m not happy and really do not like this change at all and I hope they take it back if enough people express their disapproval of it
I think having a shortened gap is better to preserve the hype for character releases for those who look ahead. In terms of spoilers most of it happens immediately so a 6 month to a 3 month period wouldn't really save people from spoilers. It would also probably be best to never catch global up to JP completely because western gacha players usually spend less on gacha so having a window to look ahead and save is ideal for most players.
Ngl this is fine if the 14 days banner get reduced to 10 or 7 days and the 10 day banner to 5 days its farmmable the event i mean if u focused on mats from event pyrox farming if u maxed 90 its doable any raid is easy to extreme mebbe insane story pyrox can be enjoyed separately i mean i managed to farm more than 50k alone after dress hina by keep grinding and login everyday Its viable cause so many free airdrops from devs too
You're definitely getting Kisaki. As for the rest, it depends on the dates of the banners if it's 3 months shorter. It might be rough for the Idols students, but you should be able to get the rest if you get lucky on one of them.
If the timeframe for this easing is one year, then the lost pyroxene adds up to a 7179 loss from the monthly packs and 5400 from the lost dailies/weeklies/pvp days. I'm assuming they'll speed up PvP seasons as well to compensate, otherwise there will be more loss from there. The same thing applies to grand assault and total assault, which adds up to another, 9600 pyroxene over the year. Let's say 30K is lost, I doubt it's any higher than that, and that's high balling it. They got six months worth of events, so they could pick and choose future events to squeeze into the current plan, packing the schedule and removing dead weeks. The resulting extra pyroxenes we would get from those events would cover most of the lost pyroxene, but they would also need to squeeze more banners in there. Speeding up the PvP season would cover the rest. Then the only remaining things to do is to add 3x events every other month for the entirety of the year to cover the loss in materials, and compensating the 127880 AP we'd be losing out on over 3 months. That's 350 extra AP a day, which could be done by reducing the cost of event missions from 20/15/10 down to 15/12/9 for the next nine months while keeping the rewards the same. The only problem is that all these solutions will feel awful once the year is up, so I doubt they'll do it. The panic mode is just to bring out your credit card and swipe for Kisaki or skip her and pray you spook during the summer fest, or cope and pray you get her in the winter fest/ selector ticket.. Most F2P won't be able to pull for all the students who are important in the future meta anyway so it changes nothing.
Giving us 3 months estimate save of pyroxene it gonna be fine then they can reduce 6 months gap into 3 months. I think that's gonna be fair for everybody.
I don't mind the shorten gap, just that the amount of pyroxenes and resources given should not be reduce IF that happened.
Totally agree with you. I'm trying to save for the next aniversery and 2 students before it. If they shorten the time and the ammount of pyros i know i will not make it
Agreed, I also want to catch up as soon as possible, but they really need to make sure that the pace of pyroxenes and other resources match the accelerated schedule as well.
I don't want to catch up at all. Unless they give a ton of extra pyros, which is unlikely, we'll be losing the daily/weekly stuff.
And also, I like having the gap because it allows for better planning.
I prefer the longer gap of 6 months... more time to save gems and planning, who to get
People who were around during the first year already went through this before. When they lowered the gap from 9 months to 6 months over a year we ended up with more pyros and resources than we would have had without the acceleration. It's pretty safe to assume the same will happen here.
Nexon saw the money roll in from the Seia and Rio banners and wanted that cash flow on global as soon as possible.
either its the magic of armpits or feet from their l2ds... or smth idk
@@sunaookami_shiwakopeople already hyping for them far before they showcased Seia's armpit and Rio's feet.
Bro speaking fact literally
Global players are actually starting to fade away, people seek new content so I think that's why they decide to do this.
Like Shiroko terror and Hoshino aren't big banners already?
It's not just the pyroxene but also the amount of resources have to be compensated correctly. I always feel so stress over the resources in BA. This time we have 2 fest banner so my Shiroko T is max but Hoshino is like 5/7/7/7 rn.
Also, it's unfair for jp players but as an f2p player 99% of the time, I like the benefit of knowing what banner comes next to prepare.
yess
so... SOUND THE ALARMS!
Saori > Final Restriction
Kisaki > Meta unit
Reijo > Final Restriction
Mari (Idol) > Meta healer
Sakurako (Idol) > Must for new JP raid
Seia > Meta half-cost unit
Asuna (Schoolgirl) > Must for new JP raid
Neru (Schoolgirl) > 6%
Rio > 6%
Those are the good banners to save for. It's going to be rough for f2p.
You can always skip the students for Final Restriction if you don't care.
Worst case scenario skipping the Final Restriction students is 156k pyro. That's counting the 100 free pulls from Saori and Seia/Asuna.
And that's without counting the future new JP units... Rough 3 months if they add this right now.
And of course, Satsuki would be useful for the new raid, but you could always borrow a dps like her...

So they better find a way to compensate for it.
I'm on the safe side, I still have 50k after pulling for hoshino(battle) and shiroko terror
What is a F2p?
Gray raven increased the rewards for rolls to match the increased rate so hopefully theyll do the same
"Next fest gonna be 6 months away, 6% let's go!!"
That's me spending 470 pulls yesterday, I knew I would regret in the future but didn't expect it to be the next day... ahh aronaaa give back my stones...
Next fest will be likely 5 months away, the transition from 6 to 3 month gap is gonna be pretty gradual so youll have time to save
that was me, but with 600 pulls. Lol, thanks John Nexon. Back to depresso it is.
Never regret. That's how you kill your own motivation. Haha.
It is what it is. :D It's not like they'll implement it in one day. So we can still chill and wait comfortably.
470 pulls is crazy, were you trying for the older FES characters like Dress Hina and Swimsuit Hoshino? I did 200 pulls and only managed to get Dress Hina, then figured it's best to stop
Now i kinda regret spend 600 pulls after this news, only have 110 pulls left noooo (for guranted spark saori swimsuit)
How ironic. The price of freeing Seia was our gift of foresight.
Imagine Jp 5th anniversary would become global’s 4.75 anniversary lol
Bruh moment of BA💀.
F2p players are gonna have a much harder time now, including me ( i spent all of my pyros 💀)
YOU UNDERSTAND MEEE
I-I...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Will they accelerate kisaki banner as well? I hope not lmao
It's either skill issue or gotta grind harder 🫡
I feel your pain 😭😭
I agree......guess time to ask Wallet-Kun for help
Well yeah, as a Sensei and an adult, we should use our ultimate weapon like canon Sensei's role. Time to use The Credit Card.
This won't be as bad as many make it out to be, last time BA global did a catch up, it took them 1.5 year to catch up 3-4 months. They might even make it longer as they stated they want to reduce strain on the player.
No...
NO
THIS CANT BE
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING NOW!?

I don't like the speeding up the gap , I don't even have enough resources to gear up lv90 students 💀
People forget we used to be 9 months behind JP. They managed the initial 3 month shortening quite well, I expect they will do it again.
Do you remember how they did it? I'm kinda curious
@hipolytusrivalta6710 it was very gradual it took a year just about. Reruns were shortened but event currency per AP was increased. Dead weeks were skipped. Just kinda happened slowly and felt fine. Some raids were easier as we had meta students earlier I recall.
I’ve heard the opposite actually and they cut banners pretty roughly and not everyone was on board with it
@@vesaryne3965 really? I don't.
I think it would be a gradual shortening, it wouldn't be an immediately 3 months, but I think the next anniversary would be 5 months, and it will take a year to shorten it up to 3 months .
if they want to reduce the gap. then events will be shortened. so here is how they should do it. because of the shortened time frame, they should give us the corresponding rewards accordingly.
example 1 month rewards should be a total of 3 months rewards. then revert it to normal when we catch up
basically if you gain 30 pyrox in arena a day. multiply it by 3 so we wont get compromised with our dailies etc.
Or just straight up double or triple event stage drops 🫃🏻
I like the long gap, it gives us more time to plan and adjust.
And even calculating the average saving rate for the pyroxenes as well
I won't have time to save for Kisaki!
They should add a catch up campaign. For example, half stamina stages or double stamina gains until we catch up the 3 months gap. For raids, having double per season would make it faster, like having total assault and drill escort at the same time. They should also increase the assistant daily limit to 2 or 3.
Kisaki is not a limited banner though so chill out. These banners reruned often unlike the limited banners.
@@Mendez100 depends on how much meta she is. I skipped C Hare and while shes not really mandatory, not having her is a pain in the ass for me. And while sure there would be reruns, that doesnt mean you will be able to pull her then since there might always be other students you need to save up for
@@Mendez100 You have to realize that Kisaki is one the most important characters to get in the coming future. Base simply on what she provides. If I did my research right. Kisaki is the only student in the game that gives a full flat 80% damage to students ex skills. She would most likely be use in every content that isnt like set I imagine. She has cost regeneration and a shield. So yeah. She may not be limited. But she is probably one of if not the strongest enabler/hyperbuffers in the game.
@@purisusuteyuui3866 there will be check jp updates.
@@Mendez100 Chill out on the unit u gonna use for basically every raid and challenge map moving foward? lmao
As long as we get the same or more pyroxenes and materials I'm fine with it. It will also preserve the hype from jp, I'm both a global and jp player what I see is the hype for new students/story always die down when it comes to global (except vol f I guess) and like we have Kuroko & BHoshino but people are talking more about Seia & Rio.
3 months is kind of bad for F2P/low spenders, hopefully they give out enough resources to compensate for lost time
Kind of bad!?
Hahhahahaha
This is my doom
@@MauricioLSB Wrong. Absolute effing armageddon
I AM f2p, but honestly I want them to literally catch up with JP.
This second hand Hype is killing the server.
For example currently we have fes banner, Hoshino and Shiroko, also new event for Global.
But most of us talking about Seia and Rio...
The hype for Hoshino(Armed) and Kuroko is pretty low when they arrived.
@@joefebri3236say that again after ur saving plans for kisaki gets ruined by acceleration. "I already have pulls saved up for her" is what you're gonna say right? Good for u then lmao
@lain5782 nah I wouldn't,
I did 2 spark on current banner and only get 1 of them.
I'm not even exited for current banner.
I still have 30k pyrox btw, I'm tired of saving.
after all the gap between 3.5 and 4th anniversary is mostly dead moments so this can be a good time to accel, however this comes a huge risk of losing players if not handled correctly. I mean even during that gap JP players reduced.
Game is now hard to progress as new players and even in middle levels, so a triple, or even quadruple increase in every rewards and progressing are critical here.
9 pyroxenes and a dream
Honestly the main thing I'm mostly worried is if they have a good TL team now to keep up with this plan.
Mainly Global Wise, then if those who go broke during this banner cannot able to get the next fest banner in 3 months. unless whale pyroxens. tho that's the long term for people who are not active daily. which is why, for me 6 months is great because to saving up for pyroxenes. 3 months is better because for more earlier content for sure, only if they grind the game daily which i myself am currently. so i hope Blue Archive can do something to compensate it in a way Fellow Sensei's Cannot be burdened in a way, i say they need to triple up the rewards in a way which is equal to 6 months worth of pyroxenes savings ( January to July Basically ) so if that's the case, Seia banner is gonna come sometime in April, but before there will be other banners too. for me regarding the months rotation shortning, well it's fine in a way because let's not forget the main story ofc. as we can also get pyroxenes from there and if am correct will be enough for atleast 6 months worth of pyroxenes to compensate for it. honestly if u ask me between 6 months rotation to 3 months rotation's pro's an con's mentioned above and personally how i feel about it. it's a tough call but will see in the upcoming months to see the effects. Keep it going sensei's
Update: I have checked the calculations as of typing this, based on where the banner comes it might or atleast barely we can get 24K Pyroxens but on the month of when the banner is supposed to come out, can make up as close as nearly 30K Pyroxens or more depending on the other game modes and earnings you get from events
It wouldnt be immediately 3months behind, as it would be a gradual catch up. I would be really surprised if seia releases in 3months from now, which would be late Apr 2025.
I never thought it would in my 2025's bingo card .
F2P sensei's we are cooked.
I'm a lvl 81 and i don't have enough resources and gears(t7) to upgrade my meta students, also i blow up my pyroxenes to Armed Hoshino, Mika, and shiroko terror.
I forgot to mention I'm a F2P.
Same lvl here bro, also a f2p sensei. Still managed to saved up 61k pyros but im planning to get 2 or more students, including Kisaki, before the next anniversary fest. I feel im cooked
Just hope because of the gap shortening they won't cancell track Yuuka pulls cause i need to have her :D
For a guy like me that plays FGO, which has a 2 year gap between NA and JP, I hate it.
I like know what is coming and having ample time to prepare and save and see how characters turn out as new content comes out.
I fear that rushing stuff out will cause for more translation errors, maybe more bugs and glitches too.
Dunno, I did hate the gap on FGO because it was really too long. I was much more okay with BA's 6 months but I won't complain about 3. At the end of the day it doesn't change the fact that you still have to economize pyros for your favorite characters and the anniversary, and BA is really generous on rerunning old banners so it's not like you'll be missing out.
I hope BA staff realise the requirements of speeding up our timeline to keep it fair and balanced.
Over a 3 month period of everything having halved duration everything needs to be adjusted perfectly or we'll miss out on a lot of mats.
For a nice list we have;
Double daily and weekly rewards, double drops from lessons or double lesson tickets, double cafe relationship rewards and double cafe production and storage cap, double shop refresh speed, double assault score or halve score requirements, double base ap production and cap, notify the community of events twice as early, double pvp rewards and halve the pvp cool down, double the amount of ap refreshes per cost or ap per refresh, and probably a bit more.
It's so much that they would have to manage and make sure the community is fully aware of, otherwise most f2p and a large amount of low to mid spenders will go broke and simply won't be able to recover for a very long time because of the shear amount of missed banners and mats.
If you somehow couldn't tell, I personally am strongly against the schedule being changed. If the devs get this wrong then they will make so many players mad and maybe quit. And if that does happen it wouldn't be possible for them to fix it, as they would somehow have to hand out exactly what each individual player would have grinded for for 3 whole months.
If they're doing this, they should be double or triple the rewards from events/dailies/weeklies regarding how many patches are being merged into one, like what PGR is currently doing when Kuro wanted to synchronize the progress of CN and Global version, or else this game will be doomed.
But if the compensation is good enough to ease F2P and low-spender (like what PGR is currently doing again, with F2P but not with low-spender, player have to buy 3x monthly pass 😂), this game will be in better state, because of everyone will be hyped of new banner and no management planning game, like, it's Kuroko and AHoshino banner but everyone is talking about Rio and Seia 😢
Bro thats fucked up i love preparing my pyroxines the 6 months gap is really god like
3 months is still decent time to plan imo, and I prefer the sorther gap cause I feel like in global we can't get hyped because we get spoiled all the events and content that is coming before hand, is not fun to wait that long for something you already now.
I really hope they're not actually going to close the gap like this.
Right now, assuming you do your dailies and weeklies everyday, you'll get 1080 pyroxenes (assuming 4 weeks/30 days.) A maintenance rewards around 200-400~ pyroxenes depending on the time it took and how *massive* it is.
Total assault would give 1000 pyroxenes (I know you're staying in gold.) And Grand assault would have its ticket last for around a month or two.
An event would usually give 600 pyroxenes as a purchasable item in the event shop, and counting from event stories (assuming there's 10 episodes) challenges, the quests, and missions for completing those, it's roughly around 1080 pyroxenes (some events could feature more, but every events should give 1000 pyroxenes.)
With those in mind, three months would most likely reduce the amount you're getting as you're most likely missing out on 7000-ish pyroxenes.
Now, events aren't gonna be much of a problem as most likely the only thing that're gonna be changed is the duration and not the overall rewards, but the amount of pyroxenes from dailies, weeklies, and TA is most certainly affected.
While yes, GA tickets could possibly be used for more important banners as they tend to last a month or so, but it still wouldn't be enough.
It doesn't matter if you have enough pyroxenes for those banners today. Sooner or later, it will creep up to you as you soon find yourself wrapped in more limited students that're most likely impossible to miss out on, and you won't have enough pyroxenes to even do 100 draws on them.
Soooo
I am in fact the doomed man
If they're doing this, they should be double or triple the rewards from events/dailies/weeklies regarding how many patches are being merged into one, like what PGR is currently doing when Kuro wanted to synchronize the progress of CN and Global version, or else this game will be doomed.
I *optimistically* trust them to compensate us properly. I'm sure it wont be perfect, but this is some temporary pain for long term improvement of the game. While I think having a road map is great, for me the less of a gap is a better trade off. You can't avoid spoilers for story content in todays media climate, and seasonally themed events always felt awkward and less appealing with a huge gap. If they were to eventually get them totally synchronized (which is probably the long term plan) it would boost my enjoyment as a story enthusiast more than it would hurt me as a meta player. Yes the game would be less f2p friendly as you cant just look in the crystal ball to see who is meta or not with absolute certainty, but with final restriction emerging as a whale focused mode, and more and more students being tuned to this mode, it seems less and less relevant to get students that are not obviously strong like fest banner units to compete in raid ranking.
Damn, this year is the year where games catch up to their later servers counterpart.
First is PGR, then is Blue Archive.
No no no, I want to know about future banners, so I know when I can save and roll for my FOMOs
I personally think 6 months ahead is better, because the pyroxene income is really slow and we might have some troubles preparing for the upcoming boss raids,6 months ahead help us get more pyroxenes for the upcoming banners and give us some time to preparing.My personally opinion.
Give us some time to prepare*
Who the hell wanted to reduce the gap...
Korean Whalers
Probably after seeing every Fest announcement on JP
I just hope Yostar Account can be used in Global as well even though Yostar didn't Publish Global Version
On one hand, we global guys would get even more updated to the game
On the other, f2p bros had lesser time to grind for pyros
true but I'm f2p and I still prefer 3 months over six, 3 is still decent time to plan, many other gachas don't even have that benefit
@@chipi4179 The average pyro spash is almost every limited banner anyways, so that's like 6-8 times a year to stay updated.
They had enough with the summer event in winter meme. Now we got summer during Halloween
probably some standard student banner to catch up. I just hope they don't cut limit banner😭😭😭
The gap seems fine to plan more ahead and save more pyroxine
saving for 3 months for each planned pull is kind of hard to get a better plan ahead which one to pull
If you only go for the students for collection it is good, for those who go end game you will have to prioritize the students for future raids you will have to dedicate your resources well and take the opportunity to farm well for them.
I can say it’s a good thing for these who want to try new content, but clearly the F2P going to have short time to plan and little to collect, yet you still can see whats up for JP version 3 months ahead, kinda nice, i wonder if nexon will try to shorten the schedule until there is no gap but i like if it stays for 3 months gap for a while so many players wont be suprised for the suddan banners they have not prepared for :>
This is interesting news and slowly merging jp with global can be both a good thing and bad.
I was recently thinking "man it would be so good to have a short gap around 3 months instead of 6" and they just do it 😂
But I must be honest I feel kinda bothered when they announce something without especifying a beginning date, like when we'll have those shortened events?
I like it to be the same time on every server; part of the fun for me is figuring out if a girl is good or not (in any game). When there's a gap, yeah, sure, you know what's meta and what isn't, but the whole planning ahead thing sometimes sucks because you go through many banners without doing anything - and these are gachas; part of their fun is pulling! If I like the design (which to me is the most important thing), I tend to pull; and if the girl is meta, all the better.
Also means that we get to catch up on story and events faster, which is also part of the fun (even though I don't really pay attention to the story in gachas that much unless I really enjoy the game; I think it's counter-intuitive when you have energy systems in place that basically forces the player to go into the mindset of wanting to dump it as fast as possible to push as high as they can (to maximize rewards). Yet, they expect you to take your sweet time reading the story? LOL)
My one caveat is that it should give us enough rewards to prepare for the gap shortening.
Take GFL2, it's a whole year behind and we have NO idea what's happening with banners; FGO is another example where it runs with a long time gap between JP and Global...
I'm guessing they'll be removing the non event rerun banners so they can reach their 3 months goal
They kinda ass tbh lol
I'm fine with shorter gap, as long as I'm compensated and they're also doing it gradually
Please...as long it wont affect the t.yuuka banner...i need her badly
So Seia becomes playable and global players lose some of their prophetic powers…
Still don't know how buy Pyroxenes in my Server
Question: Regarding the recruitment that until 1/30 of this month, you can see the rate info section which is the pull, are those list of students gonna be available even on the next month events pulls ?
Or maybe some of the students skins in the pull are going to be missing
Because still i don't know the limited skins list same as those 3 until 1/30
You mean the sheet with all the possible students that you can get and their rates?
If so, everyone will still be available on every banner, but the fes. students. (Wakamo, Hoshino sw., Mika, Hanako sw., Hina Dress, Hoshino Armed and Shiroko Terror)
Or do you mean something else?
@RustikFGO as you said, the students like hina dress
Will she be in the next month event pull ?
Because what i think they are not going to be added
Yeah, those students won't be available after the current banner ends. The fes. students are exclusive for fes banners, with a slighty rate increase.
They'll return on the next one (5-6 months later or less if they change the schedule) with the Neru, Rio and Hanako Swimsuit banners. They'll be available again, so they could spook you there.
@RustikFGO thanks a lot for the info . Regarding
(Wakamo, Hoshino sw., Mika, Hanako sw., Hina Dress, Hoshino Armed, and Shiroko Terror) .. these students i have just collected them
Do you know more others that are limited, like you mentioned?
None in the current banners at least.
They never are in random banners either way, only the fes one are "Hidden" for spooks.
You can check the next banners in the wiki, the next important one are the Idols students.
But you should get Kisaki first, even tho she's not limited.
so are they gonna do triple drop like pgr?
My Samsung A12 got fucked with the new update. Want to do raid? Crash. Want to do a sweap? Crash. It's not funny anymore man, before the update I can play like anyone else. Now I need to re-login every goddamn stage I try to do.
Try an emulator?
@@LoliconSamalik Already tried, but my PC can't handle an Emulator.
pulled 2 terror shiroko a few mins ago literally was playing all day & got 143 pulls im trying to go for armored hoshino before the banner goes away
I Require 30m Cash, Septuple Drop Rates on Bounties, Commissions, Missions And Hard Missions, And Finally 2 Sparks As Compensation for the Missing Months
Tch, my 31k pyroxenes aint helping
I see Professor Smug in the thumbnail and I click 😂
I hope they make easy and accessable to farm gold and purple resources
Well I don't mind as long the pyro we get is not effected
They wont be compensating, they will only give a few resources (as in a normal event) and call it a day.
We're screwed
Apparently they compensated when the game went from 9 months to 6 months. So it's possible they might do the same this coming year.
Regardless of what you may think about the good intentions of the company (getting more content earlier, etc.), people will inevitably be forced/convinced to whale for pyrox and use the shop more. It will definetly affect F2P players.
As you said - i have mixed feelinngs about it...
On one hand: i'm really REALLY happy! Reason is, when BA announces a student that i really like and then realise that i have to wait 6 whole months - every day feels like a torture.
On the other hand: I also liked knowing what to expect and how to manage my pyroxenes. If i know that Seia is in 6 months, then i can allow myself to gamble right now, and earn it all back before her banner comes. Now, what if right after my pockets are empty BA announces Haruka in her cool agent suit?! I will not recover! (Financialy - if i pull, and mentaly - if i don't)
But i still lean into "I like it! ❤" more
idk... I'd say when the banner of students i really like get released and i don't have enough resources to even pulling is more torturous than anything else.
It's so over for low spenders like me... I just hope they at least give the right amount of pyroxene to compensate the accelerated schedule, but still, It was better have the chance to plan the pulls in a long term. Anyways, rip F2P and low spenders.
It's pretty much okay overall. Hype for certain new units or favorite units doesn't die down immediately since it's now just 3mos. I trust them with the resources being the same still, since they have pretty said it last year this is one of their goals. It's just normal for some players to panic, I guess. Especially with how vague they are for now in terms of how they'll distribute resources without making players grab their pitchforks.
5:32 mint chocolate flavour ramen...
Bruh I prefer 6 months to 3 months because I will have more time to save up things and make plans properly for the future
Even if it takes longer, the wait is worth it and rewarding
I need 6 months, if it's only 3 months I'll be forced to only be able to pull at the fest banner
They wanna make more money from Global server.
By making the gap shorter, you can't plan longer for your pulls.
Like planning to roll for Kisaki and Seia in 3-6 months will be harder.
My calculation plan for Kisaki, the Idol Mari, Swimsuit Hina and the Fest Banner would be a torture with this new gap
Well then it's time to farming story, mission, etc.
I hate when gacha games doing that. It's such an advantage to know what characters will be released within next 6 months.
PGR is in the process of doing server synchronization too. I think Kuro is doing a good job to compress those patches and provide proper reward multiplication for F2P players.
Although it has been a horrendous experience for the paid players because they didn't get any discount for the paid packs.
The only way they're going to shorten the gap, is to release back-to back banners or even 3 banners at the same time. RIP F2P.
They already said that they are ajusting the rewards, at the end the only difference is that there will be less time for planning and player will need to be smarter with their resources. but the amount of banner you will be able to pull for will remain the same.
I'm honestly exited considering that 6 months is a huge gap, and after 6 months new content tends to get stale
Welp, even BA is doing the pgr merge too.
i dont like gaps, we all know that we need to save for the fest banner, no matter if the character is what you like or not, its 6%!!! its HUGE, also 6 month is a lot of time for me, i get bored of waiting in 6 month
Atleast give us double pyrox or something if you're gonna shorten stuff especially if you're gonna reduce our savings time.
Jfc if that's the case I can't guarantee kisaki anymore. At least do the acceleration after her banner ends for gods sake😩😩
this fest drained from me 320 with the mythical 6% 😢 how to live to the next fest?
Do the momotalks 😎
As long as it doesn't get any shorter, I suppose this is fine, but I do like it being 6m ahead.
it will get shorter and shorter. especially if the players keep saying "this is fine"
bet the compensation won't be enough (if there's any, even.)
Its fine but does that reduce the amount of pyroxenes we get?
I can say personally I’m not happy and really do not like this change at all and I hope they take it back if enough people express their disapproval of it
Then you better do your part in sending them customer service requests. Because I did the opposite and asked for catch up and Nexon listened.
They are trying to squeeze out every bit of money from every server, I don’t know how can i have the will to continue playing this game …
I think having a shortened gap is better to preserve the hype for character releases for those who look ahead. In terms of spoilers most of it happens immediately so a 6 month to a 3 month period wouldn't really save people from spoilers. It would also probably be best to never catch global up to JP completely because western gacha players usually spend less on gacha so having a window to look ahead and save is ideal for most players.
Ngl this is fine if the 14 days banner get reduced to 10 or 7 days and the 10 day banner to 5 days its farmmable the event i mean if u focused on mats from event pyrox farming if u maxed 90 its doable any raid is easy to extreme mebbe insane story pyrox can be enjoyed separately i mean i managed to farm more than 50k alone after dress hina by keep grinding and login everyday
Its viable cause so many free airdrops from devs too
For new events? Keep the 14 days.
Let senseis actually digest the event instead of being reckless with fomo
@LoliconSamalik tru 4 dat
I think they will remove some banner/event reruns.
15k pyroxene now, is it enough for kisaki, idol students and seia rio??
i have no idea how to count these stuff
You're definitely getting Kisaki.
As for the rest, it depends on the dates of the banners if it's 3 months shorter.
It might be rough for the Idols students, but you should be able to get the rest if you get lucky on one of them.
24K is best for a 100% guarentee.
I don't think they can properly compensate people the resources they are going to lose
I want idol Mari already god damn it, I’m glad they’re shortening the gap
I need Himari rerun :( sadly theres no Himari rerun on upcoming banners :(
Kisaki is better Himari. Also Himari already had a rerun not too long ago.
@ketsura3618 that's sad I missed her rerun banner. Well maybe I'll go all in for Kisaki then. Thank you
You can use a selector ticket from the gem shop. Not very pricey on the credcard an you get a 10xticket too
@ ehhhhh i am just f2p player. but thank you for suggesting
What about the events huh?
does anyone know how to download the jp version of BA?
this is really good i dont like getting spoiled 6 month was much
If the timeframe for this easing is one year, then the lost pyroxene adds up to a 7179 loss from the monthly packs and 5400 from the lost dailies/weeklies/pvp days. I'm assuming they'll speed up PvP seasons as well to compensate, otherwise there will be more loss from there. The same thing applies to grand assault and total assault, which adds up to another, 9600 pyroxene over the year. Let's say 30K is lost, I doubt it's any higher than that, and that's high balling it.
They got six months worth of events, so they could pick and choose future events to squeeze into the current plan, packing the schedule and removing dead weeks. The resulting extra pyroxenes we would get from those events would cover most of the lost pyroxene, but they would also need to squeeze more banners in there. Speeding up the PvP season would cover the rest.
Then the only remaining things to do is to add 3x events every other month for the entirety of the year to cover the loss in materials, and compensating the 127880 AP we'd be losing out on over 3 months. That's 350 extra AP a day, which could be done by reducing the cost of event missions from 20/15/10 down to 15/12/9 for the next nine months while keeping the rewards the same. The only problem is that all these solutions will feel awful once the year is up, so I doubt they'll do it.
The panic mode is just to bring out your credit card and swipe for Kisaki or skip her and pray you spook during the summer fest, or cope and pray you get her in the winter fest/ selector ticket.. Most F2P won't be able to pull for all the students who are important in the future meta anyway so it changes nothing.
6 month -> 3 month -> 4 month??//how about per 4 month???
Hm... we got 3 versions of Blue Archive, you forgot about the China one
PGR DID THIS
Giving us 3 months estimate save of pyroxene it gonna be fine then they can reduce 6 months gap into 3 months. I think that's gonna be fair for everybody.
