Current Events > Girls Frontline General 14: Untitled Gun Game

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's probably just the developer test game with modified parameters, because I honestly doubt the final Executioner will have 999 in all stats

HOLY SHIT that's awesome news. I guess I need to watch that anime before (if?) that event comes to the EN version. I've had it on my plan-to-watch list for a couple of years now and I've heard so many good things about it, but I just never got around to it.

Honestly might as well finish the mango, it's been complete for eight years now and there's like no indication a new season's ever coming - Il Tetrino's over a decade old now
That said I've finished the manga but could never really get past more than an episode into the second season, it felt derpy animation and sequencewise

I don't read manga. The only way I'll ever read a manga is if it's something I'm interested in that has absolutely zero chance of ever getting any anime.

How are you so fucking basic

Oh...So then they needed to either save like their life depended on it or whale the fuck out. I mean I understand you can get more than 300k when you collect stuff, yeah, but goddamn 18 MILLION lol.

Those are from one of the company's test accounts.

Looks like I don't need to write out a bullet list. All the info from the livestream is in this thread:
https://community.gamepress.gg/t/cn-winter-2020-event-leaks-datamines-livestream-discussion/59275

The SF capture system is officially called "Protocol Assimilation". The codes for stuff presented in the stream only work on the CN client, not EN.

These are the new hardcaps for storage I mentioned earlier. It's only a matter of time until EN get them.

Will you add a rescue pity system?
A: This has been a commonly requested feature to make sure commanders dont get so unlucky they fail to get a T-Doll drop despite farming a lot.
Our drop rate is low, so sometimes players who dont get a drop for many more clears feel bad.
We have good news.
Every time you fight a mob eligible for limited drop, youll earn some of a new type of event-limited currency. With enough of this currency, you can trade for one of the events limited drop T-Dolls, guaranteed.

I'll just copypasta the QnA section here to save on scrolling.

Q: Yuzhong, why dont you do more of these streams?
A: Honestly, streaming is really stressful. But I really like doing these live streams and the player feedback and live interaction helps us a lot as game developers.
We also really like teasing players with unreleased content.
If theres more content, well try to announce them better, and Ill definitely try to be in these streams more often.

Q: We really loved the minigame from previous events; the bike chase in Isomer and the danmaku game in Shattered Connexion. Will there be more of this?
A: We add these minigames for fun because theyre great. We use them to gauge player interest in new mechanics, especially since they can be less stressful than normal GFL combat.
We know some of them dont appeal to all players; some commanders had trouble with the danmaku mechanic since they arent used to the controls, so future minigames will try to strike a better balance between interesting gameplay and difficulty.
Its honestly incredibly difficult to make all of these happen in GFL

Q: The friend system sucks! What are you gonna do with it?
A: We tried to fix this with the Theater system and it didnt work. We know its a commonly requested improvement.
Well try again this year; Griffin is a PMC after all, we want players to feel like theyre actually in a multiplayer game with access to other commanders forces at some point.
The biggest challenge is making this work without making it something that adds an extra daily burden - the coop aspect should be optional.
Of course we have to think about commanders that dont like socializing in a web game - so structurally, most things will remain the same as they have always been. GFL wont turn into an MMO overnight or anything.

Q: Can you give us access to more unconventional warfare mechanisms? I want to launch cyberattacks!
A: We definitely like the idea, but this is honestly something thats incredibly difficult to develop. Our game already had tons of new systems added, like Fairies, HOCs, the new SF capture (Protocol Assimilation) mechanic, etc. Implementing a new feature can often be complex or incredibly confusing to players, and we dont want that to happen.
For example, fairies are basically buff sticks, and most people understood that. The HOC system, on the other hand, was a headache and many players complained, so we heard that feedback and will not add problematic new mechanics that repeat the same mistake.
Something thats more important to us is iterating the current system to make the core gameplay loop better.

Q: Can you give us an in-game combat simulator so we dont have to actually deploy our teams to test the strength of our echelons?
A: Were actually interested in developing a good simulation tool. Players who really like theorycrafting should definitely appreciate that.

Q: The fixed Adjutant positioning sucks! Can we configure moving them?
A: (Yuzhong) I asked for this feature before, I dont know why the programmers havent delivered it yet, since I totally agree and have wanted this for a while now.
A lot of the T-Doll adjutant art would look much better if you can reposition them slightly based on background.

Q: Can you add CV batches faster?
A: Were trying to improve the contracting process with voice actors so that we can release new T-Dolls already voiced.

Q: Can you add holiday events to story playback?
A: We want to do this. Currently the playback is focused on story, but we hope that in the future these cutscenes can be played back as needed.

Q: If we missed event fairies or event special equipment, is there any way for us to get it back?
A: We really dont want to make these event-limited items extinct. There should be a way to eventually get them back, aside from things that are out of our control to add back in. (likely referring to Honkai Impact collab and other collab stuff)

Q: Are there any plans to add a fairy enhancement pill?
A: The current system is a bit confusing to new players. We know this is a problem, so itll be fixed!
Were adding a new fairy during this Winter 2020 event that will provide massive EXP to any fairy you feed it to!

Q: Are there any plans to use the Girls Frontline IP to release other games or content?
A: I dont know how much I want to leak right now, but wait for the 5/2 GFL Shanghai Expo. Well retain the core elements like our unique gameplay style, the T-Dolls that everyone have come to love, and 2D and 3D content will both exist.
Well have new games that, even for players who may not like the genre, should leave a powerful impression.

Yuzhong says hes looking forward to announcing Girls Frontline 2.

Q: Can you add the GFL WeChat stickers to the game?
A: This year well try something like that. Especially with the upcoming revamp to the friend system thatll make it easier to chat with other commanders, this will be something a lot of players should appreciate.

{skipped a question about merch}

Q: New costumes for our lovely protagonists please?
A: Yeah we kinda knew that their lack of costumes is a problem.
I dont want to say this is impossible, but I also dont want to say theres a possibility. We need a good opportunity to implement them, of course.

Q: How are you planning to end the story? Whats gonna happen to Griffin? Will the world end? Is this a Bad End/True End sort of timeline divergence? Is Bakery Girl canon or will you retcon it?
A: Honestly we planned to end GFL at Chapter 10. But everyone loved the game so much we had to keep going.
What I can tell you is that Griffin wont be totally wiped out, of course. I feel very strongly about the story and Ill tell you right now that commanders wont need to deal with a complete tragedy.
The story will be logical, of course. Im not going to railroad it towards an ending; wherever the story goes, itll go.

Q: Will you add a rescue pity system?
A: This has been a commonly requested feature to make sure commanders dont get so unlucky they fail to get a T-Doll drop despite farming a lot. Our drop rate is low, so sometimes players who dont get a drop for many more clears feel bad. We have good news. Every time you fight a mob eligible for limited drop, youll earn some of a new type of event-limited currency.

The real question: Why can't I get AK-12 with her mask on and/or eyes open on the echelon or MVP screen :<

Regarding the whole Honkai Impact collab thing, I'm sure there are some players here that are unfamiliar with why there are no plans to run it outside CN. I'm sure you guys know about Honkai Impact 3rd, right? The collab was about the 2nd game in the series (you can still play it, even in English, under the name Guns GirlZ - Mirage Cabin/Honkai Gakuen). After the collab was launched on CN, there was a falling out between the two companies, which resulted in the owners of Honkai annulling the agreement and pulling the plug on the possibility of the collab taking place on any other server. It's not discussed but it most likely will never be run again, on any server, unless the two companies make up and form a new agreement. Honkai 2 is also a pretty old game by this point, so there's that to consider.

The other major upset regarding a collab was with SEGA on doing a Valkyria Chronicles collab. Sunborn/Mica Team had all of the event assets done and was ready to launch but were having trouble regarding the contract with SEGA over "penalties for violating the contract". SEGA had it written that, if they violated the contract, they only had to pay a penalty once and could still continue under the agreement (which would effectively screw Mica Team over had it stuck). Mica Team asked them over and over to change the contract to "have to pay up every time the contract is violated" and, while SEGA agreed, they never amended the contract to reflect that and kept dicking around with Mica Team. Right before the collab was to launch, Mica/Sunborn had to pull the plug on it due to the whole matter to protect themselves since SEGA wouldn't change the contract to more fair terms. As I've heard it, a lot of big companies over there pull stunts like this a lot with their contracts, trying to create one-sided agreements instead of playing fair.

That was back in late 2018. Instead of that event, Mica Team got the rights to re-run the Guilty Gear x Blazblue collab and went with that on the older servers as a filler. The Valkyria Chronicles collab is also known as "the collab we don't talk about".

Then there's the issue of why Girls' Frontline is called Dolls' Frontline over in Japan...but that's another story.

I would pull for that LWMMG costume if I didn't know her Mod3 was coming... but I do, and I think her "Modern Warfare Hatsune Miku" look in that design is the coolest she has, so I'll pass on this one and wait for her Mod3. The only other one that might interest me is Mk23's costume.

Random gif to keep the purge monster away

Damn, almost ate through 9999 batteries for these stupid HOC machines. I guess there's no better use for batteries right now anyway, so maybe going back to max isn't even necessary right now.

---

Most of the hoc upgrades seen useless. There's really no reason to need more than 2 repair slot.

---

Yeah, if I'd known you don't have to do them in any order, I would've prioritized better. Oh well.

Some stuff is being added to the black market and Radiant Collection in the next update. Type 95 & 97's exclusive equipment is going in there, too, for those that missed it last time.

nice i need one more for my chinese team
---

400 tokens and I got JS05 and LWMMG
---

I'm thinking I'm going to try to get some Carcano M1891 or K31s from the event. Just to get some dupes for dummying to not have to spend cores to dummy them.

---

Sweet zombie Jesus, I went from having so many batteries I had to waste them buying pets to keep my thing from overflowing, to only 96 lol. Them HOC upgrades are really hurting the Energizer Bunny

---

Yeah, I was using 'em for random pets and stuff, too. Shame the (soft) battery cap only goes up to 9999.

---

Mortar Kombatttttt~
I'm glad it doesn't take too long to unlock these.



Anyone know what the caps are for enhancing those Tetris pieces? I already got an I-block with double stats (Lv12) and it still has a higher ceiling.

---

2 more slots to unlock team platinum myself, though I've already got team megane

Just dropping the new Madness Chapter episode to keep the purge monster away

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCvP2YdTckY
---

Finally got all the HOCs. Gonna have to start buying batteries from the black market to pay for their crap.

---

Hmm, I think maintenance is still going. I wonder how the new L2D stuff turned out...not that I'd ever replace Lee as a secretary.

---

I wish maintenance wasn't usually on Tuesday. I can never download the update before leaving for work so I lose out on being able to use up my energy for Training Data.

Also bump to prevent purging.

---

Though I default to Dragon's Son these days I find Star's L2D shifting expressions adorable

Incidentally, randomly got Star's Black Bullet doing the token auto quest lol


---

Do auto-battles for night maps count toward the event? If so, I should do those. Stopped attempting it yesterday when doing 6-6 three times didn't give any boss kill EXP.

---

Yeah they do

---

I've always hated auto-battles, but I should really reconsider that opinion, since they can be a good source of equipment drops. I already have everything in the first five chapters, I think, but I'm still leveling up STAR's special equipment from last event, so it could use a li'l boost. (If I have too many resources, I usually do a few basic fairy pulls instead.)

---

Hmm, myself I still have an extreme surplus of the Universal Parts from Expedition so I don't really use anything else for equipment upgrading

---

Don't they only give +10 at a time? I remember checking when they first came out and it seemed like a pointless item.

---

Is there any other way to get the combat manuals for HOCs? It seems like you basically need to use batteries and surplus exp to get them.

---

You can buy 'em in the black market. I went to do so after the maintenance that added HOCs, but I already bought all the normal combat reports, so it wouldn't let me buy the HOCs' stuff. Not sure if that's an error or it's meant to be that way.

---

Do you remember what they cost in the black market?

Special Combat Reports are bought in packs of x20, each selling for 30 Snowfield's Gift. You can buy 30 packs before the shop is sold out for the month. If you buy the whole lot, you'll get 600 of them for 900 Snowfield's Gift.

+100, same rate as foddering 3-stars

It took me way too long to realize you can summon normal echelons on heavy airports.

that ots14 costume is godly

I really should get off my ass and play some of the story chapters I haven't done yet before CT starts. In the meantime, the new Madness Chapter:

What just occurred to me is that I'm still on 9-5. I've been too lazy to do the story and have just been grinding resources lol

---

I think I'm on 9-2 or something. Hasn't been too hard or anything; I just put it on the back burner for other stuff.

You guys have started chapter 9? Lmao the last one I cleared was 8-6. Like I said, I really need to get off my ass and complete some more of the story.
---

I think I'm on chapter nine, anyway. I always get it confused with the eighth.

---

I've completed all the normal and emergency missions. I have chapter 7 night to finish up, but i'm not in a rush to do so.

---

Finished all the in-game chapters here
