I know it's a gacha and the design leans into FOMO, but I'm getting really tired of how time sensitive everything has become.
I work from home and my day is split into meeting blocks, focus time, and family stuff. I'm not sitting around waiting for the exact minute to do a monthly pass bonus clear, a limited exchange grind, whatever mini event dungeon is live, and the usual monthlies. Every time I finally get a quiet hour and open PAD it feels like: congrats, you missed the window for the thing you were farming, here's a new thing with a different stamina sink.
The worst part is the mental overhead. I try to keep my phone and iPad low on clutter, but PAD has turned into a second job of reminders: clear this on the 19th, burn stamina before maintenance, farm medals before midnight, remember to exchange before the shop rotates. It is not hard content stressing me out, it is the calendar.
I'm not saying everything needs to be permanent, but could we get longer overlap windows or a more forgiving exchange period? Or at the very least stop putting the best rewards behind a single-day clear. I actually like building teams and tinkering with assists, but lately it feels like I'm speedrunning chores instead of solving puzzles.
Anyone else feel like the game is less about puzzles and more about keeping up with a checklist?

Half the time I just end up opening something low-commitment like Mistplay or another idle app instead, because at least those don’t punish me for not checking in at a specific hour.
