Why Has The Energy Per Tile Of EQ Increased?

FrostGiantLord

I was grinding EQ today when I realized that it now takes FIVE energy per tile in EQ Chapter 3, instead of the usual three energy. This struck me as odd, as the energy cap hasn't been increased, and no other changes to energy consumption were made. But soon it became really frustrating, as it now took almost double the amount of energy to complete the EQ when compared to last month. I understand that the amount of energy refills and such items that players can obtain has increased. However, that does not compensate for all the extra energy we use up with this change. At the very least, Kabam should have notified the player base to this change through the mail, or on the Forums. If this change isn't a bug and is here to stay, there should be a change to the distribution of energy refills, in order to compensate for the extra energy used through exploring the EQ.

It takes more for Completion but it’s actually less for Exploration which is a win imo because of the New Gauntlet.

the frustration is understandable, but misplaced. they removed 6 total paths from EQ, making it 20% shorter and thus considerably less of a grind. While the energy bump is there, the paths themselves are also shorter. Have you checked to see how much energy it actually takes to run a path in 3.2? I'm pretty sure it's 60, which is pretty great even compared to how it used to be.

They actually did communicate this in the livestream and posted it on the forums…

They increased the energy per tile, but they removed 6 paths. So it actually costs less energy to explore

This change was communicated multiple times in multiple ways. It's around 120-150 energy less overall but cost more for the initial completion

Yes, if only they had communicated this change.....

@FrostGiantLord you feel as if you've been wronged, but alas you haven't. As was pointed out in every other response to your post, Kabam did announce this change and there have been multiple threads about this exact subject on the forum.

Kabam axed 6 paths across the entire quest and shortened the paths. While the initial shock of seeing 5 energy/move vs 3 energy/move is understandable, you'll get used to it, realize that quest completion will cost you about 1.5 fewer energy refills, and soon not even think twice about it.

Not a bug and here to stay.

An announcement on a livestream isn't enough. They should at least make an announcement on the Forums or the in-game mail notifying all players of this change.

I like how they skipped every single post that mentioned the forums and only replied to mine which didnt directly mention the forums and only implied it lol

For every nickel i had of someone asking about energy increase i be rich and buying paragon crystals. 🤣

Lets talk EQ 3.2

Used to be standard 21 nodes per path.
7 paths with 3 energy per node.
= 63 energy per path
= 441 for whole quest

It's now 13 nodes per path
5 paths with 5 energy
= 65 energy per path.
= 325 for whole quest

Go calculate the other yourselves and do tell us the big discovery.

Reading is hard enough, how do you expect them to handle the maths too
