1 Energy Refill a month… thanks Kabam!

Big day coming up on Monday…. Get your 1 Energy Refill from the calendar! The only refill available in game without $$$, units, or cracking open RNG crystals you wanted to save for content.

Forget P2W …. We are now at P2P. We were told we don’t need the energy refills….. lol, good luck with daily quests, battlegrounds, side quest, EQ (if it’s ever fixed) and 9.3. Kabam wants us to touch a lot more grass. So thoughtful.

yeah, no way I can log in every time my energy refill to be able to do any content. I have a life outside the game, if ai can't log in and play for as long as I got what's the point.

They should just put the three energy refills in the supper weekly alliance event and the problem would be solved. But we know Kabam just won’t do something like that.

I never had problems with energy and could pick and choose when I wanted to complete content. Never could do much during weekdays due to work but after work or on weekends, I would boost up and burn energy refills to complete content.

With the scarcity of refills now, I can’t even pick when I wanted to play. That’s a good way to push me to quit given I have a life outside this game.

it’s a dumb move to remove those refills. 3 per week is barely 90 units. I doubt they did it hoping to make a lot of money. But the way the game is going, it was a terribly shortsighted move. People will just stop playing once they run out of energy rather than think about spending units on energy refills. It’s just a move which will backfire on them big time.

This energy situation is a bit weird for me. Sometimes I got enough free time that I wanna do as much as I can in 1 sitting, and sometimes i just don't even log in for hours… I wouldn't go as far as saying that they are trying to get money which seems a bit far fetched; but I would agree its a bit annoying.

This energy refill, or lack there of has my curiously piqued. There has to be a reason why. Aside from the what looks like greed. Hopefully at some point we get an actual response with both an explanation & solution...

ChiliDog

I rarely visit the forums now, but came here to post something similar. There isn't enough energy to get the rewards daily and do content when a person only has a few breaks a week for content.

Brilliant idea: make the game more difficult. Reduce energy. Take away player points. Bugs that make units and items disappear. Perfect system. Kaban. It's become a Las Vegas casino, but with GTA cheats.

Looks like Kabam figured it out — too much player engagement = lags, bugs, and disconnects. Their brilliant solution? Remove energy refills from everywhere. Problem solved…

Honestly, this isn’t even new. Energy shortages have always been the so-called ‘feature’ that pushed me to try other games. As a non-arena-grinder, what else can you do without refills? Stare at rankups, read through champ abilities like a book…. That shortage actually got me into Genshin and Valo, and I gradually took a break from MCOC because those games were more fun.

Then Kabam started giving more refills, and I was able to clear more content, gather resources faster, and join a better alliance. I even started enjoying AW fights, AQ, and alliance-focused activities more.

Now? They’re doing the same thing again, and it’s pushing players away. Kabam really doesn’t seem to learn from their own mistakes.

I literally have over 30. I have no idea how people are going through so much Energy.

JESUSCHRIST

Yea I saw the video on youtube, it's such an entertaining video from the jokes in the video, I laughed so hard at the Kabam jokes from KT1

Especially the the jokes about Kabam making mistakes every week so Kabam can send us compensation every week filled with energy refills

Why worry about the lack of energy refills when we know Kabam makes plenty of mistakes and this game is approaching 11 years old, the app is now made up of old and new codes and isn't performing well at all, we will get compensation regularly, energy refills, revives and potions

well, if you are one who tries to push gladiator circuit every season and don’t win every match, elder marks dry up and energy is a necessity. With the new daily quests, try running more than 1 of those consecutively. As I said in the original post, we have a dead game right now…. But 9.3 and side quests start next week. If EQ becomes playable again next month… the problem is going to be glaring real quick. Also how you play…. Trying to learn a path and champ combination? Have fun restarting if you mess up.

It takes about 2 minutes of thinking to realize your stash isn’t permanent. And if you play this game in a big window on the weekends and don’t have the ability to pick up the game just whenever your energy is filled by the timer, you aren’t going to be completing much.

caught a bit of 3 streams, all 3 streamers saying out of refills. Will have manage energy so carefully, or maybe kabam really is promoting mental health

I'm in BGs. It doesn't take that many Refills to get to the GC.

Actually, that's probably the biggest contributing factor. If we're spending all our Refills in BGs, we can't expect to have them for content.

GroundedWisdom

However, I will agree if there are less available, that will become an issue.

Lonley_potato123

Yea but didnt have that problem before , weekly we would get refils and sone arena grinding here and there would get u enough for the month u need and even extra i always had extra 10 or 15 every month. But now i have extra refills only cause of the compensation kabam gave with the new daiy quest , monthly eq( classic and elder ) u just burn through them . We didnt had an issue and kabam just was like you know what we can make more money if we give less refils and then decided to remove them

GroundedWisdom

I'm not convinced they're trying to make money from Refills. That's really not a source of income for them, and never has been a major money maker. I'd wait and see what they say.

I only have 12 and I haven't even done the EQ yet. With 9.3 this month too, it will be very hard to ration.

rwhack

yea the energy refills have completely evaporated. Pretty awful change.

Muscleheadz

How about at least making the daily quests one energy a piece. Stupid that we can't at least do all these without having to wait to refill.

Yeah, this bugs me too. So much energy wasted for a couple of fights. It's going to be harder to meet daily objectives when I'm busy, let alone others for special events. Especially since we can't just run lower level EQs on auto anymore. I'm not even close to the weekly now either, even after doing more Arenas than I normally do. What on earth is Kabam thinking?

thats a feature not a bug.

Penzito

9.3 Dropping next week, usually takes about 12-13 refills to do complete in a couple days.

Looks like GC numbers are down this season. I was wondering if people see what we see, and energy is now on a tight budget. It would be nice to see BG matches lowered to 5 energy always, but since its a negotiation with Kabam, at least move it to 10.

Here's to hoping we can get through the rest of 2025 without anymore disdainful trends towards the player base.

What’s the difference between Tony Stark, Doctor Strange, and Kabam?

Tony learns from his mistakes and improves everything.

Strange rewinds time to fix what went wrong.

Kabam just repeats the same mess and calls it “new content.”

Sachhyam257

I keep saying this but enshittification is such a huge plague, not just in this game but literally in all online products/platforms/services.

Yes that's a real word (coined term), search it up. A lot of things might click once u learn about it.

Meh, less energy, I'll play less, simples!

Less? There are none available in game now accept the 1 from the monthly calender lol. That 30 or yours will become 10 very quickly when they expire in your stash and you're left with just the inventory cap. And the only reason you have 20 in overflow is because they used to give you 5/6 a week for free.

You don't have to defend every decision kabam makes you know. Sometimes (a lot of times) they just 💩 the bed.
