Is this what they are aiming for?
After introducing new weekly alliance event with energy refills removed, they are now adding *checks notes* 2 FULL ENERGY REFILLS to the alliance weekly events.
We used to get 2 from summoner advancement and 3 from summoner engagement iirc, so we are getting 3 whole refills less.
To top it off they are going to get rid of elder marks so we will need to use more energy to play BGs.
If that wasn’t enough we can’t even get refills from green crystals.
All this while they want us to do the daily events, do the EQ ( with 3, 4 and 5 energy per tile ), do the weekly SQ, play BGs ( at least every 2 days )?
I think this change will lead to a lot less engagement. For example, If I log in at some time and have all of my 72 energy, 6 in AQ, 6 in AW, then I will do my war fights, AQ fights and look at what I can do with energy, let’s say I decide to do daily quest and it takes all of my energy away. Now I have some spare time, but I don’t have energy or any refill ( due to changes ), what will I do? will I buy energy to do some EQ ( with overtuned attack and health defenders ) or BGs ( with the power gain metas and bugs )? NO I will simply choose to do something else that doesn’t put so many restrictions on me.
If it was before, I would have some expiring refills which would at least make me think about doing a path in EQ or a couple of BG matches to get the objectives. But now with no energy why would I go out of my way to pay units for energy? I would just log in ( since I love the game ) when there are my war fights and use up whatever energy I have and log out, just once a day and that too for very short amount of time.
I thought KABAM wanted to increase engagement, but this is a step in opposite direction. If that’s what they were after, then congratulations they are doing great. 🥳
