Energy Refill Expiration Issue

Captain_Wies

We are now a couple of weeks since Kabam took away the back issues which many players used as a way to farm revives in exchange for their extra energy refills. It's about that time where lots of players are now just losing energy refills with nothing to use them on.
I believe Kabam had said they were coming out with new permanent content to replace the back issues but that never happened.

I think Kabam should put into the store a way to trade in energy refills for revives or health potions or at the very least 7 star shards so that players don't feel like their resources are going to waste.

Another option would be to allow players to replay the daily quests unlimited. You can make the opponents get 25% stronger and a little bit more rewards every time you go back in to make it a bit more competitive.

Anyone else have a good idea of what to do about the energy refill overflow issue?

My steak is too juicy and my lobster is too buttery ass post.

We had to fight to get these energy refills just leave it alone

There's enough content to use them now, between BGs and Coliseums. I'm not interested in getting less Energy, and they're not about to devalue their content like that, not as far as I can see.

Maybe you’ll be able to use it on the new game mode that’s coming in June

I would rather catch more fish than I know what to do with, than sitting in a canoe all day an praying for a bite.

Two options:

1) Let them expire or sell them. (There's always more coming in)

2) You can go through 2 Energy refills a day by completing every single Daily Quest (Gold/Iso - Catalysts - Weekly Supply Run)

There's also Battlegrounds but I didn't include it for this month because I know a lot of people who aren't playing this Meta (even while knowing the Blade piece is there)

No issues on my end. I have 20+ refills in overflow.

But unlimited daily quest I guess wouldn't be a bad idea. I just don't think Kabam will implement that.

I'm not saying it's not a good problem to have. But a problem none the less. Just trying to offer suggestions to improve the game.

Also, I'm trying not to spend my energy on Battlegrounds as it's a terrible experience. If it wasn't for the blade piece I'd honestly be doing the 3 required matches every 2nd day and be done with it. I'm resentful that Kabam forced us to do a game mode that we don't like to keep up with everyone else.

But doing something with people's extra energy refills is an opportunity for Kabam to get good feedback from people.

"Also, I'm trying not to spend my energy on Battlegrounds as it's a terrible experience."

This is where you can use that excess energy.
If you choose not to engage in the mode, the energy naturally will have nowhere to go.

@Kabam (Osaurus) Rex I'm taking this to mean that you guys have no plans to bring back a thing like the side quests where people were able to use their excess energy to farm revives?

Is there any plan for something similar to pop up? Or are the choices to do battlegrounds or nothing?

Last year, Kabam tried to adjust the energy balance; and the community outcried.

Trying again probably isn't a huge priority for them.

But the 25-Energy cost for Coliseum can eat through a few for you, if you aren't sitting at 240 points already.

I'm done with Coliseum already and still have like 30 energy refills. The problem is that I keep getting more energy refills in the 4 hour crystals.

If Kabam isn't going to give us a way to trade in the energy or use it for something productive than maybe just remove the energy refills from the 4 hour crystals and give people more health and revives from them

They made it a point to remove every source of farmable revives so why are you even asking that question? If you don't have anything to use energy on then sell them or let them expire, I don't see why that's such a problem

Double_Helix

Best way to farm revives is to *not* open the 4 hour crystals, and save them for when you need them. At that point you're going to have lots of excess energy, and you just sell it or ignore it.

@Double_Helix

Ok. And then when you need them and you open 100 4 hour crystals to get revives or health for an Everest content piece like epoch and in those 100 4 hour crystals you pull 24 energy revives. Then what do you do with all those energy refills?

Sell them

Captain_Wies

https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/comment/2956605#Comment_2956605

What's the point of giving them to players if they're just gonna sell them or let them expire. It's the same with the alliance quest revives that everyone has way too many of Notre with this new weekly alliance event.

Why can't Kabam just allow us to trade "sell" then for something useful instead of a few gold pieces.

Like allow us to trade the AQ health for AW health or trade the energy refill for a small amount of essentia or even loyalty. Something useful, ya know

Captain_Wies

@Kabam (Osaurus) Rex Maybe a 7 Star only arena that costs 3-5 energy per entry? Maybe make it weekly and the top milestone can be a selector of a deathless piece or empowered crystals. Something that will get people to do the content but also won't break the balance if you guys don't want people farming revives.
