let me rephrase semi collector lvl lol
same **** occured to me with sabretooth last month i dashed as far as we can and he activated his sp2 guess what he somehow managed to clip me and bleed to me death despite me being so far away....i been saying AI needs to be toned down a bit i guess without us testing the content first they wont make money off of us
@Thatweirdguy you nailed on the head. You're so smart. I wanna be like you.
@duke @Barunkk
Who says you need to buy the packages? You can be F2P and never have to buy anything. Its been proven. Brian Grant is the biggest example of this. He does what he needs to do to get the resources he neess without spending. I'm not F2P and like i said, i dont mind buying the refills. I'm not jaded to think they are going to put out the same quest every month. Then you would be complaining about stale content.
I'll repeat it again, i dont like the energy system. It can be improved. Its clearly aboit generating money. Theres no secret there. This is also a game run by a for profit business. Theres no secret there either.
You have a choice.
You can milk the free energy as much as possibe.
You can grind arena for units and make your own money.
You can buy the energy (one of the best bang for your buck resources) you need.
Or you can stop playing.
No one is making you do anything. Not every decision Kabam makes has to make you happy. They are a business after all. Support it or dont. Thats your choice.
As far as the game evolving, ive been playing since right after release. When act 4 came out, the exact same thing happened with compaints about energy. Act 5 came out and they lessened the amount needed. When EQ's were released, nobody was up in arms about having to do both. The game will continue to add content, but Kabam has done things to make up for other things. Halls of healing didnt cost any energy, they couldve charged you energy for it but didnt. Dont see any comments about that.

Don't use Brian Grant coz he's day job is YouTube for Mcoc... Not many can have a full time job or full time student can do that level of grinding as a free to play player...
So using BG as an example is unfair to most of the community...
seriously is the world gonna end if you stop doing energy cost missions?? idk wth is going on but by looks of things this game will become truly p2p in matter of weeks rather then days and will force f2p out the door heck the current feature items in the store already started the process.
Just a Kabam wanting that in 1 or 2 minutes the development team solves the energy problem.
So do you have to finish the EQ in 2 or 3 days to the point where you have to use 45 energy refills? I'm halfway through Uncollected and Heroic and have used 3 energy refills since they came out. I will be able to complete all 3 heroic, master and uncollected without spending tons and tons of money. Nothing says you have to finish the EQ right when it's released.
BG is not a good example of a free to play player. His job is literally playing MCOC all day long. he does not work or have any other commitments. Only unemployed/independently wealthy/living with someone who supports you people can do what he does. Not that there is anything wrong with that....but most people can't do what he does because of work, school, etc.....
On a general note, there is nothing free about this game. Brian's probably spent 6 figures worth in wages and overtime playing this game all day everyday over 2 years.
I'm a free player and my account is right with Brian grants account in strength. And I don't have a you tube and this game is not a job for me but you can still be in the top and be a free player and not play as a job
Do you have a job?
Being F2P means nothing to a normal person if that also includes doing nothing much except playing MCOC.
It’s all about comms. As ever.
Hey there! I read your answer, but I was doubtful... so I decided to search as many images of marvel trucos as I could. Here is a compilation of (almost) all the Events since november 2016. As you can see, the energy cost CHANGES TOO MUCH. It's not a discrepancy, but smart trick... Therefore, it looks like all the extra nodes have been added in the last (and the hardest) mission of this event. I spend 90 energies to reach the Guillotine and she kills me. The first thing I'd say is "I spent almost 100 energy, I'm gonna kill her even if I spend 100 units!
Energy Needed
6924 - Total energy to run all Event Quest difficulties
372 - Total energy to run all Rifts with shards earned from Exploring EQs (1 Beginner, 2 Normal, 2 Heroic, 3 Master). Not including original gift, which was given before EQ started... but it includes the 5000 Tier 2 shards given after that initial run. Also not including shards earned from alliance or solo event milestones.
7,296 - Total Energy required for month to finish events.
Energy Earned
70 - Starting energy if you start the minute that the Event Quest starts.
6,720 - Energy earned over the 28 days the EQ is running (assuming you never let the energy bar fill completely).
840 - Energy earned if you receive full helps and if you ask exactly every 8 hours.
7,630 - Total possible earnable energy in 28 days.
Remainder
334 - This means that if you somehow never let your energy bar fill completely you could finish the EQ and all the subsequent rifts with 33 hours and 24 minutes left in the event.
Obviously this is insane but I'm just going to leave this here with little to no opinion. We'll let the math speak for itself. Perfect and constant play will yield just over a day to spare if you'd like to complete all the content and get all the rewards from this EQ and Rift.
Given that the energy range of uncollected seems to normally come in somewhere from 1,300-1,450 - I think the jump to 1664 for this month's is a bit outside the range of typical variance. That's basically 200 more energy over the more energy-heavy quests in recent history. For them to imply that it's not much different than the "typical" energy swings is a bit disingenuous.
Consider the lowest prize you can receive in the Rift. Compare that to the Energy difference between what you spent last month on any particular Difficulty. Plus the Shards for the next step up. It's fair.
I wanted to drop in and thank you all for your feedback about the energy requirements of this month's event. We've shared your concerns with the game team and continue to welcome any additional feedback you have about the event. Thank you!
You guys run a very successful game run by very smart people. The metrics you guys use to to keep everyone hooked is obviously very effective and everything you guys do is done deliberately and with reason.
In other words, you're obviously doing something right if you can make so much money having players play the same fights 10 000 times a month.
There's a lot of math and statistics that go into the formula that makes your game so successful. It's not just a bunch of random people with little or experience randomly guessing what to change next.
Any changes you guys make it based on the numbers that makes this game so succesful, so the changes to energy requirements wasn't randomly decided by some chump. It was intentional.
If players are complaining about the changes, we know for a fact that the dev team knows exactly why.
So why are you saying that you`ve taken our constructive criticisms to the dev team? They already know why we hate the changes better than the players do. You guys just got caught again trying to pull another fast one and JUST ENOUGH of us complained that is making you guys examine your decision.
This is constructive criticism.
I’m trusting your math, but assuming it all foots, this is brilliant. And hilarious.
Remember when Kabam said they were concerned about the amount of time people needed to play the game (I believe it was mainly in the arena context, but whatever)? All the game team asks of you this month is your every waking moment. Plus a few sleeping ones.
I know, I know...you don’t have to play it all. But you’d think if you did—and you devoted that much of your time—you’d wind up with more than some 1/2/3* chests and scraps of the resources you need.

We do NOT appreciate such response.
First you claim it didn't change much, when counter evidence is presented, you are thankful?
You constantly keep reducing the rewards players get from constant playing, and force them to in the end buy units to compensate for it, in order to stay competitive...
Or, you enjoy that people might start leaving the game due to such shady conduct?
