New daily quest energy consumption

So are we going to get energy fills back to be able to do all these new daily questing that’s taking a lot of energy?

Comments

Before this update, have you done all of the daily quests? Probably not. Even if you claim you did, you would also know you’d need way more than 70 energy to 100% it all

You can use your one full energy (70+) to 100% the Apothecary. Similarly with the Weekly Supply run, you can use one full energy to get through it

You didn't ask for energy refills before to complete the daily quests, you shouldn’t now

I often used the lower quests to do objectives. There doesn’t seem to be anything left that will use less energy to do a bunch of easy fights anymore, monthly or daily. AND less of a chance to get energy refills free. There are 2 new objectives those would have been perfect for, guess it’s going to take me twice as long, if I even bother trying… 🫤

for one we had energy fills in overflow, 2 I do run daily quest frequently I like to rank up my lower end champs. For you to say I didn’t ask for energy fills before is ridiculous because we had them in overflow

Nobody asked because energy refills were in good supply...

And you’re disregarding the fact that nobody 100% all of the daily quests even with the good supply of energy refills.

I don't really care about energy, but locking weekend quest and making people do the daily thing without autocomplete button is bs. Is it really that important for them to make me wait for the fights to auto complete? At very least could've put it all in one path. Why do they need to make things worse? So annoying

Energy shortage is all by design. Remember, we were told that nerf was because we wouldn’t need it do to valiant being cut down…. lol

they want you burning units for energy just like they want you burning revives and health pots in EQ. It’s all about forcing you to spend when they resources are gone

HuskerCool

I wasn’t aware it was starting today. That said, couldn't they have put everything into ONE quest (apothecary, catalysts, etc)?? That would have been a real pro player move .

Buddy, they removed the energy refills because "you don't need energy anymore on the lower difficulties of EQ." The new daily quests are meant to replace those lower difficulties, so why would the refills not come back. Does it get tiring shilling for kabam?

You’ve got no clue what’s actually happening in-game….

Walton_G

before three months i had too many energy refills and less content, so thy would just expire left and right, but in this three months eneergy refills played a key role and all of a sudden i am lacking them, did kabam remove refills from some rewards or something. i feels I am getting refills at a far slower pace compared to before, can anyone exlpain

They have a decent drop rate in the 4 daily crystals from the DSE.

I still don't understand why they dropped the energy refills we get a week to zero. I get lowering them if the removal of lower eq is the reasoning but then drop them from 6 a week to 3. To go to 0 a week just seems like a push for us to spend units on refills or the buy to daily energy card. I'd love to hear the reasoning why zero a week and 1 a month (from the calender) is now deemed an acceptable return. @Kabam (Osaurus) Rex @KabamPinwheel @Kabam Crashed

You could easily burn through 20+ refills going through the lower difficulties. What makes you think you need that same amount for daily quests? (Hint: you don’t)

Now you have a choice in what daily quests you want to do aside from the Weekly Supply Run (which is the only one that has units by the way and you can do with 1 full energy)

don’t hold your breath if you’re really looking for someone at Kabam to explain why they do almost anything. The better question is why they switched to this new EQ format when most seemed fairly happy with how it was before. That question can be found all over the place but no response from anyone at Kabam.

I agree that Kabam's decision to remove energy refills from event prizes was not a good move. It does not bother me that much, because I only auto-fighted The Apothecary, but I understand some were doing more daily quests than me.

I did a test this morning, and the energy consumption for Daily Essentials, Catalyst Harvest (Paragon and Valiant), plus Weekly Supply, was not bad at all.

Daily Essentials - 20 energy

Weekly Supply - 40 energy

Catalyst Harvest (Paragon and Valiant) - 20 energy for each 100% exploration.

Total energy cost: 100. That is 1 Energy Refill and half.

Keep in mind that I've collected 50% T6 Basic and 50% T3 Alpha, plus 30% T6CC selector, 33% T5CC, T6 Basic and Class Iso, basic and class alloys etc.

Compare these prizes to 20% T4 Basic, T2-T3 Basic catalyst, etc, that we were getting for the same 100 energy cost.

A Paragon and Valiant player can get 24xT6 Basic, 24xT3 Alpha catalysts, a full T4 Alpha, 13xT6CC , 10xT5CC per month from these alone. That is the equivalent of little over two rank 2 7 star champions per month.

Before this, we weren't able to take 2x7* champions to rank 2 per month unless we played Battlegrounds on a regular basis, and we all know how hard it is to win fights in Battlegrounds.

CONCLUSION: Kabam did a GREAT job, in my opinion.

And most of us probably have full Energy at the start of day so that is 1 less Energy Refill. And if you have time and is not impatient, you can wait out the other 30 energies.

Anotherconcernplayer

So personally I think this would be nice:-

2 Full Refill in the Sunday Supply Quest
Ability to buy once a day 1 Full Refill for the cost of your max Energy (71, 72 ect).

Why, so it give players just that little flexibility of control when they play. People work, study, does whatever they in in real life, only a certain small amount of time to play the game, by being to trade in your current energy for the refill later, you have more control.

It wouldn't cost Kabam anything, but make a much better environment for MCOC.

Annatar

Whatever, another useless mode, especially when it's again impossible to enter and spend energy while stuck in other content. And now, it is even more useless with this new insane long and boring EQ, where you can be stuck for days without be able to spend spare energy

I’ll start by saying I’m not FTP, I’ve spent plenty real life currency playing this game. I don’t like having to spend money to PLAY the game. I play bgs mostly and I’ve run out of energy! I don’t want to have to BUY energy. This equals less time actually playing the game for me. I understand this game is a business, but they’re about to lose a lot of my time investment with this energy reduction. They’re counting on our “addiction” to play this game and I think everyone will feel the pinch soon if they continue to play at a similar rate

You have 240 free energy a day for a start

Thedarkhalf2001

In this new reward structure across the board, we only get one energy refill per month from what I could see (in the calendar).

For the first time in a while I have no energy fills in overflow.

With 9.3 on the horizon this week, this is a big issue.

Part of the compensation this last week was entries into the Sunday supply drop, which also cost energy. I don’t see how I am able to run it 6x without using energy fills (along with the other daily quests) which will take away from what I need for 9.3
