Communication continues to be just abysmal

There is no excuse for numerous threads and constant requests for information on energy refills.

Let me help you out:
“We are looking into it”
“No changes are planned at this time”
“It’s not coming back…use units or money”
“Changes coming but no details yet”

Pick one. At least it would look like you actually read this place… which we know Kabam does since you all have comments on multiple other topics. I am getting pretty salty and my posts have some sharp elbows of late because I am about ready to make the game an afterthought. Fix it, starting with stepping in here and giving us the good or bad news.

You forget

1. Reward budget blah blah blah

2. Will create wide gap between FTP and whales

3.Sorry if there's a champ missing from Titan(How? No explanation)

It's just RNG - Read about it - grounded wisdom and other forum knights (Kabam employees under the hood)

4. Banquet was lull as we going too fast - Release dark phoenix paywalled after 6 months

5. Red hulk perfectly balanced champ

6. Release undercooked attacker (Patriot,Falcon) - 9 months to make him better -Still sucks.

Kabam thinks no one is seeing this. They're losing interest of the player base by every minute that passes.

All the forum knights who say if you have a problem leave the game stop crying, yes people are leaving and that's why game's not in top 100 Games in playstore anymore. It's because people left and so did their ranking LOL More will leave and we're already looking at a downward spiral in terms of engaged playerbase and that my friend will be the Ragnarok for this game

They won't respond. They got nothing.

They've already nerfed units and now are saying " wow look at our shiny new daily quests and weekly alliance quest " (Which nobody asked for)

The old mechanism gave us more units.

They squeezing us real good. They don't understand the repercussions.

or they do and either aren’t permitted to even give a token response… or they are too embarrassed to justify it are other possibilities…

I bet they’re reading all these posts, just ignoring them cause they don’t have a real answer. They’ll take the feedback and carefully place it in the 🗑️. And maybe next month they’ll drop fewer refills and call it a ‘buff’. Makes perfect sense, right? do classic before Elder, grind dailies, 9.3, solo raids, maybe BGs… but hey, we’ll yank your refills, so you’re forced to throw money and units at them. I honestly wanna know what these devs are eating—because only someone with a completely fried brain would make decisions this moronic……

They think people will start buying energy with units. They think wrong. People will just start playing less. I know I am

Zeraphan

I am playing somewhat less on my main account because of energy.

I am playing a lot less on my mini account because of energy. In fact, all I really do on the mini account right now is auto the daily quest (2 of the 3 of them) wait for energy to refill then auto the 3rd daily.

BigBlueOx

these threads are getting as frequent as energy refill questions

BringPopcorn

I'm going to put my tinfoil hat on and say that they went with the discount bandwith package. They don't want us having so much screentime for that reason, so they took away the energy.

Taking the hat off, and being serious now. You guys care too much while being a customer. If it bothers you so much just stop being one. Its the only way to send a message.

JESUSCHRIST

There's a saying,

Kabam has new policies

Players have new strategies

I guess players always have to adapt to the ever changing conditions within the game

Conserve, manage, ration, whatever is necessary

Even the DPRK pretends everything is fine and show themselves as a thriving nation....

They probably look at the data from he poker game event and realized players had way too much energy refills.

Players were putting up crazy amounts of points using all the free refills.

They didn't make as much money from that event so they decided to take our energy refills away.

Just a theory

ahmynuts

They really need to step it up and fast.

The community needs something. Anything. Comp posts are great, but they don't address the systemic issues and what Kabam is doing about them going forward. The EQ nerf is great, but what about everything else? How about specific details on the changes being made so everyone is informed beforehand? Why not peel back the curtain on that?
Literally just a single screenshot of the first blade in EQ is all we need, and we can't even get that, not because they can't, but because they won't.

Try asking them about the issue you are facing while purchasing some offer in the market store and you will get a reply or solution right away.

Yeah, but a lot of players are rushing to explore 9.3, so feels like they pulled the energy refill stunt on purpose to push unit spending. And believe it or not, most will still end up spending.

Yep I've already bought the energy card 🤦. I shouldn't, but I actually like this game despite it's issues and I don't want to have to login constantly to complete content the way kabam seems to want us to do with this change.

I wouldn't be at all suprised to see energy refills available in the radiance store in October after it's updated.

At this point people should stop tuning into the livestream. Why should the community tune in when their communication is this bad

that’s true. But didn’t you hear? They’re now only giving out small energy refills. Not the full ones. The value on those are deemed too high to give out free now. Going to cut into Kabam’s bottom line otherwise.

AndyBaron7

everytime kabam give something they take things away seems to be common practise for them. My guess they have an influential dev who comes up with these bizarre ideas like let’s get good feedback from event quest then change it and nerf progression. Then it’s people didn’t like it right let’s take the energy refills see how they like that lol🤠 it’s like there hell bent on aggravating there players and think spamming you with deals deals deals and more deals might take your mind off it. But people don’t like deals when there not happy something kabam should focus more on. They should rectify the energy 2. I can’t even try 9.3 yet daily quests take all the energy 😂

TotemCorruption

This is like when the drug dealer kept giving you free drugs (energy refills) but then once you got addicted he started charging you for it (units, energy card).

It's fun to see who's addicted, who's broke, and who's both broke and addicted.

Obviously the simple and healthy solution is to just play less until if and when the energy refills start flowing again.

I think we literally get like 35 days to do EQ and 9.3 doesn't even expire.

There simply is no excuse to treat one's compulsive need to clear all content in a day or two as being somehow Kabam's fault.

might be hard to fathom, but some of us can’t log in magically when the energy bar is full…. Which made lower EQ collecting units doable with refills. Now to collect a lesser amount of units, we have to burn energy on a daily quest that in fact expires every 24 hours… at the expense of other content…but don’t let facts like that get in the way of your white knighting

Hey, times are hard okay. It aint a bad thing to be broke, it's normal. And truthfully, we all probably have better things to spend on our money on than Kabam.

Jokes aside, ye i'm addicted and like running all content in one day, what about it?

Nono, seriously, if i'm being honest, I just hate games being energy based. It's really just a mobile game thing that started spreading, and now soooo many games have it and i hate it. But, I also work and get terrible service at work, so I'm never really struggling with energy until the weekend.

Just pop some of the seven hour crystals that we’re all sitting on if you’re that desperate for energy.

I mean, there is nothing convenient about the game. It is designed to take over your life if you let it.

But this is how I've adjusted to the energy shortage.

It takes about 5 minutes to 100% autofight the supply run and costs 60 energy.

I usually do this when I get up in the morning and making breakfast for my kids.

At that point it will take about 6 hours for the energy to refill.

So I've just been doing some 9.3 in the evenings or right before sleep.

It's actually been kind of nice to have limited energy refills.

And of course there is no limit on arena, and AW and AQ have their own energy costs.

I think it's all ok actually.
