Is MCOC becoming an Idle Game? (half-serious question)

Sorry to pile on with a separate post, but it struck me over the weekend that almost all of my time in the game lately (especially on my mini, which I'm probably going to drop) has been spent... not. playing. the. game. It takes so much energy and so much *time* to autoplay 8 different paths in the semi-obligatory daily quests that I find myself just logging in, hitting autoplay, and putting the phone down to *go play other games on my tablet* while the little characters run around on the screen by themselves and gather resources for me. It reminds me of those mall / restaurant management games that my kids play. If you think about it, it takes about 2 full energy bars to complete the daily autoplay stuff, and you can get about 3 full bars of energy a day without spending units on refills. That makes MCOC in its current state a 2/3 idle game and a 1/3 fighting game. That makes me sad.

It does not take long to autoplay. I roll a few blunts, maybe smoke a half and before i know it, it's done. It sounds like you are just tired of the game lol. Sometimes when i feel game fatigue, i just play arenas lol. IDK doing that makes the game fun again. Sorry you're said tho my guy. Take a few months off then come back maybe that'll help a little. 😇

It isn't that it takes a long amount of time, it takes all the energy. I have the same situation on my mini. All I do is login, do 2 of the 3 dailies, which wipes my energy. I logout and when I get energy back I log back in and auto the remaining dailies and that is it. I am done with the mini because I don't have the time to wait for it to get more energy to do anything else.

The state of the game is such that it’s so grindy that my friend there plays arena (Arena!!!) so it doesn’t seem so grindy.

That’s a BIG problem

I have not had energy refill issues. And honestly i don't mind playing arenas. And im a 9 year player. I just roll with the punches when it comes to MCOC.

I rather make fun of Kebem here instead of making a fun of myself by playing the game at current state.

Same boat. And this coming on the heels of an auto-battler SQ and a Poker game SQ are further disincentivizers to remain engaged with the game.

Login during lunchbreak, autofight most of the semi-obligatory daily quest, have no more energy to do anything else. Login in the evening, autofight remainder of daily quest, have barely any energy to do something else.

I could use energy refills (I don't personally have a refill issue right now, but I can see it becoming a painpoint with the upcoming changes), but the feeling that this game is an idle game makes me think what is the point of continuing to play the game.

I realized that and made a post about this literally the first day the new "system" went life. The have turned a great and engaging game into a boring dump of doing the exact same quests each and every day over and over again and spending all your energy to do that. And thats everything you can do now for "free". Want to explore interesting content? Cough up some units or the energy subscription. But no, they have realized their mistake. You now have whole 2 energy refills per week to have a bit of fun like for one hour of game time.
