Bonus energy timings

I have really appreciated the 3x daily bonus energy to help with farming etc, but I would like to make one small suggestion to the timings.

I feel that the set times of 12, 6pm and 9pm go a bit too far in trying to micromanage when you want to, or can, play. However much I love this game, I do have a life outside of it too! Could an adjustment instead be made so that the bonus energy is made available every 6 hours, in sync with when the cantina/arena/GW shipments reset?

ps. my first ever discussion post... Thanks for the game EA. Loving it so far :)

The other stores are not quite every 6 hours - it's 6 hours from your last login. This would almost guarantee you'd miss energy as it's the middle of the night etc, everyone would have different times and it would be open to manipulation. Most other games do it at set times and in all honesty it is the most efficient. Plus you have 2 hours to claim it so just log on, claim it and log off and use it all later if you need

hey

thanks for the replies guys. Sorry about the long long delay in getting back to you - can't log in to the forum on my phone and it's been a busy couple of days...

I see what you're getting at, but the way the math works out you'd still be able to access the bonus energy 3x a day using my suggestion, but you have the choice about when to log in those three times instead of the game. I.e:

-Log in when you wake up (lets say 6-7am)
-then during lunch (12-1pm)-
then literally any time before u go to sleep after work (11pm-midnight).

The devs could even cap the number of times you can claim bonus energy to 3x daily.

Take Ello_Asty's situation, for example (thanks for your contribution btw - I feel for you!): right now logging in late to claim the bonus energy is either not possible or just plain irritating. With my suggested system, I'd hope (!) this would be resolved...

What do you reckon? Tbh, in my situation, I just really do find it annoying that I find myself thinking 'oh man I have to log in collect my bonus energy now' when I'm out for the evening and it's kinda antisocial, or quite simply can't because I'm at the cinema... which happened yesterday :(
