Given all the new and extra kitten we have to do now, surely it's time to increase the energy cap??Obviously CG wants us to buy more refreshes and pocket them a cash windfall, but 144 energy doesn't go far enough given that 8 battles are now normal for hard nodes. It's like the British economy up in here.....everything costs more and everything goes up......except for wages!!C'mon man throw us a boneP.S ships rework sucks, at first i thought it was my rage getting the better of me, but it's not. Almost everyone i know from many guilds and shards thinks the same

Stay on target.Energy is a huge issue. The paltry sum we earn is not enough. There are many things in this game that need fixed immediately, energy cost of nodes lowered or give us more energy definitely tops the list.

Energy was increased with level when you started so when they increase to 90 or maybe 100 we should see an increase in available energy too. In saying that, I never fill my energy bars as I'm active enough to keep them under 144.. it's an increase in energy production that would be more beneficial.

I hope this can build momentum and the DEVS and MODS take notice

@CG_Kozispoon @CG_CapGaSP @CG_Carrie @CG_Leviathan some communication on this would be appreciated

Please, Carrie, do us a favor by reducing the tries to 6 or 7 nodes. You know, a middle ground where people can't complain.. Lol not happening. XDPps. Oh yeah, gotta agree with that lol. Ship rework sucks, makes it insanely rng dependent. Just.., increase the ships to 5.

What extra stuff? Energy is as always only used in the LS/DS campaigns. What's new?
Yes, they change the tuesday daily guild challenge, and hence lowered the income of guild tokens slightly, but that hardly is an argument for increasing energy cap.

If you come up with bwtter reasons, I might support the idea.

So....2 hours after your initial post, you post this? During the US AM hours? Yes, surely they will respond immediately now.

My suggestion would not be to increase the energy cap. My suggestion would be to decrease the time it takes to produce the energy. This serves a lot of purposes, mutually beneficial between the company and player base:
Spoiler

1) incentivizes players to be more active at random intervals throughout the day without inducing a time-sink effect.

2) allows players the sense of instant-gratification, and encourages a balanced effect of spending crystals several times throughout the day for two runs of energy at a time when checking in, as opposed to all-at-once at daily reset.

3) allows the community to keep up with the 8-cap of hard node battles, at least a little closer to a ratio of being able to do an entire node in one sitting if you sit down to play with max energy and stay engaged for more than 10 minutes. That’s 7 battles, then a wait-time for one battle while you do other stuff like raids/arena/TW/TB. Set aside the 3 intervals of extra energy, also opportunities to purchase a refresh with that boost to complete full nodes at once.

As much I would love extra energy i'm not too sure that the 8 cap on nodes has really changed all that much. It all depends on how much you are trying to farm at once. Just the free energy gives you nearly enough to do a 20 energy node completely. After that it does come down to the age old resource management argument.

@Waqui Given that it takes 160 energy to do 8 hard node battles for sion, talzin and zombie etc.....THIS is the extra stuff i'm referring too. Are you forgetting that they've added extra things like reinforcement abilities to a cantina node now as well meaning that your energy does not go as far it should given the amount we have to spend daily.

Therefore you have to refresh at least once to do all 8 battles. And if like me, and a helluva lot of other people i know, you're trying to farm these hard to acquire characters then this is real drain on your resource management.

And to respond to your other obnoxious comment about the timing of my post.....if CG read everything like they claim to then they will read my post regardless of what time i chose to add to it and will respond in a timely manner of their choosing. Just like i will wait to read said response in my own time, as i wasn't expecting a response immediately
