Energy

We're getting more energy, guys. An entire new type of energy in fact. :p

@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.

The amount of energy goes axactly as far as it always did. You can do the exact same amount af battles (assuming the same energy cost per node).

They have added things to farm and removed others, yes, but why should that justify a demand to do more battles? We were simply given more options to choose from. And they increased the number of battles per node fra 3 to 8, yes, but again: Why should that justify a demand to do more battles per day?

Following your logic, a mid level player should have much more energy, since there are so many things to farm, whereas long—time players, who've completed most of the farmable characters should have less energy, since we don't have much left to farm.

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.

As always, you need to manage your resources. Crystals and energy are some of those resources. If you can't have it all, then you need to decide what to farm today and what to leave for future farming. That's essential to the game.

There is only one way they have ever increased the energy cap.....

If you think a level cap increase will give you "less to do" you are sorely mistaken.

There isnt really more to do, just more you can do. But dont worry it's coming. Like it or not, this year we will see at least 2 of 3 things, level cap increase, gear level increase, higher for mods.

thanks for the clarification @Kyno I i'm not bothered about a level cap increase....just solely the energy cap increase. There just isn't enough energy to go round. We've had multiple power creeps and many many content updates etc, yet the energy level has remained at 144 since game launch 2.5 years ago

Yeah, that is correct.

Energy is just one more layer of resources that need to be managed.

If/when we do get more energy, it wont be much so I dont think it will help. They would also need to rebalance the 600/30k relationship. I cant imagine they will want people to get full tickets without buying a refresh.
