Is the player base demanding too much?
As a game to an incoming player it has a lot to do. The beef comes from the older accounts. I don't believe anyone complaining is still working on Traya. Perhaps the players, including myse...

Honestly, that right there is one of my biggest complaints about this "game".
And I'm not an old player, its only been 14 months.
The whole "stores" refresh at 6-12-6-9-12
Arenas at 6 & 7
Raids launch at this time.
TB/TW/GAC at that time.
Honestly, to me there is entirely TOO much to do in this game on your "typical" day, & yet, not nearly enough to do on a day when you just want to veg out & play a lot.
I see why people want a "sandbox" for 2 reason.
1. To test teams against arena quality teams.
2. To be able to sit down & do fight after fight when YOU want to do it.
Maybe YOU have time to do a bunch of gaming at Noon, and you want to do 20-30 fights in a row to pass the time.
But the game doesn't let you do that.
The game forces you (rewards you) to do your fights in your final payout hour.
It limits you do just 5 fights w/o you having to cough up crystals.
The game is actually VERY annoying to me in the way it makes you rearrange your schedule, so the point that, to me, its not a game, its a chore, and its not fun.
And their timing of events just always boggles me.
A Saturday will have nothing but an Omega battle for me to do when I have the day off.
But a Wednesday when I have work all day & then Dinner & a meeting of the Home Owners Association at 7PM will be the day they launch both an Assault Battle & a Mythic Battle that I'm trying to cram in by midnight & loosing sleep.
The entire set up of tick tick energy for the day but then your capped after 1/2 a day of earning it forcing you to sign on every few hours is a horrible set up from the start.
And the sad thing is, SO much of that tedium could be removed with just a few changes.
1. Grant 4 free "refreshes" of the stores every "day" & stop the stores from refreshing.
So you can see the same # of items but do it on your time.
2. Increase the Energy Cap. Set it build up for a few days.
The formula is Level + 59. Change it to "Level *5 + 100"
That way if we miss a day no biggy you can just play longer later.
Those are just 2 above that could be fixed easily, IMHO, to allow for less logging in or more logging in when you WANT to log in.
For me anyway it feels like I'd have more fun w/ Tetris on my phone for quick distractions & a REAL game like Starcraft-2 on my PC for when I want to play for a couple hours.
I’m glad someone is still using their noggin and offering constructive suggestions like these and not just grabbing a pitchfork and tying CG at the stake.
This is exactly what I feel. Everything is scheduled in this game in so much that you feel that you need to have to constantly have the game at the back of your mind if you want to stay competitive. I mean in order to get our free 45 energy you need to have us log in at a certain time in order to promote playing but the thing is there’s not enough to do in the game anyway. I login at certain times a day and I’m done, as I can do the daily objectives in a couple of minutes and then I’m stuck trying to find something to do in the game like mindlessly scavenging for relic parts or trying to check every character to see if I have extra gear to upgrade them.
It’s sad when a game is supposed to be fun and can play anytime is making me stressed as I have to conform to a set schedule for everything has absolutely no sense at all.
