Let the free energy at the resets be claimable for longer than 2 hours

You know how the free energy at the resets (12:00 noon, 6:00 p.m. 9:00 p.m.) expires and can no longer be claimed after two hours? 

Yeah, we don't need that anymore. 

I've recently returned to the game after taking a few years off, and in general, the game is much more friendly to real-life schedules than it used to be. There's no more pressure to climb in the half hour before arena payouts, no more needing to jump on a raid as soon it starts, etc. The game now isn't as obsessed with making you get on at certain times. It's much easier to have a real life and play the game. 

But the reset energy expiring after two hours is a last vestige of the old mentality. If you still want to incentivize engagement multiple times throughout the day, just let the energy expire at the next reset. It ought to be claimable anytime between.

    CG wants engagement in the game just like any other Dev. You have KPIs at work just like they do. One way they get engagement is by giving away energy. 

    Your suggestion would reduce that "investment" by 33%. Instead of 3 logins you'd be able to log in only at 5:59 and 9pm instead. Of course doing this you're already wasting energy from it being capped but you do you.

    No this game is a job. It should be a game. The hundreds of dollars I spent isn't enough, I have to also play it several times a day when they say so. I take it back. I get paid to work...

    Yes you should. Being able to change the time you receive them is absolutely "friendly to real-time schedules", and the fact your timing isn't convenient to you is due to you choosing the wrong times for your resets.

    But yeah its CGs fault....talk about entitled.


  • I've been saying for years that they need to just consolidate the 6 free bonus energy rewards into a single time each day & have it expire 24 hours later.

    And changing the time isn't a fix really.

    There is SOOO much in this game that is based on specific times.

    Do we really need these little freebies to also be set to different times?

    If I'm online for TB/TW before lunch do I also need to log in after lunch for my triple 45's?

    If I get into squad fleet early so I can attend a movie that night do I need to miss the energy or leave theater or open phone mid-movie to claim the double 45's?

    Your already stuck checking stores 4x a day if your looking for specific items.

    It would be nice if you could do all these small tasks at the same time your doing larger ones (GAC) and not have to log in separately just to claim the energy after the fact.

     

  • I like this idea - small change, but a major QoL impact for people whose schedules don't offer as much flexibility.

    That might help. But I shouldn't have to. There's no reason for it. 

  • If you can’t take a two minute break during those times, I suggest changing your reset time
