BTW, I'm not trying to remove energy altogether, so hear me out!
Okay, this energy idea, Sega and OOO, was a fiasco. I know that Spiral Knights should be played a little at a time, but this is ridiculous!
I propose two ideas: that any energy should be able to be stored infinitely, that one CE should be worth 10 ME, and that the energy refill time should be cut in half. I mean, say that I go on vacation for three days without my laptop (which I'm actually doing :P). Thus, I miss out on at least three hours of Spiral Knights time, and my energy meter tops out at that time. In other words, if you're going to pay people for resting the controls, why have it top out? At least transfer it into crowns!
Uhm. Well that's my only example. :P
I'll post later.
I is sick of current energy rules! (Some better but still restrictive energy ideas.)
Whoa whoa whoa, look at the CE prices for starters; at best, you get 400 CE per dollar. So let's go down to pac-man terms. Thats 100 energy per quarter. Plus you get a free 100 energy per day. That's like my local pac-man machine, but I get a free game per day. On top of that, 100 mist will last longer than the average 25 cent arcade game. On top of that you get near free bomberman that requires no gear. You'll never lose money really if you sell enamorock with your krogmo coins, it only costs 10 of them, and I've seen it somehow sell for over 2k crowns. Seriously, you could lose all 10 matches and get it for less.
Why admins wont make sticky topics with big capitalized titles:
"NO HEALING WEAPONS"
"NO CHANGES TO ENERGY SYSTEM"
-.-
Modification that would allow you to store more and more mist or transfer it into crowns CE would lead to massive abuses and destabilization of economy. Modifications in game to prevent abuses would hurt 'lawabiding' players instead of actually preventing abuses.
And please dont post later, at least not anything about this idea.
Nope and here's why.
You are allowed 3 profiles, should this happen, a person can spend 5 dollars, 2.5 on two profiles and let two of them just sit. Then, when ever the person needs some CE or crowns, they mail it to their main account for about 100 crowns total. Doing the full 3 accounts, you get 40 free CE a day, with the doubled regen rate and 10;1 ME-CE ratio you provided. Definitely exploitable.
I have done this myself when I started over, crafted some 3* stuff and mailed it to my new knight on steam.
