Deleting (or emptying) my posts critiquing dark legends.

Sorry for stealing your words there but It describes what I feel.

I really liked how the game looks and plays.

But I do like to grind it out in PL and get to high levels and play constantly. Instead of playing a few hours of Xbox, I played PL and grinded it out with some in game friends. Now with the new energy system I can't do that. I have to play use up my energy then play again. Its flawed system.

Here is what I think.

In PocketLegends the more casual players wouldn't buy that 3x xp potion things. How ever some of the more hardcore players would in the end game.

In DL the more casual player probably still won't buy that extra energy and just leave. How ever the more hardcore players will not become hardcore due to the fact that it takes money to level up to the end game.

And the fact that you can just outright buy xp is wrong.

Every time you level, the Max Energy count should go up some. Would easily fix the problem...

I'm moving this here from another post. This is my take on energy. Just my opinion of course.

Yesterday there was outrage all over the forums and in game about it. My opinion on it... I love it. It was a little confusing at first, but now that I understand it I love it. It gives me a chance to spend 15 minutes in the game, then go do something else. Then come back again. Or, if I don't have much time and I just want to use my energy, I can get some quick experience by executing an non mission action. Its pretty cool.

Now let me say, the main issue I see here is that it will create a large gap between plat and not plat buyers. Given the increased price (drastically I might add) of platinum, the gap could get very large. To the point where you could say it is borderline FTP.

You love a mechanic that prevents players from actually being able to play for more than a few minutes at a time--in an F2P game--without being forced to spend money? There's nothing preventing any players from logging out at will without such a feature.

Also, I don't think it'll create a gap between plat and non-plat buyers. I think it'll prevent more people from buying plat who otherwise would have. I'd happily drop $50 for vanity gear, in general, but there's no possibility I'll spend any money on DL while the current energy mechanic is in place.

I personally love it because it prevents me from playing it constantly.

As for the gap, you'd then be part of the non-plat buyers. Whether or not you by plat wouldn't affect the gap that will build. Those that buy it will have a much greater opportunity to advance faster and to look "cooler".
