Don't worry about the post below, it looks like Zynga corrected the Mini Energy Pack problem by removing them from all accounts. That was fast! You can't blame me, they were aware of it earlier in the day. Now that we are all on the same playing field again, here are examples of why players miss the Mini Energy packs. The first account is from AMafia King and the second from Leonard Wong. You can see they are both wasting a lot of energy.

What was the mini pack problem? I loved that option!
ReplyDeleteWhy would someone waste their energy pack? Just wait a bit until you level up and then use it.
ReplyDeletemaybe he's built for finishing jobs in all cities and not in "fight" skills....those of us who are fighters and finished the cities don't miss the so called mini packs at all....the less u have for skill att/def the sooner u can level up...maybe the ones who have low att/def skills are now complaining about removing mini packs? 6 mini packs=150% per day compared to 3 full energy re-fills per day totaling....325% :-D
ReplyDeleteThe main problem with them for me was having to constantly beg for them. I got to where I just stopped using them all together. Since I don't have anywhere near 10,000 energy I don't have the wasting energy problem.
ReplyDeleteFighter accounts don't mind the change. Since we have less energy, the big packs are used very effectively.
ReplyDeletewhy cant they come up with a better idea then removing them entirely and bring a burden of collecting it every 8 hours, they could have planned like brazil crew increase a slots,put a time, and easy ways to collection them like getting from doing jobs and stuff and a link to the profile instead of begging individuals.

ReplyDeleteI see what you're saying. I only play a couple of hours a day, so I generally only use one regular energy pack per day and having six mini-packs not only allowed to me to space them out efficiently it also gave me a +25% that I otherwise wouldn't get.
Heard a lot of negatives about the mini's. I didn't see it that way. It was very efficient to use partial boosts to optimize the amount of stats leftover on the level up. Not seeing a downside that remotely outweighs that benefit. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteok if you have 17kE of course your gonna waste alot of nrg. i loved the control with minis abd the attached mbags were also nice but hated the begging spamming and clicking.
ReplyDeleteuse e-pack's wisely and strategically ;)
ReplyDeleteI preferred A LOT the Mini Energy packs. They were far more tactical and useful to level up at least in my situation (Lev 560+, Energy 1700+). The new +125% means that anyway I do, I end up wasting undreds of energy at a time. I really don't understand how a 8hours big boost can be better than many smaller ones.
