Some stuff I would like to see in eRepublik(1) Energy Bar Slider
•
by Releasethe Krakken
I did a little mock up. Since not everyone is interested in coding I will just show the screenshots of how my idea will work in practice . It took me 24 lines of code to write the mockup and to make it easier to understand I included stuff visually that usually will be hidden to users.
Now reloading energy bars currently in the manual version of the game requires a lot of clicking probably if you keep in enter as with the fight button it takes a few seconds for a energy bar to load during an intense battle like the winter challenge where you got prestige boosters it meant that you where clicking the whole time to load energy and then fighting. Which was a massive schlep which I really didnt like.
So here is the idea :
So at the start of the battle one is at 0 energy and 0 energy in the buffer. As can be seen in this example I have 10000 x 100 energy bars and 2000 x 200 energy bars. Now I dont want to waste time in loading my energy so I introduce a slider in the program I use its called a trackbar.
So say I am on 0 energy
I select I want to use my 100 energy bars and then slide till the end to refill my energy back to 5000
I then click on add energy. The number of energy bars consumed is removed from my total and the energy is added to my total.
This took me about 5 seconds to refill my energy versus the probably 1 or 2 minutes in the game currently.

lol
5000 energy bars i use in app. 8 months, so i have time and 8/5no need for such buttons.. 😛
yeah i dont either it was just an example. better example would be winter challenge which i completed with prestige boosters and continuous flow of new energy bars unlocked. it would speed up gaining energy. gained about 800 k from the winter challenge. but i prefer normal fight mode hardly ever fight but this is a very frustrating and annoying part of the game. and no i dont want to deploy.
Have you ever used deploy? xD
normal mode is faster especially if you are fighting with no weapons. and no i dont like deploy i like clicking on the button feels like im atleast somehow fighting in the game versus deploy which is nothing but bot script. in an epic battle with unlimited eb's i can gain pp way faster than deploy .
To be fair - we do have deployment mode, and the limit of employment (50 EBs/treats/doubles/triples) is intentional as we got some deployment boosters in last anniversary
this is for normal fight mode. deploy is slower than normal fight mode. i would outpace you 10 times with this change and you on deploy.

I have low str so I believe it, sometimes I hit once in ordinary fight mode and lose 600 health in one hit, that's a massive amount of prestige.
That being said, having to spam EB clicks is an obvious disadvantage of fight mode, and if you really want to avoid that you use deploy, which is slower for some.
yep deploy is slower but i dont like deploy. the normal fight mode is still a feature of the game right? . deploy is slow for me i dont know for others perhaps in a country closer to the games servers on better internet it would be fast i think for me time is about 2 to 3 minutes and i can empty 5000 energy in 20 seconds in normal fight mode with a simple trick and low weapons. but like i pointed out 24 lines of code in the mock up. so tweak at most . quickest in an epic battle is full energy chose no weapons chose damage accelerator click on fight hold enter in and then keep it in. you litterally do all of your damage in 20 seconds. but say i want to go for a bh against another player i also want to be as fast as possible . and lets not forget this will reduce processing time in the program . you can try the enter +click trick on energy bars it works but it loads very slowly for me. versus slide click slide click would be rocket speed . anyway thanks for your opinion.
I mean I agree that's why I voted the article, I would love an option like that. Less PP boosters to get more prestige, and it def would be easier on the servers. I
Your "trick" only works because your rank is so low.
no if you dont have weps you consume more energy per click. its so for all players. and trick works for all players. yes if i use q7 weps it takes a little bit longer but not that much. anyway i dont like deploy and this would improve the manual thing without affecting gameplay for those that like deploy in fact you could flap away all of the controls and reopen it as well easily. it wouldnt clutter the battlefield .
Yeah, that's partially true, but i barely ever take 5 hits for a kill even with no weapons because of strength/rank.
well that is good but not all players are legend.
anyway because deploy has a slider it doesnt mean people that prefer the manual thing like clicking 200 times on energy bars to load 50. plato has always eliminated schlep so i cant see the problem it just improves a current feature. its a tweak at most . you can hide stuff in the menu to your right. ok enough said there is always haters to every idea.
i'm more a producer who sometimes fight and i dont use scripts so rank is not important for me. i will eventually get to legend . there is no rush for me. oh and i have used deploy it sucks .
to comm or not to?
oh read the next article. still good idea in my opinion but if you want to post something negative vark off.
