The way that energy packs are done in BW1 completely rocks...

No posting to Facebook walls - just clicking the red bottle to send all your friends (who need it) an energy pack.

Please, please consider copying that mechanism for BW2.
Also, the way that Sasha (in BW1) can show you all friends who need help with their "friendship token tasks" (the giant, the treasure chests, and the building up of rooms for your house) would be great to see in BW2, as well. Sasha is already there (in BW2) - any chance of copying that functionality into BW2, as well?

I agree. It's such a great feature that you don't have to beg your friends for energy packs - that they can just send you one if they like.

Totally agree.
I hate to ask friends for every base thing, even though it was great in first part.

Marc a similar thing that Sasha does in bw1 can be found on the bottom left of your screen, next to invite ppl there is a refresh thingy and under it something that looks like a talk-bubble, click on the bubble and all active req recieved from friends can be found there.

Thanks -- that helps somewhat -- it just doesn't work in full-screen mode, so I have to remember to leave that to actually see the requests. :-)

Yeah the energy packs i do not like in this one. The red bottle that just one click sends to all friends was much easier then begging for energy :P

Yes I like how it works on BW1 and what happened to getting 1 full pack.

I agree, I don[t like the way you have to request an energy pack in BW 2. Absolutely loved the feature in BW 1, please can we have a feature like that in BW 2 as well?

Hmm -- as said above, accepting request for help can be done in one place without moving your character to another area to find Sasha. Moving in BW2 is a problem already as you can only go to the start of an area and have to walk through all the fields to get to any other place in that area -- gonna be a pain when there's an event and we need to keep going to the fair ground to get repeatable quests (if that happens in BW2).

The energy packs -- we get 25 x 10% base energy / 20 hour 'day' in BW2. I don't like that 'base' energy thing -- in BW1 if we gained max energy by working hard to get ribbons in events then all energy packs were based on that total energy.

BW1 grants 1 x 100% energy and 5 x 20% energy (+ a bonus of a small percentage on the large pack -- not certain what that is or why). BW2 grants 25 x 10% energy (albeit base energy, not total), so that is actuially more energy for free than in BW1.

I do however agree that the need to request energy packs, rather than have the friend see you need it and send it without any spam, is not good for this or any game :(
