So... Here is the scenario... when I try to use an energy packet, but I still have to wait because it hasn't been long enough since I used them all (20 hours or 24 or whatever the timer is).

It used to show you the amount of time you needed to wait for your energy to become available. Now it shows "Oops... it looks like something went wrong internally" and there is a More details button to click. Clicking the More details opens up another line that tells us how long we need to wait before we can use the energy packets again.

I'd really like to see this changed back so that the info is displayed automatically and the extra click is not needed. Thanks!

click the plus sign, it will still show you how long, but now you have to click first, waste of precious milliseconds that will never come back I say.

I think they did it to make the programming easier and more modular and logical, but less user friendly is the outcome.

Oh, and yes, I prefer not having to be forced to try to use energy just in order to know that I can't use energy right now. Seeing if you can before even trying was the right way to go.

Oh, I should say that this is not logical, and it is not modular, and it is not easier to program, otherwise they would have done exactly the same thing for buying energy with gold and gems, i.e. you are not forced to have to try to buy them to know whether or not you can, they have a tooltip with a countdown timer, and they are greyed out while you are in the non-buyable time period.

Please, have some logical consistency here.

Consistency?! Raymond, surely you're not over your love of inconsistency?!? ;->
