    @Lola_Pop can you please answer my question I'm not they only one asking. Why is it so hard to advance now? Our opponents side is stacked with candies most of the time we dont have a chance. I'm not the only one having this issue. Used to be able to get a small streak now lucky to win 2 in a row.

    @dc2015 you're definitely not the only one. The struggle is real. I advance but only usually to mini starburst, if not that, extra mini, but it takes the whole tournament to reach that level. I got starburst a few tournaments back but I swear it was luck because that never happens to me anymore these days or these months. I think they adjust the formula to make us try harder ๐Ÿ˜† if thats even possible since that's what we're doing already. @Lola_Pop Maybe can help us better understand when she gets this notification. ๐Ÿฅฐ

    @jjac272903 I only had 125 points this last round I played alot but just couldn't advance at all. I usually get between 300 to 350 on a lucky round I'm not sure what's going on but its definitely harder to win now.

    The boards get tweaked I'm almost positive. I dont know how it's done but things have changed so I know they've made the game more...challenging I'll just say because I dont want to use another word. I get about that amount too but sometimes I dont even make it to 100. That really makes me feel like a failure but I know my skills cannot be getting worse. The game has become trickier if thats a word I can use to describe it. ๐Ÿ˜’ @dc2010

    Hang in there girl. Hopefully, at some point, it will get back to where the boards are fair. Just because we are up in score in a game and cage someone (who does not have a candy/color bomb already in place prior to the cage,) doesn't mean that that oppoment then deserves a color bomb when its the opponentโ€™s turn. Thats what I'm seeing a lot.

    @jjac272903 I've noticed that also I will make a move all the way in the far corner and then when it's my opponents turn they magically get a color bomb dropped and its usually by a fish or stripped candy that wasnt there before almost every single time that's how they win. I just want a fair chance. Is that to much to ask for?๐Ÿ˜ข

    Hi everybody!

    I have the same situation as you, many times I loose because my opponent gets colorbombs from the sky next to fish etc. Many times I loose on the last game before advancing on next level! Sometimes it is noticeable that opponents have no skills because they make obvious mistakes, but they win because they get many colorbombs from the sky or cage me 3-4 times because of many red/blue candies!

    Yesterday I advanced for 1st time on peacock level and I want to share my experience:

    1st day: I got unlimited advancing on starburst.

    2nd day: playing unlimited advanced easily on purple starburst and then I was trying 3 hours to go to peacock, loosing several times on 4th, 5th or 6th game. At last advanced on peacock and had a rest for several hours. Unlimited was lost, so I played some games, but as a miracle, I had easy opponents and proceeded on next peacock!

    3rd day: I continued playing, loosing only 2 times, playing against easy and not aggressive opponents, (having not in mind only to cage me), and proceeded 2 times more, on the last peacock levels, where there is no change!

    I don' t know, but maybe the algorithm advances players who are on peacock level! Maybe this was luck of 1st time! ๐Ÿ˜€

    I am sure that when is starts again, I am going to loose the 1st game! ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜†

    Something interesting just happened. I played a guy called George, won, started another game almost immediately and it's George again. Same name, same avatar. No biggie, it's happened before. But what is strange is it says George has a 5 winning streak at the beginning of the second game, right after I beat him. So now what I'm curious about is: how is it possible to keep a winning streak even after you've just lost a game?

    Maybe he used gold bars to keep win streak!
