Royal Championship - What do you think?

npetrik · February 2021

What are everyone’s thoughts in regards to the recent changes related to the treasure boxes now having a countdown (depending on how many rounds you’ve completed it ranges anywhere that I’ve seen from 30mins to 6 hours), unless you use gold bars (that you have to pay for) to unlock them early. Although it does give you the ability to still play and climb up the leaderboard, I enjoy playing for the sole reason of unlocking items to help me in the main game. I’m not going to lie, I frequently am already paying for unlimited lives if my “piggy bank” is full and I only need to pay the $2.99. This recent change has driven me away from the game and am hoping that many people feel the same and maybe this will be only temporary!?

My biggest complaint is that something we used to be able to do before is now something we must pay for without the game maker adding more value. In the marketing world this is shortsighted.

I completely agree. More and more game apps are finding a way to make users pay more money for certain features, features that up until that point they were able to offer players for free. The Candy Crush Jelly Saga became even more of my favorite game when they added the Royal Championship. This new added feature that makes you wait or pay to access the rewards early is just causing me to not want to play altogether.

Maybe not spending them? 🙂😉

Developers work ... their desire is to make money. I do wish there were more incentives and less crashes

I get that but they were managing just fine before adding in yet another things for users to pay for. In my opinion they are going to start losing the users (like me) who will pay for unlimited lives sure, but I’m not going to keep throwing my money at an endless battle with these countdowns, especially with increased amount of gold bars required the farther along you get.

As long as I play, more than a year, I see more and more players paying for unlimited! As long as players spend money, the developers are not going to change anything!
