If getting 3 stars for all levels is your goal, level 847 could be your hurdle. 1st star is awarded around 100k. Yet I couldn't get any more star despite numerous try. I got 8 moves left with 143k in score and still only received 1 star. Go figure!
They do this every hundred levels or so and then claim ignorance as if it's totally a coincidence that the SAME THING keeps happening over and over. As if, by now, after releasing dozens of games and thousands of levels, they still don't know what a reasonable 3 star score is.
Anyway, you're absolutely right. This level will eventually be tweaked after months and months of users complaining and wasting boosters/money trying to pass it.
At this point, however, it's pointless complaining to this greedy, repulsive company. They will just have some unpaid moderator and the legions of naive stans on here come and shout you down for being rude.
And then, in a few months, King will release another level exactly like this, where the 3 star score is absolutely impossible to hit and will claim ignorance all over again.
For the record, I passed with a score of 158K and still only got one star.
Yet another level where the 3-star score is impossible. I've gotten as far as 150K and still only gotten one star. So the level will eventually be tweaked. We know it, King knows it.
So how long do we have to wait before King admits it and actually addresses the situation?
Same here, I've been on it for days without playing the maximum (no booster used nor three free boosters yet for this level) and the score needed to get three stars here is too damn high ! I'm pretty sure that the strategy playing the maximum isn't effective... and I won't lose my time nor any bonus on it.
That's what they're banking on—you trying every day to pass a level with 3 stars that is impossible to pass with 3 stars unless you burn 7-10 boosters. They want to frustrate you into spending money; just don't do it.
It's a con. That level's 3-star score is OBVIOUSLY ridiculous and anyone remotely familiar with these levels or game designs knows it, which means King knows it. I've got the highest score on my leader board by tens of thousands of points and I have one star. Someone on here has *me* beat by tens of thousands of points and he/she has one star. Yet King set the score, released the level, and continues to refuse to tweak it all the while claiming ignorance and "all the levels are designed to be passable with 3 stars; how dare you suggest otherwise!"
This isn't the first time it's happened (see: level 200) nor will it be the last b/c this is King's MO: it has monetized naivete and frustration. Bravo.
