Level 847 - Can't get more than 1 star

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!

    Yet another naked money/booster grab by King.

    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.

    IT IS A CON AND KING KNOWS IT.
  • Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?

    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?

    Hello @QueenMia, I totally agree that the level needs to be tweaked. I have a score of 170k and yet only 1 star. I'm trying every day but no success.

    I promise when I get to this level three stars. I do not think anything is wrong.
  • AjelsanAjelsan Posts: 21 Level 2
    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.

    Hello @QueenMia - what is the update on this level.......will the studio tweak it or not.......I'm still trying everyday. ......

    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.

    Hello @QueenMia
    I'm really surprised that 2 weeks have passed and yet there is no update on this. Will the studio take it up or not ??

    Hello @Andrew_Endymion

    Did you succeed in getting the 3 star .....
  • KingChewyKingChewy Posts: 13,711 Sweet Legend
    @Veeresh - long time no talk. Why is it so important to you and @Andrew_Endymion to get 3 stars on every level??  Truly curious as I for one just enjoy the satisfaction of beating a level.

    @Foley1362 @Veeresh @QueenMia

    I can't speak for Veeresh, but I will tell you for 2 reasons:

    A. B/c I beat every level fairly quickly—when they're fairly designed—so beating the 3 star score is how I draw the satisfaction from the game that you draw by beating each level.

    B. B/c King advertises the 3 star scores as scores that are attainable via reasonable game play and no boosters. These things are OBVIOUS LIES. So I continue to hammer at them to demonstrate that KING IS LYING TO ITS CUSTOMERS and using either paid or unpaid stans on here to run interference.

    And, FYI, good luck on 941. I've now played it 15 straight times using the recommended avatar and have only come close to passing it twice. In other words, King has graduated to designing absurd levels, not just absurd 3 star scores.

    But I'm sure the sycophants around here will find some way to excuse King's obviously fraudulent behavior.

    FYI, Queen, still no upgrade. King has released at least 160 levels, including the silly Valentine nonsense, yet can't trouble itself to simply tweak a score.

    But I know, I know, King totally cares about its customers and would never ever do anything to abuse them. Perish the thought.

    What a garbage company and anyone who says otherwise is paid to say otherwise—either in money or merch.

    Sorry to hear you feel that way @Andrew_Endymion!

    Good luck on your 3 ⭐️ hunt

    Hello @Foley1362 - I was inactive for more than 2 weeks and hence no interaction between us. I totally agree with @Andrew_Endymion that obtaining a 3⭐is totally for your personal satisfaction. I believe that if King has developed a level than I will never hesitate in trying to obtain the 3⭐as long as it is achievable with fair means and not being dependent on boosters. 
    Since @QueenMia hasn't provided any update on this, it is obvious that the studio isn't interested in the interests of theit loyal players. I wonder if the developers are setting the scores blindly or doing it on purpose. .......even a mail sent to them is unanswered. ........keeping my fingers crossed for a positive outcome.
  • KingChewyKingChewy Posts: 13,711 Sweet Legend
    Hi @Veeresh @Andrew_Endymion - I hope both of you are having a nice day. I totally understand the satisfaction of a 3 ⭐️. I’ve participated in the hunt both on threads and game on such levels as 169 and 200 before. But if I don’t obtain a 3 ⭐️ it does not prevent me from enjoying other aspects of the game and community.

    What I also don’t understand is the complexity of the issue from the studios point of view in terms of testing and implementation and the level of frustration that some loyal players can get to because of a perceived lack of response or fix in a period or time that is acceptable to the eye of the beholder. 

    We we can go round and round on this forever but like I said before I was just truly curious.

    Best of luck on your hunt for 3 ⭐️ gentlemen!!
