This game is Severely flawed.  I loved playing this game a year ago when it first came out.  A lot of that enthusiasm is gone & it may not ever come back.  I agree with a lot of what has already been said & I have commented similarly about some things in various other threads on this board.  I really really miss the old days when I could just collect stickers or fragments or whatever they’re called upon completing quests & levels & chapters, etc.  That is virtually non-existent now.  I originally brought up the differences in the game here:

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-friends-saga/discussion/257021/does-this-game-run-differently-for-everyone/p1

 I’ve also discussed these various issues in the thread asking for feedback on Quests.  Nothing has changed.  I’ve been told our feedback is important & that they want to improve the game play for everyone, but the same problems keep occurring over & over again.

 Frankly, I’m not sure the game & some of the events live up to the hype, that the creators & king members think they do.  No doubt they have created a great game & there is a lot of fun to had, but it is also deeply, incredibly flawed.  There seems to be a lot of focus on the wrong things.  Many ideas, that have been repeatedly mentioned on here, all of which would be beneficial to the players of the game, without taking away from the integrity of the game, seem to be ignored while other “less important” ideas move forward.

 Now, speaking specifically about this Rachel event, personally, I’m not a huge fan, for a few reasons, many of which have already been mentioned above.  I like the character itself, & as I’ve stated numerous times on here I always like when there are new characters & costumes, as collecting them is a chief enjoyment for me in playing this game.  The power is definitely interesting & unique, & there is a bit of a learning curve, however, it also doesn’t always seem to work as it should or as one would wish it to.  It is directional, so the direction you use to switch the candies matters, & also because of this, if you desire to switch it with a certain candy depending on where it falls on the board, it often doesn’t do much If you are blocked or against a wall on some sides.

 Going back to the post about this game being different for everyone, I also agree with the commet that a new character with a new power is a fundamental component of the game & not having it available to everyone completely ruins your game, as everyone playing has a difference experience & changes what & how they are able to play. You really need to step back & think if you can’t make something available for everyone, should it be available for anyone, or maybe it can be available in another form for other players.  Like the Odus Challenge only being available to mobile players & then offering an exclusive costume.  As I mentioned in my comment about the quests, perhaps Windows 10 & other users could have had the option to collect stickers/fragments, which they earn from completing quests, which basically makes it the same thing.

 I also agree with above posters about the difficultly of some of the levels.  Further, I grew tired of using Rachel on some of these levels, when I felt other characters may have worked better.  Knowing that there was a star challenge coming after the completion of the side levels, I was reluctant to play much of the main levels, because if I beat the level it wouldn’t count towards my needed total of stars.  This also cause interference in completing the daily quests, mainly the character driven ones, as I had no choose but to take time away from the Rachel levels to play other levels in between.

 My next point is a question/observation.  I sometimes play on multiple platforms.  I have Windows 10 on two laptops & I borrow my wife’s Samsung phone on occasion.  The game isn’t syncing.  Progress on one computer isn’t transferring over to the other.  I have the Star chaser on one computer & the other is still showing Rachel event.  I’m concerned that levels completed & stars earned on a different device won’t transfer over.  Am I only supposed to use 1 device during this two week period?  What happens if I don’t hit 45 stars by the end of the event?  What if I’m over 45 stars between multiple star chasers?

 Finally, as an alternative for the future, as I’m sure there will be more events like this to come no matter what I say, & even with my personal distaste for them, I know others seem enjoy them, I would suggest having the lives received/used in the main game & the side levels run separately from each other.  This will allow for more game play & to go back and forth.  I know that other King games, such as Bubble Witch 3 & Farm Heroes, operate this way.

Don't worry @Foley1362 .
I read that after you complete the first part of this challenge which is completing the 10 special levels with Rachel, I will gonna go back in the main map and the Star Chase Event will appear and in order to get Rachel, I will need 45 stars in total right?
