Deryck Level 5

@QueenB Like the most recent All Stars, this latest Candy Cup is not in my game. At least this time the relevant candy color changed over to the new design (green trophies). However, I suspect I won't get the event regardless. I don't mind; I think I'll take another break from new levels again. I'm more irked by what I…

I've also gotten it consecutive days this past week. Today's my 4th day IIRC. Personally, I hope it stays. Not only does it have the benefit you mention, but I also quite like getting that party popper and UFO every day. I'd post how to easily beat it, but then King might make it harder—or remove it entirely. hint: it's…

It seems we have different experiences. I've always gotten a hammer from the episode milestone in the event I already had full lives. I only get the +5…

In fact it reliably happens whenever I fail my first level after logging in." I can confirm experiencing your 2nd sentence. But of the 1st…

Indeed @christinewupp! I find the game algorithm is more likely to throw players a lucky board if they begin a level with boosters—even not-so-good boosters like these haha. (of course it's up to the discerning player to make the right moves…😉) BTW while it may be tempting to hold on to your stored lives after burning…

😮Never seen this. What device do you play on, @Peter_Tornaros? Perhaps a new "test" feature…

Nope, @Kerrie. Per my new strategy on the last page, I'm always at a deficit of lives these days. 😄 And yes please! I might play an episode tonight, so they'll come in handy.

Yes @Colleen12, your sent lives have been invaluable to me too. Scanning my envelope, these are users I recall from the community whose lives I've received: @christinewupp, @Alienscar, @Carol-38, @Kerrie, @nekocat, Janka, tifa, and Player with the raccoon bandit avatar (not actually sure if they're a community member, but…

@QueenB Regarding what was said in the most recent pages, Sneaky Melon Duck was/is always the 1st name in the Friends list. I've never seen it in any other position in my list, and I've never seen more than one SMD. Anyway, thanks to everyone here sending me lives especially @cookiemae! My Win10 app was buggy a few weeks…

I haven't seen it in a few weeks but will post if it appears again. Funny thing, when I used the "add friends" feature once, the player name "Melon Duck" appeared in the list. Either the glitch is spreading, it's a bot, or a real person's impersonating the Sneaky Melon Duck. 😆

1. Metallic and brilliant

Entry 2, 4 of a kind playing latest Episode Race 😎:

Missed the exact 25-mark, but I have: Does that count?

Entry 1, 2 pairs:

2. Orchestra Also, @AudioTeam finally I know who to address re. this issue! : On PC only, all game sound (both music & sound effects) is muted when I minimize and recall the app. When opening the game straight away, the sound plays fine though. This issue doesn't exist on mobile, only the Win app.

I wonder if it has to do with players' current levels, @cookiemae. Maybe you're offered 30 in yours due to being so high up in the game, as an incentive. But that doesn't explain why Alienscar's box gives 15 while I'm offered 20; he's in the 6,000 levels while I'm in the 3,000s. If anything, I should get the lesser prize.…

This was the actual reason for the 40 gold bars. Mobile is at least forthcoming about things; there was a pop-up announcement that Chocolate Box would double its rewards over the weekend. Due to so many popups in the game, people tend to X things out either accidentally or deliberately without thought though. The PC app…

So it's still King's money in other words. 😕 Seems it'd have been a lot simpler just to give a big gold bar prize. After all, what else can one buy with a Candy Crush gift card?? A gift card would only be useful if Candy Crush had an actual, physical store that sold candy/merchandise. Or am I missing something here? 🤷‍♂️

Thanks @bearwithme, useful indeed. As far as I know, community members can't start a thread in this forum section, so I couldn't think of where else to ask. I actually do want to share my 25 race streak for the badge (why I selected/opened your thread). But it'll have to wait till I'm on my home PC. 😀
