Best Of

I'm shocked that they are testing the x30 token. The x5 one is okay-ish, the x30 is overkill. The outcome of the event is completely dependent on who King assign to your group in every round and how many of them use a token. It's not right when the luck of the draw completely outweighs your own efforts. Furthermore, what's the point of having a 3-day round if the outcome depends on how many players push the 'I win' button in the last 2-3 hours? The whole round is reduced to a 2-hour blitz. It may appeal to late starters, but it's still not right.

I do believe King are testing this as an idea to be used in All-Stars, but I am at a loss as to exactly why they need those tokens. Perhaps the idea is to put one player in each group who will use a token and thus bait or force others to do the same, which will heat up the situation and make the competition more fierce. There have always been people who scored over a million in qualifiers and were proud of it. King are testing their predictive algorithm to single out such players, maybe? Bottom line: those who don't stand a chance in the final round will use their tokens and force those who would otherwise stand a chance to use them too. The outcome will be a lottery.

We are getting a lot more widgets on our maps, and even though many think it's an awful change, it's quite possible King will still carry on with it.

It's a shame the widget features on our maps couldn't go back in Events all nice and tidy, and widgets used for more helpful things.

It has been asked many times, over the years if the sending of lives could be simplified and put back to sending to all, all in one go. Really shouldn't be a big task for King to do, they manage to change things that don't need changing, so why can't they change things that would be really helpful.

But while waiting for that to be done, I think a widget could be helpful explaining to players how to send lives.

I am not suggesting this for myself personally as I receive many lives from many who do know how to send them. But looking through my Friends List, where 0 is shown next to lives sent, I'm sure there are many players who don't know how to do it. We have also seen many posts from others not receiving lives from those in their Friends Lists. Could be a fault with the system, could also be because many don't know how to do it. It's possible many new players click on the Social (formally Friends) tag at the bottom of their maps. But how many would know they have to click on each person to open their Player Card and send a life?

It's more than possible @QueenB I'm wasting my time, but instead of unnecessary widgets of features that could quite easily sit nicely again in Events, something like the following could be added, giving easy instructions. This one is to do with - yes you've guessed right - Lives.

Add a widget to the map saying LIVES, I've popped an example under my Chocolate Box.

That would get the interest of many, and once clicked on, something like the following could be shown.

For those who already know, or once learnt how to do it, that would be fine, they just wouldn't click on the widget again.

I know I have suggested this before, and I know that when I did, I made a bit of a mess showing what I was trying to say, so I'm giving it another go. Also after posting before, I never got any feedback on what I put.

It's not a ten minute task for me to do something like this, so it would be more than nice to know if it gets put to the Studio and their thoughts. I would be happy with any response, on whether it's a helpful suggestion and they'll look at it, or if King aren't interested at all. Just to know one way or the other would be nice.

PHEW didn't I go on, sorry but I think it could be helpful 🤔

Nicely written…100% agree!

100% correct again @christinewupp And even though I've never had All Stars, for whatever reason, and I wouldn't play it even if I did, so not a problem for me, this needs to be sorted for those who do.

I know what it's like when playing my normal game, annoying. So I'd dread to think what it would be like for those seriously playing All Stars. Again as you said, there are many who know how to and can skip such things and also probably many who don't get them. Hopefully King will listen and take action 🙄

@QueenB Here comes a plea about the amount of animations between levels and between episodes currently in our games. Many of the animations can no longer be skipped through, like this one which in my iPhone game comes first:

This is the most annoying of them all to me. To me watching these quests fill up is absolutely pointless and a time waster. Then follows this:

then this:

which is us watching the widgets move on. It cannot be skipped and we now have to wait for our avatar (or flower) to move up to the next level:

Now that my flower has finally reached the new level, instead of being able to click on the level I see this pop up:

Why???

The minimum time taken for between level animations is 16 seconds in this account. The chocolate box or lucky egg animations add another 5 seconds, the end of episode animations add 15 seconds at least. This all adds up to over five minutes of pointless animations per episode.

Given that the winner of All Stars is going to be whoever can play through each episode the fastest, and some of us can do so in under ten minutes, five minutes of animations adds one third of the total time taken, that means King control who wins All Stars by the type of animations they add to players' games, and I know that this differs between accounts.

Have you read those posts in the other thread which are some of us debating ways to cheat the game and skip some of these animations by wild clicking methods in odd parts of the screen? Apparently there is a way to do this so is this what we need to now practise rather than how to crush the most purple candies? Should the winner of All Stars really be the player who can figure out how to out-click the animations the fastest?

So my plea is that please can you send some feedback to the team and can they please make sure this animations overkill gets sorted before All Stars, so that the event will actually find the best players. Unless King really do just want it to be a lottery this year?

I'll tag @GiggzZz on this as well. Hope you agree with me on this.
