I think the boosters help more at the start since u get about 5 of them and they're there every round as long as you keep the streak, compared to buying individual boosters in the game once it's started. I also use the streak boosters to help win the episode race gold bars. I usually end up winning a few more gold bars than i spent or cutting even, and winning each episode race. I was just doubting because as of late for the All Stars competition, it's take a lot more gold bars than usual to keep the streak, and I've also never received the option to watch ads for extra moves, which would be useful. Are you also excluded from ads?

Appreciate ur reply 💖

Hello @majo_riverabaeza pre-level selectable boosters (Colour Bomb, Fish, etc) being locked (not available for use) at the start for a particular level is not related to the All Stars, but just part of the general game design. Being on level 19127 not being able to select boosters at the start of a level is something you should have seen many times previously.

If by boosters you actually mean that you do not have any multiplier tokens available then this will be because you have used all six of your supplied tokens.

Whilst it might not seem 'fair' that you are playing against people that haven't played as many levels as you you should know that agreeing to the All Stars terms of play means you have accepted that people that you are competing against will be of different skill levels to you

Jejsta, Took yours and other advice.. Im still.in this...

Hi, Christine, just thought you might like to know someone directly linked this post over on reddit and called you "the Yoda of candy crush"! Thought you might be proud to hear it, and wanted to say congratulations, you deserve that designation. And it's nice this particular post is getting extra attention now that it's such a valuable perspective.

I don’t know what you make of this @christinewupp but I can’t see any obvious evidence of the VCR-effect on my leaderboard, unless I’m not understanding it correctly.

This was how it was last night when I stopped playing:

Checked the board 30 mins later and the two other European players had also stopped playing - that made sense as it was 1am.. Only the US player («Player») in 3rd had continued playing, and by early this morning was up to 2nd. Timewise this makes sense too, and they do seem to be reacting as if they were playing in real time.

Now:

Another US player has made a big move into 2nd, presumably with a token. So I’m now going to play another one, since I’m blowing them all on this stage anyway. I guess I was being pretty naive to hope that most of my opponents didn’t have any left.
