No longer able to exit an unstarted board without losing lives - Information and feedback

Dear community,

I'd like to share with you some information in regards to a god old known issue of the game:

as you may be aware, when we access a level, we don't use any move and we exit the level without playing it, we don't lose any life.

This behaviour was not intended since the very beginning and very soon, this issue is going to be fixed.

That means that, once it's fixed, if we access a level to check it out, we don't do anything and we decide to exit the level to go back to the map, we will be losing a life.

Thank you very much for your understanding 🙂

Have a delicious day and let's keep crushing!

Welcome! 👋

Hello everyone,

Thanks for all the feedback and the many messages that have reached us. However, this dialogue is now stretching far and out of the topic and as all is being said for the moment we decided to close this conversation. If there is news to be shared, we will let you know in a new post. Thanks for your understanding.

@Elsa @LuckyMe1189
I have always played all versions/platforms of the game available. For me things (boosters/gold) sync together except for the mobile version. Only your gold bars sync from the mobile. Try playing the different versions/platforms guys it is amazing. Work them together! 🙃

You're right! I just clicked on the email that you wrote and it took me directly to the beginning of your message!

And that is why players choose Facebook or King. I don't care who the players are and I have a Facebook group and tell them that to accept their friendship they can't get lives from me.

Eddie, I have been getting 400+ emails every single day! Who wants a full message. I look at the subject heading and who wrote it and then decide if I want to come here to read the entire message. You are referring to two entirely different departments. You get to know the players comments because the handful usually write different messages and comments. So I just pick and choose. In this thread I would say that 90% of the time I ended up deleting the email.

To respond to your second message, are you playing through Facebook? If so, it's time to switch to King.

Oh. But I just discovered a very useful feature for once. Now when I click on the "check it out" button, it brings me to the exact message in the lot. This was not the case before. Before it just took me to the page but not there precise message. Ok, in this case I can live with that.

For the second question, I tried play both King and Facebook. But it's much more fun for me to play through Facebook because I rather play with my Facebook friends than with faceless bots I don't care about.

@Elsa
If I switch to playing thru King, do all my boosters stay with me, or do I start all over again?

It depends where you are playing it. If you play on a mobile then you are just getting an account through King and then we can give you the steps to sync the two accounts. On mobile it's hard to hold on to your boosters because they are only saved to that device so any crash or version updates from the game or your device can cause you to lose them. But if you are not doing anything to your game on mobile then they should sync.

If you are playing on Facebook via a browser then even with the syncing not sure if that would work. I play on Windows 10 and synced with Facebook and they all came over. But if you are playing on a computer via Facebook and then sync your account where would you end up playing the game? On king.com there are glitches so that wouldn't help you. But from Facebook to Windows 10 they do transfer.

Statistics are showing that more players are now playing the games on mobile devices see if this works. Go into the game and log out of Facebook then click to login and it probably will have the King showing. Create an account and I'm curious if they automatically sync now. If not, send me a PM and I can give you the link to sync the two together.

I am done with that story. Now going back to my Saga ideas section.

@Elsa

PLEASE do not do this group therapy here, start a thread for it, for those who wish to join. It’s bad enough reading through all the superfluous messages which have nothing to do with this topic. I agree with no anger, no vile statements, etc. As for why we are still here expecting them to say something? They said they would get back to us - still waiting. It’s easy enough for them to just say the decision has been made, no going back, instead of just silence. I consider this very poor customer service. Speaking of which, I was on another topic of the Chocolate Box, cannot connect to the server. I had finished more than half of that box, and their “fix” to that was to restart it and I lost everything. Also, no answer.

Please can we just be polite, keep this ON TOPIC, and expect an answer, even if it’s not the one we hope for?

Thank you.

@JethrinaBodina

"I'm curious, have you been asking and not receiving or do they normally just send to you regularly?"

I don't think I ever asked a life from anybody, not the least because it's damn easy to get new lives. You just need to change the date.

Yes I received them regularly. Not that I needed them anyway, for the reason above, but I have been sending and receiving lives more in a gesture of friendship rather than anything else.

"Are you sure they're playing? "

I am not as I haven't asked them because I didn't realize it was a glitch. I just found it strange that they didn't send me lives anymore. Anyway I would feel silly writing something like "why aren't you sending me lives anymore"

"Are you playing on a PC?"

I play in my Android phone.

"And lastly, did you see my most recent post responding to players with the problem and try to do what the instructions advised?"

Sorry I didn't see it.

@Elsa
If I switch to playing thru King, do all my boosters stay with me, or do I start all over again?

I have so many things to take care of this morning that I am just going to start group therapy for anyone who is interested. Perhaps this afternoon I'll be back again.

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/6030983/uploads/editor/ed/i74blh3sw9e1.png

Welcome players to our first group therapy session. Please be respectful and follow the rules. Who would like to start first?

Player 1 starts to speak.............. Player 2 interrupts and says "me too".................. Player 3 gets so pissed and shouts out loud "King is so greedy! They only want my money and I am tired of buying boosters and extra moves............

Player 2 says "why are you buying the extra things? I don't. I will just play it over and over until I finally clear it."............

Player 3 says "are you crazy? @#%#$^%%$T@#T$%T"........

Elsa, mental health counselor, says "Player 2, how does that make you feel when Player 3 shouts and gets into your face."

Player 2 replies "well I grew up in a family who always shouted at each other with lots of anger. It makes me feel uncomfortable to hear others express such anger similar to the way I grew up."

"That's understandable," Elsa says. "So what would you like to say to Player 3?"

"I want to tell him that anger doesn't get him anywhere," Player 2 says. "It only makes people want to back away from that anger. Or at least that's how I feel about it."

"Thanks for expressing your thoughts," Elsa says. "Player 3 how does it make you feel to hear what Player 2 just said?"

With that, Player 3 gets up, kicks the chair and leaves the group.

Conclusion ................ you can't make everyone happy! It's ok to feel anger and to express anger. Feeling and emotions are so important in this world but it's how we express it that makes the difference.

With all of this new brief story that I wrote, I am now going to post it. Then I am heading over to the Saga ideas section to weed through everything. A player mentioned yesterday that there are too many pages of ideas to go through. So my chore, since I am choosing it, is to create a list of ideas and you can check out the results by the end of the week. And that is why I became a Superstar.

Have a wonderful day everyone and perhaps I will be back later on to check out new messages. BUT it might get interrupted by the Impeachment Hearing that starts at 1:00 PM today and takes away my TV shows. Now that is anger!

"Now granted, that doesn't hit the community as often as the bad glitches but I've seen it all! I wish I could have saved their print screen to show you. "

Yes I think that would be an example. I don't know if it was the case also with the reset "glitch" this thread is about, because I wasn't here at the time, but I know I did just that myself. I thought I was the only one to know about this feature, and I preciouly kept it to my myself. Only when it was "fixed" did I realize to my surprise that thousands of other people knew about it too. Haha. It makes my laugh now when I think about it.

Eddie_Sparrow said:

I think I suffer from the latest "improvement" from King too: that I don't receive lives from friends anymore.

I used to receive a lot of lives as gifts, now not even one anymore. That is not normal.

I'm curious, have you been asking and not receiving or do they normally just send to you regularly?
Are you sure they're playing?
Are you playing on a PC?
And lastly, did you see my most recent post responding to players with the problem and try to do what the instructions advised?
I would really like to know if it helps so I can honestly say that it's worth the effort. I'll try anything once, maybe twice lol, to fix an issue that's impacting the game so terribly. I rely on being able to send and receive lives. If it's broken it really really needs to be a priority repair.

Thanks for answering my question about what is a superstar.

You say that sometimes you can see a glitch by the number of messages coming in. I am not sure about that in all cases. Some glitches people keep preciously to themselves, because it gives them a definite advantages in the game, and they don't want King to find about it in fear they will fix it.

Hi @Eddie_Sparrow I want to share exactly what you said with a couple of players messages that I have responded to. I was totally surprised to see a message posted by a player showing me a print screen of their backpack and you can't even begin to imagine how many thousands of boosters he had. It was a positive glitch for him. I asked him if he'd like to share his stash with me. So players can write about the opposite but, of course, not often. Not too long after that another player posted a message with her print screen showing the same glitch. But she was totally upset and wanted them all gone. Again I asked if she'd like to share them with me. She wanted a fix to get rid of them.

Now granted, that doesn't hit the community as often as the bad glitches but I've seen it all! I wish I could have saved their print screen to show you.

Maybe it reads harsher than it was written. Love what you're saying, but I respectfully disagree with absolutely no malice or anger- in so far as I spent money. I spent many HOURS of my life dedicated to this. I gave and gave of myself for them - for many years. I contributed to their success.

And they took it all away - step by step by step to make even more money than the multiple millions they were already making. Greed personified.

Capping it off by removing resets - the ONLY real skill element the game had, and therefore removing any enjoyment and reducing this to a game of complete & utter chance, that they dictate by the initial candy drops. Whereby you lose lives and boosters, replaced only by spending money if you only have certain time frames to play this in.

These people would market nicotine lollies to children. And not lose sleep over it.

Every cloud does have a silver lining Elsa, you are so right. Game wise I'm just playing more PS4 now which leaves this for dead anyway!! I'm really not missing Candy Crush - and it took less than a month after 6 years of every day addiction, playing multiple times every day.

And I have so much more time and money now, happy days all round. But I will call them out for this, if only others acted like they spoke, maybe King would listen.

Meanwhile - life is so much bigger and way too busy now for me to care if they change it back or not. If they do, I will play again. If they don't - I won't miss it!!

Take care Elsa xx
PS. 8.45pm. After my bedtime LoLoL

This is what you guys don't understand. I have spent money on this game too but I don't carry the anger and repeat "King is greedy". Sure I'd love to have the money that they make but would it make me a better person?

I honestly and truly respect some of the messages here. @TurboTim66, I wrote you in private with some thoughts that I have on this and you respected what I said. Thank you!

That is totally wonderful that you now have more money to spend. So what are you going to buy? Huh? What? Something good. Treat yourself! You only go through life once. It's really neat that I have crossed paths with you.

Once upon a time ……………………………………

In the King community, a message arose from out of sight.

What have we here?

A fairly new manager of the King family posted a message saying that a specific glitch in the game was noted by the studio and it was never intended to be that way. So, they corrected it. This was not well accepted by the game players. They were frustrated with the change and it’s understandable why. People don’t like change! They like status quo.

The messages started building up. Anger was expressed and lots of it too. This fairly new manager took this thread back to the studio asking if anything could be done about it. He sympathized with the players and tried in the best way possible to make them aware that it was never intended to be that way because it represented an exploit.

To make a long story of 100+pages short, the anger was spewn with venom into the message over and over and over again. Threats were made and social media was informed. On and on and on. And the players still waited to get word if the studio was going to reverse this.

Whether it ever gets reversed or not, Tiffi and I were talking this morning. We both came to the conclusion that life goes on. Things change. Families grow up. Bills sometimes get paid. Friends come and go. Yet this message still lingers waiting for answers.

Today I want to make you all aware that we are going to be starting group therapy for those who are addic……ed. There is no fee to join in. All that we request is that you respect each other and follow the rules.

Therapy will begin shortly.

@JethrinaBodina what was told about Facebook is true. We have now had 3 Facebook glitches in the last year. It's the lives issue of sending/receiving lives when playing through Facebook. I haven't played through Facebook since I heard about their glitches. they take forever to fix! I only play all my games through King so you and everyone else might want to try it instead of Facebook. You do get friends sending lives but they are randomly chosen for you. So it's your choice, play on Facebook knowing that it's your Facebook friends but you may never get the lives. Or ....... play through King and never have issues with lives. Maybe I shouldn't say never. Might never have issues with lives.

Not too long after that another player posted a message with her print screen showing the same glitch. But she was totally upset and wanted them all gone. Again I asked if she'd like to share them with me. She wanted a fix to get rid of them.

Now granted, that doesn't hit the community as often as the bad glitches but I've seen it all! I wish I could have saved their print screen to show you.

Thanks for answering my question about what is a superstar.

You say that sometimes you can see a glitch by the number of messages coming in. I am not sure about that in all cases. Some glitches people keep preciously to themselves, because it gives them a definite advantages in the game, and they don't want King to find about it in fear they will fix it.

Maybe it reads harsher than it was written. Love what you're saying, but I respectfully disagree with absolutely no malice or anger- in so far as I spent money. I spent many HOURS of my life dedicated to this. I gave and gave of myself for them - for many years. I contributed to their success.

And they took it all away - step by step by step to make even more money than the multiple millions they were already making. Greed personified.

Capping it off by removing resets - the ONLY real skill element the game had, and therefore removing any enjoyment and reducing this to a game of complete & utter chance, that they dictate by the initial candy drops. Whereby you lose lives and boosters, replaced only by spending money if you only have certain time frames to play this in.

These people would market nicotine lollies to children. And not lose sleep over it.

Every cloud does have a silver lining Elsa, you are so right. Game wise I'm just playing more PS4 now which leaves this for dead anyway!! I'm really not missing Candy Crush - and it took less than a month after 6 years of every day addiction, playing multiple times every day.

And I have so much more time and money now, happy days all round. But I will call them out for this, if only others acted like they spoke, maybe King would listen.

Meanwhile - life is so much bigger and way too busy now for me to care if they change it back or not. If they do, I will play again. If they don't - I won't miss it!!

Take care Elsa xx

This is what you guys don't understand. I have spent money on this game too but I don't carry the anger and repeat "King is greedy". Sure I'd love to have the money that they make but would it make me a better person?

I honestly and truly respect some of the messages here. @TurboTim66, I wrote you in private with some thoughts that I have on this and you respected what I said. Thank you!

That is totally wonderful that you now have more money to spend. So what are you going to buy? Huh? What? Something good. Treat yourself! You only go through life once. It's really neat that I have crossed paths with you.

Once upon a time ……………………………………

In the King community, a message arose from out of sight.

What have we here?

A fairly new manager of the King family posted a message saying that a specific glitch in the game was noted by the studio and it was never intended to be that way. So, they corrected it. This was not well accepted by the game players. They were frustrated with the change and it’s understandable why. People don’t like change! They like status quo.

The messages started building up. Anger was expressed and lots of it too. This fairly new manager took this thread back to the studio asking if anything could be done about it. He sympathized with the players and tried in the best way possible to make them aware that it was never intended to be that way because it represented an exploit.

To make a long story of 100+pages short, the anger was spewn with venom into the message over and over and over again. Threats were made and social media was informed. On and on and on. And the players still waited to get word if the studio was going to reverse this.

Whether it ever gets reversed or not, Tiffi and I were talking this morning. We both came to the conclusion that life goes on. Things change. Families grow up. Bills sometimes get paid. Friends come and go. Yet this message still lingers waiting for answers.

Today I want to make you all aware that we are going to be starting group therapy for those who are addic……ed. There is no fee to join in. All that we request is that you respect each other and follow the rules.

Therapy will begin shortly.

@JethrinaBodina what was told about Facebook is true. We have now had 3 Facebook glitches in the last year. It's the lives issue of sending/receiving lives when playing through Facebook. I haven't played through Facebook since I heard about their glitches. they take forever to fix! I only play all my games through King so you and everyone else might want to try it instead of Facebook. You do get friends sending lives but they are randomly chosen for you. So it's your choice, play on Facebook knowing that it's your Facebook friends but you may never get the lives. Or ....... play through King and never have issues with lives. Maybe I shouldn't say never. Might never have issues with lives.

I’m beginning to hate candy crush
I’ve spent some $$ trying to advance but have sworn off wasting anymore money. I’ve been stuck on one level for over a week. It seems the only rewards given are when you don’t open the game for awhile
What a scam!
I’m right at the end and there’s no way I can get 3 tapes in 2 days. That’s like 300 levels 🤬
