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

Yorben_Goeree

Same with you! And I hate this!

I'm a youtuber, and my channel has been flooded with complaints. I made a video just to deal with all the questions. So when King does something this upsetting, I make money on it. But what a lousy way to make money, listening to folks who used to love this game and are now so upset they are planning to quit...knowing there is nothing I can do to help them except empathize. It will be another wave of folks leaving, like when the massive move reduction occurred at the end of 2018.

King - You need to allow a player to restart or a bunch of us will quit the game.  Why would you make the game harder?

Simple.  To make more money for them.  We'd lose our boosters and lives quicker.

Well this is very disappointing. You say this was never intended from the beginning, but how many years has Candy Crush been around? And King has finally decided to fix it?

We your loyal players have endured a lot from King this year, particularly the awful timed boosters invading every aspect of the game. Despite the overwhelmingly negative reaction to them we have been ignored & it appears they’re here to stay. And now we have to accept this? Ridiculous.

I agree with most of the community. Allowing to reset the board without losing a life had become a key part of the game after all this time. 

Please reconsider this change.

You are actually right, Suzy!

Hi @SuzyFuller,

As I'm a fan of you, I've saw your video appears and I've watch it and thank you very much for making this video that allows me to know about that thing is going to happening... however you are absolutely right, I love your comment! I'm so scary for the game now because many players are going to stop playing the game even my friends on my country are going to stop playing as well until King do something and bring the ability back again... This is the worst day if ever seen in my life...

Please @Pounawea and the team do something!

MightyWolf

I'm agree with you!

I've registered just to thank you for curing my addiction. Deleted the game for good. Thanks!

This is interesting.  I wonder if King can see a drop in number of players they have. I'm sure they can.  

I upgraded my computer and re-installed the game recently.  Looks like I'll just not play it anymore.  I'll give it a week to see if they change their mind about 'fixing' it before deleting the game off my computer.   That's okay either way, plenty of other games to play.

After years and almost 4000 levels deep I'm ending my Candy Crush career. They did not "fix an issue" and its pretty insulting that they attempted to disguise it as so. This is a greedy scheme and I hope it backfires big time. Done.

I'll remove the shortcut to the app on my phone's home screen and give it a few weeks in the cryo chamber.  If the option for reshuffling the board won't come back in that time I delete the game.

But hey.  It's a fantastic game even with the awful change today.  Absolutely brilliant!  Kudos to King for that.

MightyWolf

I can't believe that we will so many people!

Candy Crush team we want you right now!

I also have joined today to comment on the new fix. Totally disgusted with this I will no longer be playing after 7 years of commitment

Has anyone noticed that the new update prohibits you from leaving the level (even though you haven’t made a move yet) without loosing a life 😢 this sucks

I've been playing forever.  I've completed all the levels, and wait patiently each week for the new batch.  In the meantime, I go back and play lower levels, with an eye to getting three stars or getting the diamond stars or whatever they're called.  And, yes, it also lets me accumulate some hammers (you already nerfed collecting boosters in favor of timed boosts on the sugar drops).  

Of course, this means I have to manually scroll back through 6000 levels.

But, rather than give us the ability to jump to lower levels (or, once there, to stay there - the game likes to pop me back to the top), you now nerf a "bug" that's been around forever.  

Do you *want* to chase your regular players away?  Because this is how.
