    Si no vuelve, borro a candy. Tá se volvió un estrés más que entretenimiento

    "Spring Cleaning" might be a nice headline, but sometime devastating. Making changes is not always a good thing that can lead to a crash, especially if they are not under control. Last year the Candy Crush Saga game looked like a car running down a driverless car. Stop the changes made think and you will be more attentive to the players.

    I get it! You want to change things up from time to time. You are a business, looking for a profit.

    BUT...

    Your changes are going to lose customers, and therefore profit, if you don’t keep us less frustrated and at least somewhat entertained.

    Specifically dissatisfying are the changes in how often we are able to gain the free boosters.

    -We are no longer able to build-a-bot on old levels.

    -Recently we could only acquire 5 candy drops at a time. Now they have been completely gone for several days. 

    -You took away the ability to back out of a level without losing a life.

    -Strategic placement of buttons so we have accidental loss of boosters, gold bars, and/or lives.

    -Preying on our vulnerabilities of addiction, competition, bells and whistles, wanting to progress, and win bonuses all in the hopes people will spend money to meet their needs....

     

    I also get that we are not completely without freebies, as we still have access to bonuses via the daily spin, the calendar, Fantastic 5, dragon and sheep feed and grow.

     

    In my case, if I am stuck on a level more than a few days, I resort to the help of build-a-bot, sometimes combined with other boosters, to just get it over with, because being stuck too long is not fun for players. Mind you, I will absolutely not make 1 monetary purchase in order to pass a level. 

     

    Removing some of the perks would be ok if the game was more generous in other ways. Like up the amount of CB’s, stripes, and wraps, other booster that randomly occur in every level.

    Change the items on the daily spinning wheel. Remove the coconut wheel and add the flying saucer and the party piñata. The coconut wheel is already on the calendar twice, anyway.

    Periodically (and more often) bring back the plant climb, daily video, gold-silver-bronze ribbons, spaceships, other perks that come and go. Bring back the Dream World, you don’t even need to make new levels, just bring back the ones you had.

    Get rid of: Sugar stars, chronicles, ranking and awarding frames, the Fantastic 5 (or at least the people that score nothing).

     

    I have plugged along, passing levels daily, until some of these recent eliminations, where I get stuck for too long on almost every level.

    This is not players “swiping stress away” any longer, you are adding to it.

    Your changes are sucking the fun out of the game, making people frustrated enough to quit.

    Removing Sugardrops from the game (etc.)? Don't you see you're destroying it? This used to be such a nice game, back in those days when it still was a real King's game. Remember those days? Now it belongs to Activision. The way I see things, you're just pretty busy digging your own grave. Do you still care? Because I doubt it. You're just gonna lose this way. I've asked before, and I'm gonna ask again, please do wake up before it's too late. Could you do that please? Please do show us that you do care. Thank you.

    To those who want all the specials back, how many levels do you typically clear in a day?

    I try and spread the 45 new levels each week over the course of the week but generally pass 30-40 in the first two days and then sometimes have to make sure I have at least one new level to pass a day. I could probably clear the 45 in a day now if I tried

    I stopped playing for over a year as I became frustrated with a level. The most levels I’ve cleared in a week in the 3/4 months playing catch up was 207 and that was without accumulating any boosters at all

    So playing other games, challenges, collecting sugar drops etc is important to keep me playing now

    Well...here I am...level 6552...all boosters depleted...bot empty...retiring from Candy Crush...missing the old bot too much to go on.

    Actually, this may be a blessing in disguise... I can finally clean my kitchen cabinets and maybe even leave the house tomorrow.
