Level 5271 and 5305 reduced moves

eesamarie

Second time in a week I have fewer moves than what any on line video shows. This time it's level 5305 and I only have 16 moves. Apparently the level had 25 moves then it was reduced to 18 and now 16(!?). This is getting ridiculous and I'm about to say see you later.

anyone else experiencing the same problems?

Last week it was this level 5271 reduced to 15 moves

Hi there. Sadly, as a result of changes to levels, some levels may have more/less moves depending on what level you are playing. Thanks for enquiring :)

I should have included that I have fewer moves than my friends who are playing right now, at similar levels. WTF. It's not sad. It's just wrong.

I want to know if others are having the same issue. I'm checking with my friends to see if they are stuck on "easy" levels -- do they have fewer moves than what other CC players are experiencing? I suspect King is using an algorithm to try and get us to pay for more moves.

Welcome @eesamarie The level guides at https://candycrush.fandom.com/wiki/Level are kept reasonably up to date if you need to check.

Also when searching videos on youtube, always use the filters for the most recent upload date:

Thank you for the helpful suggestions. Check my screen shots, then go check the levels. I have fewer moves than my friends playing on the same day on the same platform -- it's not some tweak that King has made for the level itself, it seemsto be targeted specifically to see if I'll buy extra moves.

Still trying to find out if others are having the same issue.

Are you still stuck at level 5305?

eesamarie

No. I used boosters to get thru.

@Bumper2019 thanks. I'd love to have the number of moves listed in the wiki. Really wish to hear from someone who has the inside scoop on why I have fewer moves. Directly contacting King hasn't gotten me any where either.

@eesamarie The game releases contain the levels and the number of moves and AFAIK can't be tailored to individual players. The in-game events work in the same way as advertising so test groups can (and are) created. As yeayea and Sukanta have said the levels do get changed from time to time if it is evident that a level is too difficult or too easy. It's a bugbear of mine as these revised levels don't seem to get the same amount of pre-release testing as the original and most reported glitches here are from post release revisions.

All I can suggest is that you check with your friends that you are using exactly the same release as them.

I cannot be of much further help as I don't play on the PC but can confirm that for me on android the moves are the same as the Wiki.
