Feedback on levels 9441-9485!

I love this thread. Keep it on the front page! Scroll through it: Those were the good old days when Candy Crush was fun and people were here discussing the latest levels. Before level 10,000 there was still a lot to discuss. Humans were involved in designing the new levels still. Levels had some degree of puzzle nature, were intelligent. In fact, Candy Crush players had to use some strategy to crack some of those levels.

Then along came the levels 12,000 and over and the AI churning up trash after trash after trash......

Greetings @christinewupp! I believe there are other people who could join in but nobody is? Yes, there used to be "Kingsters" replying to comments, we used to be able to pm between players. But these were like what it is to have a driver's license, a privilege. So, how do we get these back after they have been misused by some players and taken away? I am not sure that we can.

p.s. Christine, the comments we make here are really observed, when I first came here (over 6 years ago) I did not think that they were, but they are! They really, truly are.

My oh my what a trip down nostalgia lane it is to read these posts. I don't know where you found this thread @spiller ! Eight full pages of discussions about the latest releases of the week and including replies from a "Kingster" replying to the comments!!!! Then the mention of F5 and players hoarding lots of boosters.....

Ahhhh...... those were the days. Maybe they should have packed the game in at 10,000. Retire while the going is good, the Alex Ferguson way. Well, it's too late for that now. Poor @Scooterpie is all on her own now out there now, week after week. 🙁

Merry Christmas to you all! 🎄

Well and truly stuck on 9447. Going no where in days

We did add some moves yesterday, but it seems like the change was not big enough. Will get a bigger change today 😊

9478 is a joke, hopefully you've seen the data,it's needs tweaking to passable without boosters as no one as any anymore because of your dreadful unpassable levels you keep throwing at us.

I'm hoping to get to level 10,000 then I'm out of here as well, absolutely no fun in the game anymore, it's been ruined.

Well done Foxybrown for actually doing what a lot of people threaten to do. If only another 150 million players would do the same thing then maybe King would finally understand that arbitrarily removing moves from levels isn't actually something that can be called 'level design'

Hey @LindQ and fellow frustrated Crushers

After playing this game since what seems like The Start of Time, April 30 was the first time I recall being frustrated enough to post on this forum. The game was always a welcome way to ‘chill and unwind’ - your words not mine…

It now has become a source of stress. Prior to April this year I did enjoy working through the levels, and had built up quite a collection of free boosters and coins as I rarely used these items - reserving them for times when I was in a rush to complete an episode for whatever reason. I won almost all of the episode races, participated in all the bits and pieces (yes I do realize that playing is my choice), and actually had fun playing. I now have no boosters or coins left because I just could not give up trying the unplayable levels - but perhaps that is the new plan… 🤔. I mean - who bases tweaking decisions on the data gathered from early players who admit to using all starting boosters plus IPBs to complete?

So… I just wanted to let you and the rest of the Candy Crush developers/tormentors know that I have deleted the game from my phone and I am DONE. I don’t enjoy posting pleading complaints for someone to stop what seems like deliberate torture, and so I have cut the cord.

Cheers

Edited to add a few other recent issues while I am venting:

whatever you all did to the F5 game created problems. The last 5 times I reached the goal - either the Claim button would not be displayed, or I would claim but the rewards would not get credited or it would just reset without allowing me to claim.
the lucky whatever (the name escapes me) that allows you to climb and collect boosters also is not working properly and has started only crediting the last item won (at least in my game).
the new chocolate box counts a switch as an attempt. I don’t think this is fair and (to my memory) it did not happen before.

That’s all folks!

Hello @LindQ

As promised, here is my hall of shame screenshot. This is my reward for failing 50 times on level 9481.

Oh, if I only had 10 gold bars. I’m sure I could finish the level with my 35 extra moves. Maybe that is a fix for these darn near impossible levels. Simply award 10 gold bars after failing a level 50 times - that way there is a pseudo-cap on the number of times one has to play a level. One still has to play and pass the level, but with 35 extra moves, even the darn near impossible levels should be doable.

Level 9472 - It depends on getting a lucky board to complete this level. Might need a look into as well.

Will look into all these today! A few of these were not changed since on Windows, but we definitely have more data now after the weekend. At first glance it looks like a lot of these levels need a bit of a nerf, indeed.

I agree

Hello @LindQ

I recall you saying you tweak the levels based on the data and not because there are complaints about it.

Well, I will be shocked if the data doesn’t tell you that level 9481 is darn near impossible! In fact, that should be a new level difficulty designation above Nightmarishly Hard level - Darn Near Impossible!

I have already lost to this level 40 times already and have used the last of my boosters and gold bars, so I’m attacking this level with no weapons. This is a really aggravating level and needs another 10 moves to even get it to the Nightmarishly Hard range. I second @FoxyBrown60 and would rate this level as HORRIBLE! I never want to play a level like this one again. Actually, I have the perfect fix for this level - just add Samantha and a color bomb cannon and that should fix it.

On the good side, I really do enjoy the color cannons. They add an interesting twist to the game strategy.

Please investigate this level before I reach the dreaded 50 times loss level where I get 35 extra moves to finish the level, if I only had 10 gold bars. If I reach that awful milestone, I’ll be back to post the screenshot of my accomplishment of failure!

This is the closest I've gotten all day on this level, cheers for a wasted day 👍👍👍👍

What's the point in playing????????

Level 9469 - guess it needs a few more moves. Coming close to completing it, but dont have any boosters to finish the game..

9472 is dreadful, one person on YouTube completely fluked it with 30 moves in the last two weeks, cant believe I have to keep coming back here every couple of levels, can you please answer LindQ why you've ruined such a previously good game? It's so obvious with all the complaints it's been ruined,.

Hey @LindQ and anyone that cares..

On a rating scale of 1 to 10, I give level 9481 -100 - (yes that is minus 100).

It has to be the most irritatingly frustrating board design that I can recall, and as I am playing without boosters or coins, I can only limp ahead when the Candy Crush Gods either revisit unplayable levels like this or throw up a ‘lucky’ board.

This one is special though. It makes me want to fling my computer across the room and stomp on it. Clearly I need to get a life!

Cheers

LindQ, Thank you thank you! I have been asking this question for years and this is the first time I've gotten an actual response. I have always played through FB on my PC but downloaded the game and there are literally dozens of levels above the ones downloaded on FB this week.

"Do you play in the webplayer or the Windows app? To be two weeks ahead you need to download the app from the windows app store 😊"
