Is there a way to opt out of Sweet Crew aside from playing in Airplane Mode?

Just got a forced entry into Sweet Crew (terrible idea, forcing people into something, should give people a choice) and am wondering if there's a way out aside from Airplane Mode. Don't care if it limits my boosters or earnings, I just want out of Sweet Crew.

Welcome! 👋

in my experience, nothing comes from your inventory. It’s all freebies you’re sending and receiving for Sweet Crew.

I only have sweet crew on my mobile (is it a mobile event only?) but it does not cause me any problems as @Alienscar has mentioned it is quite ignorable. I always choose being the player who gives the extra moves too just like @christinewupp. I wonder what would happen if everyone always made the choice to be the player giving extra moves?

When you have to get in the crew it is very important that you are the one who gives away the "extra moves" otherwise you are doomed.

When you choose the other options and you don't finish a level, you get only 2 extra moves instead of the 3-6 with ufo Booster

When it comes around next time, make sure YOU are the player giving the two extra moves, that way you won't have this problem.

Why oh why do they force me to participate in Sweet Crew. I do not like it and don’t like being forced to be on a “team”. It gives me 2 “free” moves then forces me to pay 16 (instead of the normal 10) for any extra moves.

Alienscar

Hello @mzparakeet I have never understood the ire caused by Sweet Crew as I don't see what the issue is with receiving free moves/lives/lollipop every now and again. The free items cost you absolutely nothing other than clicking a button

You don't get a choice regarding whether or not you compete in the Episode Race, Candy Royale, or the Weekly Contest and they are 'group' events as well.

I agree. I’ll play again only if I’m not being forced to join a group. Should be my decision to compete or send anything. Played since day one but I’m done.

I also have stopped playing because I do not like being forced to join a team or group. This is what makes the game not worth playing. I keep checking to see if this will go away but apparently not. So very disappointed

I agree. No opt out = no more game playing from my side. After 10 years this game has lost it soul. Far to much forced interaction with random players.

Each to their own, but getting sent extra lives wouldn't be top of my issues with the game!

vocamesmom

Though I have played Candy crush for years, I am seriously considering opting out, as since the forced entry into Sweet Crew, I get lives from total strangers, and coincidentally have had an increase in spam messages and privacy issues. I prefer to only communicate with those I know. I can't get past the pop up unless I send something to my "teammates"

Alienscar

It might depend on where you are in the game,

Undoubtedly @Michael-6, I guess a lollipop isn't going to help much with all those sour skulls.

The lives are definitely the most useful. I can see your point about the hammer, though for me I think in all the times i have had the sweet crew, the extra two moves helped out once, whereas i've yet to get any benefit from the hammer. It might depend on where you are in the game, i'm right at the end and the stupid amount of blockers and rubbish that are in the levels these days, the extra lives are really the only useful feature- as it gives you two more goes to get that lucky board!

Alienscar

It is interesting that you say that about the lollipops @Michael-6 because I find the one time use lollipop the most useful. Generally on most levels that I fail to complete two more moves would not help me, but a lollipop that can remove that isolated blocker is a real benefit.

I have tried all three of the roles now and I think it is best to choose Runner as your own role as I find the lollipop and life the most useful items to receive.

The point about getting matched with players that don't/barely play is spot on though. Gone are the days I could complete fifty levels in four days.

Michael-6

There are two problems with the Sweet Crew imo:

-if you get matched up with other players who barely play.

-the lollipop is far less useful than the extra lives/moves

Other than that, its a very handy feature. If you are prompted to join the sweet crew, definitely select to be the person who gives out the lollipops. And once 50 levels are passed, the hour of free boosters/lives is so useful.

Pitabas

I agree. I misunderstood the feature. I thought I was sharing my boosters. They were actually free!

Alienscar

@Pitabas @kholl @Bill_Mayhall I really don't understand all of the negativity towards the Sweet Crew. You are forced into every event that takes place in Candy Crush. Heartfelt Harvest, Fall In Love, Secret Crush, Crusher League and the like also gave you no choice other than to play. You can cross out of them instead of pressing play, but that doesn't actually stop you from having to take part in the event.

The only real difference that I can see is that in Sweet Crew you have to send your crew a free booster/life. The booster/life isn't yours it is totally free, so I really struggle to understand why anyone would not want to take part. If you don't mind playing for an hour the rewards aren't bad either.

kholl

Very disappointing that you’re forced into sweet crew… isn’t it punishment enough we have to have Chloe’s face on our phone even if we don’t want to look at her?

the crew pretty much sucks

Hi, no, if you click on it, as I did, it joins you to a crew and you get gifts. It did not use my stock and now it hasn't come up since, so its all good, just click on it and you will get through it 😊

Bill_Mayhall

So, from what I’ve read here, there is no way to opt out of Crew? Guess I’m done with this game … so annoying and I do not like the loss of choice.
