Great insights and I would agree with you on those points. Yes, that transition after level 200 is gross. I'm sure that is intentional as King think by that point players have been groomed (oh will the AI allow me to use that word?) into thinking that they are good at playing this game. I have a theory that the intention is to fool players into believing that it was their own skill that helped them get this far and that they must now be doing something wrong if they fail level 205 or 225 etc. Also up to level 200 they are given lots of lovely boosters to try out and above all they will be on a top win streak and see how much fun that is, with the double colour bomb combos to help pass the trickiest levels. And then the game stops placing our colour bombs side by side on the starting board, how many of the new players will actually understand that this is part of the game design? The vast majority at this point think it's luck, and then they will start to pay because they expect that sooner or later their luck will continue. Well, here is my theory so I wouldn't expect King to take your advice. They calculate the spendings for each "test group" of players week by week, so they know that having this transition makes them a profit. The same is probably true for the horrible 400-800 range.
Since I have no interest in fighting the forum, you will have to click on both images to see the difference visually.
Additionally plan to make a sort of pre 1000 state of the game to address some of the nonsense.
Preview?
So going to take a break until Nov. Ground out Top That! and that was kinda my last test of mechanics and how they play out pre 1000. Too much of a time sink to actually complete it and get out of the utter mess that is 400-800 with the normal start at 200.
I did manage too…
Basically to get an avatar you have to use another King game.
Below is the game I used, thank you @PummyRaj
The thing you have to know is that all the other game seem to have a different size avatar window. I had to add some additional white space to the sides of my image to work. If you don't it will get partly cut off in Candy Crush Saga.
Basically in MS paint (or any image editor)
Original 201 x 221
New 250 x 266
If it is not 100% centred it is fine, when you upload it you can still make the fine adjustments with the selection tool.
In my case I am not centred vertically when the shadow is included and am slightly to the left of centre. If I was less lazy I could have used a better tool but as I say, you can get it perfect via the selection tool when you upload it.
So there is still pleasure ahead in the game, and some manageable levels, even on a Thursday!?
Well done for getting that Top That prize. Is this the furthest you have played? I always wonder at which stage you decide to start again….. Personally I quite like those levels 1000-2000. Let me see if I can beat your gold balance at level 1000. It looks like you've got the same events I have in the game I started on Monday. I also get Volcanic Panic and the Bubblegum Battle. Did you get Factory Frenzy I think it's called, the one where you collect striped candies?
Thanks for clarifying what you meant with the placebo missiles. I have never yet seen those in my game. So they only show up during Volcanic Panic?
New Event Bubblegum Battle
Pretty self explanatory. There troll has 9 lives and it takes 3 losses for the troll to take something.
The only part about that that is fun is that the troll changes costume each time and the animations are amusing.
Fun getting this on a Legendary level… lol
Oh joys…
Also success!!!! The only reason this was worth the effort is I was speed grinding out of the miserable 400-900 section anyway.
Once I got into the 800s is was just play till I finished it.
And…..
Ya, the 502 speed up is just such a jerk move.
600s - I will give you a break… psych
700s - See 600 but with 3-4 streak breaking levels each episode.
816 - It gets normal again. First episode in 800 is a bit rough but nothing like before.
Ya, the 502 speed up is just such a dick move.
Very interesting, thank you. I sure know now why you said the late 400s were "special". The 500s have been awful as well, so I'm not sure I want to see the 600s now. Let's hope that there are still some good levels left in the 800-1000 range. That USED to be fun.
Yes, you got me wondering what you mean by rockets as well.
Candy Royale showed up for me at level 502 and yes, I'm absolutely livid they made the first level a boosters locked one! The is foul! I failed of course, given that this level is only possible if you use starting boosters. So you have to essentially pay gold bars to even get into the first CandyRoyale. Whoever thought of that!
Come Catch Me - An event where you are intended to "catch" another player. Basically it amounts to you passing 7-8 levels netting about 45 minutes of timed boosters. I only have see it before 200.
Candy Royal - Take with a grain of salt. I have seen it at 501, 504, 512, 525 or something like that as well. I have no clue what the trigger is anymore beyond passing 500.
Volcanic Panic - When it first came out, Volcanic Panic was just the special levels. They added rockets more recently.
This post for the first iteration of the rockets… They were literally only for show and actually did not affect the outcome.
@SneakyMelonPyroDuck Lots of insights, thanks!
A few things you mention, before and now:
What the heck is Come Catch Me? Never saw/heard of that before.
I was wondering when Candy Royale activates. Good to know.
What do you mean by rockets re. Volcanic Panic?
omg I can't with that L790. I'll share my experience with it when I reach it!
So this week so far…
Interesting!!! Bringing chocolate back? How very unkinglike. I wonder what else they have tucked up their sleeves.
Not much interesting outside of something that was a bit of a shock
This board has not had chocolate for awhile for me. Didn't exactly miss it on this one.
So Far
