@Boybinary Nope I got the fake flag. I'm getting somewhat concerned about the winter cup event. I have won it the last 2 times. The 100 gold bars really help me a lot since I don't get other events. If it's new levels only I'm sure I won't win. Oh well we will see .
Yes I used to get the 100 gold a month from the winter cup until they stuck me in the A/B testing now I have no way to win anything!
@Boybinary, I got one yesterday and won it. Also, had the Super Charger Color Bomb yesterday. My frosting has a new look, has for a little bit. There are certainly changes going on. I wish that there were side games to collect boosters, some where we players can use old levels. The gold, while enticing does not give me the same graphic thrill as seeing those boosters when I win them. You get all kinds of boosters, gold is the same old, same old, look. Need the graphics, those that are pleasing to the eye. Need that endorphin rush and gold as the reward on so many things ain't a doing it.
P.S. Not sure if I will play some new levels today or not. I have completed the 1st two episodes.
Looks like they are tearing their hair out at the studio trying to figure out how some of the top players can keep playing week after week without spending money. This looks like their last ditch resort to get at us @Peter_Tornaros. Those new releases are a battle of wits between the studio and the players. The studio have run out of ideas on how to force players to part with their gold now, having found that no amount of blockers will achieve it as some players appear to have an unlimited supply of boosters to get through even the most blocked up board. Sorry @Scooterpie but in this battlefield players like you are hit by "friendly fire": King won't give you the side games you desire because they want each and every player at the top to finally run out of gold bars and finally start spending cash on this game. This "last key too late" or "last dragon too late" is their last ditch attempt. No booster and no amount of party poppers will beat such a level, and as far as I can see there is no way around such mathematically impossible levels. It's a disgrace and I agree that mathematically impossible levels should be reported and not allowed. There are still players out there trying to play honestly @QueenB but they are being forced out of the game by this kind of warfare.
The loss of synching of devices and disappearance of the episode race near the top is probably part or this and King certainly take their time fixing these glitches that only affect top players. I don't know what A/B testing is @Boybinary but I can imagine that's part of it as well. King are on a warpath against players at the top. I don't know why they don't just stop releasing new levels but I guess there must still be enough paying customers out there to still make it profitable.
Well said @christinewupp. You have summed up King's attitude to top players.
An unfortunate consequence is Moderators are left on the front line to make excuses while the perpetrators of this war hide in the shadows !!
I dunno, but reality is that if there are no players at the top then the game would become the impossible dream and interest would fade. New players come, new players go, what keeps a player playing? Players think that no one from above (designers/creators) pays attention. Wrong, how could they stay away? I would think all of this would be quite amusing to them.
Some weeks I use more boostes than others to complete the new levels, but part of the game is to keep some of those boosters and live to play another week. However, unfair levels are unacceptable…I know that you can hear me from the upper kingdom…I can't see you, I can't hear you but I can feel your presence.
P.S. I noticed yesterday that another level has changed. On with the game!
And with every contest they make it more and more obvious that they are trying to squeeze out the top players. The latest slap in the face is the Candy Collection contest, which always worked on old levels but is now also new levels only.
Second week in a row, collect 6000 green candies in two days but released on a Tuesday so players waiting for new levels have less than half that time to try to complete it.
If AI is in the way, which it is, skew it!
How? Don't finish the levels too fast, never say a level is too easy, do not tell your go to levels, etc.
