Hi all let's do some brainstorming, this may be the situation(s) in the studio or team meeting for this week.

1. How to make this game less fun.

2. How to bring more blockers and less moves, basically make the levels torture.

3.Who cares about players who have been sticking to this game for over years, we need numbers. We need new players. Let's concentrate on nudging the players to pay. Let's give them some tempting offers. ๐Ÿ™ˆ

4. Since petal peril is over, what next. ๐Ÿค”. We need to come up with some events even better than petal peril which players loved the MOST ๐Ÿ˜‚.

5. Let's make top that even more interesting than it is and make it unachievable.๐Ÿ˜

The employee who comes up with best ideas will be featured in hall of fame for this week/month.

Ugh me and my brain fog. Sorry guys I had some more points to add but as usual I forgot.

Ps- bye bye my friends(saying in advance). If you dont hear from me then I'm banned from this community๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿค•. (I don't know if they can ban me since I'm rookie here).

    That's a nice guess at what goes on in their weekly meetings @zeus77

    Here is my addition:

    1. How else can we make the AI auto run the game so us in the boardroom can shovel in the profit without having to spend anything on wages?
    2. Where shall we then all go to for our next board meeting with the proceeds? Hawaii? The Caribbean?
    3. Did you see that "King community"? Some people there are still seeing through us and spread actually useful tips on how to play the game without paying for it, how do we deal with them? Add a few AI "newbies" and a few AI "answering players" to liven things up and move their posts off the front page? โ€ฆ.. - Nah, that's been tried so many times and failed. Too much effort. Who cares anyway what truths they spread: Most players don't speak English or can't be bothered to read anything that's longer than two lines. Those are the ones that give us all the profit. Let's concentrate on them. There are still some people in India who aren't playing Candy Crush: How do we entice those to the game, it's such a big growing marketโ€ฆ
    4. Let's all go home and hand over to the AI.
    5. Hawaii next week anyone?

    Hmm here are my thoughts.

    1. People love adverts they are always (and I mean always) asking to have adverts in their game. Let's give them adverts, but let's make sure they do not work.

    2. People love gold just as much as they love adverts. Let's give them 45 gold bars from the gold Chocolate Box so that they think they are getting loads of gold, but introduce a timer so that they only earn 45 gold bars a day. I am sure that no one will notice they are actually earning less gold than they used to.

    3. We need more ideas on how to annoy players that are at the end of the map.

    4. People are always complaining about lives. They think that twenty stored lives aren't enough, or they think that lives that are sent to them are being prevented from being received. Bwahahaha they are right.

    5. People can still play the game too quickly. We need longer and more pointless animations. Pins is a really good feature it provides absolutely nothing of value to a player, but it takes loads of time for its animations to run. We need more animations like this. Yes I know the King Community have complained about having too many animations, but they have been asking for a level portal for years so they plainly don't know what they are talking about.

    Oh thank you, thank you, and once again thank you all of you for giving me such a laugh ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿคฃ. Such truthful words shouldn't be so funny, but OMG they really are.

    This thread is priceless ๐Ÿ˜…. If there was a vote for โ€˜thread of the yearโ€™ this would walk it. It rings all too true unfortunately but no less hilarious for all that.Thank you @zeus77, @christinewupp and @Alienscar!

    Hi @zeus77๐Ÿค—

    Why do you think you will be banned? You were honestly sharing your thoughts & feedback about the game! It's your way of venting/showing your frustration about the changes/hardness in the game!

    As a player, you have every right to share your thoughts with other players๐Ÿ’œ

    @PummyRaj ๐Ÿคฃ i won't be surprised if they ban me/ suspend me for a week obviously for spitting facts, Few months back i wrote one long post it never saw the day, if that is not controlling then what is that?.

    Do feel free to add your valuable thoughts /points in this thread ๐Ÿ™ˆ.

    I forgot to add this point in my post๐Ÿ‘‡

    6. People at the end of the map do still have good amount of gold stash, we need to come up with ideas to wash them down the drain.

    What hurts the most is when long standing players give constructive criticism/ideas to improve things it fall on deaf ears. Then why ask feedback and say keep giving your ideas /suggestions to make this game more interesting and fun. All AI does is digging the grave deeper.

    I read a post by @BigAngryLion it was written so well it reflects ones experience over the years. ( Once how this game was versus(๐Ÿ†š ) how it is now). I don't see the changes/updates of this game as any improvement/betterment. It won't be long before many players quit this game.

    When we open the app it's says "swipe the stress away" if i have the power i would change it into "LETS GET YOU MORE STRESSED". It is what it is now. ๐Ÿคง

    I'm lucky to have friends who helps me when this game is too much. I owe them a big thankyou (Christinewupp, mannyfae, nobody1, jumpery, pyrospring). I couldn't remember others name I'm sorry for that.

    Hello @zeus77 PummyRaj is right: Nobody gets banned from this community for writing critical posts. This is a place for anyone to freely state their opinions and always has been. I have never seen anyone banned for speaking their mind. It is not against any of the community rules, so King cannot ban players for speaking out. What they can do is ignore these posts, and that is what they do. This is a community of players for players and for us to exchange views on the game, and hopefully some tips, but it isn't really a place for us to communicate with King. Queen B is a King employee but her role is a difficult one. When she promises to pass on our feedback then that is exactly all she can do: pass it on. Sometimes, such as in the case of our repeated questions about the fake and clearly non random weekly race contestants, that is as far as it gets. If King choose to ignore what we say in this community there is nothing any moderator or admin can do. We can keep telling the truth here, complain and vent our anger, so long as we don't use foul language. If a post goes for moderation it usually is a computer glitch as the AI that runs the spam detection programme is not yet intelligent enough to do its job. It's not human and if a post gets blocked it is never personal. I hope you'll keep posting and sharing. We all love this thread!

    Hi everyone ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

    Just popping in to say thank you for sharing your thoughts in such a creative (and, yes, very funny way ๐Ÿ˜). We know satire often comes from a place of deep care, and itโ€™s clear you all love the game ,even when it frustrates you.

    Threads like this help us see what's working and what isnโ€™t, especially when it comes from experienced players like you. Iโ€™ve taken note of the themes raised here and will be passing them along.

    Please keep sharing, whether serious or silly because your feedback really does help us shape Candy into something everyone can enjoy ๐Ÿ˜Š

Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?
