Evan elp us, it was difficult enough dealing with the human resistance……

I've just boostered my way through Episode 3 and agree with @Charleyfarley it was a stinker. It was sour, stressful and unrelaxing. After Episode 2 that I kind of enjoyed, I had high hopes for Episode 3. My high hopes were soon candy crushed down though. Again there was level after level with ridiculous amounts of blockers with no way to actually reach them. The blockers, and I couldn't tell you how many layers they had, 4, 5 maybe 6 were at the bottom and the only moves given were all at the very top. So no chance for anyone to use the brain for moves to reach them. All you'd use your brain for would be to decide if you wanted to play the sour, stressful and unrelaxing levels again and again and use gold for extra moves. Or of course decide what strong boosters to use to put yourself out of the misery of having to play them again. Of course I used the boosters, but still couldn't tell you what layered blockers any of them were.

Again it's still obvious the level team aren't checking what is being released each Wednesday before being released. Guess they've got more fun things to do, like sitting in ice baths for an hour.

Oh well give it a rest for now and maybe finish the 4th Episode before the next 60 levels come out on Wednesday 🙄

Well. I think episode 3 is a stinker.

Agree with Christine when she says the easy levels are too easy but at least they allow you to progress a bit. However, they were few and between in episode 3 and most required cashing in gold for extra moves to pass….for me anyway.

It really is a case of feast or famine.

I did win episode 1 race but due to the false flag defect, I didn’t get my gold bars and lost 5 points in the weekly contest ☹️

I do hope the levels improve but not holding my breath…..

Jezz how boring has this game become, after over a decade of playing, this desperate company have simply made it impossible to progress without spending money, which ill not be doing. Ive gone 10,000+ gold but id rather lose every single one than use it to pass levels that are otherwise impossible. Boring as f haha

Carol-38

Finished the 2nd Episode and I have to say it's one of the best I've had in a long while. Not just because the Race Flag worked but also because there were a couple of levels that practically played themselves. And for me that was good being as we're getting 60 new levels a week now, so I was grateful that they did. Also had a few levels that needed thinking about and managed to pass them on my last move with little or no boosters. Particularly liked the one when on activating the fish they hit the skulls, can't remember which one it was, had the Delicious Dash and didn't want to stop to make notes. Again there were many that if wanting to pass first go needed many hard boosters, again didn't take notes of them, was watching the Delicious Dash time. Mind you even without Delicious Dash I wouldn't sit with a pencil and bit of paper making notes. It's time the Studio checked the levels before they are released and not wait for us to use a lot of gold/boosters then report back. But as I said a much better Episode for me.

Will play the 3rd Episode in a day or 2 and hope that has some nice surprises 🤞

I've played all the new levels now. Episode race worked fine in the end.

My feedback is much the same as usual:

The easy levels are too easy. That is a recurring issue in all the new releases. There is no challenge to the "passable without boosters" levels. We all approach these having won the previous levels, so every player will have win streak boosters, and every sensible player at this level range will also have played starting boosters. With these, the easy levels really are too easy for players at the top of the map. This is not fun and does nothing in my mind to make these episodes more fun or less aggravating.

The harder levels are too obviously fixed for us to fail unless we play strong boosters or pay for extra moves. The problem I find with these levels as compared to levels in the other level ranges I play (my other games at levels 3000-4000 and 9000-10,000) is that in the lower levels Candy Crush is very much a "play the right booster at the right time" game. If we do this we can pass levels, win episode races and hopefully make some gold. That is what makes the game challenging and enjoyable. I do not find this in the new releases: It's clear we need to either play so many boosters that it will break the bank or pay gold for extra moves. This kind of programming takes the fun out of playing because there is no challenge here. If levels take this many boosters to pass then the only sensible and economical option is to pay 10 gold for the extra moves (if necessary failing repeatedly) I have pointed this out many times. That kind of logic is flawed because playing boosters is so much more satisfying to players than paying to pass is. The algorithms need to be changed so that playing the right boosters at the right time is still a viable options for all players (and not just the lucky few who are in the right test group).

Thanks Carol nope it's still fake. I really for years never really had the but a few times so I'm use to it.

You're not being silly and quite right having a little rant @cookiemae it's awful when something isn't right and not being fixed. My first response wasn't being looked into until many others also said they had the fake flag. I haven't started Episode 2 yet so will have to see if all is good then. Hope you haven't got a fake flag now 🤞

cookiemae

So I wonder what's the issue with the fake flag? I have had the fake flag most of the time since it started and have asked about it plus sent screenshots. I just kept playing. I guess I'm being kinda silly right now because @QueenB is paying more attention because more people don't have it. I guess just jealous that when I have had this issue it wasn't enough for the studio or anyone to care. Just ranting.

QueenB

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/3368972#Comment_3368972

Thanks for letting me know! Okay, let me know when you have passed level 19 701 and if the issue persists so I can share this screenshot and the new one after passing 19 701 and I will report back to the studio 🫡

Carol-38

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/3368880#Comment_3368880

So Moaning Minnie was moaning for the right reason, aha. But unfortunately it didn't correct itself for me, I had passed 8 levels yesterday then shut down. Went back when I saw your post today @QueenB and played the other 7 hoping the Race would start, but this is what it still showed all the way through, still to complete level 19701 to start race.

So I didn't get a chance for my 30 gold. Maybe they'll be changing mine to 45 in the future 🙃 or maybe not.

teenybee

Oh good. Thanks @QueenB for getting it sorted, and @Carol-38 for the headsup.

Fab, then on with the new levels! Yes, I agree with QueenB: Thank you @Carol-38 once again for the warning. Let's see now if these levels are worth playing or not.

QueenB

Hey everyone, just jumping in with a quick update 🛠️

The issue with Episode Race not starting has now been reported and should be fixed. Could you check and let us know if things are looking better now?

Also, shout-out again to @Carol-38 for flagging this early on. You were totally right, and I’m sorry I didn’t pick it up sooner when you first posted. It turned out to be a bigger glitch behind the scenes, but hopefully things are back on track now 🙏

Charleyfarley

@Carol-38 @christinewupp

Ty Carol and Christine

In the last 15 mins, the flag has been magically reset and I’m now in the race. Not sure what triggered it but it happened at level 19690 (5 levels in) although I was playing old levels at the time

Weekly progress remains at zero. Oh well can’t have everything…

I’m off now for a shave 🙂

Just seen QueenB’s post - they clearly fixed the issue

@QueenB Will the weekly progress now reflect the true progress or will it remain at zero ? It doesn’t atm

You mean 19690? The latest levels have no classification because not enough people have played these yet. The classification is done retrospectively, according to previous player success at these levels. The computers work out how long it took players to pass levels and then from this data work out how to rate them. Therefore new releases often show no difficulty.

christinewupp

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/3368654#Comment_3368654

In the past if I have got the false flag or no flag at all it might right itself within the first 4 levels of the epsiode, maybe 5 I'm not sure. But once you have played beyond that point you won't get the race.
