Chocolate Box

My chocolate box rewarded me with 40 gold bars this morning (was 25). My delight soon disappeared as the new box is now on a 5-hour timer ☹️. Reading some of the comments on here, I count myself lucky not to have had the timer prior to this. The effect of this will be that I will curtail my playing time and consequently the time I watch ads ($ for King). The words ‘foot’ and ‘shot’ spring to mind. . @Carol-38 @christinewupp

Thanks @Carol-38

I guess I’ll still be 3 gold bars up even if I ‘waste’ the party booster and I’ll get another crack at the chocky box. If time is on my side, I can complete it just before the new levels are released 🙂

Thanks @Nobody1

I agree, I’ll let it expire….before I do 🙂

Thanks @Carol-38 @christinewupp

As it’s only a day to wait now, I think I’ll let it expire and restart. A change is as good as a rest 🙂

My latest chocolate box was just 25 gold. I hoped that would mean I wouldn't have the 24 hour warmdown afterwards, but alas, I still have it. It just keeps getting worse!

Anyway, Charleyfarley, I probably wouldn't use the party booster, unless you have another reason to do it. One reason might be that you could get something good out of the next chocolate box, but you might get the warmdown I'm getting, and then there wouldn't even be that advantage.

When I find myself in this position I always let the box expire. I would never waste a party popper on the Star Tournament. The first two boxes can be completed very, very quickly: Each order can usually be completed in just one new level, or you could play a few older ones, and of course failed levels also count. In fact letting the box expire is a good way to get timed starting boosters very quickly, since those are the prizes for the first two boxes.

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/3383439#Comment_3383439

I've been in the situation where I've had to let it expire @Charleyfarley when it's been to complete x amount of levels and I didn't have any left to play. I soon got back to gold and also got 10 gold from the Silver Box on the way. Now whether you want to waste a Party Booster for 25 gold has to be your decision 🤔

Just a quick update :

As I was lagging behind in the last episode, I had enough lives left to complete the 1st task of 20 levels (cost me dearly in gold).

I then completed the other 3 tasks which were the usual - 2 candy tasks and 3 UFOs as the 4th. Then I had 3 hours before I could restart the next box (back down to 25 gold) and again only 2 days to complete.
I’ve completed the 1st 3 tasks, leaving me with a party booster as the 4th. I’m now in the Star Tournament and could use it (bit of a waste) and pick up the gold/restart etc. Alternatively, let the chocolate box expire and see what the reset brings.

Has anyone been in this situation and, if so, was there any advantage in letting the box expire ?

@Carol-38 @christinewupp

We don't know what is next. I only need the one with passing level. So, if the first task come out is use boosters, I will click change. But, if it's passing level, I won't take risk to change.

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/3383252#Comment_3383252

I know I can. How if after I click change the task become use booster a few times? I don't want to take risk.

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/3382895#Comment_3382895

You can change task

well this must be the final death knell for us - no hope of passing a level without copious boosters, no help with bonus boosters and now, no way to accumulate gold to purchase boosters.

In the words of the Doors, this is the end ☹️

Of course you're right, Christine. Just pointing out how it seems they are going in the wrong direction.

sadly yes. It’s the same with crosswords, scrabble, wordle etc

Fighting a losing battle I fear

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/3382970#Comment_3382970

I don't think they intend anything @Nobody1 . Isn't the game run by an AI now?

I also agree with Christine that they are motivating us to play less. With the chocolate box warmdown, there is no longer a temptation to go back and play old levels in the middle of an episode race. So I filled one chocolate box today, finished my episode race, and now I will just not play anymore until tomorrow, since I prefer to wait for another chocolate box before moving on. And besides that, it's beneficial not to play so I can fill my 4 stamps this week by playing just one episode race per day.

As it turns out, my group for Prize Palooza is ridiculously easy, so I don't have to worry about that. I should easily qualify without playing much more. So I guess I will take the rest of the day off for Candy Crush. Do you think that's what King intended with these changes??

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/3382871#Comment_3382871

Good point re levels left Carol @Carol-38

In one episode, normally I can only win 9 or 10 levels in one try probably. But, if the task is 16 unplayed levels, then I only need to play one whole episode plus one new level. Win level in one try is the task that make me scare of.

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/3382860#Comment_3382860

No, I get harder task. I hardly win levels in one try. I can only do that on normal difficulty level.

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/3382856#Comment_3382856

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/3382860#Comment_3382860

Yes 12 is a lot better than 20, but if you haven't got any levels left to play until the new ones come out in 4 days, it's impossible. But we know don't we that King still haven't really got a clue of what we are saying, it just baffles me on what they do.

And yes @christinewupp they are certainly making it a lot easier for players just to stop. I sometimes re-look at the voting polls for the Chocolate Box, New Map, Gummi Dragons etc and the overwhelming majority saying no. So again it baffles me how they can say tell us what you think, we only want to make the game sweeter. They must have a good old laugh at all of us 🙄

@teeweiping Yes, 12 is a lot better than 20 🙂
