Candy Crush Saga: changes in the score & points system

Ok to simplify the scoring system with less unpredictable multipliers ... but the big problem is that many levels have objectives based on these multipliers, especially those regarding the combo colorbombs and candy bombs.

So you have to review almost all the 7800 levels to validate the required score.

I'm sorry to say that but if the goal is good ...the solution seems poor.

As an example, I could take level 6386 where I'm stuck. The firsts problems for this level have been reported at least 3 weeks ago, and not resolved yet.....

Hi @Deryck ,

I'm sorry that you are upset but there's no need for name calling. I helped in the creation of a simulator to test all roughly 8000 levels with the new score configurations to ensure that they were all passable with the score changes using two different sources of score information. We then took that information and created special configurations with lower score targets for those levels based on those values. Which you've seen in the case of level 1816. We have thus far seen reports from 7 levels out of almost 8000 that have caused players issues and in most of the cases the issue was not that the proper values were not there but that somehow the player was able to get the latest score configuration but not the updated score target for the level they were stuck on.

That usually only occurs during a blood moon but turns out there was one recently and it mucked up the works. Kidding, it was usually a situation where the player was playing, downloaded the one update with strong internet and then somehow had spotty internet at the absolute wrong time or went offline or switched devices or any number of situations causing the score targets to not download properly.

Also, the color bomb and bomb issue was actually a bug that was created back when candy was migrated from Facebook to Mobile and it became a "feature" because players enjoyed getting massive amounts of points. Well the calculation for this was (3000*(number of bombs destroyed by color bomb ^2). I don't know about you, but I have a hard time calculating 3000*(12*12) to any degree of certainty at a glance (it's 432,000 says my calculator). So we've simplified it a bit but I'll let you see if you can figure out what it is now...remember it's a much more straightforward calculation based on what was crushed.

So as for not mentioning the issues players were running into before, I was explaining why the score system changed and not addressing particular issues that certain players were seeing. We believe that we've gotten the correct score targets to all of the players due to some forced downloads but we are still monitoring the situation and if you or anyone else finds themselves stuck then please let us know. They unfortunately aren't instant fixes because we have to first determine if it's just that player or if it's a wider range of players in order to fix things.

I hope that answers your questions and again, I'm actually a pretty nice person overall, or at least my 5 year old thinks I'm pretty cool so let's keep it fun and friendly please :-).

That's really bad issue but overall i'm not experiencing this issue myself, everything is fine and now i'm very happy about this change and i can collect so many sugar stars nowadays and also about the Color Bomb i didn't know that was an issue before but now when it turns into a feature i'm very happy for it!

Anyways i hope that the team can fix this score target issue and release this new change to everyone with a major update!

It’s seems need to change update star scoring, because bomb scoring nerfed, like level 6412 it’s impossible get SS (sugar stars) until 5.000.000 and level 6415 it’s impossible get SS until 6.400.000! please fix next update

Looks a good move. Though some levels need adjustment in accordance of this change.
