So, you changed the scoring, but didn't change the points required on some levels....which were based on the old scoring system.

Was your objective to alienate as many players as possible? My app has not had an update available since Oct 16.

I've been stuck on 5231since before then because it's now impossible with your changes. The closest I've gotten was 150,000 in 22 moves, and it wants 220,000.

i keep getting told a fix has been deployed.... clearly it has not.

Also, that punishment for finishing a level with the last move isn't cool. I've missed out on many sugar stars because of it.

Hi @Mystre,

I’m sorry that you’re having an issue and we are looking into every instance posted as well as keeping an eye on the overall data to make sure everything is working properly.

We actually did change the score targets for a significant amount of the 8000+ levels. That being said there have been some strange issues with players getting the new score system but not getting the proper score targets for levels. Mind you we have 10s of millions of players every day and we have found 1 instance where a level target was adjusted but not enough and that has been adjusted. In most of the other cases the score targets hadn’t been downloaded properly. We keep making small changes to the system almost every day not to adjust the scores but simply to trigger a re download for the specific level score config when players report that they are having an issue. It’s literally just making a change so that players who are on that level have to download the score configuration for that level again.

I also wanted to say that we are keeping an eye on the forums I just don’t always have time to post a reply, work+child+pandemic and whatnot... I hope you all understand.

Instead of making pretty little pumpkins to substitute for orange candies, how about looking at levels where you need to score points via bombs. Level 3959 requires 41,000 points with a limited amount of bombs (none respawn) and clearing all gets you about 10,000. So in the 11 moves you have from the beginning, you need to clear all bombs AND make an extra 30,000 from normal candies. Impossible.

Yet, you are more than happy to screw people out of their boosters in the hope that using them may help them beat these levels that are now impossible.

If there was a glitch or something that favoured the player, you can bet your bottom dollar it would be fixed in 5 minutes. This BS scoring system has been flagged up for over a month and you've done nothing ... except screw people.

Just corrupt, dishonest, fraudulent and totally incompetent.
