Where is the old candy crush

Is that a bit like Dexter then, where all you have to do is collect a certain number of Candy to win a booster? I gather from other posts that too many boosters is 'bad' for the game, so I wonder if the sugar drop was just too good. You never know though Kazza, a new booster machine might be on the way and maybe it will solve everyone's problems.

Wow, that must be an awful experience, I honestly don't think I could enjoy this game with only one booster a day. Can I ask if you have ever payed for anything in the game. I have read elsewhere that as soon as you buy something all of your free stuff disappears.

You like the Chocolate Box, but aren't a fan of F5 because it can take several days. I find that to be a bit of a conundrum as the Chocolate Box is a two day event for me.

Also the F5 provides a stepped release of boosters. I find that the lollipop for 1700 points can be gained in a few hours of play. With the right team you can be getting all of the rewards quicker than you can from the Chocolate Box.

I agree about the timed boosters, but I have learnt to keep an eye on them, and stop playing before the team gains the timed booster. I start playing when I know I will be able to get some use of an hour long booster,

Neither did I until they just appeared in my Events. I clear my cache every couple of days or so maybe that has something to do with it.

I am approaching level 900, and the game is getting more and more difficult. There have been several levels that have held me up for a day or so (note that a 'day' of playing can be anything from less than one to maybe four hours), so I am in the same boat as you. There was an Event last week that required me to play one hundred levels in a week to win some rewards. There is no way I was going to achieve that.

This weeks Event requires that I play eight levels in a day. I think I have failed at that. When you can only play for an hour, and then get stuck on a Nightmarishly Hard level all 'day' eight levels is too many.

As mentioned above for me the Chocolate Box is a two day Event.

I have said this myself Kazza, I really don't understand why every player of the game can't have the same features.

Whoa! One booster a day, but you have 69 gold bars to accidentally spend. I have never had that many gold bars.

I must admit ktr183 that I am not sure whether or not adverts are linked to the device the game is played on. I play on an Android tablet.

Same question to you that I asked Kazza. Have you ever paid for anything in the game?

I agree it really is baffling why every player of the game isn’t playing the same game. I read somewhere that there are over two hundred million players of CCS, maybe that has something to do with it.

@Alienscar the sugar drops were way better than Dexter. You had to collect 180, not hard to do, & by the end you’d won 7 or 8 boosters. It would pause for 12 hours then start again. And it probably was too good, if you win more you buy less. When King removed them they promised to introduce instead much more exciting features. Well, those have been a poor replacement. It was a hugely unpopular decision.

The Chocolate Box is a 2-day event, but in the morning I pass the last quest, play 3 from the new box then do the same thing the next day, so I get the 3 boosters every day.

The Events are ridiculous. 30 gold crowns in 3 days or something like that? I’m lucky to get a couple of gold crowns a week. And probably get through 15 levels or so a week. I don’t have unlimited time to play, I do have real life responsibilities, so I’m fine with that. You can pay your way to the 30 crowns or whatever the Event is, but how is it worth using a ton of boosters & spending $$ on gold bars just to win a few boosters as reward.

And the gold bars, yeah I try to save them for when I really really get stuck, but always lose them by mistake. I should just give up on that strategy. 🙂

I have spent a bit of money in the past, a few dollars here & there, but that was many years ago when I started playing. I haven’t spent anything for a very long time.

Enjoy the lower levels while you can, it only gets tougher!

After getting 180 sugar drops it would restart in 8 hours, not 12. But I personally don't think they were overpowered, as it would usually take an hour or so to get 180 if you wanted to collect them all in one session.

I think that very much depends on who you are when determining what is overpowered or not.

From what you and @Kazza-3 are saying I gather you could obtain 14-16 boosters in one day if you were lucky, or just played after twelve hours had passed.

That is a lot of boosters and from a level designer's/King's point of view maybe that many made the game too 'easy'.

I am beginning to see why the Sugar Drop is missed by so many people. I have noticed that the players at the end of the map seem to play a lot. A couple of hours spread of fourteen hours would be nothing for them, and the boosters, in that quantity, would be invaluable.
