It is interesting isn't it @teenybee I'll be very interested to see if I actually get a response. Just seems King is removing everything and making levels impossible to pass. I also posted about the new team feature replacing F5, asked 2 Candy Moderators if there was an update being as we lost F5 over a week ago. To date I haven't had a response all that's happened is my post was added to the 'Fantastic 5 - Where did it go' strand.
I don't think anyone knows what is happening, even King seem to have lost the plot.
Hopefully we will get the Episode Race back soon and the replacement for F5, otherwise what's the point. Oh yes of course, pay or don't play.
The Checkered flag icon finally appeared today after missing for 2 weeks in my game. But the race couldn't start. I went through the whole episode without any ability to start the race. After every level it kept giving me a message 'you need to pass level #xx' even though it was already passed. I thought maybe it will start working in the next episode, but nope, same thing. See screenshot.
And just now the episode race icon is gone completely after restarting a game. 🤦♀️ Can they just FIX IT ??!!
I got the episode race flag yesterday saying complete level 12535 to start your race:
So I played hard even ended up using (wasting) 10 gold bars as again another completely impossible level with the moves given, needed 25 extra moves. Passed it but no episode race appeared, clicked on the flag again and this is what I got:
Yes complete level 12546. What is going on @QueenB @FluffyDinosaur this is not fair play by King and another major glitch upsetting and annoying players. Would also appreciate the 10 gold being put back in my GB bank as I only used them to get the episode race back.
Thank you.
@Carol-38 yes, the exact thing have happened to me, see above.
@Diamond_Lim @kiara_wael @Crazy Cat Lad dear admins, we need an update on this please. At least on this. The past few weeks (months?) have been extremely frustrating. Don't you send feedback back to King? The amount of unhappy players have skyrocketed
