Bring the ads back!

Very frustrated that they took away the option for free boosters when you watch ads. It was like a little bonus and made the game fun. Making boosters and lives a reward is a better option than punishing players and making them pay for them. The fun of the game is gone.

Welcome! 👋

I've been playing this game for over 7 years! It's never been so bad. It seems that they intentionally do it. The chocolate box is awful, sometimes it's impossible to win the prize specially in higher levels! The ads are gone and I haven't been able to connect to the store for one year! The combos just go vertical. I'm really considering deleting the game.

We all have asked for the PTB at King to come onto this site and explain themselves. Why they've made these stupid changes that don't work, why they try to fix things that ain't broke, why they keep saying, via Moderators, "it's a 'test'" when we all know these so called tests have been going on for well over 5+ years!

It's to no avail, @marthalaka King doesn't care and they refuse to explain themselves. They leave it up to the poor Moderators to try to smooth things over with the players, IMO.

Everyday, this game gets worse. Very sad I must say. I don't foresee it getting better or even close to the enjoyment it was back in the day.

I'll stick around, but barely.

Much luck to all for putting up with this supposed free game.

Happy Crushin' y'all!

SO NO RESPONSE FROM YOU CANDY CRUSH ADMINISTRATORS!!!! AGAIN.....I CALL FOUL ON YOUR "contests". You pit us in weekly challenges and with people that COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE at our level...or they are spending a TON OF MONEY!!!!! You also make it impossible to win high levels with your small amount of moves but "oh, if you spend money on gold bars" you can get a ridiculous number of extra moves. SUCH A SCAM!!! I'm at level 13813, I've been here for DAYS or even a week, not sure as I just give up and everytime you offer me a deal, be it $1.99 or a few dollars more I scoff...I've saved up all my boosters and used them all up on this level FOR NO GAIN OR even passing this level, do you really think I'm dumb enough to buy boosters for the same results (or is is rigged that if you do spend the money the boosters work better?)? Thanks for being so sympathetic in these hard financial times (we're a one income household for the first time in 35 years)...by taking ads away for more moves and trying to force your loyal players into spending money and not giving us adds for extra moves. REAL NICE OF YOU....NOT!!!!! Relax and play.....who are you kidding.

I’m on level 14,240’s. Obviously I’ve been playing this for many years consistently. They have made these level’s impossible to pass with the amount of moves. I’m very sad that I basically have to stop playing because there is no fun anymore. And ads are taken away which made it worse. Will not pay for gold bars anymore. So much for “take away your stress”

nawlinslady5029

That’s exactly what I was saying. The game is so boring now. Playing the same level over and over and getting nowhere. And I also do support the game and buy boosters when I can but that stopped as of today. I’m not rich. I have failed at every side adventure because I can’t get anywhere. I’m on level 9106. I loved the hot air balloon and watching an ad before a game started to get help. Please bring this back!

marthalaka

OH, I think I'm competing with people over 5000 levels lower than where I am. NOT an even playing field and now they are making us play with strangers that they made us "add". Not sure if that is opening our devices up to hackers , don't know enough about the workings of devices but it seems iffy to me....anyone know the answer?

It's total mush and you're right. I NEVER HAD TO SPEND DAY UPON DAY ON A LEVEL...now if it doesn't take a week I'm lucky....AND...don't get me started on the fact that who the heck am I playing against in the races and the weekly challenges? What level are they on? Seriously someone at the top is passing 33 plus levels some weeks in a row...you cannot tell me that they aren't spending a fortune on gold bars...that's just dumb. RELAX AND PLAY - you really don't get it do you.

marthalaka

Why don't you try to squeeze enough money out of us so we all leave Candy Crush...seems like you're doing your best to make that happen. Give us back ads for additional moves, etc... You make money on ADs all of us players for so many years that are at very high levels cannot progress unless we spend money I don't know who's on the other end of these changes but their name must be Mulvaney. You are obviously convincing loyal fans that you are not worth a dime of spending. It's not like you can win money if you make a small deposit to start from. As for me, I'm playing 3 separate solitaire games where I can get funds to keep playing from watching videos and doing practice runs. I will spend my money there....you are just a game with no rewards and getting too big for your britches...so there! As for the levels...SERIOUSLY 100/200/250 ADDITIONAL MOVES offered (for a price) YOU KNOW THEY ARE UNWINNABLE without extra moves. If they were no one would ever need that many extra moves to lure them to spend the money!!!!!! WE ARE NOT STUPID!

I need someone from this company to explain how ads stay in test mode for YEARS and you provide the same response that "not everyone sees ads". It is not a coincidence that the instant I used some free Google play money to buy a few boosters because my Google play rewards were about to expire my ads just disappeared after the purchase and have not returned when I have had the ads for YEARS.....I don't understand how your company doesn't want to ad revenue from EVERY player in the game.....because I am someone that will not spend real money, if I have free money from taking Google surveys I may have spent some on this game but knowing it takes away my ads from boosters I will never again spend a penny, even if it was free to me, so no revenue from me for you company any more. I would think you would want player input and customize to your audience but clearly the company does not care about us based on all these forums...

briclep

Who do you think you're fooling? I was out of work for a couple years helping an ill parent. Once I returned to work and could buy boosters, the 'ads for boosters option' disappeared. If I want to pay, ill pay but to remove the option for a little help now and then is shameful. 10 year player 😞

I've never had the option of watching ads for free boosters, i only found out about them from my sister. I wish i got that option too.

What can I do to have ads???

@kiara_wael Please stop with the canned messages. We're not stupid!

And, the excuse that Ads are a "test" experiment? Please. I've had ads for years. Must be a dang long experiment!

So sorry for those that don't have Ads. If you pay real $ for anything, the Ads disappear. From what I've read here, they may come back in a couple months.

Speaking of ads, King brought Zaxby's back as an ad. Great, wonderful. Doing the same thing as before... opening and closing quick and not giving boosters or free moves.

Way to go, King! Got a canned message for that @kiara_wael ?

Have a great day, y'all.

mandy82

So how to bring back the adds?

Was really having fun, when all of a sudden stopped getting option to win boosters by watching ads. 🥺

I TOTALLY AGREE GAME IS GETTING BORING AND I'M THINKING OF PUTTING IT DOWN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. CURRENTLY ON LEVEL 12724

brianbrennan

Was wondering why adds are gone. game has become more difficult with no added boosters stuck on level 13177 for nearly 3 weeks was thinking of leaving game after all the years need boosters to keep interested in playing. Hopefully won't keep happening.

I agree! I have found that the game gets boring when you are playing the same level....over and over and over.....

Hi and Welcome to the King Community

Thank you for the feedback. The video ad feature as all ads and promotional features is still a test feature in the game, which means that some of you can get Lives, while others can get Boosters or other items from this feature.

This also means that the video ads will not always be available and not found in all player's games or on all devices.

So if you at the moment are missing the ads in your game, just stay tuned and keep an eye in the game to see when the ads are back.

how to pass level 18332 and you guys stop the booster and the extra moves and my son ahead of me in the game and he still gets the extra move and boosters
Party booster
I’m supposed to get an offer for a party booster when I pass the level. It seems like Candy Crush doesn’t offer it when I already have gold to spend, but if I don’t, they offer it right away so I can purchase gold to obtain it. Shaking my head. When I reach level 255 and try to pass it, they usually offer a 20-minute Party…
