@Alienscar Currently I have finished level 14,960 I have not had the episode race since I reached the 14,000. The flag would sometime appear but would disappear after playing the 1st board. Since Christine has still has it that definitely shows that we are not all playing the same game.
Thanks @cookiemae yours is the comment I am used to seeing for any player that is within 100 hundred levels or so of the end of the map. As I said I think Christine is the first person to say they have no issues with the Episode Race when they are playing at the end of the map. It would be nice to know how common Christine's position is.
I thought since I play on mobile and am therefore always two weeks' play behind the top PC users, that would explain why I always get the episode race. I assumed that everyone on mobile would have it as well. But you never know with King. I hope I'll see the flag tomorrow when I open the game for the new levels.
I just played my Champions Race for levels 14916-14930, the 1st episode released last Wednesday on HTML5 version ( Windows 10/11).
I used to clear all newly released episodes on the day of release, and envied other players (including my other family accounts) having gold bars from Champions Race.
That routine was changed since I learnt from here that the Race is all about racing against recordings of other players, and there aren't enough recordings of played newly released levels yet on the day of their release.
My current routine is to save these new episodes for about a week and wait for the flag to be hoisted up.
As I understand it, CCS on Facebook platform as well as on mobile devices is 6 episodes (90 levels) behind the HTML5 version. The top level in FB is currently 14870, not 14960.
By the time the HTML5 versions are released in FB and mobile, there are more than enough recordings for Episode/Champions Race purposes. My 2 other family accounts at the top end of game map playing on FB have Champions Race all these while.
Did anyone else get the option of watching ads after winning the champions race for +3 & +5 extra gold bars on top of the usual 45?
Yes I did Arrowflinger. My penultimate episode didn't offer me the Champions Race, then the last episode did and I completed it 1st and watched an advert for 3 extra gold. Guessing they had removed it to add that feature. I wonder if those coming 2nd to 5th got an advert to win another timed colour bomb 🤔
I wouldn't be surprised if King didn't actually do that with the colour bombs for the other places. If I wasn't racing against bots I'd rather the extra gold went to the other places.
@MonicaYellow .Great idea! I will not play this week on my accounts and see if I get it. My issue has been that when the levels are released they seem easier the to play. They are not rated. That for whatever reason I am able to pass all levels with starting boosters only. So I just finished up the same day as the released. Will try again to not play on my main account. (Lol)
@christinewupp Now that I'm mentioning it, it may change. Jules could try 14564. Pretty easy and not so far to scroll. Just remember to hit the CB+orange first, ASAP.
None of my family accounts, 3 top end, 1 at 7000+, the last one at 1300+, has ever have watching ads for gold bars feature. Neither do we have Weekly Contests.
Just curious, are these features available on mobile devices only?
