Blue Candies on Level 8328

Hi there @sstone5248 I don't personally know this level but I have just taken a look at one of the old videos from 2020. I can see that in the olden days all your blue or green candies would have come from cascades at the end of play, when all the blockers have been removed and with so few colours on the boards it just used to keep going and going. THAT no longer happens. For several months now King developers have taken steps to hinder players from using old levels to get ahead in contests and fulfil challenges:

At the end of a level like 8328 the algorithm changes so that as soon as you have passed, different coloured candies fill the board, reds and yellows, so we no longer see those long cascades at the end.

They have removed and replaced our favourite go-to levels. Another example is level 2000 which has been sent to the guillotine and replaced by an imposter level. As Pummy mentions the same happened to level 3309. Some in the community think they spy on us here and as soon as we mention a good level it gets removed, but they probably don't need to to that but have an AI sifting through all the levels to pick out the ones that haven't been ruined yet and those fun levels that produce many good cascades.

They also make scrolling back to older levels as hard as can be, of course. Basically what used to be a fun game has been ruined for many players.

@sstone5248 Christine ^ clued me in to your thread. I also posted about this issue the same day as you: https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/420840/kings-new-low-removal-of-post-win-cascade-points I think I see why it's happening, and I messaged King Support the same day I spotted the issue, but got an automated reply neither confirming nor denying its existence. Sadly, I think this change is here to stay.

It is sad though.

it basically eliminates us who are unable to play and beat 200 levels in a week the ability to compete and win some great prizes. BOO king bring those cascades back.
