Blue Candies on Level 8328

Level 3
in Discussions
Whenever there is a contest where we need to collect blue candies, I always have turned to the old reliable level 8328. I would consistently collect 7,000 - 8,000 blues per game. Now, with the pinata contest, I am only getting about 650 per game. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful I can play to win a party booster, I'm just wondering if others are experiencing the same thing?

Hello @sstone5248🤗 Hearty Welcome back to our Candy Community!
Yes! I have noticed that too!! For me, it was always level 3309 - which was a great source for Blue and Green Candies (color bombs - not so much)! But, it was changed completely!!
Not just these 2 levels, but many other levels too!!
Candy Studio keep changing levels so often and remove our "favorite" things.... may be to challenge us!! I really don't know😶

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.

I think adding other colours to the end of level cascades is one of the few changes king have made over the years thats for the better. Before the change i was frequently waiting between 10 - 20 minutes for all the explosions to stop and the level to end.

@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.

Sure, it was frustrating when there was no way to stop the cascades. But then they added the Skip button which solved the issue.
The whole "adding more colors to the end-of-level cascades" is just extra! It's like, what's the point of the Skip button then. 😂

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.

You are quite right with this, and also the cascades were fun! They just remove every little fun element from this game, bit by bit.
