What I want for Christmas from King 🎄🎅🏼

christinewupp

I know it may be a bit late for Christmas Wishes. But this is what I would want for Christmas from King:

The return of landscape mode for tablets
A generous gift of gold bars for every player, with no strings attached. Too many of my friends are struggling to complete levels and some have given up playing altogether. A gift of 50 or 100 gold bars for everyone might just get some struggling players back on their feet and enjoy the game like I do. It would be much appreaciated I am sure. And it won't cost King anything, because the gold is, after all, not real

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄

Welcome! 👋

HELLO KING COMMUNITY I DIDN'T SEE MY IPHONE14 YET I AM WAITING ONCE I RECEIVE IT I WILL POST THE PICTURE OF MY PHONE TO THE COMMUNITY.

Christinewupp, you are obviously a skilled player. I’m using some of your very own quotes to prove it 😄

“I wouldn't know how to play so quickly if I hadn't been playing for many years. Experience certainly plays a part.”- you’ve honed your skills over the years!

“It was just having fun playing boosters wisely”- the decisions you make with boosters affect the outcome!

“For me, my strategy of fast play works.”- strategy would have no bearing if the game was rigged!

“I started my latest game in the summer to test out how far I would get using no cheats at all nor spending any money and this is how far I am now on that one.”- your skills have you cruising through those levels, whereas a beginner would struggle so much!

@hickhighs I have three games, of which I enclose the screenshots as you seem to be doubting that I am telling the truth. I wouldn't know how to play so quickly if I hadn't been playing for many years. Experience certainly plays a part, you get used to the patterns and recognise them very quickly without having to think. All of my three games I can play an episode in half an hour because I enjoy playing fast and I am by no means the only one. It's the only way to top any of the leaderboard events since King introduced the 30x multiplier for new levels. One way I do it is to take advantage of the timed boosters I get on a Monday morning by having won the weekly race and Sam's streak, and then often the 5 min chocolate box UFO ads to that. I managed to get through an episode in 19 minutes once, that was my record when I had a timed party popper from Sam's streak. If I manage to keep my win streak then I can zoom through levels with many moves to spare.

Of course I use boosters! Candy Crush in 2023 is decidedly designed to be played using boosters, now more than ever before. If you play quickly like I do then you will of course automatically win every episode/champions race, so that refills my gold. I agree that King are making it difficult to play without spending money or cheating at the higher levels now and it angers me, too. The game is grossly unfair and favours the cheaters in every event they run.

I started my latest game in the summer to test out how far I would get using no cheats at all nor spending any money and this is how far I am now on that one. I admit I am not making a gold profit at the moment on that game as I do spend my gold to buy boosters, but so far I get by and still enjoy the game.

These are my other two games.

For me, my strategy of fast play works. I don't enjoy playing if I get stuck on a level too long, so I quit and try again and quit and try again until one single booster at the end, or 10 gold to play on, will pass it. As I said above, everyone has a different playing style. Just enjoy the game, your way. But I am surprised any of you still enjoy playing Candy Crush trying to pass levels without boosters. To me it seems so pointless, as it's just watching candies drop until the game lets you pass. I also don't understand why players continue to play if they find the game nothing but frustrating. If everyone stopped playing when the game is no longer enjoyable, then maybe King would make the game fun again for everyone.

I think we should close this thread now as Christmas is over and I didn't get the present I wished for from King. No surprises there.

Happy New Year!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS WISHES ALL TO CELEBRATE PEACEFULLY. I WANT ONE IPHONE 14 FROM THE KING

@christinewupp are you just starting off the game because there is no way to complete two episodes in under one hour. There is also no way of playing higher levels without boosters and if you use boosters there is no way to end up with 10500 bars because you will constantly keep using them for boosters. So the point is that you are painting a rosier picture of the game as it is today than how most of us experience it. It is nothing but frustrating.

christinewupp

Sorry you can't get rid of Candy Royale by turning wifi off, @snowcrab . I thought it might work, but couldn't try it out myself because I am always glad when it shows up in my game.

I guess we will have to agree to differ on the skills question. It's probably a question of how you define "skill". I played two episodes just now in under one hour, won the 21 level version of Candy Royale and two champions races in the process and enjoyed the game as well, bringing my gold balance to over 10,500 now. But I just don't think skill was involved in any of it! It was just having fun playing boosters wisely and playing as the game intended me to play. I think they've made the levels easier to pass again today (being Monday, when there is no competition going), so taking advantage of when the going is good, it's a good opportunity to make some gold to buy boosters to play the game, and enjoy the game. We all have a different style of playing and a different idea of what it means to play skillfully. Some of us zoom through the levels like I do, others take a week and wait until the game lets them pass. Either way it's fine if you enjoy playing that way and either way there is pattern recognition involved of course, but for me skill is just something different altogether.

Yes, there is skill. You have to look many moves ahead to see what the effect of any given move will be. Some boards may be more difficult than others, but the notion that the game is entirely “rigged” is nonsensical and unproven. Not giving us enough moves is a major way they make it seemingly impossible to win.

The way I look at it - being almost at level 9000 it SHOULD be extremely difficult, and I’m ok with that. I’m just tired of the unnecessary animations and sidetrash games.

And Wupp- I go off of wifi and CR is still there every time.

@christinewupp I do think it takes some skill to complete levels. The skill for me is to work out after the 1st-3rd move what moves might complete the board or beat the pre determined fix. Briefly studying the board as you make moves. I don't make random moves. It is a skill to a certain degree. I think that was what @snowcrab was talking about.

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/2911082#Comment_2911082

Skill? I think you are kidding yourself here. The game is 100% pre determined and fixed by King. You'll win a level when the game lets you win. On another note, you must have a lot of patience closing and opening the game a hundred times just to get rid of Candy Royale. Wouldn't it be easier to just play offline? I mean, if you don't like to use gold or boosters, then you could play offline and surely then Candy Royale won't pop up all the time? Just a thought....

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/2911073#Comment_2911073

It’s totally possible to win with skill. I can’t imagine paying to beat a game. Sometimes I’m stuck for a week. Sometimes I beat 15 levels in a day. However, with the introduction of candy royale that has all changed. If I’m lucky enough to NOT have CR pop up (sometimes takes closing and reopening the app a hundred times) then I can play. If I don’t beat the level I am able to “play again”. BUT if I happen to beat the level, it tries yet again to force me into CR a zillion times. This takes all the fun out of the game. They have essentially ground me to a halt.

I don't pay for the game either, but it's still nice to get some gold bars. They are not real. I don't know how you manage to progress in the game without gold bars. Veeeeeeeery slooooooooowly, I guess. Not for me, I don't have your patience. I would definitely not enjoy playing without boosters either. It's just waiting for the game to let you win and then watching the candies drop. Boring.

snowcrab

How about we tell them to keep their gold bars- and all the other extraneous and unnecessary detritus that is dragging down the fun of just playing candy crush.

I am on level 8858. I don’t spend a cent on this game. You don’t have to either. You can beat the levels without boosters. It is SO much more fun to win without paying for it. You just have to be patient and keep trying.

At this point the real game is how people are played into forking over their hard earned money to buy their way into the next money trap. It’s endless. And pointless.

It doesn't look like anyone at King is feeling the Christmas spirit. The humans have all gone off to celebrate and forgotten to tell the bots to turn the lucky boards back on for Christmas.

Well, have a good Christmas everyone, and don't waste your time playing Candy Crush until next week!!

Or maybe next year....

hickhighs

Honestly, 50 or 100 bars will only get you through 3 or 4 levels. We need at least 1000 bars for everyone.
