What’s happened to all the booster opportunities

what is going on with the no booster opportunities anymore or getting 6 extra moves and a candy bomb when you are close to finishing a level. Not having these opportunities makes this game terrible to play and extremely difficult!! Not liking this at all!

Welcome! 👋

I am so old, stubborn, and feisty I'm no longer spending any bonuses in my inventory/gold bars, NOTHING!

I get my knickers in a knot when anyone/anything tries to twist my arm/mind.

Game On Algorithm, we're gonna have one heck of a long "Come To Jesus" meeting!💪🏼😅

No, @Sprockytown we aren't talking of making of a purchase of the item that was advertised. We mean that any in app purchase of boosters or gold in Candy Crush will make the chance to gain boosters by watching adverts disappear.

Du verstehst falsch, was Rhonda zu erklären versuchte. Es geht nicht darum, ob man etwas kauft, was in der Werbung angeboten wird. Es geht darum, dass wenn man im Candy Crush Spiel Booster oder Goldbarren kauft, man bald darauf keine Werbung mehr im Spiel sehen wird. Von dem Moment an wird man keine Gratisbooster durch das Anschauen von Werbespots mehr erhalten.

The saucers with ads will come back. I notice there are different options with ads, sometimes they stayed the same for the whole episode race (6 or 4 extra moves + ufo, which is very powerful/ helpful), sometimes they changed to less wanted options (5-6 moves or 3-4 moves with color bomb). Sometimes they disappeared for several levels and came back after I restarted the game. Same with pre-game boosters ads.

So, either restarting the game or taking a break from it has worked for me to kinda trigger the ads to come back. Sometimes, when I didn't play any levels, I spent time watching ads to collect boosters from the cinema or hot air balloon. Of course, I'm a cheap and poor player, so King shouldn't expect any spending from me 😁.

Now you just nailed it too @TerminatorBarbie ! Our time is in indeed precious! I never had the patience to sit through watching adverts playing Candy Crush and when some of them are half a minute long then that can be so irritating. I much prefer the game without them. And now they no longer give the UFOs I think they are mostly a waste of time.

That is King for you. Giving you the UFO as well makes it easy to pass the level. Those UFOs are quite powerful. Players spending cash gives them a much better income than they get through advertising. So they want us all to swap over to pay to play.

Same thing I'm experiencing.

Just extra moves isn't worth watching the ads.

They think they can lock us into watching 4 ads for a very slight chance of completing the level.

I quit watching the ads.

I am missing the saucer with extra moves now I only get 5 extra moves no saucer

You just nailed it!

There is a ton of psychology/ mental manipulation involved.

My feet are dug in, I only watch if I just leveled up.

When the game locks up to push me to watch the 3 at the end I refuse. I'll stick it out on the same level.

Our time is worth money too!

Ya if someone was in the mood and compiled all the relative info we have found it would be pretty shocking to most people.

I’ve found that there tend to be certain times of the day where the game is more generous. If you’re a night owl, for example, playing after midnight often gives the best ad and booster support. The game tends to hold ads back during weekends and peak playing hours (afternoons and early evenings).

Also, it helps to quit the game for a while. Open it just get your daily treat streak going, but don’t play. Do that for a few days, then the more generous ad and booster options will reappear. But once they think you’re hooked again, the ads will go, and you’ll have to take a break again.

No, of course they aren't really testing in the true sense of the word.

Every aspect of Candy Crush is an ongoing test in some way: King continually calculate how much players spend on the game and readjust the events each player gets, including ads-or-no-ads, and level difficulty (including what triggers a lucky board and after how many attempts you get one), according to what their calculations tell them. They recalculate continuously to make sure the game remains unpredictable, interesting and addictive, so yes they test and test and test without the test ever ending.

Still adds and boosters gone I dont belive it testing not over 2 or 3 yrs more like wanting us to pay for moves

Is the device (cell phone) you're playing on out of space?

I can't open the chocolate box. It tells me it's timed out and below "Restart or try later. Do not reinstall the game" and it's been like this for almost 1 year

TerminatorBarbie

I understand, and best wishes to you going forward.

Darrific1

well I am definitely not playing nearly as much as I used to. Way to difficult to get anywhere or obtain gold bars to help you move through the game. Seems a terrible way to treat your long standing players! I’m out!

Yup!

Iearned that a couple of years via a .99 cent purchase.

Right after making a purchase I got a warning from PayPal that someone was attempting to compromise my account.

I hadn't used that PayPal account for anything else in years.

I instantly shut down my PayPal account and never paid to play again.

If CCS wants to take commercials away it would only be themselves they're hurting.

According to the digital site: costs-per-click are $. 70 for a display ad on Candy Crush, per a media buyer.Feb 6, 2024.

CCS generated 956 million US dollars in 2023.

I guess they make enough that they don't care if a group of us quit watching the ads.🤷🏼‍♀️

@Darrific1 Maybe you made a purchase? Therefore, your ability to watch ads doesn't happen. Once you make a purchase, you lose your ads. It's been explained time and time again. 😸
