when did candy crush become so impossible???

Pandora90

I am on level 14293, and I have been stuck on it for the past week!

there is absolutely no way to win anything - boosters, gold bars, races!

it seems every level needs gold bars to get through, which I have none of these left!

I used to really enjoy this game, its tag line Is 'swipe the stress away'. It is, in my opinion, one of the most frustrating games I have come across!

I am so close to just deleting the game altogether.

is there anybody else that is having similar issues?

Welcome! 👋

I am in the mid 16000’s…. Finally ready to quit. It’s impossible to pass most levels- even the easy one’s, without the gold bars. Quitting

massal

I understand now that I have to pay real money to win any level

I think it started when I started playing back in 2013!

yes I’m feeling the same. So disappointed in this game, it used to be a fun way to spend lunch breaks. It’s currently an awful game to play ☹️

I agree with all of these comments. I've been playing CCSaga a LONG time. I remember when it was fun. For the last year I have found it frustrating and basically an endurance test to get through 15 levels at a time. I refuse to pay money to play this game!

I’m thinking of leaving also, before I would look forward to next level, not now

ferry34

Im at 15000 without 1 buy.

It is easier than in the beginning cuz you get boosters every time.

I have a look

Maybe you re doing the level wrong.

Cant see anything wrong, but sometimes you don't think and just swipe.

Be smart with boosters

spiller

I agree with all above. Just no fun now!!! ☹️

Recey

Didn't realize it got that bad. I hope they fix things because I've been playing this game for years.

I so agree with all your comments. I have built up a good stash of gold bars but I have noticed for some time once you win a race the next level makes you use gold to beat the level to enter a race. So I made up my mind not going to use my gold bars to enter a race. I am now up to 65 moves and counting with no beating the level in sight unless I use gold bars. Not going to happen this time. There was also a time if you won 7 levels in a row got some gold. Then it went to 9 now it is up to 18 all for a money grab if you don't have a stash of gold. Game is no longer fun. Getting old people. Now offering me 115 moves to beat level...lol..Of course use my gold to win. Nope. Not happening. I am on level 10086. Gets worse every day. Been on this level all day, More to come. Well finally peaked at 125 moves to win level..lol.. Of course, have to use gold to win. My limit of lives is almost gone. Anybody see a pattern here? Well used all my lives for the day never moved on. Let's see how many days, weeks I will be on the same level.

Pandora90

its a relief to know I'm not the only one who is, well frustrated to say the least!

I mean, I like a challenge but King have taken it a step too far!

I miss the way it was a couple of years ago when there were little side games to win boosters, and Otis the owl!

I wish they would 'simplify' the level once you tried a certain amount of times!

I haven't and will not be spending money just to pass a level.

I understand your frustrations, @harrisk29 You have to know by reading these postings that you shouldn't spend real $. If you do spend real money, you lose the ability to get ads. Maybe they'll come back in a month or two.

harrisk29

I'm level 13951 and have been stuck there for a week since a weak moment where I purchased a 99 cent booster pack and now my ads are gone, options to watch an ad for a live are gone, I get very few lives in the game although I do think I have friends who play and send so something is seriously going wrong with this game and I like many of you am ready to delete it. It used to be fun for me and now it is just frustrating and stress inducing not stress relieving anymore.

Very, very true! I remember.

@TitanCrusher I, too, have never spent a dollar and never will!

King definitely has a different way of looking at things, evidently. What they don't understand is that we will NEVER recommend this game. I've done so on Google Play.

Hey, I'm just a narcissist when it comes to Candy Crush Saga! Anymore, I do my daily "chore", try to play a few levels with the hope of winning them, then move on with my day. Building up my boosters though. LOL.

Have a great day, y'all!

Good points. I am only at level 7,000 but I have read the feedback from players at the highest levels. It’s obvious that the strategy is to make the new level extremely difficult and force the players who have been at it many years to pay.

King is obviously fine with people getting frustrated and quitting when they are at the 14k levels. They want players to either pay or go away. I have never spent a $1 and never will.

christinewupp

It think it all started during lockdown. They saw people stuck at home with nothing to do and thought, "How can we profit from that?". I remember this well. They decided to give everyone a "gift" of indefinite lives for something like 12 hours, and at the same time made levels harder to win. A combination that pays off: Frustration rather than relaxation. Players stuck on a level would pay to pass on: Gold, money.... It's been like that ever since. Only now they have changed from giving indefinite lives to timed boosters, which seem to pay better off for them. Either way this game has become a frustration machine using whatever method they can think of to frustrate and coerce addicted players into spending money.

And as soon as anyone is having fun playing again, they take away whatever it was that made the game enjoyable. Anyone at the higher levels who never spends money on the game, why would they care about us?

So you pay money to earn pretend gold? Or at best you pay pretend gold to win pretend gold? Not my idea of fun.

stevethomas3838

Candy Royale is a great way to obtain gold bars, as long as you pay to keep your win streak alive! Love it!

stevethomas3838

Understand the frustration, the fun is gone when you have to pay to pass a level, can’t do that anymore! I’ll have to spend my entertainment dollars elsewhere!
