At last, I finally received some assistance (level 15886). Sadly, the boosters didn’t help but appreciate it 🙂

It could @cookiemae but I think King are being crafty again. I always have a go when I get Help a Friend and I really have to hold myself back when on the last move I could pass if I used a Lollipop Hammer. I'm sure there are many using their own boosters to help others, but let's face it a lot of us need them so much in our own games now. I actually passed one today which was great and no I didn't use any of my own boosters, just got lucky 😁
@Carol-38 Agree also. I wouldn't mind if I helped and they passed the level. I don't want to use a booster either and not get a reward for helping. It could have been a great addition if King had done it right.
@Carol-38 Agree with you about the feature, no-one gains anything - helper or the helped. And given the effort in obtaining boosters/gold, I don’t think anyone would expect you to part with any of them so easily.
I don’t see any of those adjectives you listed at the end btw - always very helpful 🙂
Hi @Charleyfarley sorry but I am unable to confirm what you are asking. I'm sure you've read my comments before on Help a Friend and if you have you will know I'm not a fan. I do get it in my game and I do try the 3 attempts given, but I never use any of my hard earned boosters or gold, which unfortunately have always been needed for the ones I have had. I've watched too many adverts, played so many side games and Seasons Pass 😪 now that's another story, to get them, and I desperately need them for my own game. On top of all of that, does King ask the players if they want help or have they just taken control again? Sorry to go on but I feel it's something else King have thought of to get kind, helpful players to use their boosters and gold. And as you know even if the helper passes the level the player helped gets a few boosters but still needs to replay it and pass themselves. Instead of Help a Friend why don't we all just get more side games to gain boosters, which would be the same help for those who have been given to others to help. So yes I'll say it first, miserable, unhelpful, unkind Carol-38, I'll hold my hands up to that 🙌.
I don't know for sure, but King being King I would think they only get the one chance.
My suspicion as to the purpose of this event, like just about every feature of the game at the moment, is to put us under pressure to use gold to play on or use boosters to get that last jelly or liquorice. A player who knows that a friends has gone to all this trouble to help them will feel pressurised into making the most of the opportunity and having the extra boosters will probably get them close enough to almost pass the level if they use a booster or pay the gold. Not having been on the receiving end of this feature I cannot test this out, but I suspect the extra boosters will get a player close to passing, similar to the way I find that on my attempt after I see the fishing boat I get quite close.
I am not at all convinced this event is useful to anyone, not even King, because anyone stuck for long enough to be included in this was already offered 100 extra moves for 10 gold. (Then again, their incessant nagging must pay off eventually or else why do they still offer up to 255 extra moves when it only takes one or two more moves to win most levels under 10,000.) Those of us able to help others may feel good about it, I guess, but that won't last if we realise the player remains stuck at the same level despite our efforts to help them. As far as I can see the main outcome of this feature is that many players now think they can or should be able to request help from their friends themselves and come here to the community asking how to do it.
I can't really confirm anything about this feature @Charleyfarley as I have never been on the receiving end of any help
I have had the opportunity to help six people, but I have never had a repeat request for any player even though some of those I have helped are still stuck on the same level.
@Oichi @christinewupp That’s a good question. I’m fairly sure I’ve never claimed more than 1 set of boosters for the same level donated by the same player - but that just might be coincidence.
Copying in @QueenB @queenbee9214 @Alienscar @Carol-38 in case any of them can confirm.
@Charleyfarley Do you only get the boosters for 1 attempt only? after claiming the help boosters.
Hello Christine - I got a pop up message offering 3 boosters and a ‘claim’ button and, yes, naming the player who had offered assistance. After claiming, the boosters showed up on my board as usual. The helper gets 3 attempts to collect the boosters and doesn’t lose any of their lives while so doing.
@christinewupp Hello Christine, the process begins with a pop up saying ‘we noticed you’re stuck on a particular level’. Then another pop up offers you 3 boosters, identifying the helper.
After you claim the boosters, they are automatically added to your next board as if you had used them from your own inventory.
The helper has 3 attempts to pass the level in order to donate the 3 boosters to the player receiving the help. Apologies if you knew this already - it might help others anyway 🙂
Hi @Charleyfarley I am amazed that a player was able to help you at this level! I also get the Help a Friend event again in my game but now that I no longer can collect so many free boosters I have not been able to pass a level to help a friend. It is not surprising to read that their efforts did not help you pass. It's probably another one of King's psychological tricks to get us to play on for money so not to waste our friend's efforts and the lifeline we were thrown. I am still trying to understand how this event works. Did those boosters show up on your starting board like the win streak boosters do? Did the game tell you which one of your friends sent you the help?
np Carol/Christine - quite understand 🙂
Hi @Charleyfarley I am honoured but I prefer to remain anonymous. I'm not the chatting type and spend too much time on both the game and in this community lately. I don't like all this attention I've been getting lately.
Hi @Charleyfarley thanks for the offer, but for the time being I would prefer not to, sorry.
