You want to reach the end of Candy Crush? Think again!

No episode race this week for me. So not even an incentive to play the new levels.

I knew you'd be the one to chip in with some positive comments @cookiemae and of course I understand what you mean. In fact the very fact that you were essentially "brought up" on playing the kind of game that you play - just you against the game with no side games- means you don't miss them now. Your style of playing and enjoyment is different from players used to side games.

It's great that you still enjoy the game at the top. Of course not every player up there is a pour soul who has nothing in their lives, but I'm sure that some are and I was deliberately being a bit tongue in cheek with that comment. I don't mean you and I don't mean myself either: I play Candy Crush on three accounts at a time and I spend a couple of hours each day on this game, not to mention the amount of time I spend here in the community, so I'm sure people here wonder if I have nothing better to do. I do what I enjoy at the right time of day I enjoy doing it and I certainly do also have a full and active life outside Candy Crush as well. I think all of us here have. Those who don't are too busy playing Candy Crush than to come here to the community. I don't think any of us are addicted either: Addiction is defined in a way meaning that whatever you are addicted to interferes with your life and makes you unhappy or not fulfil your duties. Anyone who enjoys playing and plays only at the time they choose when they want to play is not really an addict but a person spending time playing a game they enjoy. Keep enjoying and Happy Crushing!

@cookiemae Yes the star tournament is real and I remember seeing you as well! The star tournament in itself is a total waste but if you are at the end of the map and trying to keep your gold chocolate box alive or collecting blue candies for top that it is a necessary evil and when we used to get to play tournaments it was also useful. so… That part!

@christinewupp I have no issue playing the star tournament and have an enormous amount of boosters from winning. Hundreds of each boosters (not party boosters) but othe others. Also I never had most events just the basic every day ones. The people that play in the star tournament are real as well. Once I had @Boybinary in one of my star tournament. I enjoy playing this tournament and regular candy crush plus before I came to this forum I was not aware of the side games. Anyway I am most of time at the top of the map and yes I do have a life and I am not a poor soul. I may be addicted somewhat to the game since I have played it daily for over 12 years. People complain about side games say the game is boring without since I never had them so I don't suffer from boredom.

You're probably right; I'll find out for myself in about a month when I get there.

Don't expect too much from the Star Tournament. It's repetitive as the levels loop around eventually and I'm not convinced that the opponents are real. I'm not sure how it works but it might be fixed in a way that the episode race is and the other players are just recordings. You can't click on their avatars and the top scores are just ridiculous. It really isn't worth bothering with.

Every level is impossible to pass without boosters or gold bars. There is a maximum of 6 stars per level if you get sugar stars. I often get two or three stars awarded per level. The top three players must have passed more than 100 levels.

These are the potential rewards:

It is an event only for absolute addicts and those poor souls who have nothing in their lives other than Candy Crush.

As I said, the goal for me has been to get to the end of the map. After that, I might play the 45 levels each week just for completeness' sake, but I will be happy because I'm "finished" with Candy Crush, which was my whole goal anyway. So I am quite sure I want to get to the end of the map; I'm ready to go into the Candy Crush "retirement" of doing 45 levels a week and otherwise not playing much.

And I do still look forward to the challenge of the star tournament. I want to see how well I can do at it. If there are levels that give "oops" much, I guess there's not much you can do if you only get one chance at a level. But otherwise I'd like to think I can make progress there.

Just to point out, @Nobody1, that part of the reason the Star Tournament is so difficult is that you only get one attempt at each level. So having a lot of gold bars wouldn’t help you much since you can only buy 5 extra lives on any level.

I couldn’t agree more, @christinewupp, and I thought about posting something similar in response to @Nobody1’s original post.

Anyone whose aim is to reach the top of the map, please take heed of what Christine has said. The buzz you get from doing so doesn’t last long when the reality hits that, with only 45 new levels a week, you will win nothing in any leaderboard contest that requires passing new levels (which is pretty much all of them at this stage- even the old reliable Candy Collection is new levels only now), nor in Don’t Feed the Troll, Top That, the Weekly Race etc etc. Plus the Gold chocolate box eats into your good boosters (assuming you have any left by then) when you haven’t the option of playing new levels. And for most if the week, you’ll have nothing to work on.

It gets old very fast.

Iam at the end too and it’s not worth it . Only to get 45 new levels on every Wednesday. We miss out on so much not worth playing anymore.

Heh. I actually want to reach the end so I can feel good about quitting. 😀 I hate leaving things unfinished, and this way I won't have to. I will probably not be able to resist playing the new 45 levels every week just to stay at the end, and I might try to "win" the star tournament one week just to say I did it (even though I know that from a reward standpoint it's totally and ridiculously not worth it; I have the gold bars such that it should be possible), but my main goal is to go into Candy Crush retirement. I can say I basically conquered that game, and move on to something else.

Not sure why they shut down Events when you reach the end of current levels, but it's frustrating. If I have to go much longer without being able to play, they might have cured me of my addiction to this game.
