Level 2

edited March 1 in Discussions

Well that was rather unexpected. Spring came early this year.

Da Rules:

  1. Extra turns allowed
  2. No buying gold
  3. No Hints
  4. Must get to 66 with no lost lives
  5. 6 hour sessions, min 1 a day when possible (Try, but not required)
  6. Rage less, crush more
  7. Zen through Spearmint Snowstorm, I was so hoping and praying that it would not appear haha

Day 1 (to 66)

  1. Avatar started as, seriously what is this one? Changed to
  2. Got a slightly different egg
  3. Level 31 was a bit of a nail biter, not sure why but it always is for me.
  4. Starting boosters messed up 65 as normal, but I think they have updated it to give way more special candies in response. Clearing it was no issue in the end.
  5. Spearmint Snowstorm started at 66 but has been pretty kind so far.
  6. The game seems to be behaving much better. No bugs so far.
  7. The game is not in hardcore mode and I am not getting constant "hard" levels.

    I've just had a go at level 167. I followed all the recommended moves to the last move and passed on my first try. This I guess is the way King now guide newbies through the game. They should keep "hints" turned on and they will pass. It's all a bit automated, not fun of course.

    Some very useful information here as usual @Pyrospring . As you are doing so well in Sweet Sailing (congratulations) is there any chance you could note down the purple score you achieve for exactly one episode? I'm trying to assess if the maximum purple scores per episode are different since the introduction of fishes. Have fun and good luck winning the event.

    Level 2

    2 episodes 104520 total, 52260 per episode or ~116 per level. Also since I use 6 hours endless lives I rush levels and don't take advantage of 9x9s.

    Sunday wrap up, Weekend wrap up, Week one wrap up and that's a wrap for this… joke?

    1. Sundays of late have been neutral as far as the game difficulty goes.
    2. Sunday does seem to be the day that the game allows you to keep the double colour bomb the longest.
    3. Got the double colour bomb on 430 so that was basically ideal.
    4. One thing I noticed about fish is that the cake does not wipe fish out like other boosters.
    5. On day one I actually managed to clear past 225 from 66 in the first 6 hour session. By far the best I have done.
    6. End of the day got past 500 so finally done with the boring sections
    7. Effective results for my Sweet Sailing, I expected 75 gold bars would get a little more competition
    8. Did manage to clear all three Don't Feed The Troll. Interestingly they all kinda played out the same. Regardless if it was 2200, 2500, 2800, none of them really felt any easier or harder.

    Thanks for answering my question. This is very much in line with what I have found. I collected purples for one episode at level 5400ish and scored about 51,000. I have found that all episodes up to a certain level score about the same. I did scroll back to play one episode in the 6000-9000 range, and I won't say which one here in case King will take a look at it, but I managed to score 2833 purple with no multiplier for that episode, so it would have been a whopping 85,000 in a real like scenario. (So I think @MannyFae you were right that those ranges are still much better and the new fishes also don't seem to affect the scores) The fact I had no win streak boosters and few of the levels were first attempt passes might have affected the score though. Some episodes King have not nerfed yet but most now have controlled colour output I think. The observation of your orange candy Don't feed the Troll seems to suggest that this is indeed so. I have found that one episode is not enough to block the troll, but it can be done in 45 minutes. I wonder if those players who get the 3200 orange version are at level ranges with a higher output and that King know about this and so dish out different versions of the event accordingly.

    Congratulations on your easy win in Sweet Sailing. The winners in my games were also around the 500,000 mark, so that seems to be what players are prepared to do for this rather paltry award. Also I suspect that there are pacemaker agents introduced by King into these leaderboards. I have seen some players that remind me of the new Weekly Race competitors King have introduced for us. For example in my leaderboard here:

    The person in second place is a new player, just like those in the Weekly Race. It would not surprise me if these were pacesetters introduced by King to make sure that Autmn at the top has to work for the win.

Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?
