Build a Bot boosters available for previous levels

Please keep the build a bot etc boosters available to players waiting for new levels. As it is, we can't participate in a lot of the challenges & contests. Now that the build a bot boosters aren't available for replayed levels, there's no incentive to play until new levels are released. Please reinstate the boosters for everyone!

I think the new update of build a bot is making candy crush a dreadful experience. I’ve been playing for five years, and am waiting for them to make build a bot available for previous levels before I start playing again, unless I win a competition. The levels are too hard to win without boosters *and* I’m not buying any or using any of my own until then. @Dorn

In the following pictures, the 1st one the highlighted “ideas” (highlighted in green in the pic below) click this, literally scroll up directly from where you are reading right now, then it will be the first topic “build a bot boosters available for previous levels” and it will have an upvote tabby thing on the left of the topic

Ok so there has been 8.8 yes eight point eight THOUSAND VIEWS on this single thread yet ONLY A MERE 100 votes??! I realize out of those 8.8k a lot are repeat viewers and cannot re-vote, but there has got to be more votes then this!!! Moreover, someone idea-Ed “turn off hints for CCS” this has less than HALF the amount of votes of this thread AND THEY LISTENED!!! There is something very very wrong with that!

jujube

I'm with everyone else. This past Monday I lost my ability to go back and play previous levels to build the booster up. I wish they would put it back to the way it was.

I’m still waiting on a respons from “Elsa” as to if she loses her build a bot every Monday like the rest of us, if she too VOTED on doing away with this new build-a-bot and what her thoughts were....asked like 3 days ago.

cc works to undermine strategies that avoid paying , i am on 3690+ never paid a penny , wo old builda bot saga is boring. most annoying is we all seem to be playing with different rules. we are being played by the new owners

samkat59

Please let us build booster bots by playing previous levels. You’ve taken away my incentive to play. Its just sad now. You’ll get no more money from me with these kinds of changes

outlaw

My build a bot went out on me yesterday, I'm glad there is a community of other players who are just as upset as I am, I have spent hundreds of dollars in the last 4 years. And yes, how stingy are these people. They keep on wanting more money for less rewards. I will also quit as well, unless they let us play older levels for build a bot. I'm also on the 4200's levels and it is almost impossible to play without a double bomb.

Julius

Guys, King won't do what's best for us. King will do what's best for them. They need money that's why they doing everything they can to rip us off. Activision/Blizzard company (they bought and now own King) laid off hundreds of its employees. You guess why.

Please bring back boosters on replayed levels, the game is boring without them. No urge to win anymore!

I am also done playing until king restores the build-a-bot to previously played levels.

@gaston_cenci - It should show up again in 8 hours with a ‘c’. Once you have collected your sugar drops (all 180) and won ur boosters, it resets in 8 hours and you should be able to replay the same levels.

Gastón_Cenci

I don't know if it 's just me, but every time I win a "c" level it disappear. So I have to spend more time just searching levels, don't worth it.

Khaos

Better enjoy the sugar drop challenge on previous levels while you can because the way it's going, King will stop that. I don't play the sugar drop challenge because it will take the fun away for me if I feel I have to play every 8 hours to earn boosters to pass a level. This exact thing was the demise of Mafia Wars.

Maybe if we all start fighting on here and cussing, king will finally have to say something...even if all they say is 'you are all banned' 😂🤣😅 at least make them say something!!!

It cracks me up how many “changes” they have made since this thread started in January or February, and I don’t think it’s coincidental. I can now earn daily “badges” in app for winning a level 😁, there are 6 slots on a plaque that a badge is put on for a “daily win” but I’ve had 3 put on in 1 day and this is less than 24 hours playing time, more like 12...I can also choose a quest-2 choices, 1 of which you must use boosters to win the prize??! I’ve not selected this choice because it seems rather silly to be using booster to win them! And, the arrow, they’ve now added a “down arrow” (or maybe it’s been there, I’ve just never needed to use it, don’t know who would as it takes you DOWN to what level you last completed.) there are 2 BIG features they are missing completely and trying to distract us with all of these other silly little things. The piggy bank ( this still irks me, this changing from 60 down to 30 I don’t remember when sucked!)change, and of course build a bot. I think they do see all these comments but instead of giving in or listening to their players, they just continue to add add add, change change change....distraction from the complaints entirely! Very childish.

Don’t get off the subject here. Don’t try to justify King’s lame decision. Yes, there are some other ways to get boosters which is helpful but the current way this build a bot is implemented with a weekly reset and no credit for passing old levels sucks and needs to be re-thought.

I agree that this change is the worst. I was just trying to let people know there is away to keep playing without spending a dime. The sugar drop challenge resets every 8 hours after it is completed in my iPhone. I play at 6am while I do cardio and then around 6 at night. You will get 13 boosters each time you complete it. Sometimes it’s gold then I buy UFO’s. If I would have known this before I would have never spent any money on Candy Crush. Pictured are the levels I play to complete it.

Make sure everyone votes to change it back. They will eventually if enough of us respond and stop spending money.

Removing this feature was a terrible cash-grabbing idea, and I’m not giving a dime to support it. Please bring back the ability to build bots/helmets on previous levels even if you reduce the frequency with which the bots/helmets are available. I’d be totally ok the way it used to be when helmets were available once a week for a few days so long as I can earn them by replaying levels. Still gives me an incentive to play with and without the boosters.

As it stands now, bots are a thing of the past for anyone over level 3000, as the chances to get theee, let alone max them out are super rare.

Please bring this this back and everyone click the green upvote icon on the idea.

Thank you for this change. I'm now spending more time reading, hanging with my kid and investing my time in things that will actually improve my life. Just think, had you kept the Build-a-Bot feature a viable part of the game instead of cutting it off in an attempt to make me pay money to pass levels in an imaginary game that won't make any difference...I'd have kept it on my phone instead of removing it today.

I appreciate your kindness and thoughtfulness.

You made me a better mom today. Way to go YOU!

I too am having way more fun reading peoples insight, thoughts, frustrations, comments etc. and guess what? Not spending a dime!!! Kids are tucked in bed,lunches are packed, laundries caught up and for the first time in 2 months I can say proundly “ALL THOSE LEVELS will still be there when they change things back to the way they were!” and until then I’m just gonna be a mom!
