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 just created an account just to support this very rightful outrage.

Don't make this King (and Activision Blizzard)
Please stop taking away what you have given to your players.
It's not a clever move, you'll lose players and money.

Instead, if it was not intended but players adapted to your game mechanics over that, you build over that behaviour, hence you support your players' incentive to play your game more. Simple logic ^^

So, what you should have done was, to give more reason to keep playing lower levels again and again.
For example, right from top of my head:
- Make playing the lower levels easier by adding an interface to enter a level number you desire to play.
- Make an extra challenge for completing a random lower level etc. etc.

Long story short, if you do the right thing, you keep your players happy and earn more money in the long run too.
Win-Win ^^

This is just beyond HORRIBLE on what you did there King all your loyal long time paying players are leaving thanks to this crazy update with the BOT. Not playing until you bring it back! #kingsucks #horribleupdate #imonstrike #soshouldallofyou

@bearwithme Thank you for your reply. I agree I am in the minority, that's why I labeled it an unpopular opinion. I just wanted to see if their were any like-minded players that might want to discuss the pros of the change. I wasn't planning on voting on the proposal, nor will I campaign King to keep the robot booster the way it is. I am happy with the game in either format. Peace.

lawgirl

Please bring back the bot boosters soon! Not only did you make this change , but all my accumulated boosters I had yesterday have totally disappeared! I give up in frustration. No way to get boosters now to help with the upper levels. Please listen to the views of your most loyal players! No fun at all now. I won 149 levels last week but not this week. I’ve given up. Why make changes to a game that so many players enjoyed as it was? Very disappointed.

imagwai

Looks like I'm out as well. I can't afford the time to each week to clear 30 impossible levels without the ability to build up some boosters to start with. It takes too long to play each week as it is. And whoever ever said this game is a way to unwind is surely joking - the game creates addiction and stress. This might be the last straw that leads me to quit, though, so maybe they've done us all a favour?

bearwithme

@piglet301 - More power to u (I mean that sincerely). You are obviously an excellent player of the game however I think you will find u are in the minority as far as the booster bot is concerned. I absolutely hated the timed levels and definitely want the old version of the booster bot/space dash back and as you can see from the many comments - a lot of people want the old way back so you don’t have to vote for the proposal.

piglet301

Unpopular opinion, but I like the change to the robot booster. I like that a failed new level only drops the booster down one level instead of erasing it completely. I also really like that replaying old levels does not affect the booster negatively. Now when playing old levels for candy drops or just for fun, I can lose many times and still have the booster at the top level. I admit I used the cheat shamelessly to get the booster easily and power through new levels. But I always knew that was not the intent when King created the booster and expected it to be corrected eventually. King gives away free boosters daily, keeps the game free of outside advertising and never requires payment to play. I am at level 4489 and have never spent a dime on the game, it is possible. I do wish they would bring back Dreamworld, timed levels and the World game.

has everyone seen how and where to vote?

Would love to see you bring back playing previous levels to earn boosters. I also go back to level 1 to send rewards to my friends that aren't as high as me.. I agree without this I am losing interest..PLEASE BRING BACK..Ty

Since I am not going to win the weekly race, I thought I would come here and try for a badge! For those in candy crush groups, make a post to encourage players to come and vote if their unhappy with the change. Have a great day!

JLJB

This new build-a-bot is literally a game changer for me. I will play no more new levels but continue to collect the sugar drop boosters in the event King decides this was a bad move on its part. We used to get 60 gold bars and now we get 30 for the same price -- and now this!

Pete_Lashmar

I'd just like to add my voice in wanting the build a bot to be available for previous levels.

I'm currently on level 4509 and these higher levels need lots of boosters.

Creative_Elsa

Hi @Carol_Martins, yes the studio is listening and hopefully we will see a change soon. The Community Manager visits these ideas constantly and reports them to the studio. I also wrote her last week asking what was happening. What might happen is that you will find out via the game if and when the change comes. I don't get notification that they made a change so I rely on the players here in the community to give us word that there has been a change. Chickenslayer is a King Superstar like me. You will find her most often in the Harm Heroes community. Believe me I am trying to push and find out what's going on. I'll ask the Community Manager today if she heard anything new. Thank you for being very patient.

cazmartini

@Elsa Is anybody listening to what we are saying. With all these comments and views you would think that someone from @King would have responded. Is @chickenslayer a community manager. I seem to remember getting help from him at some point. Somebody from King needs to respond. Communication goes a long way!!!!!

Agreed, this needs reversing. To take away something that we have been using to get through a level is to take away the game. I like a challenge but the only way I will get through 4465 is with build a bot or similar, or a lot of luck. If I can't get through it within a week I shall be finding another game, and will be avoiding King games.

Lauralyn

I totally agree that they need to revert back to allow players to win booster bots for playing previous levels. I’ve been playing CC Saga for over 5 years and have always enjoyed the challenges but now it is very difficult to advance on the more difficult levels. I’m in the 3300’s and totally frustrated particularly watching my friends pass me who are on easier levels so can’t even advance on a leader board. I’m truly considering deleting the game since it is no longer fun...just really frustrating. Such a shame as it was a great way to unwind but still use your brain.

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

This old Fart bows down to your intelligence, I have been trying for weeks through another thread and kept getting "Java Errors" - Voted !!!

I used to spend money from time to time combined with building up boosters via the build a bot and other offerings. But now I cannot use build a bot, the wallet remains closed. I'll find other games to play and spend my entertainment dollars on. Thanks.
