Allstar tournament is full of cheaters! It's a sham

I made it to the 2nd round final knockout only to be destroyed by people that were/ are achieving scores at a unrealistic pace. They are either cheating/ hacking or spending thousands on in game boosters! This is unacceptable and needs to be addressed! I'd also like a refund for the boosters I purchased during the contest due to the false advertisement of fair play in this contest. This is ridiculous and frivolous on Kings part. I will also be inquiring about legal ramifications pertaining to this scenario. I am hoping someone will contact me in regards to this matter. I'd says thank you, but I feel like I've been swindled and just by looking online, I'm clearly not alone in the matter.

Welcome! 👋

Correct. That's what past winners did to try to maintain their lead (especially with thousands of dollars in remaining prize winnings), except Ben was knocked out by Hayden near the end.

I agree.
spent a couple of hundred dollars and had all the boosters I needed.
I played round 2 for 6 hours straight achieving better than 1 level per minute.
After 6 hours I was in the middle of a bunch of players with similar wins.
It was a fun challenge until I noticed 2 players that doubled all of our points.

around 8 hours they still had double of the rest of us, then the game crashed on me and I lost my boosters so I quit.

at the end of the level 2, the two top players had over 8 million while the rest of the pack had 4 million.

I would like a refund on all the money I spent (not to mention all the time leading up to this level, fighting with the wife etc…)

don't spend anymore money, I have learn my lesson and stop!

Yes, you can continue playing, but with not the same opportunities to pass the level and make purple stars.

I was making good on 2/3 finals.

Everybody else's cards were current or at least changing and being updated. What got my attention was although the level was not changing ethe levels played did change. That's why I thought it was a new export. Where you're able to keep doing the same level over and over and still get 30x. Don't know. Just a thought.

I empathise with you. I was 8mil points and still lost. Anytime I thought id catch up when they'd sleep, they were always active. When I slept their points zoomed up too so I do question if they were able to sleep at all..

Though not much can do. King have anti cheat measures and algorithms to detect these things. I was advised by them they take it seriously and investigate though I do not believe it will change anything or result in 2nd place being allowed to 3rd final knockout. They'll just disqualify the player and then learn for next year.

6mil isnt that much over entire period. I got 8 million doing 16-17 hour days non stop playing.

I still didn't win my round with 8mil either. I'd have loved to been your group!

olgameyer

Many of us thought we had to pass levels to earn purple candies in the All Stars tournament… but apparently, you don’t. You can just replay the same level over and over and still rack up points.

I am so pissed off about this. I racked up 5.6 m points by playing fair and passing levels and only spent $40 over the 4 days only to drop to 2nd place by someone who played non-stop, got point by not passing levels

That sounds indeed very convincing. Sadly it also sounds horribly unhealthy.

-Short answer is you can calculate by how much their score changes when you sleep, and constantly checking the leader board when you don't- I made it to the second final round, as did a friend of mine, though in a different group. Coincidentally, both top 'players' in both groups were 2024 accounts, so I'm assuming they discovered more than one cheating method last year. The one in my group was shamelessly playing non stop and in 2 min would make more than 5 times the score 2nd place made (didn't they say there was a cap?). Now, how did I know it was non-stop? I was off work so I played during the day (9AM-12AM) with maximum 10-15 min breaks and when I was out I was constantly checking on the leader board (you can see when a player is out and for how long they've been out in minutes or hours). This top player was there non-stop with the score increasing as well, no 5 min break, no nothing. First night I went to sleep for a few hours and in the morning there was almost a 1.5 mill difference between this cheating player and 2nd place and the player was still playing after obviously having played all day and all night. Second day I changed my sleeping schedule, sleeping 2 hours during the day and setting my alarm after 3 hours of sleep at night. Surprise, surprise, at no point during the day did this account take a break, and when I woke up during the night they were still active and judging by the score they didn't sleep while I did either. By comparison, you could see all other accounts take a few hour breaks for sleep and 30-45 min breaks randomly throughout the day. After 48 hours of them playing non stop I was convinced of that account having multiple players but I couldn't take back the boosters I paid for so oh, well, joke's on me. I stopped playing but still checked the leader board, and unfortunately, unless King disqualified the cheater, 2nd place who played fairly lost.

Same thing went on in my friend's group. He was actually 2nd place, and while his top player didn't have unexplainable boosts in score, after the first night when they both took a break during the night and resumed in the morning , the 1st place started playing non-stop as well, obviously having someone else play while they took breaks because my friend was just as good and was really close to the 1st score. So now, you tell me how is it fair to have multiple people play on the same device, as well as not disqualify them during the round when you can obviously see they score an impossible amount after you promised your players you would put a cap to stop this from happening? Even players who bought boosters like myself couldn't achieve what they could score per minute, so all I can say is I am terribly sorry for all players who won 2nd place fairly, sacrificing their weekends, their sleep, money and time all for some cheaters to move to the next round.

There are different strategies to score purple and the amount gained per level can vary significantly!

It's not the case that so many purple candies are awarded per level.

For example if we strike a double colour bomb, especially with the super colour bomb enabled, that will affect the number of purple scored for that level significantly! In fact with the super colour bomb we score a lot less per level, though we can then zoom through the levels more quickly which given the right strategy can make up for the lower score per level.

It is not a good idea comparing ourselves to our opponents, especially by using the players cards to do this. The best way to succeed in All Stars is to know our own strengths and what we are capable of scoring and then play our own best strategy and ignore the other players except for keeping an eye on the leaderboard scores.

If you lost boosters due to the game crashing and if those boosters had been paid for with money I would recommend you contact player support. This is best done via the app: Use settings (the small pink cogwheel at the top of the map screen) then choose the ? icon and scroll through the options until you see "contact us" at the bottom. Good luck! They might give you some compensation at least.

Hello @Braveheart2665 I do wonder how would you know if another player was playing with no breaks? We only have that information whilst we are playing ourselves, so were you yourself playing with no breaks?

Thank you for your effort posting this. Unfortunately the player cards are of no use in trying to prove anything. You need to post the actual leaderboard data. Player cards are NOT updated live! They are essentially meaningless in All Stars.

This guy cheated the whole time. I spent an entire 24 hours to surpass him only to have him come and surpass me by double in less than and hour. There is literally no way he didn't cheat. How do I know? Because my opponent behind me spent a solid 12 hours while I was sleeping after a long flight playing and still not reaching my score. All the others behind me fought hard but the first guy even in the first few minutes of the game was racking up points like nothing I have seen before. Sounds like people are lawyering up.....I'll be on the lookout!

***I cannot log in with my original account for some reason. But I’m on level 9897.

Riddle me that - screenshot from today before I was awarded 2nd best in my group.
She ended around 4,190,000 and I ended with 3,760,000 - how did this player win 430,000 more purple candies than I and I won 13 more levels than her?

This game needs to revamped - it should be candies awarded on “NEW” levels won - not repeat levels.

I spent some hefty $$ on this - thinking I was scammed. Sign up on the class action lawsuit peeps.
