Discrimination of good players

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/3349037#Comment_3349037

Yes, I've noticed that there are some amazing and interesting things one can do with this event if you get your timing right. I haven't played the new levels yet and haven't been in the star tournament for a few weeks, so I couldn't tell you if it works, but I'm confident if it works for you it would work for us all. It's an improvement.

Interesting clock on the next one - so no rush 😄

Factory Frenzy works for me on the Star Tournament again this week. Is it working for you, @christinewupp?

As a so called good player, how do you pass these levels which candy make unpassable—-which they have done and are only passable with bars or tons of boosters or you have to wait a week or so before the level lets you pass. I am intrigued to know.As games like this are trying to force people to pay, example legendary level followed by another,none can be passed unless by endless supply of bars ,boosters or spending, and as game relies on luck,chance it borders on illegal, so i play with no boosters and these levels are unpassable and ridiculous in the 17,000s with the goes allowed, you are not mean to pass , and choc box is never complete, always finish last in race, there is no way of get any bars, so basically almost every level without boosters is wait wait wait, so how do you do them??

I completed my Chocolate Box needing 23 new levels @teenybee just in time. The next one required one Party Booster, managed that as most of the new levels require a Party Booster and luckily I do have a few. I agree an exit button would be an excellent option put on the Chocolate Box rather than waiting for it to time out. I'm sure it's something King could do easily, has it ever been suggested before @QueenB

It's a business @lola89 . King are in it to make money. I'm not sure they are working on a solution that suits players. They are always only working on methods to increase their profits. I don't work for them, heaven forbid, so all I can do is share the tactics I use or that I would recommend to players.

Hi guys @PummyRaj has already raised this issue for you 💓

I agree. I contacted them regarding this issue too. If they can’t add new levels quick enough then they should mix it up and include some older levels. I have lost timed bonuses, etc, because there were no new levels to play

I am no longer commenting here because my comments go for approval for no good reason at all. @QueenB please could you look into this if you want me to continue to be a member here. It happens all the time now, so there must be fault in the system. It is very off putting to see one's reply disappear and only show up with a 24 hours delay. If that is the new system here then I'm out.

Hello everyone,

What annoys me so much,
is that the support team, which I consider to be highly incompetent by the way, is simply a team of people who bother me with stupid repeated requests. Even though something has already been explained so many times.
And guys, over a year ago I was told it would be forwarded!!!!
What are they doing? support
Probably all busy continuing to fake the events!

And @christinewupp

All these tactics, yes you can do them, but I'm annoyed because it can't be a solution!

This is a change for the good @teenybee . Thanks for reporting this. Last time I tried it did not count them, but I always thought it should.

Funny that you and @lola89 both mentioned Factory Frenzy, @christinewupp. Today I pressed Play on it since I was playing the Star Tournament anyway and had nothing to lose. After 20 mins I realised it was counting the stripes I made, even on levels I hadn’t passed (which was most of them). I never remember that happening before. I wish I’d taken a screenshot of my map and FF board - I’ll do that next week if it’s still happening.

I agree, @Carol-38. It’s so irritating when haven’t new levels to play and you get stuck with Pass X new levels or Pass Y levels first time (those two are too similar anyway - why would anyone choose the second one?) as the final task, or sometimes as the only options you’re given. Numerous times I’ve ended up having to wait nearly the full 4 days for it to time out. There should be a Quit button on that last task so we can choose to start again on the Classic box instead of the looooong wait.

Yes, at the top of the map you can even win the weekly podium prize using your strategy, and then carefully getting 3rd place the next 3 weeks (well, you can do better the last week if you want to). I'm sad, I accidentally won the weekly last week as my second podium and now I'm doomed to failure this week. Essentially already out of contention for third.

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/501394/discrimination-of-good-players

You are correct. King don't care about players at the top of the map. Events like Factory Frenzy cannot be played using the star tournament, the chocolate box, well, if I use the boosters option I manage to get by, friends challenge is a no go as it doesn't work, we never see Candy Royale either. Regardless of the fact that ALL players get only newbie opponents in the weekly race and that the strength of these newbies is determined by King somehow, I do find that my top of the map game always gets opponents who passed more than my 60 new levels available, so we can only get on the podium of this event with the following strategy: Play 120 new levels one week, then the following week you get strong opponents. Play no new levels at all that following week, then you will get easy opponents the next week and you will have 120 levels available to play. This stop/start method has worked for me and it highlights how that event is fixed by King despite giving the appearance that the opponents are real players.

We don't spend enough money on the game so King do not care if we continue to play or if we quit, it's just the sad truth.

Mine was the exact reply I've posted a million times before and never had a problem with.
If King wants this community to die out and have their moderators/AI reply with their typical BS and really unhelpful answers, ok.🤷

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/3345635#Comment_3345635

I don't think it's anything other than just another blip with the system @christinewupp let's face it we've seen enough of them over the years. But it is frustrating when actually having the time and trying to reply to someone not to have your post instantly showing 🙄

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/3345632#Comment_3345632

That does suggest to me that whatever overseer AI is sending responses for approval is set to monitor any responses from non moderators. This is either an AI system gone wrong or it is censorship or it is, as I suggested above, a signal that only AI and moderators are welcome to answer newbies here. They are clearly allowing to discuss amongst ourselves here…

Me 🙋‍♀️. I replied to a post mine was sent to approval. 😔 Mine was a reply to does this game pay. I said no. Still went for approval. 🤔 . (Just check now Game expert tetem replied to that post without any need for approval. )

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/3345595#Comment_3345595

I've just had another one go for approval!

I am definitely thinking there is something fishy going on now. I definitely did not use any forbidden words and was genuinely trying to be helpful. If this is all part of the new automation in moderation here then as a real person I do not feel very welcome in this community now. Maybe they want us to let all the AIs take over, especially when responding to and welcoming newbies.

Find with me . I can think of better things to do.
