Have I missed something re the Chocolate Box

The elite chocolate box is back in my game.

I commented previously that I have to wait for days for the next chocolate box

Hi @quekkc I was referring to the original Chocolate Box just pointing out that though annoying a timer for the Box is nothing out of the ordinary.

Lol! And 🤞🤞🤞

I feel I need to whisper this, so I am typing very slowly and quietly. Got my next CB completed it and got a new one straight away without a timer 🤭 Ooh how long will it last.

Let's hope what I had before doesn't come back @teenybee @Alienscar

I commented previously that I have to wait for days for the next chocolate box. Don't remember how many days.

Oh lordy lord that’s all we need, to be deprived of one of the few remaining chances to get some gold and a few boosters. I’m not in that test group yet thank goodness. Hope you don’t get stuck with it for too long @Carol-38. What a PITA.

Hi @Carol-38 I have lost all of my old screenshots now as the tablet I used to play on stopped working, so I can't post any visual reminder of how things used to be unfortunately.

The old Chocolate Box used to have limits of one box a day or something like that and then you had to wait for the next box. Then it was changed and different people received different versions and different wait times. This was back in 2020.

The gold bars are not really earned. Perhaps they were in exchange for party booster or rather converting party booster into gold bars.

May be they are limiting the players who complete chocolate box fast and earn gold ? Didn't nobody1 said completed 5 chocolate box in one episode race. It's because we can play old levels and complete the chocolate box and earn gold(except when we were forced to choose between win unplayed levels, ufo and party popper)

That is what I thought. My first chocolate box was 30 gold bars and 4 days.

No waiting time.

For the next round I got 30 gold bars and 2 days.

And that's it…

I don't remember the Chocolate Box having a timer @Alienscar but that could just be my King damaged brain. Nothing surprises me anymore with what they do, but I'm still hoping I'm in a certain test group and get removed from it quickly. Will have to wait until tomorrow to see what my next box is 👀

Hi @Carol-38 this is just wild speculation on my part, but I do find myself wondering if this change is related to the All Stars.

Christine, Nobody and a few other people were denied entry into the All Stars this year and the only thing these players had in common was the large amount of gold (and possibly boosters) that they had saved prior to the start of the All Stars.

I wonder if the addition of a timer to the Chocolate Box is King's way of experimenting with controlling the overall amount of gold a player can accumulate.

Saying that it wasn't all that long ago that the Box had a timer anyway, so it could just be that King are bringing that aspect back.

Not good news, waited for the timer to run down and got my next Chocolate Box this morning. Back to 30 gold bars, so I thought that's good even though the timed one was 45 gold I'd rather have 30 without a timer. My happy thoughts didn't last long, finished all tasks and what did I get, another timed Chocolate Box.

Are King really that bothered @QueenB that some of us sometimes managed to complete a couple of Boxes a day. Let's face it gold really doesn't last that long any more the way levels are now. I'm really hoping this isn't a permanent feature 🤨

I get that every now and again @Boybinary and it's just as annoying when you've only got one Episode left being as it requires 16 levels.

at least you have an option! I am at the end of the map and got this the star tournament doesn't count for new levels and every option I got was to complete new levels!

First task

Change task

Second and third tasks were easy.

Last task

Should have just accepted it.

For the sake of curiosity, I changed and get 14 win-on-first-try.

Changed again and get 4 Free-Switch

Final change…

I don't have it yet but i think i would hate this even with the 45 gold bar upgrade. I do wish though UFO's already provided in the game counted for the chocolate box but no you have to buy or use one from your stockpile or from ads. I mean a UFO is still a UFO right? you would think all should count as long as it's being fired in game but no we are expected to spend in some way.

Got my new Chocolate Box didn't show Elite, completed it and back to the waiting game, meany, meany old King. Not sure how they class 24 hours as soon. Keeping my 🤞I don't have this for long. Will wait until tomorrow then tag QueenB with a moan if the next one is timed 🫨

It's hurting me @Nobody1 for sure.

I had a personal best of completing 5 gold chocolate boxes during a single episode race in less than 5 hours. So definitely much more than one chocolate box per hour.

I hope I don't get this; it would really hurt to have to wait.
