Season Pass

What genius came up with the completely new Season Pass. It is a total joke.

How are players at the top of the tree supposed to collect all 10 levels of this farce. We get 4 Episodes per week.I have now completed 5 Episodes playing the new Season Pass and still have levels 9 & 10 to complete.

With approximately 3 hours left and no levels to play, this is totally unfair to top level players.

Get somebody who knows what they are doing to have a good hard look at this new design.

Welcome! 👋

@Peter_Tornaros I still have the old one. Mine does not look like this.

That's fine if you want to go that way.

I use enough boosters passing the new levels, let alone wasting them on the Star Tournament.

Hello @QueenB Unfortunately, the constant tampering with tried and true games is what has been keeping me away from CCS and the Community.

These experiments invariably lead to disillusionment with the game.

Here is another example of how this change does not work for higher level players.

I have completed all Quests, but still have levels to complete to win the Episode Race.

So, I am left with the choice, save my levels until new Quests are available or continue, wasting valuable levels to win the Episode Race.

I do not intend to waste boosters by playing the Star Tournament, so I chose to continue and win the Episode Race.

In the past, after completing most of the new levels, I would enjoy playing the Season Pass on old levels, whilst progressing on the Chocolate Box. I would then use my reserved new levels to complete the final Chocolate Box.

I would have no complaint with the new Season Pass if it could be played on old levels. The new tasks are a challenge and would be still require playing and beating a number of levels to pass each stage.

For players at the end of the map, this season pass isn't a problem. Star Tournament can be used to progress it and this is how I did the previous week (And how I do this week) to finish it. Because of this, I can play Star Tournament to progress both it and all other events. Previously, I was required to play old levels for the Season Pass which was time consuming due to the fact that I was centralized into Star Tournament (And is the case still, only better).

Things become unprogressable only once all quests for the day are finished (Including the Weekday/Weekly ones) where you have to wait until new daily ones get added.

Hi @Peter_Tornaros, it’s really nice to see you back in the community 🙂

Thank you for taking the time to start this discussion and share your thoughts on the new Season Pass. The points you’re raising about progression at the top of the map and the number of available levels each week are important, especially for players who are at the end of content.

Season Pass is currently being tested, so conversations like this are very helpful. I’m collecting the feedback shared here and passing it on to the team so they can review how the experience is landing across different player groups.

Please keep sharing your experience as the season continues. Real examples like yours help us understand how it’s landing across different player groups.

Thanks for taking the time to speak up 🙏

I had, Christine, but when this garbage appears, I have to voice my disgust.

The new levels and Season Pass were all I was playing now. Looks like from now on, it will only be the new levels. Before, I could play the Season Pass on old levels which was a bit of fun.

Also, when you finish all available quests on Season for this day, you won't be able to progress it any further until the next day. For Weekday and Weekly quests, those don't refresh every day as they're spread out for many days though you can finish them within one day as it was my case last week and will be for this one too.

Ha it's true. I think there's another way to look at this also. Players who've not purchased boosters have contributed monetarily by watching billions of adverts over the decade which is another important source of revenue for King. It would be classist and ableist on a corporate level if not individual level for them not to see the financial contributions of those who don't have the disposable income to buy boosters on a game that's always been advertised as free.

I agree with HM100 here, it's pretty easy to finish the season pass with the Star Tournament.

You can play the Star Tournament in order to advance this Season aka Season Pass and this is how I've reached to the top. For me, I didn't got the Season Pass on Windows but only on Android. Is this feature available on Facebook? If so, then has someone on Windows got this feature or it is Mobile-only?

Nothing weird about King's priorities @myname_wastaken : Surely their priority is to make a profit for the company. They won't get that from players at the end of the map. You all know how to play the game for free.

Hi Peter. Nice to see you here. I thought you'd left!

Yeah, I hate this too.

myname_wastaken

I agree. I feel similarly about the weekly tournies also. I'm "competing" against players (or bots) in levels 100-500 so of course I can't win when I'm only completing an episode or infrequently two episodes per day. We need more boosters and rewards at these levels, not fewer. So much for being loyal players I guess.Weird priorities.
