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!

@Khaos worst is that you can't even get sugar drops or any reward from any challenge because you can't replay old lvls when you are on the top if you want to keep your bot full
Now I'm playing one day in a week and I can't stock up boosters
@pvalla2 - if you have full bot and you don't want to lose it you can't play old lvls according to what @Cezdiamond said

i do not think that is correct, you cannot add boosters by playig old levels. you do ot loose them. although there are different rules for different players. cc periodically resets your build bot even if you are not playing.

@louiseT support must be really busy right now because I haven't heard back from winning the last space race and didn't get the rewards.

@Michiganplayer I’m afraid King will probably not be bringing the old bot back. Unless they see a significant drop in participation and revenue.

Even then, whoever made this decision won't want to admit they made a mistake, so they will try to rationalize it as other factors and refuse to change back. Then 3 - 4 years down the road, someone new will suggest it, and the company will be like "yeah, great idea", and act like it's something brand new. At least this has been my experience with how corporations operate.

It's a simple business principal, never take away a benefit from a customer (especially one that has been given to them for 2 - 3 years) No matter how they spin it, it is punishing their customers who. That is just bad business.

I'm doing my part. I probably spent $100 in the period before they ruined it, now I refuse to spend a penny. And "No" is not an acceptable answer for them here. Look at the stats on this post. This is the strongest message fans have ever sent. How long can they continue to ignore their customers?

I was hoping we would start out the new week with news that they corrected the error in judgment in regards to boosters for previous levels. Instead the King "War on Customers" continues. Just keep ignoring all your players, King.

@louiseT - I hope you get your boosters. I’m getting ready to go for my sixth sticker later today and hope I get all my boosters on all my synced platforms.

@louiseT that’s great news!👍

Yet another day has gone by with King ignoring its customers. In the meantime, I have started playing games on Playstation instead. At least I can rely on it without some 'developer' taking away the best part of the game once I get going. Still waiting on our community rep to march into the developers office and demand change. It is literally the biggest issue fans have with the game. Check the stats on this thread compared to others. There is no point in getting player feedback if they ignore the near unanimous feedback on this issue. We are waiting..

Yeah, I don't think they care that the game is no longer fun for long-term players. They are hoping for the investment cost, that people will think they've put so much money into the game, that they will pay huge amounts more in order to pass next-to-impossible levels. And probably some people will not. Not me, I see the money I've put into this game as entertainment for the moment, no different than buying a movie. If the movie theater stops showing entertaining movies, I'm not going to keep going there. And Candy Crush is no longer entertaining, so I'm not going to spend money on it.

I haven't even tried a new level in a couple of weeks (although the game keeps hopping me back even though I don't want it to. grrrrr) Without playing new levels, I place in the weekly race, dexter, get daily tickets. My buddy no longer plays, so I can't win the buddy (my buddy used to play daily, so we would always get streaks up into the 20's before one of us missed.) So many features of the game not available to me.

So like you, I now have a new game to primarily play, and just sign on to Candy Crush to get the daily bonus. I guess I'm still hoping maybe it will change back, even though I realize at this point it won't.

@louiseT did you ever hear from Cezdiamond about your missing boosters?

Foe several weeks I’ve been playing using the new bot. My experience is playing and losing at the old levels does not impact the growth of the bot. The new bot appears only to be impacted when you win or lose a “new” level OR when King decides to arbitrarily wipe it out. Also, when playing the levels to complete the sugar drop challenge and earn boosters, I don’t have to worry about winning the level since I can keep the boosters earned for that level whether I beat it or not. There is some freedom in not having to worry about retaining the space dash as you play thru the levels to get sugar drops and boosters. I do like the new ‘Sticker’ feature that you can earn by winning a new level each day. I am able to win certain boosters I didn't have access to such as the UFO. But as with everything else in this game there are caveats. It appears you can win only one sticker in a 24 hr period. Since I can play at anytime, it is difficult to monitor the 24 hour period before you can play again for a sticker. It would be very helpful if King would add a timer to the sticker module as they have on all the other challenges.

Since I am playing at the higher levels, I only have the option to play the 30 new levels that come out each Wednesday. I have to save back enough new levels so that I can play one a day for a new sticker. I have friends below my current level that are burning through 69- 70 levels a week. This makes it almost impossible to win the weekly leader board challenge and subsequently more boosters. I’m thinking the only I thing I can do is ‘unfriend’ them on Facebook so they no longer appear as a friend. Dang!! I really liked that cousin too. Oh well, sugars thicker than blood.

@pvalla2 - I feel your pain. I asked for more friends and got them (so I could ask for lives) but quite a few are on lower levels so now I don’t have a chance to win the weekly race since I also only get 30 new levels a week and hold some back so I can win 6 stickers too. Also - I try to make sure I won’t be stuck with a hard level on Monday because that is when King/Activision takes my bot away and I have to build it up again. 😆.

bearwithme

@louiseT ask @Cezdiamond. He restored someone else’s lost boosters. I had something similar happen. I play on several different platforms (phone, tablet not pc). When I got my 6th sticker on one I got the boosters but it refused to give it on the others even though I try to keep them in sync.

Khaos

@louiseT did you contact support? They will award you for the prizes you didn't get.

@pvalla2 I'm just following what @Cezdiamond said in another topic about bot (reseting on monday)
I really hope that they will fix it and you will be right!

[Deleted User]

I am on 4616, progressing extremely slowly now, especially as new levels are released on the Windows 10 app before they are on everything else, so I am rather restricted as to how much I can play. That said, have been trying Fishdom and it is enjoyable if a little bit on the easy side at the lower levels.

Omg... My booster is at maximum efficiency! Wonder if I will lose it before it resets on Monday 🤔😂

If you can't use it on old levels, you shouldn't lose it on old levels. That's not right, King.

The idea of King doing the right thing- That's funny. They have near unanimous outrage over this stupid decision to take away boosters for past levels and even when faced with the clear backlash, refuse to fix it. The clock is ticking, King.

Seriously sorry peeps.

I don’t believe this is a technical issue.
Most likely Bots are going to be fazed out like all the other great boosters in the past. Or you will only be able to acquire them on new levels.....lol

Reading the comments (yay for so many) and seeing King was sold now makes sense for all this new bull crap.
Activision paid 5.9 billion (yes billion), for candy crush. Good move until you start making your players as mad as I am right now. You don’t stay on top Activision with all this consumer hate. It will be the end of you.

Following
Future quote of prof teaching internet gaming marketing 101

“We all remember what led to the bankruptcy of Activision a few short years after they acquired Candy Crush”

Learn from the colossal blunders bankrupted companies made. Especially those who failed to keep their (devoted, addicted, lots of time to play) consumer happy.

Its not our fault you paid too much for an old game Acitvision.
