I worked hard for these rewards, and ooooh I got one of my favourites 🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸
Yes a 🤐 Coconut Wheel 🤭
I've got to be honest @christinewupp I wasn't even thinking about collecting fish. I was just concentrating on trying to pass levels without having to use lots of boosters and gold, but I failed miserably on that.
I've only managed to come first in one DDD and that shocked me, as I wasn't even trying, must just have been my turn to win something 🤣
When I said I worked hard to win in my first post, I really meant most of the levels were hard, well no they were actually mainly Legendary, Nightmare, Super Hard 🙄
This event is too difficult. The best way to play to actually pass levels is to concentrate on combos of special candies, not on creating jelly fish. Jelly fish are dropped by the game itself and the only way to win this event is if the game allows us to create a jelly fish + colour bomb combo, super charger plus jelly fish is best. These combos are always written into the level algorithm by the game and not under player control. I have tried to create them myself but always fail: We get those combos when the game wants us to have them, so who wins this event is 100% controlled by the app except if you are good/fast enough to pass each episode in 15-20 minutes, which is All Stars final round potential, so only the top players can do this and you have to avoid having to replay any levels and watch adverts in order to be fast enough. So it is too hard for most players.
The 30 minute version is far too long to bother with. You would have to play three episodes to win the gold. I did like the 10 minute version though, because you can finish it to win the gold in one episode.
duplicate… stupid Vanilla.
Glad to see the feedback. Also experiencing the ads crashing.
Great job. Congrats!
Totally agree! Really don’t like this event as makes the hard levels even more stressful 😬. Much preferred the collecting stripes challenge as more even in levels than fish which sometimes you don’t get any at all.
Hope this is only a temporary challenge 🤞🤞🤞
Thanks for sharing all of this @Carol-38 and for taking the time to add the screenshots too.
That really does sound like a rough mix of bad luck and frustration: difficult levels, Deep Dive Dash, pop-ups, and then ads crashing the game on top of it. Not exactly the relaxing game moment anyone is hoping for 😫
I can’t promise an instant change, but I will share this feedback with the team, especially the points about the level difficulty and the ads crashing/closing the game.
For the crashing ads, I’d also recommend reporting it through the game if this persists so Player Support can take a closer look.
Thanks again for flagging it 🙏 I know it doesn’t fix the experience you had, but the details and screenshots really do help.
I give up 🤐🤕🤒 stupid Deep Dive Dash. Played another Episode and got the DDD three times. Already finished the Episode before the last one ended, but that wouldn't have made a difference anyway.
It was another Episode with nine levels classed as Nightmare, Legendary, Super Hard, Hard. But even the ones without those labels couldn't all be passed in the moves given. Took me so long to keep replaying the 🤬 levels with pop up after pop up
And the adverts that I got kept crashing and closing my game. So boosters and lives I used lost, snatched away, never to be seen again. This is all meant to be fun and relieve stress 😂 🤣 😂 🤣.
This is a typical kind of level I kept getting
It's starting to cost me a lot of money. No I don’t mean I pay to play the game, and I certainly wouldn't the way it is. I'm talking about the swear box my husband has got out and shakes under my nose while I'm playing. Every time I play over and over to get a lot of extra moves, which then requires gold bars, I get the pop up saying 'Good Luck'. Aaaaah, I shout back something similar, but it isn't Luck. Ching Ching, more money dropped in the box 🤐
Come on @QueenB there must be somebody available in the Levels Studio who can check what we are given to play. And others who can check the annoying crashing adverts 🥴
Same
@Carol-38 I just got this in my game today.
I had 30-minute event. Because I had just activated super charger, I played 3 rounds in 24 hours and received 25, 35 and 45 gold bars. The super charger + fish made the event very easy, without it would have been more difficult. In fact, I don't think I would have played that much.
I have the 30 minute version, which neatly requires players to play one episode. So we can try to work out if the task is achievable for the average player using this event. Since carrying out my extensive All Stars research I am now pretty sure that the app calculates task scores ( the scores our opponents achieve and which we need to beat in order to win the prize) according to how many episodes a player passes in a given time interval: For the lower prizes it's one episode per hour, for the best prizes it's one episode per half hour. So this event is a nice way to calculate how many fish can be produced in each episode.
This event is uneven because the fish yield per level varies hugely. I am not sure this event is suitable for all level ranges. Yesterday I had the 30 minute version in a new player game. However I found that levels between 100-200 simply do not produce enough fish to win the gold prize. This is something King need to look into: The event is not suited for new players. It should not be introduced to players pre level 200, as in this level range each episode only produces about 70-80 jelly fish. This may very well also be the case at other level ranges as well and leads to frustration: I quit in anger and deleted the app without saving!
The new fish based algorithms favour this event whereas the older ofl algorithms are not so well suited. To clarify: Fish based algorithms generally drop lots of jelly fish and create a lucky board by giving us fish + CB or fish + wrap combos, ofl (standing for "old fashioned lucky board") algorithms generally rely on special candies and combos of special candies to produce a pass. Fish based algorithms leave players one jelly short quite often. Ofl boards can still produce some nice cascades, so I find these more satisfying. So this event isn't my favourite because I prefer ofl to fish (No, not in real life! In fact I'm a pescatarian….). I miss Factory Frenzy, which was more fun as it relied on striped candies and ofl boards.
The best way to score well in this event is to create a super charger + fish combo. This does count all the fishes produced.
What the app apparently does not count though is the jelly fish that flood the board in the end sequence after we skip:
Those fish don't count. To explain: If we end a level with lots of moves spare the remaining moves will either turn into striped candies or jelly fish depending on whether it's a jelly level. In striped candy based events I have found that the striped candies that turn up in this skip sequence do get counted towards the total. So finishing a level early helps for example fill the striped candy count for the chocolate box and did count in Factory Frenzy as well. So what this means for Deep Dive Dash is this: It's not in your favour to end a level prematurely, such as with a double super charger combo. In easy levels, those that you know you will pass no matter what moves you make, you should try to keep creating jelly fish, especially if there are fish dispensers on the board, and try to create a colour bomb + fish combo to score the highest. On harder boards beware: Jelly fish often leave players one move or jelly short.
This was my finish after one episode in the mid 800s:
The task score of 175 is similar to what the new player at level 145 had to achieve for the same event. The prize was 35 gold bars.
The next round is offering even more gold:
Mine is only lasting for 10 mins. If I play the three stages without losing (On the third ones one time I went fifth due to fewer fishes being created and having harder recordings), it will result in 30min gameplay.
My next one @michimune is for 20 minutes ⬇️
I don't think the rewards that are showing are what I'd win if I came first in the Blueberry Depths, I think they are for the Grand Prize. So I'd have to win the next one to play for the Grand Prize. Still got over 3 days left, so I might get a chance to play it 🤞
🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸
A good and interesting post👍
Which version do you have?
Between 15 minutes and 30 minutes?
