Why an hour wait for each game, used to be 30 minutes

Why an hour wait for each new game? Used to be 30 minutes for each game

Tonight my game went to 60 min. for a new life. Why?

I'm on the verge of uninstalling CC from my device since it's not worth taking up the memory if I don't get to play as much with the new wait time between lives.

atara

If this test goes on I'm out. 1 hour wait for new life is ridiculous. There are plenty of other games that will offer more play time and less or wait time. Love this game and have been playing for years but no longer will play under these new circumstances.
Please reconsider

This. Is. Ridiculous. I mean I'm all for Capitalism but this is pure greed. Hmm...do I want food for my kids or to play CC??? This is nothing but a money making maneuver to get u to spend $ for more lives. Hence the 1 hr. time until new lives. CRAZY. CC, you will lose many on this, including me who has spent HUNDREDS of dollars on this game, until you change back to make it play-able for the masses.

tdevries

why has this just started happening and is the permanent! It is really frustrating.

Hello everyone

Most likely, it is now being offered through the Test Group. We have no information at this time.
Hopefully tomorrow I can give you the correct information.
Also let us know if you see any new problems. Thanks .

So no update yet?

Ssand

Agree. This is horrible as I also depend on this and other games for stress relief . I'm not waiting 1 hr. between games, I can't. So I'm on the search for other games...,
wondering what caused them to even consider this in the first place...stupid idea

This so called “new feature” is💩. Fair play, wonder how many players have deleted the game,, not good,,at all,, please give this feedback to your team,,.

bshoward

Yes, it’s no fun anymore! Fix it or I’m gone! You will go from being a top rated game to a “Remember when” game!!!!

smitwaa

Same problem for me. One life every hour!!! Just a way of getting us to spend more on gold bars.

Jan_Bevins

if this is really happening, I'm moving down the road. crappy game now

thought mine was fixed this morning but this PM is seems to have gone back to and hour wait and no lives from friends again. game not worth it with these hard levels if you play for two min and have to wait an hour to play again.

1 hour to regenerate a life is super annoying. Please fix!

AHAHAHA! First King breaks the ability to send/receive lives on King.com and the Win10 app (don't tell me otherwise. I know they purposely disabled something in the feature and have no intention of fixing it). Now they make it so players must wait forever for new lives. So transparent their motives.

Well King, I've never paid for lives, and no way I'm starting now. Good luck enraging all your long-time players.

Allie4712

I’m stopping playing until this is fixed. 5 hours for 5 lives is ridiculous 🤬

If this is an actual test for possible new features, I, like many others, am done. I can give it some time for developers to figure it out but as if this morning the problem still exists.

emre93

What happen why i need wait 1 H ? Give back my boosters!!

Sunve

I’ve been always playing this game since it came out and this lives refill change is the worst thing ever happened to it 😤 please give also this feedback to the team!

AliB165

I work on a website where we run a lot of MVT tests and can usually spot them pretty quickly on Candy Crush. Generally they seem logical and well thought out. This one however, I can see no point to at all - all you are doing is irritating long term players!! Test this on new players sure, I can see no issue there (although I think you’d pretty quickly see a high drop out rate), but don’t annoy your long standing customers!! If I was in charge of this I’d drop this test pretty quickly.

cjalban

I am in the same situation with waiting an hour for a life. You are missing out on LOADS of REVENUE because we cannot play as often. I don't think your executives would not be pleased knowing that everything has slowed down by more than half. Cha Ching!
