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

Change it back or lots will leave Im sure. I cant afford to buy more lives, the only thing I buy is more moves when ive been stuck on one for ages, been playing for a few years so not very happy with the changes.

oldsowl

WTF! Not only is waiting 60 minutes to earn another live is ridiculous but getting rewarded a 15 minute booster after your last life ended is even more stupid (I don't get to use most my boosters). I'm guessing King is attempting to get more $$$ from its players. At level 4296 and I'm out!

kimadennis

Will probably leave Candy Crush unless 1 hour reduced back to 30 min.

trouty

An hour is too long to have to wait..Im off if its not changed back. I think a lot of people will feel the same by the looks of it..big mistake!!

kjovon

I agree!! Also, what happened to getting infinite lives when you complete certain levels? I love this game, but have reconsidered playing because I NEVER HAVE LIVES AND CAN NEVER SEND OR RECEIVE FROM FRIENDS!!! NOT COOL!! Way to go turning something fun into another frustrating gaming app!

smdavola

Same problem here. Is it a strategy to force you to buy lives ?? Not fair because not everyone got "luck”like us. Most people continue to play with 30 minute lives

suelynn54

I have been playing candy crush for some time now....1st strike=can’t send or receive any friends lives, 2nd strike=the boosters we now get are timed, most of them run out by the time you get to play them, 3rd strike candy crush in waiting an hour for a life...and that means you are out !! Please reconsider what you have done...by the looks of the comments you are going to loose a lot of players. Tks

Why is my game now making me wait 60 minutes for a heart on Candy Crush Saga? Help

dandnparis

King knows what they are doing. This “test” provides no benefit to anyone but them and their coffers. What they’re testing is how many people will stick around and continue with their addiction. I’m done. Deleted the app from my phone and removed its permission from my Facebook account. Don’t care if they change it back because it will only be temporary. Good luck y’all (consumers, not greedy King)

Hi, @Velouria86
We would like to welcome you to the king community. Thank you so much for being willing to joining🤗

We understand your problem. It is currently in the Test Group, so you have your opinion here https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/263899/help-us-bring-back-30-minute-lives/p1

sulumor

Would like to add my disappointment to this new feature to the game. Please do not insult our intelligence by telling us it is a test. King has become extremely greedy. Maybe I could have accepted an extra 15 minutes, but doubling the time is quite frustrating and the first time I have decided to quit this game. I have been playing for years and endured many unpopular changes but this one takes the cake or broke the camels back. Bye King!!

Patty_Flowers

If it was meant to get people to pay for them, you will lose all revenue because people will just stop playing! Not a wise decision!

nordowild19

I am also perplexed that I now have to wait an hour between lives! I love playing Candy Crush! But now I'll have to find something else to play!

Mariesel

Please ask them to change it back asap.

rrichiee

Please change it back ASAP thanks

This is a bad idea! It has been 30 minutes since the game began. Are you trying to discourage people from playing? I won't be playing unless this is changed!

Why is it now taking 60 minutes for a new life. I will easily quit this game if it does not change.

As title says really. It now says I have to wait 1 hour to get a new life which is really annoying as they changed the sugar boost rewards to timed rewards that you can't save
Am on level 5519.

caymakkin3

Completely agree!!!!!!!!

caymakkin3

How can I “chill and unwind” if I have to wait an HOUR for a new life??

rachelr

I also have this issue on my android but not on my ipad. Very frustrating as I've been loyal for many years and spent money on this game many times in the past. Power ups get wasted because they'll activate after I've used all my lives. I'm very disappounted.

ScienceGeek2022

Same with me I love this game, but it's not worth it, if I have to wait an hour between lives.

Fred_Ellison

Four years with an unstable game; unfair experimentation with certain players; unfavorable rule changing with no instructions; now application crashing with the Dexter message; no way to win as hammers and switches are rare or unavailable and now an hour for an additional game. Is this to make us buy boosters? Its more likely going to make us quit King instead

liTIFFied

One hour for 1 life is definitely going to cut down playing time. Candy Crush is getting expensive. Forcing loyal players to pay is probably going to force them to play another game. It is nice when outta nowhere I beat a hard level and I get 15 mins of free play, but it’s rare and not consistent.

David_H

As it's a 'test' they'll be seeing how many of us buy lives, to see whether they can monetise such a decision. Don't buy more lives - as most of you say, you're far more likely to simply delete the game. They'll learn that their constant need for greed will backfire and that they should encourage more, happier players as it's a more sustainable business model in the long-run.

omkar000

For me it’s getting one live for one hour. What’s happening?

bertbaxter

I cannot understand why you would test this out ...what benefits are there to making is wait one hour ...I would like to know when you will be sorting this issue or else I might as well delete the app and look for something else to enjoy as this game like this is pointless
