No longer able to exit an unstarted board without losing lives - Information and feedback

Dear community,

I'd like to share with you some information in regards to a god old known issue of the game:

as you may be aware, when we access a level, we don't use any move and we exit the level without playing it, we don't lose any life.

This behaviour was not intended since the very beginning and very soon, this issue is going to be fixed.

That means that, once it's fixed, if we access a level to check it out, we don't do anything and we decide to exit the level to go back to the map, we will be losing a life.

Thank you very much for your understanding 🙂

Have a delicious day and let's keep crushing!

Welcome! 👋

YES and this is the last straw! Maybe they will change it back when people stop playing in droves! Way to ruin something that eases my stress by making it more stressful!!!

There’s no way it took 7 years to get around to “fixing” this “glitch”.

Clearly just a ploy to get more money out of people.

brenda1966

Yes it is a terrible greed based “fix”.

I'm new so it doesn't make sense why anyone would need to enter and then exit a level without beginning it. U original players must have switched so many gems that u lost ur mind.

Hi there, @MyBurba! Welcome to the Community!

You are new which is the reason why. Give it some time and you'll figure it out, especially when you reach Levels 3000, 4000 and 5000. Don't be so hasty in judging people! You are not there yet, not even close by a long shot!

brenda1966

This is priceless really, framing this change as a “needed fix”. Why is it needed? How is it harming king in anyway? Some of the upper levels in this game are so difficult there’s no way that you can complete them. So is their goal that people will be stuck on levels for weeks on end? Apparently it is because they think that you will spend money. So my suggestion is stop spending your money on this. As a consumer if you’re not getting what you want or need don’t spend your money.

I’ve been stuck on level 3549 for days, even with the ability to shuffle the board. Now that I can’t make shuffle it I’ll continue to play my five games per day and see if I can get past this level but eventually I will tire of it and stop playing altogether. Is king keeping track of how many people just stop playing because of these ridiculous changes?

MyBurba

!!!!!!!!!1 QUESTION !!!!!!
Would the game have turned out differently for you players if u could have never backed out of a level ever since the beginning? Would anything at all be different about the way your game evolved over time? It seems as if it would be harder to gain levels at the rate

MyBurba

2 hour unlimited lives would come with every booster pack and u could enter and exit as many times as u want. So I spend 4.99 for the small pack I want the same amount. I have no idea what I'm talking about I'm total out of line

dakotahbaby

I’m on level 5889 and have been playing for years. This is pure greed! Im done with all king games. I’ll give my $ to a game that isn’t this greedy and petty.

I hate this so called "fix". So, I, too, shall not be playing until it is "unfixed". Too bad too, I was finally getting the hang of it and see no reason for this unless someone needs some more pocket change. So long-------

MyBurba

Level 1million sounds easier than level 129. I don't think I'm on the same level as u guys haha can I have some boosters for my input pleeeeeease

I have enjoyed playing this game... until now. I am at level 4360 and this will be as far as I get.
This is a deal breaker for me and I will no longer play.
Let me know if you reconsider and restore the function.

Ditte

I have never spent money on this game, and this change isn't changing that. Then I'd rather quit.

MyBurba

Unlimited lives for as long as the boosters last? Seems logical to encourage this as a way to boost booster buying and leave the gold or lives to the folks who don't have any money and can only afford small runs of attempted level passing. It's a blast

pistoff

I agree and i wish more ppl would boycott when they do things like rhis....and yes i was stuck on a level for aveeek i.had lost boosters bought boosters nothing was working if i didnt have the option to reset the board i would have gave up lkng ago...well they can say goodbye to my money as i will NOT be buying anymore boosters

MyBurba

They should allow people unlimited lives if they are making any kind of purchase. Then u would be able to exit and those who don't buy things would be even more inclined to make a purchase. What do u think Elsa? Game developers?

MyBurba

Why do they have lives for the board games? It is ridiculous. People will still buy boosters and gold or whatever why not give the people who purchase things automatically have unlimited lives? I don't purchase so I don't mind waiting

andyjenkins01

Some of the levels can be practically impossible if you don’t have boosters and the candies lie badly so this “feature” was useful to progress. It strikes me as just a ploy to coerce more people to buy gold or boosters rather than implementing a fix for something that has been in the game for years. I only got to level 1925 and have also spent money on boosters when I got stuck for days even with the reset ability on a level but without the ability to reset can see getting much further would take years and lots of dollars so will be deleting CCS tonight and looking for something else. Aside from the decision by King I have to say the way this “fix” has been implemented and rolled out is utter crap. Cheerio!

MyBurba

I understand. Is it like that more for the computer or desktop version? I think I remember something like that with a jewel game

pistoff

Cittycat thanks for the heads up and yes ill try that game cuz im thinking the same thing...

It isn’t really necessary early on as the levels are quite simple but the further you get and as the levels get harder it’s quite often much easier to start a level with boosters and continually exit and restart until you can make a combo such as a double colourbomb, some levels can actually be passed in one move doing this.

Kind of defeats the whole object and spirit of the game but is very tempting when you get stuck on a level for days or weeks at a time!
