Well, I guess King Games is happy to “fix” this issue, but I’m not. Even with this extra capability I have been spending altogether too much money on this game. Looks like you’ll be losing somewhere around $300/month from me. You’ve cured my addiction.

Once again the king company is lying to its players. Oh well....no more candy crush for me...

Dear Community,

Of course we have to fix this! It allows players a slight advantage in dealing with the random element in some levels. We would rather this be accomplished through purchases of gold or boosters.

And that says it all right there doesn't it?! Not sure who will be left playing to help you out with those extra purchases you're hoping to achieve.... If revenue is down for this product this isn't likely to be a profitable solution to the problem. That said, if you're looking to wind the product down and divert your resources to your other newer products I think you've hit the mark!

So, maybe now you will decide to stop modifying levels by reducing the number of moves making it very difficult for us to pass and waste all of our boosters. This “fix” is total outrage because the reset was only real chance for us to get close to level 6000 by getting a lucky board to beat these ridiculously hard levels. I am currently at level 5232 and you know what I think it is finally time to stop playing this game. Shame! Shame! 😡😔

You will not "back down" from your stand against letting players that have spent countless hours playing have ONE advantage over the game.
WHERE ARE MY BOOSTER VIDEOS??? I doubt that your ad sponsors are thrilled with paying for ad space to a select few rather than the entire captive audience. I am over level 2400 and its IMPOSSIBLE to play without boosters. I am on a fixed income and cannot afford to pay up play a FREE game.
So thanks for sucking ALL of the fun out of the only game I ever played online. Thanks for being SO GREEDY that you can't let players have the "pleasure" of watching the same video ad over and over and over, because YOU want them to buy YOUR product. Is that part is the contract you have with your advertisers? Is there a "bare minimum" number of players that you have to push the videos onto? Are you pushing NO BOOSTER updates to the players at higher levels in the hopes that they'll cave and buy your boosters?

I call for a BAN ON BOOSTER PURCHASES! Is it really worth spending your money on a VIDEO GAME that's FREE??? I'm quite sure that the number of players that don't have the money to pay to play are not causing any of the King developers to go hungry!!

If they don't fix the issue with exiting the game I will no longer be playing this game cause i'll be stuck on one level for way to long. So fix this issue or I'm out .

Lol I’m stuck on a level that has exactly 9 candies to start and the rest is marmalade, licorice, chocolate, meringue a whole line of popcorn blockers. And twice now have gotten a coconut wheel under the marmalade. Gtfo king

It was definitely a “fix”, it just wasn’t a fix for a glitch, instead a fix to increase profits. ruined it for me!!

Over the past month I spent a few hundred dollars on coins, well no more. I truly enjoyed the game, and accepted the incremental changes that gradually eroded the quality and value in the name of profits, though this was the final straw. If anyone has suggestions on other games I can play to replace this please let me know.

From the many reviews, it appears many other invested users will be doing the same. I’m sure King considered this and determined ultimately the return on investment (ROI) for the change was worth it, let’s see if their right! My suspicion is they will be loosing more revenue then they expected, and I for one will not come back even if they revert the change, simply because of the way they presented it, calling it a fix when it was obviously a way to generate even more revenue (users will need to buy more coins to get more lives and boosts as they no longer can reset boards, created at “random”, lol). Sounds like the softening profits will continue to decline, and the “fix” intended to improve the falling profits will actually make it worse. Whoever came up with this “fix” should start polishing up their resume, in time the Executives are going to see this was a terrible idea.

Farewell, best wishes to any remaining sheep, lamb is tasty. 😊

To funny, I did the same exact thing. Over the past month I spent a few hundred dollars on coins, well no more. I was already quitting the game to find another that is not as divisive when I found this forum, if anyone has suggestions please let me know.

King - You need to allow a player to restart or a bunch of us will quit the game. Why would you make the game harder?

Simple. To make more money for them. We'd lose our boosters and lives quicker.

I have never posted here or on the helpblogspot but since I'm going to be quitting the game I decided to give my 2 cents. I have been playing for probably 4 years and am in the 4800s in terms of levels. I have seen lots of complaints on the blogspot but in general have always found a way to get the game to have some strategy vs just luck. At first it was in the games themselves, then as levels became ridiculously difficult, it became a strategy of which boosters to use, then sugar drops were changed and the bots added and it became a strategy of resetting the game to start with the combo I thought would best help me win. If all else failed I'd go to the blogspot and the servers behind the scenes would communicate "hey we made some $ off her with the ads" and I'd magically pass within the next time or two. I haven't spent any $ on boosters but have used blogspot a ton so the ads I've been served have made King plenty of $ via that mechanism. Now as the revenue model has increasingly become unsustainable (which any corporate idiot should have figured from the start would happen with the model they chose) they've taken away reset and basically we are left with a game of slots. Some people like slots - paying $ to play same thing over and over and over and over...not me sooooo boring. And of course with slots there's the ability to win cash - not with this game.$. So with quite a bit of regret I will stop playing because, well, it's soooo boring.

LMAO at the fools who implemented this "fix". Enjoy all the well-deserved hate, you inept dopes.

I’m not making another purchase unless they fix these issues

This “fix” doesn’t even make sense. Anyone ever accidentally click on a booster you don’t really intend to use as you enter a level, and go “ooops...I didn’t want to use that”?

So you exit the level, unselect it, & go back in.

Not anymore apparently!! Now the choices are to play & waste the booster OR lose the booster AND a life??

Ridiculous!!!

Hey king thanks for burying my coconut wheel under a blocker on an extremely hard level. We should be able to drop our boosters where we want them if we can’t reset the game.
