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

It is that time of night when I wake up and my brain goes into overdrive. I haven't yet learned how to deal with my husband no longer being here to hold me when I can't sleep. I go and quickly lose my five lives and collect my times boosted when I have no lives left to play. I will not give King another dime. I will continue to read this forum and wonder what other people are doing to be awake in the middle of the night. For me it is the loss of my husband and no one awake to talk to.

I thank you all for your insight into what was forced on us by Candy Crush Saga minions. I am not sure if we are making a difference or falling on deaf ears but it feels good to say something. I will continue to check here when I can't sleep and the emptiness in my life becomes unbearable.

You are a wonderful community of players that are willing to stand up what they feel is right. It is wonderful to find that in our world today when there is so much negativity.

I wish you all good night.

I'm very sorry for your loss. People say it gets easier, but it doesn't. Yesterday was my 35th anniversary, I've spent that day alone for over 13 years now. You can always message me directly. It's easier to talk to frangers about some things.
I am not awake because I choose to be, either. Two, maybe three hours of sleep and that's all I can get. I don't know exactly why this is happening to me, but it's been a rough year. Make that decade...my husband died in 2009 and just about everything has sucked ever since. My son and I are looking forward to a new decade; grateful that his Dad wrapped him in airbags and saved his life back in April. No one should have been able to crawl out of that wreckage, but my boy did...and I know it was because his father knew my heart would stop if I lost my only child, too.

I'm somehow surviving the daytime fatigue, though. I just put banana bread in the oven and with the the time I have till the rest of the world wakes up I'll read. I should be doing schoolwork. I've gotten used to being awake, it was fun killing time with this stupid game. Not anymore, though.

I've already used my 5 lives and must wait for new ones. I had over 80 saved and didn't use them often, but my access to boosters has been cut drastically with the reset going away along with the ad videos. I get one booster wheel spin per day, on one of my devices.

Helpful hint to hit the jackpot on the wheel... Let it spin for a few turns to get it moving, sometimes it has a hitch. Then watch it as the check mark candy goes by. That space on the wheel is the one you want to be going by when you hit the stop button. It's not easy, but I've done it three times and I've not been playing for 6 years, maybe 6 months. You want to touch the stop button when the wheel ticker is about to leave the checkmark candy wedge. This is only on the booster wheel. To get 15 spins you need to do about the same thing, two wedges on the wheel before the one you want to get. It works, I swear it! I got good at it until they took the ads away. I got 15 extra moves a lot of the time.

So, a few weeks down the line since the ‘fix’ and I’m bored stupid after being stuck on the same level all week. Have emailed King to give feedback about how awful the fix is.

I feel bad for the newcomers into this game because they may get through the first 100 levels then get stuck. They will probably feel like they must buy boosters and gold bars to pass. Hopefully, they quickly realize that it no longer works in this game since the “fix.”

@Dirty_Nurse; I understand it is your personal opinion about how you feel when people spend money on virtual goods in a free game. But to say that you look down on them because of that seems quite disrespectful.

Who cares if they do??? That is their choice and have every right to do so. I know that since the “fix” I have not spent any more money on this game because honestly this game is just pure luck now. But I would occasionally spend money on this game before. It helped me keep moving up 100 levels a week with one day hopefully making it to level 6000. Now, I realized that will not happen due to the “fix.”

We all have things that makes us happy in life and for me playing CCS was one of those things, but the greed of King finally decided to crush all that so it’s time to move on to another game. I hope King comes to their senses but for me even if they do they have already taken the fun out of this game.

Happy holidays, everyone! 👍

@Dirty_Nurse DuckTales (90s version), TaleSpin, & Darkwing Duck.. miss those days!

I do too! Great shows, all of them.

As for this thread though, I feel as if my analogy is completely correct. If you didn’t see my comment from the other night, I again recommend watching the South Park episode “Freemium isn’t Free”. It’s hilarious especially in light of our current situation!

@Dirty_Nurse; @Deryck;

You were right, South Park Freemium Isn't Free! is funny. I never really watch that show. I just watched a Random Episode in my Computer - The Terrance & Philip Mobile.

@Deryck !

We are not going to fight over this. We are on the same side. King Games and its team and their supporters here are on the look-out for fights so they'll have a reason to shut this down. Let's keep on posting and continue this fight until King folds even if we have to cross the bridge of 2020.

Are my posts being censored somehow? I literally just said the same thing about all of us being on the same side and to stop nitpicking at each other.

Hi there, @Dirty_Nurse !

Let's just continue what we are here for and focus on what is important so we can win this.

Let's just consider this a Fun Event in the History of Candy Crush Saga! I met a lot of friendly members here who I wouldn't even think of knowing till we are in this situation. I wish we could have a Potluck of some sort. Just kidding!

@mercerik Then you misunderstood my first comment. No, I don't see King being visited by the ghosts of Candy Crush Past to make them change their decision. My comment referred to King realizing they're not fooling anyone.
You mean there was some OTHER guy who chimed in to your conversation with LuckyMe1189?! OOOH, lemme see! grabs binoculars 👀

The fact that there has been no official response by King to this highly-trending thread after almost three weeks now should clue even the most braindead money-spender into the fact that King - in a stark contrast to this entire community’s name - does not care about its constituents at all.

Constituents?? ... I think you spelled peasants wrong. LoL

CarynVB said:

This appears to be The Team at King. Has anyone heard from any of these guys or attempted reaching out to them on social media?

Yes. To no avail. They don't read email from peasants, they have minions that ignore us FOR them. Ha! They're too busy stacking their gold bars and thinking of ways to screw up the games even more...

CarynVB said:

Why would any of those people waste their time responding to the various comments of their apparently worthless “customers”? They’re probably too busy rolling around in the dough that their millions of foolish money-spending-players-of-free-games put into their coffers.

When I think of the higher-ups at this company I envision Scrooge McDuck diving into his money bin ala Duck Tales.

I just wanna know how y'all know who chose which reaction to your post and why it even matters. No, I really care about the why it matters, cuz it doesn't. No one is laughing at anyone to be mean and if anyone thinks that they may want to thicken up their skin. Your words are fair game and open to individual interpretation.
I choose a reaction based on how I feel about what was said, that is IF I react at all. As for me, the Hehe gets chosen as a "yeah, take THAT..." when I agree with what was said. Don't be so sensitive, y'all. We're all in the same boat and on the same side. Black and white words are read and reacted to differently by everyone.

Same here, I have no idea how to view who exactly “liked” my posts, if I click on it it says “you can’t react to your own post”.

Bottom line here is like Jethrina says, we are all on the same page and shouldn’t be nitpicking amongst ourselves(though personally I admit I will always look down upon anyone that spends real money on virtual goods for a completely free-to-play game).

The fact that there has been no official response by King to this highly-trending thread after almost three weeks now should clue even the most braindead money-spender into the fact that King - in a stark contrast to this entire community’s name - does not care about its constituents at all.

Deryck said:

Actually, I believe it's the opposite. The lack of new comments/activity may be a good thing. Right now King is "testing" players and this community. It stirs up controversy to get more views and posts in its forums (i.e. popularity contest). It adds the new "milestone" badges too for that same purpose.
So if people simply leave and stop being active, both in-game and here, it may make King come to its senses and realize people won't put up with its transparent motives.

er, WUT? I fully support the restoration of the reset ability and for the game to return to being the fun game it used to be, minus timed boosters. I laughed because I think it doesn't make a difference whether a single forum thread's active or not.
As others have already pointed out, King has made several calculated changes over the past months, and getting rid of the board reset doesn't seem like a spur-of-the-moment decision. They played this card, and now they're timing how long to use it to see what happens. I'm not going to get upset because I can see exactly what they're doing. What I will be is patient, as I've always been when it comes to the game; that's why I'm still in the upper 1000 levels.
I'm not sure what your wake up comment was about since I'm very much a realist. If people want to complain and raise hell, I don't see that as a problem. I just don't think it'll make a difference as explained above.

@Deryck !

The First Quote above was the reason I told you to Wake-up! This is Reality and not a Fantasy. We are not in a movie where the Antagonist changes in the end like the Grinch Who Stole Christmas. Read your statement!

In the Second Quote, what makes you think it was you I was talking about? Enlighten me!
