I seriously doubt that what I say will be read by anyone, but I really really really think that King is making a major mistake AGAIN. First not being able to change the board and now among other things not being able to build up bots by going back. Wake up King. How many people are dissatisfied and leaving???! Other corporations are stepping up to provide extra diversions, while you are doing the opposite.
I just joined today, but have been playing candy crush since it was created. I am up in the 5000's and searched the internet upon the removal of my build-a-bot, which I am seeing is the result of the update. I cannot express the level of ire this brings up with regard to this game.
The ability to go into and exit a level without losing a turn was removed... this makes NO sense, but I just sucked it up.
I sucked it up when realizing that resetting the time clock many times causes my timed boosters to disappear, even after (shamefully) I'd paid to have that hour or 2 of boosters, which is rendered moot when you run out of lives in 5 turns and have to deal with watching your "paid-for" boosters go away... Interesting that they can make sure you don't spin the wheel twice in 24 hours, but heaven forbid you get to reset the clock to play out your boosters.
THIS BUILD-A-BOT situation is simply pure extortion. I am playing at such a high level that many times, it is nearly impossible to pass a level without boosters. During this time when we are all quarantined, you'd think that King could be a bit more sensitive to those of us that are enjoying the time to ourselves and indulging in (possibly spiked 😉) hot cocoa and tons of hours of game play. I am not willing to spend a day or two on one level due to not being able to earn boosters at lower levels to help me pass the very very difficult high ones. It saddens me so much that King has done this and removed something that brings a bit of joy to my now very isolated days. It takes TIME to scroll down to the beginning of the game from 5k levels up. The fact that many of us are willing to do so, just to move forward should be effort enough.
I am positive that this post will make no difference, as in this country (and in most) capitalism is more important than the people that make this game so great. I too, will be among those of you that are considering leaving the game. I simply do not have the time or resources to spend money or hours on one level, because the creators are trying to usurp every penny from the player.
No, the founders and original owners of King sold King back in 2016 and you can bet the new owners of King have no intentions of ruining anything. Such negativity. SMH.
@louiseT could you tell me some names of nice free games where your progress isn't connected with paying real money for imaginary gold bars, please? I'm tired of the ridiculously hard levels. I can never build a bot again because of that and they removed the bot for previous ones. So tough and frustrating! I just cannot afford to splash out £££ for every level!
They are not the 'free boosters' that have been taken away, they only took away the ones you can earn which takes time. If I was lucky enough to be employed I would be earning enough to buy those same boosters in that same time. Still I now have more free time to spend on depressing dead end job applications!
I do feel bad that some people pay for a game that's supposed to be free to enjoy and I used to watch the ads to make sure something at least goes back to the creators.
Fact is now the game is free to play but requires spending to enjoy.
Also however much I stretch the grey matter I would never reach your giddy heights without extra boosters. Rest assured.
I've been playing candy crush for several years, am currently past level 6400, and have finished a few times (and had to wait for new levels). I've noticed some of the recent changes, e.g. limits on jelly then switching it off completely, and most recently build-a-bot no longer allowing replays.
These changes have affected the way I play the game - in some cases it had me playing more, and in others playing less. It's clear that King want to push us hard to buy more gold. In all this time playing, I have not spent very much, and don't intend to. I'm sure you have tons and tons of big data on usage profiles and feed this back to your booster design, all with the goal of maximising revenue.
Like many others, I'm not happy with the current changes, and have taken the step of speaking up about this. If as a result, I can control how much time I spend playing, that's probably a good thing. At the end of the day, it's your game and your business. Everything you do to change the game has consequences.
PS On the game, I'm logged in with Facebook, but on the forum (via web), I was unable to do that. Why?
Booster bots are basically worthless now that you can only charge them up on new levels. I always tried to have it charged to full capacity so I could beat the new levels. Now that they discontinued sugar drops and changed the booster bots it’s not very fun anymore. Very disappointing! Too many changes to game that used to be fun.
I have been playing since the beginning and very close to level 6000. The game isn't fun anymore. It takes boosters to pass a lot of these hard levels. We have to purchase them at each level now if we don't have enough stored. The greed of this game takes your breath away.
Do you play Candy Crush Saga and Where do you come from . We have unlimited lives this weeks for three countries ( Spain, Italy and UK )
Some features have been removed from the game and some changes have been made to improve the game.So if something is missing in the game, stay tuned since it means that a new features will soon come up!
