New feature - Mr Toffee's Fair!

Yosca

Hi @Xarly. Why are my quests has been disappeared and still no Mr. Toffee’s fair. I understand It will take some time to give it to every player. However, now my quests are gone I can’t get prizes. I think this is an unfair situation. Please let the studio know they should give players Mr. Toffee or Quests. I am really not amused.

This new Mr Toffee’s Fair game is a woefully horrific substitute for the old “quests”.  You can only turn two tiles per day.  And my “friend” has been sitting on a tile I need to complete a line for 2 days!  
I am on level 2599 and at this point, without boosters-  the game is frustrating and boring- I sit on one level for days on end.  I am SO DISAPPOINTED.  Searching for a new game.  Any suggestions?  I would not like to stay in the King family because I feel cheated and would hate to invest as much as I have in a new game only to be slapped in the face this way again.

Hi everyone,

Let us introduce you to: Mr Toffee's Fair! From tomorrow on, you will start seeing this new feature in game. But, what is it about?

Mr Toffee’s Fair is a board game played in a team of 3!

It’s the new version of Quests – but even better, because

• You win prizes faster
• You get to work in a team, and all earn prizes together

How does it work?

• You will be put in a team at random with two other players to complete a board together.
• Each board has 16 tiles. Each tile is a task, which your team members complete one at a time.
• Your team wins when together you complete a row or column of 4 tasks (no diagonals!) Then you all get a prize!

How to Play

• Each player can tap on a tile to see a task before choosing it.
• Once you successfully complete a task, the tile becomes a tick. Make a row or column of 4 ticks to win the board!
• Players can only play one task at a time and can complete two tasks per day.
• Don’t leave it too long! Boards expire within 14 days
• When you finish the board, you will automatically get a new board with a new team.

What can I win?

Mr Toffee has a whole load of prizes to hand out! These include lollipop hammers, wrapped candies, color bombs, and so much more. Play to find out what you could win!

Remember, only team members who have completed at least one task on a board will get prizes. So go on, help out your team!

Here is a video that explains how the mechanics work:

If you have any feedback or question around it, don't be shy and comment below!

OK, I've approached Toffee with an open mind - only got it yesterday.
I was thinking that it wasn't too bad, then I hit the "only 2 tiles per day" bit. 

What.  The.  Actual.  F***. 
How are we supposed to build up boosters with that restriction?   If you have a good day and get through a lot of levels, you're going to use more boosters than you earn - and if you get stuck with 2 partners who aren't helping for some reason, you can't even take up the slack!

IMO, this is a failure, please either kill it completely, or at least remove that 2 tiles a day bit.

Yes, I commented in some discussion line that  because of its restrictions it should be offered as an addition to the regular quests and not totally replace them. Some of the tasks like asking you to use boosters doesn't make sense. Aren't we trying to win boosters?  Shouldn't have the 2 tile restriction. Especially if I don't know if and whenthe other's will be helping. I prefer doing some of these things on my own!

When I read the latest comments I would say this Mr. Toffee’s fair, which I still don’t have, isn’t that better as the quests before. Like @Xarly said: 

“You win prizes faster
You get to work in a team, and all earn prizes together”

I’m sad that I still haven’t had the chance to play this

Anne_Martin

well. I have played for 2 or 3 years and I'm done. Sad, really. 
The way it is done is not acceptable, and you know it. If most players stop playing, kong will have to change the new rules.

I prefer the quests.  This Mr. Toffee whatever is NOT fun.  One of the challenges was to use a lollipop hammer.  That's a terrible "task" or whatever it's called on Mr. Toffee.

Xarly

Hi all,

Thanks for the very insightful feedback. We will make sure it gets passed on to the team but bear in mind that this is the first iteration of the event, so things can always improve.

@Anne_Martin , it's okay not to be at the best moment with our game, and we appreciate you coming and letting us know. That said, thankfully Candy Crush Soda is at a very steady state and we are happy to have such a healthy game that is literally played by millions a day for more than 4 years!

I understand that not all things can please all of our players, but wanted to make sure that the reality around the game's health was mentioned.

Cheers and please, keep all feedback coming,
Xarly

Mr. Toffee is a BIG decline in the game. How are you supposed to win prices quicker with Mr Toffee? (as mentioned). Before I could do 3 quests a day. So daily I won 10 boosters. Now I can only do 2 tiles a day (because it’s limited) so I am depending on the rest of the team to win anything at all as you need 4 tiles (at least).  Again on other decline in this game 😔. And when I finally won the prize it was almost nothing. As one of the quest was to use 4 lolly hammers I spent 4 boosters to win one.

OK, so why mess with what works - if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

My quests have gone and I don't have Mr Toffees Fair.

How the hell am I supposed to get through difficult levels without any lollipop hammers etc?

I'm now very bored with level 2583 and would have completed it twice in the last two days if I'd been able to earn a hammer or two.

There's no point in playing if you can't advance is there.

Please give us our quests back!

I have been playing candy crush soda since it first came out and I have seen a lot of changes, some good and some not so good. So far this new fair feature would fall under the not so good category. I’ve had it now for a few days and haven’t won a single thing. My “teammates” have been on the same tiles for 3 days! Not only are they not helping but they are blocking me from being able to complete a line on 2 different lines! And this 2 tiles per day restriction is really not helping either. Personally, I’d much rather have the quests back. This fair thing just isn’t working for me.

I got this last week.  You have to click on one of the pink squares.  This morning I picked a square but I didn't like the choice because I had to combine 2 striped candies twice so I clicked on another square and chose using the hand.  But the level that I was on I really didn't like that choice so I picked another square.  I lost the level and didn't use the hand.  I just opened the game again and it asked me if I wanted to continue using the hand and I clicked off of it.  Then I was able to pick another square.   There are a lot of choices.  My team and I won so when I opened the game today I got 1 hour of a striped candy and 1 hour of fish.

I hate this new feature. I want the qiests back or I think I have lost interest in it. I enjoyed completing the quests. This mr. Toffee fair is stupid !!!
