Weekly Contest - Why do I not see my Friends ?

Freddy_

@rocketrob2 Hi and welcome, This is the same for us all now. Recent changes in the game now mean not only will your friends be in your game but also other King and Facebook account holders as well

Thank you

Hello everyone!

Thank you @Spinnifix for bringing this to my attention.

As @Katielb points very well the Studio had to make some changes regarding FB friends and that is why you see some other players ( not bots) from the King accounts.

The game tries to match players ( so in this case you) with relevant active friends when possible and if it could not detect any, it will try to match you with other opponents similar to your progression in-game.

Please rest assured that you are indeed playing against other players, just that not all of them are from your FB friends list but from King accounts.

In any case, I'm going to forward your feedback to the Studio, and let's see if I can provide some more light on this. 🤗

Hi all. Just wanted to update all, I have found if I send out lives to all my soda friends they will send them back to me. I took me a few times to do t.his before they realized what I was doing. So if anyone wants to add me to their friend's list we can also send lives back and forth to each other. I myself do not know how to add friends. So if someone can tell me how I would be thankful. Be not discouraged there are always things to do to make things better. Look forward to sharing with all of you.💌

I wrote it to you privately !!

I have my fb setting on private and for my friends only. (not open to the public). So, why would I want my games open to the public as well? I only want my fb friends to have ability to be played against.....

Hello @skykennene !

I will pass your suggestion to the Studio to see if this is something they could bring to the game in the future but as for this moment, there's no option to be only matchmade with FB friends. 🤗

When I first started playing CC it was only FB friends but now it is bots 😡 they have really high scores it is impossible to beat them.

The only real player and my friend is Jessica in 5th place so why can’t all of them be friends???

Monday first day of a new week and my top player (Nancy I’ve never heard of) is on 305!!!

Now tell me theses are not bots haha.

No point in playing this game as got no chance of winner first place.

I will post a screenshot at the end of the week to show how stupidly high these bots can get.
