YOU WILL NOT BE THE ONLY ONE!!

Trust me, it'll actually help this addiction !! Aghhhhh! 😤🤬

They keep taking away little by little so we get used to it, almost like Stockholm Syndrome

CustomerCare doesn't even answer emails (from me lol😆) anymore

JillyJill

Yes, idk why they keep taking things away. I mean, we haven't come this far to only "come this far". I depend on the bakery and Mastery comp.

They took away the Batula feature giving a mega sucker or 2 (The ones we won in the bakery) and others etc etc

Now, if we miss a level on bakery we don't get to go back to the 2nd to the last level to get back into the bakery. Well none of the past levels actually.

Sorry not sorry King, but what is the actual logic behind this "new test"

I'll definitely give up the game, I already broke up with CCS now it's gonna be CCSS 😢

__MULLIGANACEOUS__

Forward progression is absolutely contraindicated. I am at Level 470.

I advise you to calm down and cool down during the test feature. 🟦

See the Ideas section for more information.

Hi LoFi, question. It's been over a week now. When will we see the MANY more levels (they just added the normal 45 this Friday, when will we see the MANY more contests that was first mentioned in you original post?

Hi @janicestaels and welcome to the Community!

An upcoming test for Golden Pins & Old Levels in Soda

janicestaels

Hi, I am new here. I was wondering if anyone knows if not being able to replay levels is temporary or if it's permanent.

icyxcc

same here that's exactly why i came to check here in the community as had An unfortunate feeling this was another thing that's been 'done' rather than a glitch… certainly looks that way to me.

this is about the biggest deal breaker there is as far as I'm concerned. i will not be FORCED into which levels im allowed to play. sometimes i don't play a new level at all for days or occasionally even weeks! but i DO go back and revisit various earlier levels and i WAS playing every day (and paying real money for the privelege from time purely because I ENJOYED playing* *MY WAY ie at my OWN pace - which for me also includeds REGULARLY revisiting old levels].

i will STILL not be forced to move forward! if i cannot go BACK i still won't be pushed into new levels. i DEFINITELY wont be being pushed into playing ONLY new levels. therefore since i will not be forced into moving forward and now we get it sprung on us without warning or consultation that we will no longer be 'allowed' to 'go back' have a do over& Replay over earlier levels… insisting in this change for me only forces one outcome and it isn't the outcome this change is intended to force! if you won't let us'go back'and the timing is such that I'm not READY to attempt moving forward/accept being pushed forward. that makes for a really straightforward no brainer decision as far as I go. and that's it: that's AS far AS I GO! nothing for me to play then i just won't be playing! I've literally just gone from i make an effort to actually play every day and mostly without fail! to as it stands right at this moment it's completely ruined for me and if it stays thus that's me gone, taking my daily player status and associated regular income right along with us.

right then I'm outta here. if this one's intended/not a glitch and conrinues in its current state you'll have lost at least one loyal player which no doubt means pretty much nothing to the powers that be in their ivory towers no doubt at all. however for those folks up in those ivory towers: DON'T THINK I'LL BE THE ONLY ONE. THERE'LL BE MORE THAN ME LOOKING AT THE GREYED OUT LEVELS AT THIS VERY MOMENT AND THINKING CKHFGCUC),'Gmcboyf! FOLLOWED BY VOTING WITH THEIR FEET!

will check in sometime …see if things ever go back to how they were before these latest unexpected unconsulted/UNWANTED changes end up ever going bk to how they always were/how they always should be.

I'm inclicum.bu.xuvu ynjtkuhrbtbx cfu mn at this one it's an absolute ,£?'GCC mbckj utterly outrageous beyond the pale. I'll be honest most times i say nothing for the most part when you insult us and change things for the worse as to be detrimental to your collective loyal players.

unfortunately you REALLY have RUINED this game (for me definitely and no doubt for many others). cant not speak up to let you know You're about to lose at least one (potentially X number of what WERE your loyal/daily/regular players. or maybe to put it a better way for sakes of ivory towers : "YOUR LOYAL/DAILY/REGULAR REVENUE SOURCES" whichever gets the message seen heard and understood best. because this one's already totally disastrous. it would be inhumane to say nothing just await the impending …whatever. but whatevers .. it's coming.

Hi my friend if you select HERE you can find the announcement regarding your question 💓

Same here, I'm a little OCD and need 3 stars every level.

If I can't go back, I can't go forward lol. I guess I'm done with this game. Probably better for me anyway.

UncleBobby1

Hi K, there is a whole discussion board about this, do a search on "cannot replay levels". Basically the Towering Geniuses in design are supposedly adding "many more new levels, and many more new features" (ain't seen nothin yet). Just be thankful you have levels to play, I am max'ed out (18,000+).

P.S. If someone (Help Desk) every tells you to uninstall/reinstall the game DON'T DO it. You will lose Consecutive Days Played Bonus, Gold Bars, Boosters, and Power-Ups. They will probably reimburse any items purchased but NOT anything won in a contest. And it probably won't fix the issue. Best of luck in the game.

Yeah, same thing’s happening with me. It’s like this rule has been enforced overnight! (see here):

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-soda-saga/discussion/586208/why-can-t-i-play-in-older-levels-anymore

Kristofer_B_Foote

I’m on Level 180 right now, and I’m trying to play in Level 12 which I usually do, but now I can’t play on any level lower than 180, despite me closing and restarting the app, rebooting my iPhone, and deleting and reinstalling the app multiple times, including switching King accounts!! It’s even more frustrating because I was able to play on any level just yesterday by simply scrolling back on the map, and I realized it had suddenly locked my level forward (seemingly changed and upgraded overnight), forcing my “current position” to stay at its highest level—what’s going on here? Anyone else experiencing this?

Korneel

Hi!

~~That's odd.. Could you give a bit more information? At what point does it not work to play an older level? Can you still click on the level pins? Does the play-level screen show up?~~

EDIT: Ah yes, should have read more carefully first. This is indeed something being tested.. Remember that feedback is welcome! Thanks!

kevkage

I do hope they fix this. I am trying to get three stars on every level and of course I don’t always get it on the first try. I’ve got three stars on everything through level 3540 and after having been at this since its inception will be very unhappy if that’s where it ends 😅

UncleBobby1

Lets hope they wake up soon. Another thing the geniuses didn't consider. Can't play won't spend money either.

JillyJill

Hey @UncleBobby1

YeahI'm at the end on mobile.

So for the 4 in a row, I just pick a square that doesn't need "on new levels" like collect red, stripes, etc. Can't even do that now.

Grow a Bear works on the mastery levels unless they changed that too. EDIT: Mastery levels still work for grow a bear, rocket boost & turbo tonic.

There's also Mastery Level competitions. Grow a bear usually works in the MLevels too. I haven't started them today.

Impressive 1,535 days in a row 🙌 👏 I actually took a few years off haha I'm like an addict and need CCS rehab!

Buttl the bakery always keeps me occupied because I need my mega lollipops!!! I bounce around my teams. Have a few favorites and just keep playing the bakery or mastery.

Thankfor the info!

Happy crushing!

✌️💚

UncleBobby1

Hi JillyJill, quick answer. It's intentional, apparently we are part of a "test group". Supposedly they are "improving" the game (many more contests (where), many more new levels (where)). I don't know about you, but I am max'ed out on levels (the few I have left I am saving for Friday's contest). Can't replay levels, can't play Grow a Bear or 4 in a Row. I just hope they return everyback to normal on Thursday's update. NEXT TIME JUST ASK US. Really well thought out manuver. P.S. I have played over 1,535 days straight.

JillyJill

Hello,

Sometimes I need to play old levels and I usually play the 2nd to the last level when building a cake if i get stuck in the cake. I know bakery is not open today. But I went to click on old levels for one of the contests and it's not letting me into any level.

Thank you for your help! 😇
