New Feature! Soda Summer Vacation

Well, what happens in a day from now? I haven't been able to catch a key in almost 2 months (being stuck on normal levels) and haven't been able to finish 1 game in 1 go..... so I suppose I wont get the next week's challenge?

Summer Festival - 4th Week (7/22/2020) - 2nd Reward (230 Points) - Candy Crush Soda Saga

Summer Festival - 4th Week (7/22/2020) - 3rd Reward (270 Points) - Candy Crush Soda Saga

Summer Festival - 4th Week (7/22/2020) - 4th Reward (504 Points) - Candy Crush Soda Saga

Summer Festival - Completed Quests For The 4th Week - Candy Crush Soda Saga

Since the timer says, 6d 16h, I guess we are getting more, or another 4 weeks of this. Let's hope it is improved by then.

Here is what I was given for quests, on the 4th week:

• Make "Candy Bombs & "Coloring Candies".
• Earn "Stars".
• Play or rather buy "Gumball Goodies".
• Get "Gold Pins". <--------------------Requires "New Levels" To Do This Quest!

Gumball Goodies - Requires 39 Gold Bars To Play - For 3 Gumball Capsules On Either Diamond, Gold Or Pink, Premium Goodies!

To earn the "Gold Pin", You must complete the latest level in one attempt.

So once again, I am limited on what I can play. Because of being at the end of the game, was not factored in. Only the top 2 quests would or should be considered. Should be clear, that spending 39 Gold Bars to get points is out of the question. You would have to keep buying it, to get the next level of points. "Gold Pins" are out, because today is Wed., "New Levels" are on Fri's.

A word on getting "Stars". Like others who have reached the end, replaying past levels, is something you can do, mostly for "Soda Squad Teams". However, like others, you will notice that most of these past levels are, "Hard", "Super Hard", "Ultra Hard", that have 1 or 2 Stars on them. So to get more "Stars", you need Pre-Boosters (The Ones You Check Off Before Entering The Level), as a general rule. You can try without them, but plan to be old & gray, in doing it that way.

*Also, see Page 2 for:

• *The Sprinkleshell Levels!
• *The Sprinkleshell Advantage! 

Need to go to "Part 2" below. Out of text again.

Thx Origins7 Dale, 😀

• Part 2

Hi @LadyRaffie @Lola_Pop @Yosca @candycrushinit @Sofia @Sweetice @Quervo @Anrames @Pitty_Kitty  @Crazyforfun @rock2233 @earmanja794 @LizzyLemondrop @BeckyBubblegum @teresawallace44 @Werner_Cichy   & The "Soda Summer Vacation!" Group,

With the above in mind, let's now look at the rewards, for this 4th week:

• 1h 50 mins on Lives. Again, same answer as before. Not needed, have "Facebook", for "Free Lives".
• 20 mins on "Candy Bomb". Helpful, but only in playing this mini / side game. Not of much use for the main game or higher levels. In fact, even if I had any new levels, scrolling from Level 451 back to Level 5231, would cut into this limited timed booster. One reason I don't like them. 
• 1 Hand Switch. Again, helpful.
• 35 Gold Bars. Again, helpful, but not enough. Here is a comparison. It costs 19 Gold Bars for 3 Lollipop Hammers, for 6 of them, you need 38 Gold Bars. That's a minimum. You can get better deals, if you buy more. 

This of course is not even considering what boosters you used to make or rather get into position those "Candy Bombs" & "Coloring Candies". Then don't forget to add the "Pre-Boosters" you used on getting "Stars".

So should be clear, this mini / side game, is just not worth it. Your investment in it, far exceeds what you hope to get from it. It needs to be reevaluated by King, especially from the reward side.

So again, before answering those questions by @LadyRaffie, let me say first, I am always in favor on having any mini / side game that gives players more opportunities to win boosters.

My evaluation on this hasn't changed. In fact, I may have understated the case. 

👉What did you think about it? *Again, its ok. Even challenging, but not enough rewards for the time / work done.

👉How would you describe Soda Summer Vacation in a couple of words or a sentence? *A difficult mini / side game, that doesn't pay off like it should.  

👉What quests did you do? *Could only do 2 of the 4 quests. Making "Candy Bombs with Coloring Candy" & getting "Stars". 

👉Did you find the event or the quests challenging? Is there any quest in particular or something specific that made you find it so challenging? *Yes, it is very challenging. Keeping Candy Bombs & Coloring Candies from blowing up, until they are ready. 

👉Anything else you would like to share with us about it? *As with all these mini / side games, it has potential. But, the "Reward" side of it, needs to be brought way up.
