Talk:Level 1803/@comment-24693751-20160704230343

Well after about 250 tries(I have mild OCD, don't ask) I can finally say I passed this level without boosters/gold bars. I stopped counting at try 198 because even just keeping track was getting exhausting but I know I played around 50ish more times. My no booster/gold bar score is a whopping 53,780. I'm so exhausted and worn out from playing obsessively (was playing hardcore nonstop last night and for the last couple of hours today) and that combined with lack of sleep and just general life stress stuff has made my victory seem not very victorious. This is by far the hardest time I've ever had passing a level without boosters. I think before this, the worst was 90 tries and that was recently (can't remember the level)Before that was 55. So notice the progressions. I completely understand why this level is making people want to give up. I can't believe it says it has been nerfed already....what was it before, score a million points in 30 seconds? Well regardless IMO it needs to be nerfed again. The games are running together in my head but I'm pretty sure when I passed with NBU, I was able to make 3 cb's but the board exploded them all during the game (not in Sugar crush). I had other specials on the board, including some wraps. Also I was making wrapped /striped combos a lot & found them helpful, I wrote the reasons below in a comment to Bookworm. Also since the board kept moving (with the w/s's and exploding cb's), a lot of +5s popped up. Honestly I had no idea I'd passed until I looked down & saw my score. I thought I'd feel some sense of accomplishment but after all that work, it just seems anticlimactic 🙁 However at least I can report it's possible. Just barely but it is. Anyway Happy 4th of July everyone!🎇
