User blog:Godstick/Continuing Nerf of Hard Levels

As Level 184 is nerfed on Facebook. I have found two other levels being redesigned to be easier: Level 102 and Level 147. The new 102 has two rows of regular meringues sandwiching a row of licorice swirl in the lower part of the board. Moreover, candy bombs on that level have a threshold of 8 moves. The new 147 has only 2 layers in each multilayer meringue. As a result, Level 102 could be too easy for the hell's cluster 102-105, and Level 147 is no longer insanely hard.

For the new difficulty, I think medium or considerably hard will do. However, the phone versions remain unchanged. So a split difficulty is strongly recommended.

I am disappointed that King has made formerly hard levels so much easier than before. This will eventually make Candy Crush Saga less and less challenging, losing its appeal at least to hardcore players. In my opinion, very hard levels can be nerved, but only with slight or unnoticeable changes. If I had to change the two levels, I would only change the bombs in Level 102 at 8 moves without modifying the lower part. For Level 147, I would only change the corner jellies covered by meringues to single jelly.
