Talk:The Bombs/@comment-25489073-20141101034656

Sadly I won't be playing Candy Crush anymore unless they nerf this wretched level. I expect it to happen and I hope that it will be sooner rather than later.

Of course it's possible as it exists now to do it without boosters. There is evidence of that on YouTube. Shuffling or a lucky chocolate that destroys a bomb can make a difference.

I suspect that whoever did the YouTube no-boosters video that I watched played it dozens if not a few hundred times before completimg the level.

To me, considering that King rigs the game, a luck-based level like this is like trying to get a royal flush on a poker slot machine. It can happen. But it only happens when the RNG (random number generator) makes it happen.

I think that this is the first candy crush level where almost every move puts you in more jeopardy.

I've been a computer programmer for 46 years. I can tell you, without hesitation, that it is possible to design algorithm to make sure that a player will never pass this level. I am almost certain that King keeps track of how much money players have spent. Intentionally making this impossible for people such as myself who have never spent a cent is not beyomd the realm of possibility.

I'm certain that I cancomplete this if I bought enough boosters that increase the starting bomb count. But why bother? So that I can advance to another level where they pull the same stuff?

I'll play Soda Crush and Farm Heroes. I will not visit Candy Crush anymore until I see a notification on this page that this level has been nerfed. I realize that means I won't play it again until next year and poossibly several months into that year.

I have enjoyed Candy Crush to this point because most levels involve skill as well as luck. If I want to play a slot machine, I can go to a nearby casino. I thought that Candy Crush would continue to be better than that. Sadly I was wrong.

To those of you who have completed this level, with or without boosters, I say congratulations. You are either better than me or luckier, definitely the latter and quite possibly both.

If anyone from the King organization reads this, I hope that you will consider nerfing this one as soon as possible and that, in the future, you will consider putting out fewer levels that are totally luck-based such as this one and the previous two. If you want to turn a lot of people off, I am certain that you will do it with this level which, because every move is a potential disaster, makes it easily (in my view) the most insanely insane level in Reality.
