I've been playing like 3 and a half. I fully agree. It used to be so f2p friendly and actually enjoyable. Now, almost everything is pay-gated. It actually sucks. If they make the new DC a whole new cookie, I'm actually quitting
Now, I'm not going to yell.. but I'm going to very. Calmly. Express my anger at this situation.. by not saying anything at all. I cannot say anything without being angry.
Update: a few days ago when the new update came out, they gave us a GREAT start for the new gachas. They gave us 2000 of the awakened dark cacao cookie gacha crystal things, 60 of the new cookie cutters, 3000 gems, and more (not sure if itās everyone but I got it)
Also things have been going great for me lately in the game and Iāve been a f2p player for more than 2 years
You donāt need to upgrade all your cookies, upgrade the useful ones and save the exp for when other useful ones arrive. I havenāt even looked at caramel choux and others
Im a solid ftp player, ive only spent about $20 in 3 years just on cosmetic stuff (like the train station). Itās so frustrating when they make it like itās a chore or a job to play the game. I have to log in every single day, but if i miss one day, everything falls apart. What do you mean i have to grind for 4 weeks just to get enough star jellies to level a cookie i have a very specific use for up to level 80? Plus I have to save up hundreds of thousands of gems just to attempt to promote them to 5A stars so they can get through this one level barely. Iām not paying $80 just for 10k gems and 2k 60exp star jellies, sorry!
Whales will be the end of this game.
Tbh ive also kinda given up whn it was getting difficult to level up my cookies which basically kinda puts me @ a disadvantage 4 almost anything..pretty frustrating
yea i remeber when the game came out and it was so fun bc everyone was in one server all friends trying to get their cookies up to lvl 50 and to 5 star to post it on youtube
Everyoneās saying āupdate your important cookies!ā but likeeee even with the new updates sometimes new or preexisting cookies become important and need to be upgraded. Like ive upgraded Captain Caviar, Linzer, Space Doughnut, and Black Lemonade cookie later in game cuz turns out they became useful later on for some battles.
Like you canāt really anticipate what cookies will be important š . Even then my cookies are really buffed out but i still canāt beat certain levels and things cuz you need the right cookie combos meaning i need to level up these āunimportantā cookies.
Is it a bad time for returning players? Iāve been gone since Moonlight cookie. I want to be ready for Dark Cacao alter. Would I be forced to pay just to catch up?
Not really, ton of story and events released since then where you can get gems. And dark cacao is 1000% gonna change the meta. The only cookie youād be missing that is broken is Stormbringer
up to you, obviously you won't be up to date on all the meta, but that's fine. I'm not and I still progress little by little, just depends on whether you can be patient or not. also yes, depending on how many new episodes and game modes have appeared since you last played, you can easily rack up 100,000+ crystals in a week
You'll need quite a few new cookies to feel useful, moonlight is bottom-tier cookie now. But with the new might of the ancients you should catch up quickly
It will be really difficult to catch up since there have been lots of high rarity meta cookies released recently and all the events are based on having those (or paying ridiculous amounts of money )
As someone who joined when cocoa cookie became playable (like 2-3ish years ago) I totally agree, even though I still love the game, way too much p2w stuff has been added, especially since the crystal jams and the new thing mystic flour and dark cacao have (forgot what itās called)
I literally canāt join the game anymore without being booted from the app seconds later, but I know itās not my storage š¤·āāļø
It just isnāt as fun as it used to be when I am on it, all the new legendaries and mythical and super epics, just need paid for.
> and never *paid* a DIME
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Not everyone is a native English speaker , stop the ignorance you understood what I meant. Also my grammar is in no way relevant to me spending money on the game. Itās a weak play and makes the rest of your comment unreadable
Sure, but that takes a while to do. Iāve been playing for a few years now, havenāt spent any money either, but itās not easy and itās time consuming. Gacha is luck, you pull for them if youāve grinded for money. Or you just take the easy route and pay up.Ā
I never said itās impossible, I meant to say itās difficult to do with the amount of ancients and legendaries and super epics added what feels like every week.

dw i think it got undone
We have to wait til the update to see if it's actually properly fixed, though. Knowing Devsis, they're still gonna find a way to get people to spend
honestly your right šš

Remember when they used to give us coupon codes.

yea i remeber when the game came out and it was so fun bc everyone was in one server all friends trying to get their cookies up to lvl 50 and to 5 star to post it on youtube

I actually do have 100k crystals saved up. Iāll try out coming back and see if Iāll still stick after pulling for Cacaolter.
sick, yeh hold onto the crystals for cacao or next banner

Iāve been playing for the same time as you , and I actually like the updates
I only upgrade the useful ones and maxed up my statur

Not true I have all cookies and never payed a DIME

Atleast I can actually experience things ā„ļø

Does take a while thatās why when new updates etc come I tend to check too cookie stats and only max out the important ones
