Newer players are gonna have a rough time catching up to veterans which sucks

​@@ClumsyYTyeah, Cadillac ass

And returning players cause I played back when summoners where at the top with Cotton and Pumkin Pie

i mean newer player not standing a chance have been a problem since when they only have one server (the vanilla server) they kinda fix it with adding a new server (rasberry server) so i'm guessing they gonna do the same thing? (tho i've heard there are already a new server?)

And theres no new server since dark cacao

this. i loved and would play CRK daily from pumpkin pie - - > BTS but now when i go to it its just so complicated and P2W. not to mention the last ancient was cacao which was released in FEBUARY 2022.

​@@lemonberry3242yea and?? There's not much ancients to release left, golden cheese is coming SOON and white lily won't come after all

​@@lemonberry3242what about all the legendaries released since? Dragons?

@@ThreeGachaSisters Legendaries and ancients are seperate. i have zero idea as to how or why you're trying to defend this hot mess of a game

@@lemonberry3242because people have their own opinions honey, get used to it

same. The epic rates are now decreased and it feels like it's getting harder to pull for new cookies and stay consistently online in general

Same

Tru

Same :’)

Gacha games are for people who like to grind for rewards if you can’t do that what’s the point of trying to be competitive… 😂 CRK has the highest volume of complainers and cry babys

There's the new special episodes, they're great

⁠@@ThreeGachaSisters are they also locked behind menial tasks?

​@@ThreeGachaSistersThey're hard as shit to beat, so no point

Well atp I don't think I'll ever get back to CRK because of how p2w it is nowadays 💀 I stopped playing since City of Wizards Stardust Cookie update btw

Same I was f2p and it’s made me feel, it was very boring and I started playing Genshin which was surprisingly better

Although crob sometimes get into bad situations, I feel like the game is much better and much more stable than kingdom

yepyep, only complaint these days is that super epics seem to only be reserved to new cookies, but im sure thatll be removed eventually, and even if not, its not a big deal. Cant wait to see the next legendary on there because i have to say all the new legendaries look AWESOME. i love the dragons and abyss monarch is cool asf

Whats crob?

@@Roshiza-eo5vx Cookierun Ovenbreak, the original game. (Tho the original one was from LINE, and the original from that one was a flash game)

@@lupita_Arsi okkkk

_this is also what I'm experiencing rn. It's so difficult to keep up with everyone in the arena (like the new metas), grinding for hours, and waiting to claim stuff._

The only super epic I didn’t grind soulstones for is stardust 💀 the rest took me way too long because of how long it takes to have their soulstones pop up anywhere

I played since Tea Knight update and tbh back then it was way more fun to play. I can get super epics easily before they remove the pity system. Now, you want an epic+ cookie? Hell nah

@@sh1t_nugget I wish I had played back then, the devsisters became more and more greedy in the kingdom :/ at least now I got Sherbet, but I don't think I should level him since I have other cookies that replace what he does

@@cold4616 So true. They also did the same thing to Ovenbreak and even used one of the Community Managers as literal human shields to deal with those hate they're getting for the game being p2w. One of the CMs even had a mental breakdown on stream because of the hate Ovenbreak's getting

you know it's gotten bad when even the kingdom design decors are getting p2w

the crimson coral banner is p2w too 😭🥲🙃

And nice, they erased Golden Cheese out of the story

the missions are very f2p, what are u talking about, just play every day and do the missions. i agree about the mileage which is rly stupid move from them, but its easy to get the free currancy to gurantee u the new cookie

lucky lucky, golden cheese update now 😭

New players are gonna be fine. My dad started mid august and he's been to master 1 already

@@ThreeGachaSisters lucky him huh? Must've gotten all the legends, epics, and dragons

Same I’ve been playing the game since it launched and its upsetting to see how the game changed after it slowly declines

​@ThreeGachaSisters I don't want to be mean, but can you literally stop talking over other people's opinions and complaints about the game? You're in so many of the replies under people talking about how they feel the game has been falling off for them. Not only do you sound like a boot licker with all the "But you don't have to pay! My dad started playing last month, and he's already reached Elite and Master!" and "But everything has been great!", but it's really irritating lol. Let people freaking talk. Also, just saying, I'm calling bull in regards to your dad reaching master within such a short time span. Unless he's in the cacao server or he's p2w, that's highly unlikely to be the case. I'm in the HB server, having played over a year, and am a dolphin, and was able to reach elite a while back. When I first started out, wasn't even close to reaching masters let alone elite.

I remember joining on release but dropping it for a bit and returning for the sonic event only to barely even get Tails. Yeah... I feel like it's that but wayyy worse.

Same...

Kingdom is too popular to shut down cookie wars shut down cuz it wasn’t getting as popular

i doubt it does. kingdom is probs too popular to fail as of right now

nah don't worry

If it was i will go as crazy as ishowspeed failing at flappy bird

ahh devsisters the gift that keeps on giving nothingburgers

Bro, save yourself vote with your wallet and time, if the company doesn’t respect you fk ‘em drop the game, I quit once black pearl came out and am not coming back I say no to this overly predatory games, I was playing HSR and just quit after saving currency for over a month and not getting the character, that’s stupid you can’t actually enjoy the game without paying, as players we got to vote with our time and wallets otherwise you’ll keep copium that the situation gets better whilst you eat shit everyday for no reason

wait ther stop doing that (i just came back to the game) geez this game is p2w now :( (EDIT) wow this game is GREEDY there was a bug a month ago and when the game came up again we only got 1k gems? wow

Honestly you shouldn’t think of it that way. Crk is really fun when you take your time as a f2p and decorate your kingdom. There’s also decent packages now that the golden cheese update came out too. There’s an amazing feeling when you strategize how to beat a stage in a special episode or get a high ranked cookie like capsaicin or golden cheese. There is no power creep because it’s always how you utilize the cookie in arena, whether it’s the toppings, buffs from other cookies, and treasures. Also the power creep part is strange because I just leveled sea fairy up to 50 for the jam and I find out she does 90k without the jam. There was also a Gacha point event that gave you a chance to get a legendary cookie of choice chest (that’s how I got black pearl) and there’s also that feeling when you discover stuff in the storyline that make your mind shocked. But I agree there can be a bit of downsides like the game crashing and the storage but there are lifesavers like just waiting in the arena shop for the desired cookies soulstones when you get them, I quit during summer soda festa and came back late tearcrown - early golden cheese I hope this can motivate you to play crk again😉

​@@goldthegoldenpenguin326 Nahh bro, if the game treats you like shit, you should leave immediately. How many days do you have to breathe in copium just to play a game that doesn't care about it's playerbase?

this isnt motivating anyone to play crk im a returning player and crk has been harder to play especially in world exploration and arena and the awful gacha system. the only reason why crk got its popularity is bcs of genshin players around september 2021@@goldthegoldenpenguin326

Not to mention how better crob fares gameplay-wise lol, I know it's been the subject of a few controversies here and there but at least it's a tad more decent

The only bad thing about the gacha removal in my opinion is that older cookies will get more and more obsolete

My dad started mid august, he was already in master 1 almost elite 5. You don't have to pay to play the game.

I read this whole thing, and your story matches my experiences perfectly. I started a little earlier than you (around the halloween update when Pumpkin Pie was released) and slowly I got consumed by the cookie run fandom. Took a few breaks every now and then and currently Im still on a break from Kingdom since the Moonlight update because it just didn't feel as "fun" anymore, I was just grinding for the meta cookies and then grinding to level them up for the arena (my favourite part of kingdom) I wasnt really going anywhere with this its just crazy somebody wrote something that matched my experience with kingdom... the only difference is I still love OvenBreak (for the gameplay, characters and stories) so Im still active in the fandom, just not in kingdom (or the puzzle game... I havent tried it as I dont really enjoy that kind of gameplay😪) I also find OvenBreak players much more kinder/friendlier than Kingdom's playerbase, maybe because most OB players are a bit older... who knows. Anyway, hopefully DevSis wakes up and realises Kingdom's going down because of their terrible handling of the game and does something to reinvigorate the fandom/playerbase, IDK 😵‍💫

I've been playing as long as you and still enjoy the game. I play it everyday, bought like two kingdom passes and that's it. I don't grind extra hard and yet I'm excited anytime a new cookie comes out. Yea, the super epics suck ass but we still have frilled jellyfish, peppermint etc. The special episodes DO NOT lack story if you don't skip it and not care about it. We finally got a black pearl's backstory, and the summer soda rock festa was also fun especially with the BTS music minigames

@@ThreeGachaSisters For me, I enjoy the special episodes but none of them grabbed me. Without the actual main story being continued I just don’t really care and everytime one comes out, something comes out alongside it that makes the game even more difficult and makes me even more stressed. On top of that, I really use to only play for arena and story, so when one of those becomes a stressful chore (arena) when they kept adding Epic+ cookie on top of Epic+ cookie, it makes the game both not fun for me and many others, but also unfair for people who aren’t willing to spend money on the game. It is a fact that this game is becoming PTW and that their methods aren’t consumer friendly at all. They are releasing good or even op cookies at a rapid pace so that unless you do the same boring chores everyday it’s a struggle to build all of them. It feels like they hear “skill powder is way to hard to get!!!” or “there isn’t enough star jellies” and then release solutions that aren’t really viable solutions. All the while they release unnecessary (albeit kinda fun) other modes, when instead they need to focus on the, currently crumbling, structures of the game like skill powder and star jellies. And then there’s stuff like magic candy, or the new legendary candies (whatever they’re called) which are nearly impossible for an FTP player to build up to a viable level by the time *another* more powerful magic candy comes up, and ofc there’s the convenient ptw package that immediately lets you unlock or level up the magic candy, most of this also applies to that little baby dragon egg thing that’s just generally a pain for anyone not willing to spend money. Story is cool, but I’m not playing a little mobile game exclusively for story, I’d rather play a game on a pc or console if I wanted that, rather I and many others play in large part, for the easy and simple, yet strategic gameplay. That’s why even though most of us ex-cookie run players say that we enjoy the special modes, we still don’t like the game as a whole. Because we want to be able to play in and actually stand a chance in arena, or actually struggle in story modes. A story could be amazing, but I don’t really care if it isn’t accompanied by really good and strategic gameplay, which this game just doesn’t have anymore. I loved episode 13/14 mostly because, A: they only released 1 ancient cookie and that was it for a few months, they weren’t just releasing a new Epic+ cookie every 1-2 months, and B: it had a gripping story and gruelingly difficult gameplay, you couldn’t just storm in with a bunch of powerful Epic+ cookies and win, you had to be really strategic with your team choice, I had every good cookie and yet I still had to think about who I should use and who I should replace. Nowadays I just have like, 1-3 teams I throw at everything and win almost every time. Speed comp with Pinecone trivializes stun-able enemies. Throw in moonlight or black Pearl with her magic candy or whatever it’s called and you basically win everything. The game needs to find a way to balance all of this instead of just adding more and more powerful cookies. It’s almost hit a point where it’s literally impossible to add more op cookies, because then what do you do for story modes? For people who don’t have op cookies? You can always add a easy mode, but that’s kind of a cheap way that just sidesteps all the problems I mentioned here instead of actually solving any of them. I still love CRK and want to go back to it desperately, but they are making it harder and harder for a returning player. I really want to explore black pearls story but I can’t bring myself to when from what I’ve played it’s just throwing the same 2 teams at every level. I could be wrong about that, it could get harder, but I just seriously cannot get to that part because of how boring it would be to get there. I might get back into it soon, I really want to, but I also really doubt it.

Oh wow... Your story kinda hits hard. I started playing since Tea Knight Cookie and Guild updates because my friends introduce me the game and it's fun. Well, they aren't wrong, it's so fun to the point I played like hours a day and would be motivated to collect all of the cookies. My fav "cringey" memory from CRK is back then I would simp on Hollyberry Cookie and made AUs of her and even ship her with Pitaya Dragon. Sea Fairy is also one of my fav and I ship her with Moonlight, too. When Black Pearl came out, I became a huge fan of her and she's my top 1 cookie of all time, and I also made theories of who could've betrayed her (back then before White Pearl came). I even watch a lot of CRK content and I draw CRK fan art everytime. The cake shop game during Christmas is my fav update, too. It was all fun until City of Wizards update, I find the story getting bland and boring. No words can express my anger for CRK when the Stardust banner came out, and the pity system was changed forever. I took a long hiatus and I finally made the decision to delete CRK a few months ago. It made me disappointed because who knows a once beloved game would end up in a complete p2w disaster? DevSis, you can do better

I can relate I started playing when dark choco had a banner and while I never did get an issue with super epics as I grinned alot 12 hours I got multiple copies of them but it got too unhealthy I left I am happy now😂

I agree with you, I can't believe how many people think its going down hill. I think arena is fine tho? I've been playing for like 1.5 years and I'm getting to master 2/3 every season, I think that's a nice result, I don't need more gems, they're also available from alliance and guild battles

I love you 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

sorry, kinda lost it, im just glad someone agrees with me.

Idk if decreasing is the word, but it certainly has burned out a lot of us or just became unenjoyable Believe me, I played for 2 years, there's even a photo of me playing while donating blood, I was obsessed with the game It came to a point in which I wasn't having fun anymore, and felt like I was falling behing Yeah, arena has always been pay to win, but Devsisters have only made it easier and easier to do so I think I quit after a bug expelled me from a guild I was the Leader of, having previously realized that even me, the most powerful by far of the guild, couldn't do anything to the new guild's boss Feeling powerless wasn't cool at all, honestly, what was the point of spending that much time in the game anymore? I just gave up for good after spending God knows how many hours Sorry for the long rant, I just wanted to explain why I feel like that about the game I still love a lot of stuff in it, but I just didn't feel good playing anymore

No way 😭😭

sheesh , that's really sad

i was so pissed about it too. Like im working to get black pearl and sea fairy, but i had to have sea fairy to advance in the quest?!?!?! are they insane?

@@star_is_g i'm glad i started playing earlier tbh, wish u luck getting both cookies tho and hope that the second part of the update releases more quests with the crystals

@@ClumsyYT i need to finish 2 more quests, brought like 3k worth of this crystals with real money and still need 5k to reach the pity

there's too many things the Devs are working on at once if i'm being honest

@@ClumsyYT Facts, they announced, too much for themselves to handle.

this speaks for all f2p's out there and i hope devs listen to our voice

I agree to your statement but i aint readin allat

😝

it's also hard to catch up as a f2p considering the speed of everything

Can you switch serves if your already on another server? I’m on hollyberry but I’m so weak lol

same here and it's getting really damn stale

[edit] I miss commenting on your videos lol

reminds me of how much I used to hate the ol' Epics meta... LOL I was totally clueless about what was coming next :(

tiktok ruins everything , hm?

they're probs not gonna do a rerun of collabs but it'll be interesting though

Well of course ever since genshin impact players joined they stopped

OH C'MON KOREA!!

of course because it's gambling , this is a gacha game after all

I don't get it. The old super epic banner format was much more f2p compared to what we have and you didn't even have to spend a ton of money to get the cookie you want. Am I missing out on a lot of things or are Korea's laws really that strict?

What law change ? I was actually fine with the old one, I was able to get sherbet cookie twice because guarantee was a thing, why did they change it ?

you have my respect for doing that as a f2p

same tbh, Elite 2 rn on PV server (f2p) and the meta might seem overwhelming for newcomers and so, but it's really easy to keep up if you've been playing for some time lately... yeah, getting lucky is kinda tough but it's been a lot of time since BP, Tea Knight and Hollyberry Cookie were released, the same can't be said 'bout Moonlight and Stardust/Sherbet tho but still pretty fine LOL... also the ascension buffs are pretty trash imo, I don't see how much OP they're and my cookies aren't that much ascended (PS: I've been through a lot of battles against teams w/ ascended cookies) tl;dr: the current meta is okay, not that bad

when genshin plays fine but crk doesn't you know something is up

Omg yes! Summer soda and the triple cone cup were such uneventful stories. It's weird they even got a super epic for such mediocre writing. Though I will argue that I take mermaid tale is atleast fun and ties back to a previous event (oyster cookie's dream back in the slumbering moon season) A reason why the story might feel slow is because you can't rush actual progress anymore. With the stupid time-based quill system you can only clear 3 levels max in the newer stories. That's only one single line of dialog per day

istarted playing crk since parfaits banner , and then quit at sherberts banner all the way uptil now and im missing 6 cookies :,(

what? that's absurd

Crimson coral is straight hell...

@@alexanderbeersymoreno5821 at least now she's less dominant, Fettucinne (sp?), Burnt Cheese and Financier are now more meta, and Yeti Cookie managed to make her worthless to use in Snow/Frost comps

oh it’s not just you i had a hard time even getting peppermint cookie to 3 stars for the quest and i constantly have a stock of at least 100k+ gems, they took out a huge chunk ngl…

it's hard to keep up

yeah , it's a shame and thanks!

it didn't have the same charm persay and thank you!

Jup. That system has been around since Frost Queen

​@@aniflowers1998I mean it been fine with legendary and ancients but super epics nahh...

me too

I agree with all of this. most of all the magic candy because it felt like a lazy way to buff cookies while earning a little more cash

My iPad heats up so much with crk but Genshin runs perfectly. Genshin has never crashed but crk crashes every time I play it.
