Yes, the kingdom is cashgrab for some time already. First, they took away cookie interaction decors (mostly only free decors are product placement, even Strawberry Crepe Cafe!). Then this sugar rock and pay walled statue (when even golden cheese raid gave a great landmark, which encouraged replayability of the game for me). Third, haven't you noticed how useless overall most recent epics are, not talking about how Caramel Choux and Street Urchin are useless for all modes. My arena team has no epics. And now that I hoped until the release of patchnote that Dark Cacao will receive the soul gem like Black Pearl. But not a separate character. I guess only good stuff for me in that update is story and Peach Blossom. Overall, kingdom becomes too hard to play modes like raids and even dark story mode, alliance too

I’m convinced that after the Black Pearl update, Devsisters has become more and more greedy, it ruined Kingdom, like really, I wish that legendary never existed. I thought paywalled decors and mystic costumes were bad but I never thought that they would literally make two versions of the same character, making the older version practically useless, like seriously, did no one at Devsisters think this was a stupid idea and that people will hate it? This hurts even more since Dark Cacao is my favorite ancient, what have they done to my king… That aside though, Ovenbreak’s new update looks way better, I love music cookies. Anyways great video as always Sofie ✨
Unfortunately not a lot of people play ovenbreak anymore soo all their focus for stuff goes to the more popular game crk That’s why they are getting so p2w
Unfortunately this is what they do in most gacha games. Not buffing the outdated character but releasing a new shining op version. It was still a miracle that it happens so late in the game's lifespan
Really wish this was JUST a legendary costume, the most we all thought they would do is add a magic candy for Cacao. I don't think (most of) everyone was prepared to see Dark Cacao but p2w 😭💀
i hope new dark cacao isn’t a whole different unit from regular cacao, but it would be rlly funny to have two dark cacaos running around in your kingdom lol edit: i saw the patch notes and um. two different dark cacao cookies! arena's gonna be pretty fun!!! not gonna lie kinda honkai-esque except for the fact you can’t put them in the same team
I don't think that's what gonna happen cause he did transform from base form to this form it'd probably be another form you can get from gacha??? or when you get soul jam he'll transform into that form . cause it's still a crystal jam after all

c'mon .you can even compete in crob if you are old enough in the game to have most epics maxed out (and maybe some legendary treasures here and there since they're f2p to some degree)crk is just pure hell at this point with constant powercreep and absurd events
That would be unlikely to happen, as Stormbringer’s costume banner ends when the update releases, as well as possibly delaying other costume banners, such as the possible 2023 Cookie of the Year Costumes.
I honestly don't understand why they won't just release a crystal jam tbh. Like sure Ancient+ Cacao probably exists for lore reasons but STILL it's not that hard to make an ancient variant of magic candies that comes with a free costume when you upgrade it like??? BRO this is what I mean when I say Studio Kingdom succeeds at writing and fails at gameplay, IT'S NOT THAT HARD TO REHASH AN EXISTING FEATURE WITH EXTRA STEPS, who in their right minds would look at this and go "omg ancient plus so cool!!!" like whyyyy💀 Update: FUUUUUUUUCK

Its just so weird to do this stupid “ancient+” seperate gacha rarity when we JUST got Beast which is cool, but we have all the ancients and legendaries, and only ONE DRAGON still. This shouldve just been a crystal jam, we havent gotten a new crystal jam in ages and those still need an update too like ENOUGH new shit flesh out whats already HERE!!
i predicted they would use the same ascension way as mystic flour, and i think the data leakers proved it would be a new rarity, but why did they call it “ancient+”. god the ancients and legendaries and the dragons and defiantly the super epic (that rarity was MADE for whales) were mostly for whales, but god the beast and ancient+ guys are for the blue whales 😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@snackyberrycan confirm this too, I managed to easily max out Pitaya Dragon’s new legendary pet because of the easy 10,000 crystals per week I get from the gem exchange center (I’m also kind of rich in the gems as well) if you do a lot in the game to get many gems, it’s surprisingly not that hard to level legendary pets up if you get crystals enough for it (or just use legendary potions if you have em)

i'm personally not a kingdom player, i mainly play ovenbreak as i find kingdom to be quite boring to play (lol), but oh my god?? what is going on over there?? it really doesn't make sense for them to make dragon lord dark cacao as a completely seperate character instead of just having it as a costume. wouldn't it be easier to create a costume for an already existing character instead of having to recreate everything all over again just for it to be literally the same character? lol. anyways, that's all i really have to say. i think we should have a counter for how many bad updates devsis makes in a year..
It’s very sad seeing that Dark Cacao cookie’s The Awaken Form is Separate from the Ancient Dark Cacao Cookie that we have is the same as Mystic Flour Cookie as you promote Her you get accessories from the back of her and this will go the same with Dark Cacao but is Awaken Form (I’m Not Disappointed or upset with this but lots of ogs or people will be disappointed) but crk is probably running out of Rarity Ideas and other things to give it a new role they could have made Dark Cacao Cookie better or make a soul crystal jam but they decided to go with making a separate. (But I’ll still love Crk No matter What Happens.
They could’ve made the dragon lord dark cacao to a costume, we don’t need 2 dark cacaos we don’t need the same character but with a different uniform and ancient +? WE DONT NEED MORE RARITY IDEAS LIKEEEE DAMN
Agree, like bro when moonlight cookie got that power she was looking so much different, and they made it a legendary costume! But dark cacao cookie…awakened…ancient something…..not a legendary costume? I’m dying
while yes, awakened and regular dark cacao being separate would be one of the worst things to happen, on the plus side, we can have an Undertale: Time Paradox moment with this
Personally I do love the awaken dark cacao the design goes so well with him The new rarity’s name is kinda weird I like awaken better it feels better to say but really aren’t people gonna stop complaining about the new rarity once the update comes out cause didn’t many people complain about the many other new rarity’s but completely forgot all about the hate for them And no one has to spend so much on a mobile game for cookies either free or pay which ever you do no one will mind it’s still a game at the end of the day But yeah I do think there should be a new system to get cookies MUCH more easier like they did with ovenbreak and witch’s castle
My Dark Cacao was already maxxed ready for the new update just to see what you need to roll ANOTHER never gacha to get ANOTHER cacao.... cocky greedy devs watch out
As a former whale for TH-cam videos and stuff like that, I can confirm that kingdom has made it less fun and I have spent much less now because I’ve pretty much given up lol
My breaking point was all the way back when they did the Moonlight Kingdom cookie release boogaloo. That and the newly implemented pity system. I'm so done with the F2P/P2W grind in games now. It literally makes me want to gag now. Bring back actual fun for once, developers...
Generally they could of made it a crystal jam for this, but there money hungry mfs wanted not, made a whole new rairty, 2 whole rairtys in a whole update it self (counting all the beast yest 3-4 update as one huge one(
Good thing the update got delayed and the ancient plus rarity has been removed and replaced with the new awakening system. It should make it much easier because you can get the stones by logging into the game on certain days.
personally, i feel like crk isn’t as fun anymore, the new stuff like beast yeast and like the new costumes (all that stuff, new tower of chaos too, i can’t remember the other stuff but yeah) are just like,,not it. maybe it’s just me bc i don’t like change? like too much change..i feel like the new gold costumes and all are just..lame…and this just is like…stupid too.
there’s a lot more points that i forgot to make since I have a bad memory 😭 but like it’s just mainly abt how I just miss the old crk and stuff (i mean i’ve only been playing for maybe 1 or 2 years, but you get what i mean)
Atleast with March shes free and has different mechanics, with Dan Heng he has the aoe / skill point thing, from what i’m seeing dark cacao pro max is just “dark cacao + better stats”
I mean the main difference is that you got the first Dan Heng for free, not to mention that while not as good as Il 4 star Dan Heng is still a pretty good 4 star. What crk is doing is just completely making a character that most people spent money on completely worthless@@azureempyrean64
This is why I prefer crob then crk.. like what the fuck do we need a other rarity we didn't even ask for another dam. Rarity. Stop making us suffer devsis with that bullcrap 😡
I honestly thought that ancient+ was something that could be unlocked after after you ascend him(1A) and then unlock the costume or get a new appearance after 2A like mystic flour. If this is an entirely new cookie then I leveled him up to lvl 80 for what? I could've used all those star jellies and skill powders to invest in a different cookie 😭
If this is true, I think I might reconsider if I should keep playing kingdom for the most part. I play all three (CROB, CRK, and CRWC) but play kingdom the most. Might have to switch to mainly CROB for fun and CRWC for lore. So sad CRK is turning more P2W, and I’m losing that fun it had playing events. Plz devsis, don’t make it a whole separate cookie and just make it a soul/crystal jam (prolly won’t since it is now confirmed by leaks but still)
And let's not start by saying that they removed the ARENA DECORS and EVERYONE seems okay with it, what happened to this game? It feels so soulless and everything feels like a paywall bro.
I feel like awaken ancients (I refuse to call them ancient plus) should be like upgrades, like magic candy but you have to meet certain requirements to unlock them, it would still feel like bull but it’s a lot better than whatever this is
Why not just do like the Sdorica Skill book style, where instead of a whole new separate unit, is just a reskin with changes to skill to help them suit an alternative playstyle? Like an Armor Breaker becoming a True Damager, but toggleable. Changing a skill slightly so they do more damage to a specific type of enemy, but less to another. That type of thing, if they so badly want to do something new. Dark Cacao 2: Electric Boogaloo is just stupid.
And here I am without having gotten Mystic Flour until now and they are already launching another banner......i love this game💀 I remember that when I was pulling for White Lily she only came in pity 250........DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO GET A COOKIE BUT HAVE TO GET IN THE MAXIMUM PITY?!💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
@@An0th3r_000 omg I thought I was the only one unlocky 😔 I got mad seeing people commenting things like "skill issueee, I got her on my first 10 pull 😍😍" like stfu this banner is a shit- It's been PURE HELL to compete with mystic flours in arena, AND NOW THIS???? THIS?????
@@Margaritaacute I can imagine people using Dragon Lord Dark Cacao and Mystic Flour in the same team💀💀💀💀💀Just imagine how powerfull those two together will be......😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@An0th3r_000 OMG NOOOOO 😭😭😭😭 another painful time in arena- I'm struggling to keep in Master 1 (last season I got to Elite 4 but now I can't barely stay there because EVERYONE EXPECT ME have mystic flour), I can't even imagine the pain to even get to masters after this update. Not even Genshin is that bad, and Genshin rewards are SHITTY
Their official discord has been going insane for the past 2 days in the kingdom feedback channel it has just been massive amounts of people talking about the same issue in paragraphs but in different words
I played this game since Cotton Cookie’s update and although I deleted the game around Black Pearl’s backstory update. Got the game again around white lilie’s update and deleted it. I can confirm CRK has gonna insane on being P2W really ever since 2024 mostly. Now rarely I see epics in arena and now a bait team is barely as powerful then an average F2P team. It’s honestly really sad. When playing CRK I loved it because I can get far into the game and arena because it was so F2P now when I used to play it in 2024. I had rarely any enjoyment. Trying to get all the cookies and they were super epics, dragons, etc. To be honest I thought when they released the beast cookies or whatever they are called is so they could get more money. When I heard about it. I felt so confused because it just got thrown out of nowhere and I felt like it was just to get more money ngl.
And i wanted to save stuff up for the pink beast cookie..(forgot her name) but with this monstrosity of an update..i might just quit and sell my account
I spent so much for mystic flour… I’m at 650 pulls with no copies besides the pity ones. I’m not even a true money spender but I’ve probably spent over $200 on the past 4 updates for all of my cookies to be trash. Barely any stars on White Lily- Mystic flour. It’s the way my Elder fairy only has 1 star even though I bought the pass and other things (stormbringer too). They made the mystic costume such a hassle too since they’re being cheap asf with the pins. They add bs items to the packs to mark up the price. They need to trust me when I say anyone who is tryna buy a package for pins does not need 300,000 coins. This is blatantly a money grab.
I had a dream where i said to myself that this game is using good stuff (login bonuses, tons of free diamonds, ecc...) to distract from the bad stuff (this and somthing else, i havent played in 2 years or so), so after that dream it all clicked together
I’m gonna be saving my judgement until it’s actually released. Never rlly liked being on the “suddenly think of the worst oh this is gonna suck.” Bandwagon.
Sofie, do you think you can release a Discord Server for all of your fans to join? I would like it if you were to, but it’s your decision, so don’t take this proposal as pressure, okay?
two versions of the character is just INSANEEEEEE this should not be tolerated anymore, not even a SINGLE BIT. being compensated is not enough of an excuse to keep playing this game 😭, you’re going to be part of a cycle that WILL slowly get worse and worse, AGAIN. these systems all have one objective and thats to make you spend your actual money on it. once you get what u want theyre gonna add something to counter what they just sold to you and you’re gonna want to buy that counter to stay in meta. its exhausting and just sickening at this point. crk’s not worth atp, if you’re still playing for the lore theres plenty of youtube videos to compensate for that.
Think of it as augment core from hi3. She gets upgraded and a different outfit, but it isn’t a whole different unit. her kit is different than augment-less valkyries, but she is the same valkyrie nonetheless.
I feel so many people haven't even given the update a chance at all. Ancients will still get Crystal Jams, so investing in them isn't a waste at all. And while I think Awakened Dark Cacao will be a separate investment, I don't think they'll be separate from normal Dark Cacao. I feel both normal Ancients and Ancient+ cookies will have uses in the meta.
THIS is why i quit CRK. The overwhelming thought of keeping up with the game makes it so much painful to play and feels like a chore rather than a game. Hearing dark cacao's new form being a completely separate cookie instead of a legendary costume and soul jan really pisses me off. I honestly think CRK needs more critism
I literally only got him from the ancients event I am not going for his awakened form if it’s a different thing my sanity would leave me attempting to get him
My luck for mystic flower cookie was nothing more then pure sadness within my own soul of not even close to getting her in the end by my own PRODUCTIONS. so imagine me seeing the same thing but for this new rarity. I'm gonna go insane, Help @v@
This also means that obtaining all the ancients are pointless now... Just wait for their Ancient+ versions lol. Also, 'Ancient+' is the stupidest rarity name I have ever heard. They should have stayed with 'Ancient' and have the golden border on it.
I haven't spend one single dollar un this game and I will never do it. I have been playing this thing daily since the realse of Frost Queen. I fucking completed the Disney update and that was hell. I have a full ascended Pure vanilla, 3 starts ascended Dark Cacao and 2 starts ascended Holly Berry. I really thought that awaken Dark Cacao was a legendary costume like Lily + a Cristal Jam. What they were thinking doing this update??? I'm really invested in the story and I don't want to leave the game for this situation.
honestly they could've just gave him a soul jam and make a legendary skin.. also if you're able to use both of the dark cacao, imagine the chaos when white lily and golden cheese cookie gets their awakened version 💀
Bruh, I barely got one Mystic Flour Cookie and you’re telling me I have to do the same deal with a brand new Dark Cacao version? This game, as much as I love it, really bums/tires me out.
Me trying to get that one super rare cookie that never come home This is so hard imma saved up and maybe i get lucky for once! Cookie run devs : hey look this new dark cacao cookie just come out! Me : f*ck i barely get OG dark cacao 2/3 star... 😭
The backlash probably wouldn't be so severe if we didn't JUST get the Beast rarity. Given + and The Beasts will eventually go into the standard banners, I'm just not gonna waste the money.
The only things im excited for from this update are Beast Yeast episode 4, Peach Blossom Cookie, and the Big Bao Brawl. Nearly everything else, ESPECIALLY D.L.Dark Cacao's banner and the "Ancient+" nonsense looks p2w and scummy.
You know Kingdom is becoming P2W that even the whales of this 2d cookies running game decided to back out
Devsis going so far that even the P2W went like "oh hell no" seeing this update LOL
That aint Pay to Win thats Pay to Play-
Just ignore the p2w stuff I still like the game

I don’t think it should be. a costume but it would be better if they did like a soul jam thing for the ancients instead of this
I just checked the ratings, and now it's 4.5😭😭😭😭😭
It’s genshin’s first anniversary all over again 😭
(Bad joke?)
Now its 4.4!!
Shi gonna go down to 1.5 ratings 🏃🏃🏃🏃
BRUH IT'S 4.7 WHAT'S HAPPENING
@@JustSomeGuyWhosStuckInYear2021 😭😭😭😭💀🙏
I DON'T EVEN HAVE MYSTIC FLOUR!
FR
Same we might be cooked!!
samee but ngl kinda excited for the new dark cacao cause why not
Same even if you do all the mission you still don’t get enough pulls for a free copy which is B.S.
If we can't get Mystic flour, WE AREN'T GETTING DRAGONLORD DARK CACAO...
Ah, CRK finally competing and becoming like Identity V I see
THIS IS FOUL OH MY GOD 😭😭😭😭😭
@@NillaNotPV am I wrong tho ??
@@Im_Not_OKei no ur not wrong thats what makes it so foul…
IM CRYINGGG
Yep , i still wont delete either app 😔
It’s very sad seeing that Dark Cacao cookie’s The Awaken Form is Separate from the Ancient Dark Cacao Cookie that we have is the same as Mystic Flour Cookie as you promote Her you get accessories from the back of her and this will go the same with Dark Cacao but is Awaken Form (I’m Not Disappointed or upset with this but lots of ogs or people will be disappointed) but crk is probably running out of Rarity Ideas and other things to give it a new role they could have made Dark Cacao Cookie better or make a soul crystal jam but they decided to go with making a separate. (But I’ll still love Crk No matter What Happens.
They could’ve made the dragon lord dark cacao to a costume, we don’t need 2 dark cacaos we don’t need the same character but with a different uniform and ancient +? WE DONT NEED MORE RARITY IDEAS LIKEEEE DAMN
2 new rarities within like 2 major updates💀. It is truly dark cacaover
Agree, like bro when moonlight cookie got that power she was looking so much different, and they made it a legendary costume! But dark cacao cookie…awakened…ancient something…..not a legendary costume? I’m dying
They should a made a soul jam gacha, like it would have been something that you could collect in gacha
while yes, awakened and regular dark cacao being separate would be one of the worst things to happen, on the plus side, we can have an Undertale: Time Paradox moment with this
devsisters think they are supercell 😨 😨
This is why I only play ovenbreak now💀. Like even if Ovenbreak is kinda pay to win at least its not that hard to at least get good cookies.
ovenbreak is so fun and this is so true
IKR
Holy fuck, two eternal sugar cookies
@@azureempyrean64 AINT NO WAY
Personally I do love the awaken dark cacao the design goes so well with him
The new rarity’s name is kinda weird I like awaken better it feels better to say but really aren’t people gonna stop complaining about the new rarity once the update comes out cause didn’t many people complain about the many other new rarity’s but completely forgot all about the hate for them
And no one has to spend so much on a mobile game for cookies either free or pay which ever you do no one will mind it’s still a game at the end of the day
But yeah I do think there should be a new system to get cookies MUCH more easier like they did with ovenbreak and witch’s castle
Me seeing my favorite cookie getting a buff: *pure happiness*
Also me seeing that its a separate cookie: *Wtf*
That also means their leaving the OG ancients abandoned with no future buff just sitting their abandon just like sonic and tail cookie
watch him become mystic flour 2.0 where you literally cannot win against teams with him
My Dark Cacao was already maxxed ready for the new update just to see what you need to roll ANOTHER never gacha to get ANOTHER cacao.... cocky greedy devs watch out
As a former whale for TH-cam videos and stuff like that, I can confirm that kingdom has made it less fun and I have spent much less now because I’ve pretty much given up lol
Ovenbreak on top as always 🗣🗣
Facts 🗣️🗣️🗣️
My breaking point was all the way back when they did the Moonlight Kingdom cookie release boogaloo. That and the newly implemented pity system. I'm so done with the F2P/P2W grind in games now. It literally makes me want to gag now. Bring back actual fun for once, developers...
someone play the titanic music, cuz this ship is going down
Are we going to blame Dark Pearl Cookie for the sinking ship?
Generally they could of made it a crystal jam for this, but there money hungry mfs wanted not, made a whole new rairty, 2 whole rairtys in a whole update it self (counting all the beast yest 3-4 update as one huge one(
Being here for the lore is just amazing.. The story is the best part of crk.. But like arena is gonna be in SHAMBLESSSS
It’s In shambles whenever a new cookie is released anyways so it wouldn’t be too much of a difference in my eyes.
Good thing the update got delayed and the ancient plus rarity has been removed and replaced with the new awakening system. It should make it much easier because you can get the stones by logging into the game on certain days.
Screw you kingdom I'm going back to Ovenbreak. My Timekeeper misses me.
my maxed out wind archer misses me 😭
wonder how things are gonna progress 🫢
They should've put the new rarity or something named "Awaken" because he like awaken a new power and a magical girl transformation
personally, i feel like crk isn’t as fun anymore, the new stuff like beast yeast and like the new costumes (all that stuff, new tower of chaos too, i can’t remember the other stuff but yeah) are just like,,not it. maybe it’s just me bc i don’t like change? like too much change..i feel like the new gold costumes and all are just..lame…and this just is like…stupid too.
there’s a lot more points that i forgot to make since I have a bad memory 😭 but like it’s just mainly abt how I just miss the old crk and stuff (i mean i’ve only been playing for maybe 1 or 2 years, but you get what i mean)
It's like the Dan Heng thing from Honkai star rail
Or March's new Hunt path
Atleast with March shes free and has different mechanics, with Dan Heng he has the aoe / skill point thing, from what i’m seeing dark cacao pro max is just “dark cacao + better stats”
@@silliestgooberintheworldDan Heng • IL but P2W edition
I mean the main difference is that you got the first Dan Heng for free, not to mention that while not as good as Il
4 star Dan Heng is still a pretty good 4 star.
What crk is doing is just completely making a character that most people spent money on completely worthless@@azureempyrean64
@@azureempyrean64 lmaooo so real
"Battle Cats more superior than CRK when Whaling is optional route as accelerating progress, not instant progress and advantage"
PONOS generates income from japanese whales, high-quality collabs and merchandises
Battle cats was always better tbh
This is why I prefer crob then crk.. like what the fuck do we need a other rarity we didn't even ask for another dam. Rarity. Stop making us suffer devsis with that bullcrap 😡
same here
Like try
I honestly thought that ancient+ was something that could be unlocked after after you ascend him(1A) and then unlock the costume or get a new appearance after 2A like mystic flour.
If this is an entirely new cookie then I leveled him up to lvl 80 for what? I could've used all those star jellies and skill powders to invest in a different cookie 😭
If this is true, I think I might reconsider if I should keep playing kingdom for the most part. I play all three (CROB, CRK, and CRWC) but play kingdom the most. Might have to switch to mainly CROB for fun and CRWC for lore. So sad CRK is turning more P2W, and I’m losing that fun it had playing events. Plz devsis, don’t make it a whole separate cookie and just make it a soul/crystal jam (prolly won’t since it is now confirmed by leaks but still)
And let's not start by saying that they removed the ARENA DECORS and EVERYONE seems okay with it, what happened to this game? It feels so soulless and everything feels like a paywall bro.
I feel like awaken ancients (I refuse to call them ancient plus) should be like upgrades, like magic candy but you have to meet certain requirements to unlock them, it would still feel like bull but it’s a lot better than whatever this is
Why not just do like the Sdorica Skill book style, where instead of a whole new separate unit, is just a reskin with changes to skill to help them suit an alternative playstyle?
Like an Armor Breaker becoming a True Damager, but toggleable. Changing a skill slightly so they do more damage to a specific type of enemy, but less to another. That type of thing, if they so badly want to do something new.
Dark Cacao 2: Electric Boogaloo is just stupid.
And here I am without having gotten Mystic Flour until now and they are already launching another banner......i love this game💀
I remember that when I was pulling for White Lily she only came in pity 250........DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO GET A COOKIE BUT HAVE TO GET IN THE MAXIMUM PITY?!💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
I DID 210 PULLS TIL NOW AND I DIDN'T GOT A SINGLE. FRICKING. COPY. OF MYSTIC FLOUR???? LIKE???? 😭😭😭😭😭 I feel you omg

@@An0th3r_000 omg I thought I was the only one unlocky 😔 I got mad seeing people commenting things like "skill issueee, I got her on my first 10 pull 😍😍" like stfu this banner is a shit-

@@An0th3r_000 OMG NOOOOO 😭😭😭😭 another painful time in arena- I'm struggling to keep in Master 1 (last season I got to Elite 4 but now I can't barely stay there because EVERYONE EXPECT ME have mystic flour), I can't even imagine the pain to even get to masters after this update. Not even Genshin is that bad, and Genshin rewards are SHITTY
They shouldn’t release another dc…
Their official discord has been going insane for the past 2 days in the kingdom feedback channel it has just been massive amounts of people talking about the same issue in paragraphs but in different words
I thought it would be a crystal jam for ancients that change their fit
I played this game since Cotton Cookie’s update and although I deleted the game around Black Pearl’s backstory update. Got the game again around white lilie’s update and deleted it. I can confirm CRK has gonna insane on being P2W really ever since 2024 mostly. Now rarely I see epics in arena and now a bait team is barely as powerful then an average F2P team. It’s honestly really sad. When playing CRK I loved it because I can get far into the game and arena because it was so F2P now when I used to play it in 2024. I had rarely any enjoyment. Trying to get all the cookies and they were super epics, dragons, etc. To be honest I thought when they released the beast cookies or whatever they are called is so they could get more money. When I heard about it. I felt so confused because it just got thrown out of nowhere and I felt like it was just to get more money ngl.
as of last week they cancelled the ancient plus rarity and are just giving dark cacao an "awakening" system, hooray for rioting
They better make the drop chance 50%
I can’t wait for my special ancient plus ++ limited edition omega shining alpha deluxe edition 🔥🔥🔥🔥
And i wanted to save stuff up for the pink beast cookie..(forgot her name) but with this monstrosity of an update..i might just quit and sell my account
I spent so much for mystic flour…
I’m at 650 pulls with no copies besides the pity ones. I’m not even a true money spender but I’ve probably spent over $200 on the past 4 updates for all of my cookies to be trash. Barely any stars on White Lily- Mystic flour. It’s the way my Elder fairy only has 1 star even though I bought the pass and other things (stormbringer too). They made the mystic costume such a hassle too since they’re being cheap asf with the pins. They add bs items to the packs to mark up the price. They need to trust me when I say anyone who is tryna buy a package for pins does not need 300,000 coins. This is blatantly a money grab.
Okay I spend quite a few dollars like at most 50 when a big update comes out but this update has run me dry and I can’t spend anymore
I had a dream where i said to myself that this game is using good stuff (login bonuses, tons of free diamonds, ecc...) to distract from the bad stuff (this and somthing else, i havent played in 2 years or so), so after that dream it all clicked together
I’m gonna be saving my judgement until it’s actually released. Never rlly liked being on the “suddenly think of the worst oh this is gonna suck.” Bandwagon.
It's going to be a seperate banner. The trailer confirms it. 😔
Sofie, do you think you can release a Discord Server for all of your fans to join? I would like it if you were to, but it’s your decision, so don’t take this proposal as pressure, okay?
THEY DECIDED TO POSTPONE THE UPDATE!!
8:35 hehe good music choice!
I remember where crk is still f2p freindly
Those were the early days
2021 was the year when CRK was peak and damn, looking back at it now makes me wonder how I'm still standing as a f2p.
@@JustSomeGuyWhosStuckInYear2021 Yeah
I really hate this update, I hope they backtrack like they did on cookie run ovenbreak when everyone complained about those cards
In the kingdom feedback tab of the CRK discord it used to be i crashed this stop the crashing that. Now its just pure anger over ancient+
"never cook again" ahh update
two versions of the character is just INSANEEEEEE this should not be tolerated anymore, not even a SINGLE BIT. being compensated is not enough of an excuse to keep playing this game 😭, you’re going to be part of a cycle that WILL slowly get worse and worse, AGAIN. these systems all have one objective and thats to make you spend your actual money on it. once you get what u want theyre gonna add something to counter what they just sold to you and you’re gonna want to buy that counter to stay in meta. its exhausting and just sickening at this point. crk’s not worth atp, if you’re still playing for the lore theres plenty of youtube videos to compensate for that.
Think of it as augment core from hi3. She gets upgraded and a different outfit, but it isn’t a whole different unit. her kit is different than augment-less valkyries, but she is the same valkyrie nonetheless.
CROB GAVE NEW PLAYERS ALMOST EVERY LEGENDARY COOKIE AND WE NEED TO PAY 700$ DOLLARS FOR 1 COOKIE IN CRK...
Literally
REAL LMFAO
instead of optimizing the game and making it more stable so it doesn't crash constantly every new update... they do this shit
We got the cacao buff, but at what cost..
first the biscuits thingy and now this??? what the hell
I feel so many people haven't even given the update a chance at all. Ancients will still get Crystal Jams, so investing in them isn't a waste at all. And while I think Awakened Dark Cacao will be a separate investment, I don't think they'll be separate from normal Dark Cacao. I feel both normal Ancients and Ancient+ cookies will have uses in the meta.
THIS is why i quit CRK.
The overwhelming thought of keeping up with the game makes it so much painful to play and feels like a chore rather than a game. Hearing dark cacao's new form being a completely separate cookie instead of a legendary costume and soul jan really pisses me off. I honestly think CRK needs more critism
I literally only got him from the ancients event I am not going for his awakened form if it’s a different thing my sanity would leave me attempting to get him
My luck for mystic flower cookie was nothing more then pure sadness within my own soul of not even close to getting her in the end by my own PRODUCTIONS.
so imagine me seeing the same thing but for this new rarity.
I'm gonna go insane, Help @v@
As F2P idc abt the ancient plus, i just wanted the new male cookie to be super epic like please! idc if it's a third banner!
This also means that obtaining all the ancients are pointless now... Just wait for their Ancient+ versions lol.
Also, 'Ancient+' is the stupidest rarity name I have ever heard. They should have stayed with 'Ancient' and have the golden border on it.
I haven't spend one single dollar un this game and I will never do it. I have been playing this thing daily since the realse of Frost Queen. I fucking completed the Disney update and that was hell. I have a full ascended Pure vanilla, 3 starts ascended Dark Cacao and 2 starts ascended Holly Berry. I really thought that awaken Dark Cacao was a legendary costume like Lily + a Cristal Jam. What they were thinking doing this update??? I'm really invested in the story and I don't want to leave the game for this situation.
I cant even found mystic flour and now even a new ancient?....i got all the cookies exepct mystic flour help
honestly they could've just gave him a soul jam and make a legendary skin.. also if you're able to use both of the dark cacao, imagine the chaos when white lily and golden cheese cookie gets their awakened version 💀
Bruh, I barely got one Mystic Flour Cookie and you’re telling me I have to do the same deal with a brand new Dark Cacao version? This game, as much as I love it, really bums/tires me out.
Me trying to get that one super rare cookie that never come home
This is so hard imma saved up and maybe i get lucky for once!
Cookie run devs : hey look this new dark cacao cookie just come out!
Me : f*ck i barely get OG dark cacao 2/3 star... 😭
Dude, it took me 8 months to get Crimson Coral Cookie through soulstones... 😶
The backlash probably wouldn't be so severe if we didn't JUST get the Beast rarity. Given + and The Beasts will eventually go into the standard banners, I'm just not gonna waste the money.
The only things im excited for from this update are Beast Yeast episode 4, Peach Blossom Cookie, and the Big Bao Brawl. Nearly everything else, ESPECIALLY D.L.Dark Cacao's banner and the "Ancient+" nonsense looks p2w and scummy.
3:56 "Whales are gay-" caught in 4k!!/jk
5:46 Honestly I'm just here for the lore too😂🔥
I hope everyone is happy after update drops (I will be and forever????)
I quit at the bts even cause i got game burn out, seeing the state of the game is sad
