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).

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 Not buffing the outdated character but releasing a new shining op version.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
Devsis becoming more greedy as time passes is so ironic because of the current story of the beasts becoming corrupted over time. Devsis secretly the 6th beast cookie confirmed??
Legit, the mobile gaming landscape looks and sounds like absolute hell. Doesn't matter if a game starts off decently, they can and WILL inevitably fall into pit of overtuned microtransactions which ultimately makes the game unfun to play if you mind paying exorbitant amounts of money on a phone game. Whether it be Cookie Run, any and every Gacha game, and especially SUPERCELL, it seems like mobile gaming's on it's way towards a crash.
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

Hi Sofie no Sleep, Devsisters have responded in Discord. Good News, the update got postponed and they will working to make everything better for the next update. They listened to the community now. Anyways, keep up the good work! 👍
@@SofienoSleepYou're welcome. You are one of the voices of the community, just like Hyrool, Cuptinice, Dreakt, Yeon, ND Runner, Chateaw and others. A lot of people admire you including me for your effort and dedication of the game. It's really nice to see CRK youtubers get along with a common goal or purpose as voices of the community.
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
@@Felix-ke7yfeven super epics were alright before. Apparently they no ponger do the fun gacha and now its just a pity marker... (I lost my progress right after black pearl)
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'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..
@@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)
Yall the towers PISSED ME OFFAAA, like are you kidding me rn? I can’t even beat the first level on the dark cake tower shi, HOW TF..and the old rewards from the older cake tower was removed!! This may not be a newer update cuz I haven’t played in a few months, but I am maaaaaad about the towers bro
after black pearl the game went down hill especially the anniversary and moonlight cookie that event where you were forced to get her to get all the rewards was just crazy and tragic i quit the game after that i couldnt do it anymore
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)
I returned a couple months ago for White Lily Cookie, left the moment the best rarity popped up. This is really frustrating. I'm glad theres channels out there who record the stories and upload them becuase idk if I could survive with this mess!
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 😭😭😭😭😭😭
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
the only funny update this year in my opinion was town square, it was genuinely cool being able to interact with other people as your favorite cookie and make goofy moments
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
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 UA-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
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(
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...
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 😭
Dont forget nowadays most players can't sign inside the game its "glitched", that's how bad it is. Plus they didnt brought Sonic Cookie back in July? Hello? His bday passed??? Atleast he should be free for those who don't have him (and Tails.) I've been trying for weeks and the game keeps saying "you can't use an account that was deleted, you have to wait 30 days." I didn't delete any account, and if i try to use the method i used to get in it doesnt work.
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 don't get it I'm ftp and I have no problem with the game whatsoever, I have almost all the cookies and built the cookies pretty good sure sometimes I get shafted but oh well what am I going to do its a gatcha game afterall, and also devsisters have been generous as well so I don't understand why there's so much backlash, also I'm laughing when people found out its the same cookie (just an awakening) not a separate unit lmao it feels mostly like the community is trying to cope for either not being lucky or just being bad at the game (skill issue I guess lmao), and also on top of it I haven't seen whales or ftp talk badly about the updates.
Besides it's guaranteed pull after so many, and as a casual f2p player too it's not hard to get there as long as you play consistently it's not like we have an impossible time limit 😭. People are acting like we need to have a 5 star ascended DC to awaken him lol it's not even that bad. Other games have done separate units that are insanely more powerful than their past one(s), and I don't see them getting backlash. This is really the only video I've seen complain on this update lmao, everyone else is happy for another beast yeast chapter and that DC got the buff he's needed and deserved for a while. The only thing I ACTUALLY hold against devsis is the fact that their Chinese server got a Frost Queen outfit 💀
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)
I’m a free to play for the most part and started slowing down playing around a couple of updates ago cause I struggled way too much to keep up And seeing the state of the game now??? Yikes
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
While I’m happy they at least listened and made it NOT a separate cookie Update was disappointing for me because there was not nearly enough of Dark Choco Cookie
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.
Cannot emphasize enough how happy I am to see this game sinking after I jumped ship After having to fight for my life when Dark Cacao Cookie came out the first time to get him, it’s so comical to see this man coming back as an even higher rarity
FR. And people seem to just don't care. Whole CRK subreddit is filled with microtransaction supporters, and ones that will shout at you whole paragraph that ALL gacha games are p2w and that devsis isn't greedy or anything (Lmao even Hoyoverse added pity to Genshin (at the beginning of game's existence)) when you try to call out devsis for their ugly p2wining the game even worse each update.
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.
with the game being really unoptimized and crashing for a lot of people, now adding in this update to the mix, i think kingdoms cooked here if they dont fix this mess I havent really dealt with the crashing at all, but I HAVE dealt with horrible luck [gc, wl, and hell even mystic flour have taken me more than 150 pulls and ive literally grinded out all but 3 missions on the light of apathy event] i might see if my luck turns around but i highly doubt ill even have the motivation for kingdom. At least tower of adventures is almost here... It just feels tiring going after the new meta cookies, especially when you have really well leveled cookies and they cant be used because they're not in the meta. (especially sea fairy, who i thought was going to be in meta after her crystal jam update....nope) tldr: kingdom's screwed, honestly. esp with how horribly unoptimized the game is already. a shame we once had a really good game that fell to shambles to its greed.
To make matters worse: I dont even have mystic flour yet. She's at 170 pity. The event isn't enough to guarantee you her. What happened to the game I loved when it first came out?
As a free player I wish it was easier but I got dark cacao for free and the new update is easier than the mystic flour update and and you get it in less pulls
Everyone’s mad at devsisters for this update. I’m mad at them for not putting any ovenbreak characters into kingdom to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the franchise. We are not the same.
I first play this game when it came out and it was so generous back then, even people praised it saying its better than genshin, now i havent even touch this game or even see any content related to this game anymore for like maybe 2 years? Since it came out and now i found this… and just shocked at what they’ve become now… its crazy to think that theres lots of new stuff, like ancient and super epic
I used to be really into cookie run a few years ago, but I left both oven break and kingdom after the NFT things devsis was doing. I haven't been keeping up with anything they were doing after that, but it's really a shame to see the state kingdom is in these days...
I kinda stoped playing Kingdom after they took out the option to play in portuguese bc i used to play with my friends and they don't speak English so i am soooooo lost rn
like fr why are they giving me a cheap copy of dc plus i have dc's epic costume and as soon as i awaken him what happens like? do i just have a useless costume for dc? and what about my 3 normal stars to dc? do they just disappear and get replaced by those cheap star A copies? likeeeee helppp
I'm so glad they turned it into a soul prism thing 😭 the patch notes say that since they rushed to change DC into the soul prism thing so the stars still serve purpose, they'll be adding the furnishing interactions and costume changes in the next updates
Honestly i dont get the backlash, there were already a DOZEN updates that were worse than this. If people didnt want devsisters to push this p2w style , Making them actively lose money (mainly talking about the lawsuit) is just gonna achieve the opposite
What's crazy to me is to hear Devsis getting flamed for being greedy. Because I'm pretty sure Devsis was getting praised for being generous back during CRK's release, when Sea Fairy was the only legendary. Like just how bad did it escalate throughout the years
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.
As someone who played crk since day 1 and was f2p since then (DrWhoCookie used to be my username) I quit when mystic flour came out cuz I was so fed up with grinding boring repetitive quests for the 50th time all to get a cookie that'll either be mid or meta for a month And what a shock, mystic flour became meta everywhere, and my problem is how she is required, my a5 snapdragon, parfait and rockstar? Useless, my 5* pure vanilla? Who cares Genuinely felt demotivated after that I quit, and devs couldn't give 2 skunks about f2p players, they just give out pity rewards to soothe the community who is somehow falling for it, like a mule following a carrot
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.
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

Anyways, keep up the good work! 👍
Thank you for the update Info Tools, I've already made a short about it to inform others as well.
Thank you for your comment!
@@SofienoSleepYou're welcome. You are one of the voices of the community, just like Hyrool, Cuptinice, Dreakt, Yeon, ND Runner, Chateaw and others.
A lot of people admire you including me for your effort and dedication of the game.
It's really nice to see CRK youtubers get along with a common goal or purpose as voices of the community.
Kakao: peak f2p
Crob: f2p if you don't care about competitive
Cw: died With shadow nerfs and p2w
Puzzle world: peak f2p
Crk: HELL
crwc : Eh?
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
I don't know how puzzle world still exists at this point.
Heck even Kakao still exist to this today after long time dead revived back
crwc is basically p2p atp 😭
Now with Crtoa lol
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.
@@LordXsLittleSwine Yeah
It was so good back then when it was just ancients and legendaries. You can actually get everything in the game if you grind for it
@@Felix-ke7yfeven super epics were alright before. Apparently they no ponger do the fun gacha and now its just a pity marker... (I lost my progress right after black pearl)
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'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..
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
CROB: no money (excluding that s9 thing...)
CRKD: A L L T H E M O N E H ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
As a proud CROB player, I confirm the game is REALLY f2p
YEAH
@@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)
checked the crob sneek peak and...
kingdom is so joever
@@dejesusramirezjavier5834 frfr
Yall the towers PISSED ME OFFAAA, like are you kidding me rn? I can’t even beat the first level on the dark cake tower shi, HOW TF..and the old rewards from the older cake tower was removed!! This may not be a newer update cuz I haven’t played in a few months, but I am maaaaaad about the towers bro
after black pearl the game went down hill
especially the anniversary and moonlight cookie that event where you were forced to get her to get all the rewards was just crazy and tragic
i quit the game after that i couldnt do it anymore
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)
I returned a couple months ago for White Lily Cookie, left the moment the best rarity popped up. This is really frustrating. I'm glad theres channels out there who record the stories and upload them becuase idk if I could survive with this mess!
Players: I hope we get a good update for once-
Devsisters: LET'S MAKE ANOTHER DARK CACAO COOKIE
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.
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
@@LordXsLittleSwine 😭😭😭😭💀🙏
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 😭😭😭😭😭😭
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
Old crob was so much better before they completely changed the gacha but it’s still way better than crk will ever be
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...
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
2 new rarities within like 2 major updates💀. It is truly dark cacaover
Ah, CRK finally competing and becoming like Identity V I see
THIS IS FOUL OH MY GOD 😭😭😭😭😭
@@harusbasement 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
"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
Screw you kingdom I'm going back to Ovenbreak. My Timekeeper misses me.
my maxed out wind archer misses me 😭
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
I can’t wait for my special ancient plus ++ limited edition omega shining alpha deluxe edition 🔥🔥🔥🔥
aaawww i really like cookie kingdom TT
why are they doing this, i just want cute cookies
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.
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.
They should a made a soul jam gacha, like it would have been something that you could collect in gacha
I dropped both this game and first cookie run years ago, and now I accidentally stumbled upon this video. No regrets at all
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
That also means their leaving the OG ancients abandoned with no future buff just sitting their abandon just like sonic and tail cookie
the only funny update this year in my opinion was town square, it was genuinely cool being able to interact with other people as your favorite cookie and make goofy moments
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
someone play the titanic music, cuz this ship is going down
Are we going to blame Dark Pearl Cookie for the sinking ship?
@@challenge9541 probably
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
Me seeing my favorite cookie getting a buff: *pure happiness*
Also me seeing that its a separate cookie: *Wtf*
devsisters think they are supercell 😨 😨
they think theyre mihoyo 😟😟😟
As a former whale for UA-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
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(
Game burned me out months ago. This game was so P2W it’s insane
0:25 Cup of salt? Eww
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...
“Caters more to the people then to the pockets” PREACH SISTER!!!🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️‼️
With every new game cookie run releases the previous one becomes p2w 💀🙏
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 😭
Kinda funny..I remember everyone was running off to Cookie Run from Genshin
Now Cookie Run is more p2w than genshin ever was
close enough welcome back hoyoverse
Heart. This one made me laugh.
Dont forget nowadays most players can't sign inside the game its "glitched", that's how bad it is. Plus they didnt brought Sonic Cookie back in July? Hello? His bday passed??? Atleast he should be free for those who don't have him (and Tails.)
I've been trying for weeks and the game keeps saying "you can't use an account that was deleted, you have to wait 30 days." I didn't delete any account, and if i try to use the method i used to get in it doesnt work.
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 gave up on crk since super epic
I don't get it I'm ftp and I have no problem with the game whatsoever, I have almost all the cookies and built the cookies pretty good sure sometimes I get shafted but oh well what am I going to do its a gatcha game afterall, and also devsisters have been generous as well so I don't understand why there's so much backlash, also I'm laughing when people found out its the same cookie (just an awakening) not a separate unit lmao it feels mostly like the community is trying to cope for either not being lucky or just being bad at the game (skill issue I guess lmao), and also on top of it I haven't seen whales or ftp talk badly about the updates.
Besides it's guaranteed pull after so many, and as a casual f2p player too it's not hard to get there as long as you play consistently it's not like we have an impossible time limit 😭. People are acting like we need to have a 5 star ascended DC to awaken him lol it's not even that bad. Other games have done separate units that are insanely more powerful than their past one(s), and I don't see them getting backlash. This is really the only video I've seen complain on this update lmao, everyone else is happy for another beast yeast chapter and that DC got the buff he's needed and deserved for a while.
The only thing I ACTUALLY hold against devsis is the fact that their Chinese server got a Frost Queen outfit 💀
@@Omirionafrost queen is the goat and pegs all cookies
@@Omiriona i feel you on that hopefully we get it too lmao
They should've put the new rarity or something named "Awaken" because he like awaken a new power and a magical girl transformation
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)
I’m a free to play for the most part and started slowing down playing around a couple of updates ago cause I struggled way too much to keep up
And seeing the state of the game now??? Yikes
We got Peach Blossom Cookie, but at the cost of poor Dark Cacao Cookie's dignity
For one sec i thought she was gonna say
Whales are gay
this situation reminds me of Honkai Impact. Because like, it’s just the same characters, Kiana Kaslana, Raiden Mei, just repeats.
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
While I’m happy they at least listened and made it NOT a separate cookie
Update was disappointing for me because there was not nearly enough of Dark Choco Cookie
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.
AGAIN THEY COULD HAVE USE A COTUME FOR THAT, i like the design but THEY COULD HAVE TURN INTO COTUME!
Cannot emphasize enough how happy I am to see this game sinking after I jumped ship
After having to fight for my life when Dark Cacao Cookie came out the first time to get him, it’s so comical to see this man coming back as an even higher rarity
I quit ages ago cos of the fact there was no pity in the gacha. Its always been p2w.
FR. And people seem to just don't care. Whole CRK subreddit is filled with microtransaction supporters, and ones that will shout at you whole paragraph that ALL gacha games are p2w and that devsis isn't greedy or anything (Lmao even Hoyoverse added pity to Genshin (at the beginning of game's existence)) when you try to call out devsis for their ugly p2wining the game even worse each update.
@@Kamikarus I swear, anyone that pays on crk is bigger than a whale. cos that games just a trashbin for your money.
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.
with the game being really unoptimized and crashing for a lot of people, now adding in this update to the mix, i think kingdoms cooked here if they dont fix this mess
I havent really dealt with the crashing at all, but I HAVE dealt with horrible luck [gc, wl, and hell even mystic flour have taken me more than 150 pulls and ive literally grinded out all but 3 missions on the light of apathy event]
i might see if my luck turns around but i highly doubt ill even have the motivation for kingdom. At least tower of adventures is almost here...
It just feels tiring going after the new meta cookies, especially when you have really well leveled cookies and they cant be used because they're not in the meta. (especially sea fairy, who i thought was going to be in meta after her crystal jam update....nope)
tldr: kingdom's screwed, honestly. esp with how horribly unoptimized the game is already. a shame we once had a really good game that fell to shambles to its greed.
To make matters worse:
I dont even have mystic flour yet. She's at 170 pity.
The event isn't enough to guarantee you her.
What happened to the game I loved when it first came out?
As a free player I wish it was easier but I got dark cacao for free and the new update is easier than the mystic flour update and and you get it in less pulls
Cookie run kingdom is officially dead.
Edit: not really, but this is horrifying, thank lord i stopped playing the game.
Everyone’s mad at devsisters for this update. I’m mad at them for not putting any ovenbreak characters into kingdom to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the franchise. We are not the same.
They shouldn’t release another dc…
3:56 "Whales are gay-" caught in 4k!!/jk
If only they separated P2W players and F2P players in different arena
It's kinda impossible to reach high ranks when P2W players are there
Yeah, real. Higher than Master II it's filled with whales all over the place
I really hate this update, I hope they backtrack like they did on cookie run ovenbreak when everyone complained about those cards
I first play this game when it came out and it was so generous back then, even people praised it saying its better than genshin, now i havent even touch this game or even see any content related to this game anymore for like maybe 2 years? Since it came out and now i found this… and just shocked at what they’ve become now… its crazy to think that theres lots of new stuff, like ancient and super epic
I used to be really into cookie run a few years ago, but I left both oven break and kingdom after the NFT things devsis was doing.
I haven't been keeping up with anything they were doing after that, but it's really a shame to see the state kingdom is in these days...
"never cook again" ahh update
I kinda stoped playing Kingdom after they took out the option to play in portuguese bc i used to play with my friends and they don't speak English so i am soooooo lost rn
Can we all move to ovenbreak pls
i stopped playing cause i lost my data, wtf is goin on in crk
like fr why are they giving me a cheap copy of dc
plus i have dc's epic costume and as soon as i awaken him what happens like? do i just have a useless costume for dc? and what about my 3 normal stars to dc? do they just disappear and get replaced by those cheap star A copies? likeeeee helppp
I'm so glad they turned it into a soul prism thing 😭 the patch notes say that since they rushed to change DC into the soul prism thing so the stars still serve purpose, they'll be adding the furnishing interactions and costume changes in the next updates
Honestly i dont get the backlash, there were already a DOZEN updates that were worse than this.
If people didnt want devsisters to push this p2w style , Making them actively lose money (mainly talking about the lawsuit) is just gonna achieve the opposite
What's crazy to me is to hear Devsis getting flamed for being greedy. Because I'm pretty sure Devsis was getting praised for being generous back during CRK's release, when Sea Fairy was the only legendary. Like just how bad did it escalate throughout the years
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.
As someone who played crk since day 1 and was f2p since then (DrWhoCookie used to be my username)
I quit when mystic flour came out cuz I was so fed up with grinding boring repetitive quests for the 50th time all to get a cookie that'll either be mid or meta for a month
And what a shock, mystic flour became meta everywhere, and my problem is how she is required, my a5 snapdragon, parfait and rockstar? Useless, my 5* pure vanilla? Who cares
Genuinely felt demotivated after that I quit, and devs couldn't give 2 skunks about f2p players, they just give out pity rewards to soothe the community who is somehow falling for it, like a mule following a carrot
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.
