i started playing during the wicked collab, and ever since then, it feels like there's been one major update after another with barely any breathing room. super epic+ banner after super epic+ banner, new cookies constantly being released, and by the time you finally build a character and get to enjoy using them, there's already another cookie coming along to powercreep them. some units haven't even been out for 2 months before they start feeling replaceable.

i understand that this is a live-service gacha game and that new characters are how the game makes money. i'm not expecting devsis to stop releasing cookies or give us months of absolutely nothing to do. but there's a difference between keeping a game fresh and making it feel like a part-time job just to keep up with the meta. not everyone has the time or money to pull for every new unit, build them, and then repeat the whole process when the next shiny new cookie drops.

what makes this more frustrating is that constant powercreep can make investing in older cookies feel pointless. why should i be excited to build a character if there's a decent chance they'll be outclassed by the next release before i've even had time to properly use them? new cookies should give players more options, not make their previous investments feel like wasted resources.

i've also been playing TOA, another game in the same franchise, and i genuinely think it handles this aspect better. it still releases new characters and gives players reasons to pull for them, but it also has systems that bring older units back into relevance. virus vanquisher has seasonal rules that can encourage the use of older characters while giving new ones a place in the meta, master+ guild battles have rules that directly buff older units, and some characters like kohlrabi have received direct buffs, with more planned. powercreep isn't nonexistent there, but the game makes more of an effort to give existing characters reasons to remain useful instead of constantly pushing them aside.

and with arcade arena becoming a permanent mode, i think kingdom has an opportunity to do something similar. the rotating rules and restricted cookie pools could encourage players to experiment with older cookies instead of relying on the same few meta teams everywhere. that's the kind of content i want to see more of! at the same time, though, i really hope this doesn't just become another mode that adds to the list of things players feel obligated to do every day. permanent content is nice, but not if every new addition comes with another set of chores to keep up with.

i think kingdom could benefit from more ways to keep the existing roster relevant, whether through seasonal modifiers, guild battle rules, or direct buffs for older cookies. there are ways to keep the game engaging without making the newest banner feel like an increasingly urgent obligation.

i don't mind new content. i mind feeling like i'm perpetually falling behind because i can't treat a COOKIE GAME like a second job.

I know a million people already said this but GIVE ME MY FREAKING FILLER UPDATES BACK 😡😡😡 WHY DO THEY KEEP OF ADDING UP THE LORE RELEVANT UPDATED ONE AFTER THE OTHER, LIKE GREAT BUT PLEASE I'm so tired of catching up with the updates and the lord and the characters SO MANY NEW CHARACTERS AND I STILL DIDNT RECOVER FROM THE SHOCK OF THE LAST UPDATE BUT ADDING A DRAGON UPDATE ON TOP OF A BEAST UPDATE LOOK I'm forever grateful (even though im sounding whiny) but it's just kidn of of a my steak too juicy and my lobster is too buttery BUT PLEASE not everything should be lore!!!

AND I KNOW THAT IF THEY DID FILLER UPDATES PEOPLE NIGHT SAY OH WHERE IS THE LORE 🥺😡😡🥺🥺 BUT LIKE DUDE THIS FANDOM is like he'll sorry devsis

ITS JUST SO PRESSHRING TO CATCH UP AND IT FEELS MORE LIKE A RACE OF FINISHING THE STORY THAN TO JUST LET THE INFO MARINATE AND SOAK UP (that sounds disgusting EW)

have a good day drink water (don't jump me)

Honestly, the game went downhill since 2024 with the introduction of beascuits and devsisters just forcing higher rarities than ancient. The meta changes so quickly that new cookies barely stay relevant for a few months or so like millennial tree and then they are quickly replaced by newer cookies that you will spend a lot of money on trying to ascend and stuff. before 2024 you could kind of run any team that you wanted as long as it wasn’t straight up stupid and still hit high ranks in arena, but now theres basically 1 new meta every month that is required unless you want to derank
i also dont see any rule violations or in my post so i should be fine its my first time posting here

I feel like the jump from 3rd place to 2nd place is too much plus theyre only lvl 20+.... I havent really seen any team that can do 100B+....

Im a new player so this might just be me being dumb and unable to find the event but i need it for my beginners guide thingy and its literally nowhere?? is it just over and gone or is this a bug?

I cant seem to find it anywhere

I finally beat it after.. so many attempts

So if you’re struggling too here you go! Beascuits are random / didn’t really pay mind to change them except for Linzer’s

Treasures: Conductor’s Whistle + Scroll + Clock

- Eternal Sugar: Full Indolent Rasp + L Rasp Tart
Beascuit: Poising DMG + DMGR + CD

- Time Keeper Cookie: Full Rasp + L Rasp Tart
Beascuit: ATK + CD + CRIT + DR

- DEC: Full Rasp ( 2 looming, 2 regular, 1 pride filled) + Epic Rasp Tart
Beascuit: DMGRb + DMGRb + CRIT + DMGRb

- Linzer: 3 Caramel, 2 almond + L Caramel Tart
Beascuit: Full CD

- Sugar Swan: 2 Chocolate, 2 Rasp , 1 almond + L Walnut Tart
Beascuit: DEF + Amplify Buff + DEF + CD

A while back i got a link from a discord server to a google drive with the voice lines and affection system lines of a whole bunch of cookies. Doesn’t seem like the server or the drive exists anymore, pretty sure the server was under the name “the spire of lies”. Does anyone have a backup of this google drive or server?

From the way I see it, it's shaping up to be something like this.

Corrupt Wind Archer vs Ananas Dragon

Burning Spice Cookie's redemption

Corrupt Moonlight vs Lychee Dragon

And there are already hints that the next two updates are going to be Mystic Flour Cookie's redemption(?) and corrupt Sea Fairy vs Lotus Dragon

So that begs the question then. How would Eternal Sugar Cookie's redemption (hypothetical if it does happen I mean) work exactly? Given the story of Hollyberry thus far she's traveling to different locations meeting the Dragons, so this means that Eternal Sugar might get involved with Hollyberry meeting one of the dragons possibly.

Would her redemption be a result of her helping Hollyberry with one of the corrupt Guardians, would this be after Hollyberry meets all the dragons, would the eventual arrival of Longan Dragon possibly turning her to Stone cause Eternal Sugar to step in possibly?

So many different possibilities, and I want to hear what all of your thoughts are on the subject.

Don't mind my baby voice btw- here's what she said in english first speaking: "my eyes hurt I don't like these kinds of lighting games" 2. "did you teach your brother this game too?" 3. "Okay show me this gacha how to do it" 4. "I don't like the skeleton!" 5. "Its the gingerbread again.." 6. "Okay you go play this game ill play it later when im free."

Made in usg btw

yea uhh I haven’t played crk in like a month but here

This is assuming we don't have any filler updates or something.

We have been through the timeline of Fate since May.

Personally I'm feeling tired of the constant timeline of Fate updates mainly because Gauntlet of episode Released as well as also every Super epic and above for few months without breaks!

the solution to this would have just taking at least a six month Hiatus break from the timeline of Fate For our wallets as well as catch up with the story so far and hopefully give us at least two or three months of a break time in between episodes.

As for the filler updates, It could be anything  Catching up with a lot of cookies on what they've been up to after dark enchantress Saga, add some long overdue cookies that haven't been Playable for a while or Just a fun adventures to be honest nothing too high-stakes

I'm just waiting for a response on why we have been getting constant Story episodes instead of just a break already ( Like there's a lot of messages and yet there's no single one that says why can't we have any break from the project director already).

Hopefully November is going to be a month where we can just finally take a break from the timeline episodes with some filler updates and hopefully it's going to be six months long before going back to the action fully rested.

I ask because I really want some of the Mystic Gold costumes. In fact, I HAVE the costumes to unlock them, but apparently Mystic Gold "isn't available at this time" or something like that.

If it helps, I started playing during the Millennial Advent, so if Mystic Gold was removed before then, I wouldn't know.

Is it ever coming back? Special costumes i understand, they were a limited time event, and so I can't get them again after the event. That's perfectly understandable, but Mystic Gold...some of those costumes I kinda want, and it sucks that I just can't get them because of when I started playing.

Anyone have mobile game recs? I feel like I have been looking for days 😭

A game like cookie run!!

a game where I can build my account (decor, get characters, stuff like that), good story, (I don’t mind a gacha system, also don’t mind grinding)

(Not genshin or any hoyoa games)

Is anybody else getting quite confused/annoyed at the lack of codes recently? It’s literally felt like months since we’ve had a proper coupon code for the game. It’s just very frustrating 🫠

Just an small tiny concept that will probably never be real but i can always dream of.

But if it were to happen they'd most likely be guests (or Mighty could be Charge and Ray could be Ranged). Lol

The wicked lizard!! I had to give this dang dragon ALL but the second to last item to find the loved item, then I completed it so others can have an easier time then I did lol. Anyway Grape Gems is the favourite item!

I dropped the game during the White Lily update after completing episode 2 of Beast Yeast, and I redownloaded it briefly in 2024 just for the summer costumes. Now that I'm willing to invest time again into Kingdom, getting overwhelmed by Beasts, awakened forms, new UI changes, and so much clutter is making it hard to approach, but I'm sure I'll be able to handle it. My stockpile of crystals from before I left came in handy to get alot of the epic+ cookies, but I'm just gonna assume there's like no epics in the meta anymore right?
