Like the unicorn update, but please can you add some more game-play related trophies rather than divine ones?

Or at least make the divine trophies relevant (not just putting divines to bed) default smiley (8)

I love the unicorn update default smiley (l)
I was wondering though, does this update apply retroactively?
I did the 6th covering on a unicorn who hasn't had a single unicorn offspring yet just yesterday. Will she now 100% give birth to a uni foal or are her odds still 1/5 because I covered her before the update?

Hey, just want to let y'all know that I could not collect my daily objectives on mobile and had to go to classic mode to do so. In case anyone else had that problem this morning.

I didn't have that exact problem. But much like when you do an action for a golden apple or ahelios. Ray, once you click on something the first time you're not able to do anything else within that screen on mobile.
I collected my passes from one objective and went to swap. My other objective and it wouldn't let me. Until I backed out and came back to the objectivee screen.

I love the new updates -- the unicorn update is very helpful for those who need it.

In case anyone is wondering, this applies to breeding the same mare. It is not in effect if you cover 5 different mares.

I actually really don't like this update. I get it, most of what I do is breed unis and I've sent mares to heaven that never had a uni. But all I really see this doing is devaluing something that is already getting cheaper all the time. It'll be super helpful for competitive uni teams, but all in all I can't get behind this one.

I personally don't mind it, it isn't like we are just going to be able to breed unicorn after unicorn, it could still take up to 2 1/2-3 days for each one if you have to use the guaranteed 6th unicorn foal, this is with using both windows every day to cover the same unicorn mare.

I do feel like it's going to devalue unicorns somewhat, but given that I'm not in the business of selling unicorns and that I've been having abysmal luck lately to the point where I'm running low on breeding females under 25 years of age for my Icelandic uni herd, I can't really complain. default smiley (a)

I'm not super clear though on whether it's EVERY six foals, or just the sixth foal if you had five duds in a row? I hope that makes sense. Like if you had a uni on your third try would you still get one as #6 or would you need to go through five fails after that one?

It's after 5 fails in a row.
From the change logs: "don't get a unicorn foal five times in a row,". It's just for an individual mare, not for every 5 covers in general.

'if you're unlucky and don't get a unicorn foal five times in a row, your mare's sixth foal will definitely be a unicorn.'

This, to me, reads as you get one after five fails...

I don't think any of the Divine trophies have had past actions count, unfortunately. I know my reindeer were in lots of comps before the trophy came out but I still had to start at 1.

I'm having problems claiming the reward for completing my objectives, I just get the message an internal error has occurred . May be a hiccup with the new interface (on the app)

Oop, I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but it seems like you can give horses names that contain more than 20 characters.default smiley xd I assume it's a bug, but it made me laugh because I just tested it and the horse's name on the page is just blank now lol.

i like the change for regular horses, dgmw! however, i do *not* like that it is also the same number of retries for a draft or donkey, costing you three (or six if you want the same stud) phanes eggs to get even one foal in return. it's not like you can just buy those or even swap for them in the exchange. like yeah the foals are worth more, but not *that* much more when you get maybe one or two in every third event lately? like i havent used a single egg since they were introduced, and i could only get four foals out of the entire stash (or two if using same stud)

*and before anyone says it, yes obviously 90% of people will use a fertility wand. but some won't, and even then imo it's not worth the effort.

The game isn’t letting me receive my objective rewards! Is anyone else having this issue?

Mine worked fine. However, I think I validated them before the update.

Sorry, but I really dislike both of these updates... default smiley (d) default smiley :(

Unicorns were fine before.... and yes, I did have unis that never gave me uni babies, but isn't that part of the chance? What's the point of the 1/4 VIP and Hestia gift if you're just going to guarantee the unis now? It's also easier to abuse the BMIs if you know you haven't had 5 unis and will get it on the 6th. Sure, I feel like my 1/4 VIP barely does anything (if at all). I know, but still it just seems unnecessary... Especially because Unis are already very cheap as it is. I'm sure future updates are going to include Phanes eggs in divine perks or just straight up Black market which will also greatly devalue all draft/donkey unis. Almost all horses on this game are worth nothing unless it's a collectible. Skillers lose value so quickly since the teams are super fast at getting new GPs and Unis are so in abundance that they're also worth nothing.

Also, why Love divines?? My list of "now I need to work these passive divines" are growing default smiley :( Yes, I know you don't HAVE to do it. It just feels like every "divine trophy" they add keep feeling more like a chore and tedious work rather than fun. I never worked reindeers nor Christmas divines nor mythological divines, and now I have farms for all that. Guess I have to add Loves in there too. I'm sure every non-worked divine will end up there because that's what this game is about. Divines and optional events. Nothing for actual horse accomplishments evidently, other than the ridiculous requests for basically 1 horse. default smiley (d)
