Yep, definitely save your moves
Click to display
rather, elementals for a few days. In the meantime, while you are building those up, play the event on a different server(s) so you can get some practice for how this exact event will work. You'll get some practice without wasting elementals on your main game server.

Would it be possible to get a guide on how to get the best prizes without spending passes, like for the few previous mazes? I know that the last maze was different for everyone,
but will this promo be the same?

This next event

is not a maze event. It's a brand new smashing block type game like Pet Rescue Saga. Instead of trying to get pets to the bottom we need to get chests to the bottom and in the chests contain prizes. Everyone's grids will show up different, so there is no way to put together a guide for it. Here is an image of it. I'm out of elements here, but if I had all the colors needed, I would want to smash the green blocks in the center first to drop the blue one under the chest down, then smash the blue ones to get the chest

Looking forward to it. It's amusing, frustrating and addictive.. Totally plan to save some moves as well.
..and

Click to display

I plan to take notes of the items I win as well.
Going to make a spreadsheet and list them according to the chest rarity.

Really hope they make some adjustments as well.

Happy they made some adjustments to the board so you no longer end up in a dead lock, with no options to progress on the daily board.

I know chances are slim - but is there any chance Howrse will give all the horse breeds a little makeover in their standard appearance? From all the graphics used those before the current horses were by far the prettiest, I honestly wonder why the developers replaced them with the current graphics which have little to no resemblance at all to real horse breeds. default smiley :s

If that ever happens it would be far into the future. We have not had the current coats long enough to have the developers to re do the whole lot.

I really wish they would, but like @Spyder said it probably won't happen for a long time. The old graphics were so much prettier. I know they had to update them to create layers for the tack to appear properly on them, but I'm just not a fan of the current ones.

At the very least, if I saw a horse with the same proportions as some of the current graphics in real life, I'd be very concerned for their well-being.

Ok, but how?

How do I practice? Do you mean a whole new account? Login name and associated email? Recommendations if I am US eastcoast? Would I try Canada -- is that the one everyone likes-- or try Australia so I could be a half-day ahead?

@Spyder

Argh. True. Probably not for another 5 years or so, if it ever happens. But one can dream I guess - but coats with the style of the last ones but one for each breed, with specific visual characteristics like their real life counterparts, would be amazing!

@Frankenstein

The lack of detail and proportions in most coats (with few exceptions like the percheron) reminds me of the very first "generation" of Howrse graphics. The tack being slightly varied in their position on each horse graphic would be another bonus. But no doubt that'd take a lot of work, for the graphics prior to the current ones to be changed all servers were closed-off for hours and the game was buggy for weeks.

You are allowed one account per server, so that means
Click to display
you can use the same username and e-mail when registering on the US or Canada servers if you want, but yes, you'd need to create a new account on a different server if you wish to do this. In this case, time zone doesn't matter in regards to this event. If you'd prefer a larger server, then US is probably the largest of the regional ones.

I'm just suggesting that for those unfamiliar with this type of game and want the divine that you might want to practice on another server before trying it here. If you're already familiar with this type of game or are good at learning games in general, then you don't need to bother, but it doesn't take much to create an account on a different server. You just have to suffer through the tutorial up until you put the GA on your horse so you have access to the eventdefault smiley (lol)

In the next promo,

Click to display
I believe I read that each day the 'map' (or whatever you want to all the blocks) resets. Is that correct and is that why we should have the elements for a couple days?

Yeah,
Click to display
the grid did reset for us each day, though that's not why I want to save elements. I've thought about saving elements for a few days because when we first started testing I couldn't really progress that far with the daily freebies and I had so much fun playing that I didn't play strategically enough and ran out of elements before I could make any headway.

It wasn't until the Packs came out about 4 days into testing or whatever it was that I was able to get anywhere. Obviously, packs won't be available until a week into the event, so the extra freebies from waiting an extra 2 days or something might help me play a bit better.

Hello, That is correct:

the grid, with all of its blocks and chests, resets each day.

About the next promo
Click to display
Does anyone know it it's in any way restricted when it comes to getting the divine on the test server? I've opened 60-70 purple chests on the swedish test server and I haven't gotten the divine.. ?

Also, is it just me or are there 2 patters of mines? One with the 3 usual elementals and one with the 4 elementals you have to mix together to get? Or is that some sort of bug? How do you get one or the other mine if it isn't? lol

What Server do you test on?

[quote=1403450067][author]phönix[/author]About the next promo[/quote:0]

I got 3 of this promo's divine but was very expensive.

Click to display

You have to mix the top line of elements to get the second tier. And you must mix all 6 top and second tier to get the lower white one.

[/quote:0]

All main testing is done on a mock up of the International server. About a week after, the regional servers are open to VIP to do test runs, however no feedback is done on the regional servers.

Oh that I realized but
Click to display
Basically I only need the first 3 pretty much all the time. And then sometimes, (like it's a 'new' mine or something) I only need the other 4 elementals.. Which is super weird?
I asked friend to give me their test server passes so I've spent like 600 passes and still not gotten the divine.. Super weird.

I've had a similar experience in regards to
Click to display
the grids and which colors appeared. I can't remember precisely in which combos but I usually only saw 3 colors per grid and then I'd get different colors when the grid refreshed either the next day or if I bought a potion with a pass to reset it. It wasn't quite clear whether that was intentional or not.

Divine wise, it took me 10 (or 11?) crystal chests opened before I got the divine. Many other players reported 15 or something. It's something else we'll have to wait and see how it plays out live.

Something I noticed...
Click to display
This could just be a coincidence or bug, but if I refreshed the grid (using the potion) the new colours matched the elementals I had in my inventory, so if I had no basic elementals (orange, green and blue) the higher value elementals would appear.
Also, if I had no elementals at all, it would pick the high value ones (white, yellow, pink, etc) for some reason.

Perhaps, if the grid contains high value elemental blocks then the Crystal Chests have a greater chance of containing the divine? Otherwise, I see no real point of the higher value elementals(?)
