Nah, hardly.
Joyeux Noel, Feliz Navidad, Mele Kalikimaka, and Buon Natale were all behind a paywall.
HOWEVER, in the Event you always got a free Christmas Divine, which not only would give you 200p for Christmas, but also different prizes during the year.

This Jackpot? This jackpot gives you NOTHING.



Give me an unlimited, free, weak Xmas Divine every day. Meh.

We are missing out on our Christmas divine for our anniversary promise? Replacing something a lot of people look forward to each year ( a special prize) with a "special anniversary gift" isn't anything special. I'd have rather waited longer for our 20 year celebration to conclude. It's less an anniversary gift and more a poor replacement for our year end divine.

Exactly.
This is NOT IT.
The Christmas event is the ONE event everyone looks forward to. It's something nice, a cute little present from the Team.

I'm devastated.

Yeah, not at all exciting. Even the packs seem slightly lack luster, but the event is fairly boring. An ok mix of extra divines, but the jackpot is anti-climactic, especially since you need both objectives to collect the 1000. Seems like it will be a cheap and easy event for me, unlike last years where I actually wanted to collect the main divine and some extras.

Thank you for explaining! I totally get the point, my memory is just too bad to remember the jackpots from previous years. Then I definitely agree...

Oooh, are we grabbing our torches and pitchforks?!
Allow me to join the horde of dissatisfied Howrsians.

Guess I'll be skipping Christmas too. These divines are junk. I couldn't care less about the anniversary horses especially because I haven't bothered with objectives since Howrse added popups to them during the Major January Downgrade, so those horses are useless to me anyway. This event was the only way that I got Christmas divines in the past because they're just not worth their price when the rest of their prizes have 1 item and 2 pieces of junk that it rotates through and they only drop once month. That's basically one good drop every few months, and I'm not wasting passes on a perk like that.

I skipped the Christmas event a few years ago completely too because it was all junk. Guess I'm backtracking there again this year unless something changes. And I'm not interested in adding anymore useless reindeer to my farm, so skipping it completely is probably a good thing on my end. That's the other divine series that I don't even board alongside the winds. At least I still work the Christmas ones, but I don't think that matters anymore because I won't be getting more.

They should switch out the


with the



Or just release one Christmas divine for packs, and one for the event,

They've released two before!

If they switched it would be a mess.
They are meant to be unique and all that, just look at the Multiple Viginti Mess.

No, solutions have been offered in the Preprod forums. I hope they at least look at them (very little participation from users tho).

It's going to be the worst Christmas since 2013 for Howrse (and THAT one had the polar bear and penguin reindeer expedition if you recall).

This doesn't come as a surprise to me. Especially after the way they've 'handled' the 20th celebration; a term to be applied loosely. It took them well over a month to pretend to respond to those concerns so why would anyone bother trying to communicate concerns or possible solutions in a two week prepod?

I'm extremely disappointed in Decem personally. The least they could do is passes instead of equus; do 1 a day for one objective maybe. But the same reward as Quinque for twice as much work? My actual job already puts me through that thank you I don't like it in my free time too. More disappointed in not getting a 'free' Christmas. I'm only mildly disappointed in the packs. That could just be because of how low they've set the bar this year though.

Hi everyone….when is the next event starting?

It should be starting tomorrow, new events tend to start on Thursdays after they end on a Monday.
