The forum isn´t about me, so don´t give me advices

WHAT did they DO to the QHs?! Sorry....

I think being able to see the tack on the horses is pretty cool, will it be able to be seen on GA coats? Hopefully there is a way of noting haveing to show the tack on the horses though

Looking at the most common breeds on this server, I see: 1 - Arabian, 2 - Thoroughbred, 3 - Paint Horse, 4 - Gypsy Vanner, 5 - Friesian, and 6 - Quarter Horse. I didn't hear many people complain about how the new Arabian coat looks, but the next five in the list are often disliked...

I don't know if this was intentional, but what these changes may lead to is that more people will stop breeding the more popular breeds and switch to less known ones, like the Akhal-Teke...

Does anyone else think this is odd?

I highly doubt that the graphic switch will cause a massive switch in what people are breeding [as I recall this same subject coming up when the coats were switched from the v2s] - as eventually, people get over it and learn to live with the changes.

While I feel it's more of a coincidence - I must agree that this might help some of the lesser used breeds gain popularity (but not enough to shift the balance)

I'm hoping for a new Argentinean Criollo coat



Did it ever occur to you that perhaps your opinion or those expressed in this thread don't reflect that of the majority of the community? Or that perhaps Howrse can't change every little thing that people ask for because it conflicts with something outside of our understanding?

Also, what is wrong with them wanting our money? Owlient has 45 salaries to pay, it's not actually run by a single cartoon monkey sitting on top of a giant pile of cash, stroking a Persian cat and laughing maniacally.

I just had the most hilarious vision of Ow's Monkey dressed up as Dr Evil from "Austin Powers", cuddling Mr Bigglesworth...

There are things about some of these coats that I am not "crazy about"... but there are things about the current coats that I'm not "crazy about", either. There were things I was not "crazy about" with the original graphics we had, too. And there were a lot of things that I liked about many of the versions of the coats. (I do rather miss the original Chincoteague. But the upcoming one is nice, and I like it better than the one we have now.)

@nerferka

love your reply to last comment you reptlyed to haha. Honestly I totally agree withwhat is the problem about Howrse getting money. ! They need to pay salaries so we get a game to play haha

The wild Chincoteague is the awful one, it looks deformed.

Whats going to happen to DA horses?

Just out of curiousity, are these character changes visible anywhere, like webpage and mobile? Or am i not looking hard enough? I see different complaints about certain breeds but am unsure how much (worse or better) they are.. For example, is it that arabs or thinner? Or QHs legs are angled differently? Im also wondering about if anyone else noticing that the horses themselves are looking smaller on the pages?

So are the coats in the spoilers real? There is obviously are perfectly capable artist working for howrse but if the aim was to make the horses more realistic and the conformation fitting to the breed...they've missed, not by much, just tiny fixes on the conformation would make a world of difference.

some examples: - akhal-teke, very pretty and nice build for an typical horse but not an akhal-teke, they have a very distinct conformation.
-the mustang I saw looked like it had lymph node infection or something, I suppose that's not unrealistic for some, but who wants to see it?
-quarter horse looks very good for the halter standard really, (doesn't suit KWPN much) all QH which are not the classic type are a bit messed up irl anyway, I'm so glad it doesn't look like one of those HYPP beasts

Muting the shading doesn't make something more realistic, perhaps the artist had some problems with greyscaling the coats or whatever method they used but many coats lack the muscles definition and shine that really stands out of a healthy horse. Also many coats have quite dull eyes...

Okay I'm an eq vet in training so my standard will be different to others and you can't make everyone happy but I would love for the horses to look more happy and healthy. I am incredibly excited for the new coats and have loved most of what I've seen so far

Just noticed my Peruvian Paso uni mares changed coats!!

Yep My Lusitanos changed to so all the iberique stlyes have changed Barb, Canadian Horse, Lusitano, Peruvian Paso, Purebred Spanish Horse!

I have just confirmed that my Peruvian Paso DA has not changed! Yeah!

I have been arguing for weeks that our Diamond Apples would not be affected when the base graphics changed. I presented my evidence and argued the key points with absolute confidence. Still, it's nice to confirm that they are safe.

no one take this offensively, but I've gotta say I'm not too keen on the new looks... Some just look, unnatural...
Im really gonna miss the old coats Especially the knabs, mustangs, shetlands, gypsy vanners and Friesians

Shettie and teke are to die for but devestated by the vanners and mustangs :/ wouldnt stop me from breeding them but does make me a little sad

I just did a little digging around and discovered something interesting.

Chainging sttles would surely soften the blow on the loss of my favorite feathers

The new t. Walker and marwari are to die for!

Can anyone tell me honestly because I have looked like everywhere. Where are they showing all these new coats?

All I know is my KWPN's have changed, which by the way look awesome, but I don't know where to find all these other new looks that everyone keeps posting and talking about.

If anyone knows, please could you tell me?

Oh jeez, you can tell which one they took their time on and which one they rushed.

Page 144.

Sorry, the entire list has been shifted forwards to Page 145 now!

Most of the coats look awesome, not so keen on the Thoroughbred, Friesian or Quarter Horse though. Thanks for telling me which page to look logo44
