They chanded Shire's design? WOW. Looks much better now.

Anybody who knows if we will get the chance to use HOPs for the next Maze event?

that is the Percheron, not the shire.

chaging ONE pass for 1 treat is ridicolus, not to mention 50 to get a bigger amount of treats

that you don't find a Draft for sure if you go the fastest way up through the maze. I went through it and didn't win one. After spending a fortune on a promo I would expect to find the Divine and the new breed for sure. Hoovering all possible gift spaces is just out of space unless someone is a millionaire and can buy endless passes to fill up with endless treats.

it could even be hiding in one of the dead ends of the maze as well?
Surely very few will take that path? Or is there some way if you can see if the "gift" is a horse or is there no telling until you click it?

sorry if this has been answered already

Unfortunately there is no way see what gift is on a certain place, you can just see there is one. But it can be anything. And as far as I saw the Drafts can be everywhere on any gift place. So you can spend a fortune to just finish the board on the direct way and go without Draft. Which I find rather annoying and not motivating.

I'd say if it was placed "somewhere" on the main route we can have more players happy. My guess is, a lot of players will choose this route and it's up to everyone how far they want to get. However knowing, there may be none at all just kills motivation.
There is no need to put it right at the end really, but there is the need to put it once on a spot everybody can achieve to get to. My opinon of course.

the only for sure spot they would be able to do that would be if they put it at (G,22). As this is the spot right when you head out to Blue I highly doubt they would do that. If they put it anywhere other then at (G,22), you are looking at people missing because the took the lower path instead of the higher or vise versa defeating the purpose of helping by putting in a certain spot and other people that finish before this is known and missed would feel cheated out either way.

I understand how expensive it will be on this promo, according to my calculations to make sure I get both drafts and lovely blue at the very least I would have to spend 46 ish passes or the equivalent in TC and that is being extremely lucky with getting to lvl almost every time so I know it will be more. However this promo is also one of the fairest I've seen with Howrse in term of prizes since I started. With luck a person could come out of the maze with 2 of a brand new breed with just getting on 2-3 times a day to make a couple clicks. People have been complaining that they aren't fair to non-pass buyers, so I see this as a nice medium. Pass buyers who are going to buy anyway will spend what they want to get what they want, plus they get the added bonus of Blue, but those that can't or won't will be able for atleast a chance at something new when most other promos they won't stand a chance.

If you use the eyeglasses and the path , that we have been lucky that others have shared, even though they are moving the gifts around we can have a good plan ahead of time and take only what we absolute need to take lowering the number of passes/TC needed. It's all just planning ahead and testing that luck generator all have to deal with.

like the SOA or TC or Hera's Pack could go more towards the end. I know that if I make it through most of the maze, but not 'far enough' and don't get a draft, I'm not gonna be extremely happy.
