anything less than 100 will give you less gain. "If the parents' BLUP is below 100, the GP gain is weaker than before, whereas if the parents' BLUP is 100, nothing changes." "nothing changes" I take to mean that you get the same gain at 100 under the new system as we do now. This chart posted in the updated change log might help clear it up a bit, though I had to stare at it for 5 minutes until I understood it Also, the grammar might be off a bit as it hasn't been fully translated. Google translate took GP and called it "PG".

Does anyone know when the BLUP change will happen?

generally it's released around the same time as the event we're testing it with. So probably when the Cards come, which will be after the Potions. So maybe the first week of November

The "funny" thing is; this messes up ALL new teams that want to become nr1 or place in the team rankings. Right now, if you have the resources and manpower, you can get within 50gp-range of the top team (this depends on the breed, if its Prix breed or not, and if the breed is classical or western style), but it is fully possible, since you can 50 or 70 blupp-spree and boom you can be near the top very very fast.

With this changes, the new teams with have to waste a LOT of recourses (MA, AP and IRL-time) to get to 100, with will keep them always several steps behind. This also undoes Howrses weirdo gp-update for Fjords that I never understood in the first place....

(someone correct me on the fjord-gp-part, never kept an eye on that one).

ANd if you are a solo breeder, then good luck surviving with this.

And training means less with those changes? WHY!?
It doesn't make any sense at all!

I'm kind of upset by this, because I've trained on getting faster at blupping for months on end (mostly just to have a goal to work towards, but it's also a handy thing to have in for example a war), and now I feel like I'm finally in a good time frame with 50-60 blup in 5-6 minutes, and now this happens? Not cool my friends. Also, training already counts little enough. How about we just remove training as a whole with this? Grr..

"5th Element - Air"

get a message with the new BLUP change? Also, does that mean it will be posdible to breed in the neagative GP again?

So, if you aren't a competitive breeder and you already blup to 100 before breeding, the change won't really make much of a difference in your game? At least that's what I'm understanding from reading this.

Breeding down to negatives is impossible,since no matter how small the GP gain is,there is that small "auto-gp-gain" that makes the foal always have higher gp than the parents.

if the BLUP change was going to make it possible to breed negative GP again. But I guess it won't. I just saw (a few topics earlier) that it was just redistributing the points.

I used the same parents, but bred a few foals from them.
Foal 1 had 4196.58
Foal 2 had 4195.06
Foal 3 had 4200.38

Dam had 4173.47 with 72.07 Blup
Sire had 4161.84 with 70.12 Blup

I don't have access to these same horses on the live server as I bought the parents, which were the closest to 70 Blup I could find at the moment so I input the parent's values into the Howrse Plus calculator, which is usually pretty accurate and takes the gains of the GP your working with into account.

According to the calculator, under our current system the foal would have an average GP of 4216.69 with around 70 Blup. Meaning the new difference in GP between breeding at 70 blup now, and breeding at 70 blup under the new system would be about 16-20 points

And had I bred them at 100 blup we would get an average GP of 4224.98, which is over 20 points difference from breeding at 100 and 70 under the new system.

Grant it, I'm not sure how accurate this is, and I'd like to test it some more, but I suppose that provides a bit of an idea, maybe.
In regards to the actions needed to get to 70, both horses above had the 3 skills bolded, were aged to 10 and had 8 wins. So you'll now need to get about 8 wins if you want to reach 70.

The GP you get when breeding at 100 won't change. It's just that breeding at less than 100 will give you less gain so there is a bigger incentive to breed at 100.

the automatic gain is still built in. By "redistribution of points" I mean that where before you get something like 30 Blup points from winning comps, you'll now get more for that, and less from bolding skills. They are making aging the horse and winning comps worth more. Which is why under the new system only bolding the top 3 skills and aging the horse to 10 will only get you to 60 blup instead of 70. If you want to reach 70 you'll need at least 8 wins on top of that

I fully BLUP anyway (unless I'm breeding 'junk' for my AP farmers). So this change really means nothing for me.

This will affect teams mostly. Single blupers who just do the odd horse,mainly for competition will not be affected at all. Teams will now have to put in a little more work to get their foals to the same spot they used to go to.

You can buy a card privately. There will be a meter along the top of the flash sales. When you buy a card from the auction or direct your meter will start to fill up. Once it is filled you can buy a card of your choice for a set price.

According to the little chart at the bottom of the flash sales page you get 2% for a bronze, 5% for silver, 10% for gold, 20% for a diamond and 40% if you buy the divine.

How do you buy the divine and how much might this cost?

The new BLUPing update is undesirable but its not nearly as bad as taking away the pass horses.
