It's exactly what I'm assuming,

Are there any more news/updates regarding the release of the rest of Zaldia’s tack or is there still no news?

Nope.
If we know something, we'll update

I doubt it, since it IS a somewhat decent prize.

I know old players may not be thrilled about Etrian but since I missed him by taking a long hiatus, I'm actually really excited to have the promise of a divine without filling a meter and for potentially free! I wish more events did things like that and like the pinatas. I'm excited for the cards

I meant to put a tag on that

I am absolutely horrified by the prices people had spent to get Saturn. And no,it is not all on the player for spending so much money. There is a reason a lot of countries are taking steps against loot-boxes and guess what, both HOP,GF, and Titan`s challenge qualify as loot-box. Even more so now that we have the divine-dust. I have heard the "it`s just luck", "they can stop when they want" and many more excuses from other game-publishers that have this luck-based thing in items (it is like saying to an addict "well just stop (do the thing they are addicted to here) and you won't have a problem, nobody is forcing you". It never ends well. There are studies that show that this kind of loot-boxes has a devastating influence on young people.... younger audiences that are exposed to this kind of mechanics are more prone to gambling if they are exposed to loot-boxes.


Fun fact: Las Vegas has more restrictions than loot box-mechanics in games.Let that sink in. And now think that this game is advertised as a family game.


And it is true that random is never just random. Computers are great at exact calculations, but they don`t do well with randomness. Let's say you breed 2 horses. The chance of getting a colt or a filly is 50/50. The code doesn't say "pick random gender", the code will say "chance of filly: 50%, chance of colt: 50%". Computers understand only mathematics.

The problem is,each divine has its own divine-dust amount. A divine that is known for being attractive to the player (good rewards like Nyx Pack, 5th element mm) usually gives you extremely low numbers of dust (2-14 per TC). Even with event-bumps when you start getting 20-25 dust/TC is extremely low,while divines with uninteresting gifts usually have bigger drop of dust.. And remember,the number is random each time...
Lets say that you usually mostly get 22 divine dust per tc, it would require you to open at least 45-46 TCs in order to fill the meter. 45 TC = that`s 9000 passes.

IF you get 22 dust per TC...get lower than that and you will be spending a lot more.

This is why I prefer divine horses being reserved in reserved sales. At least they have set amount and you know exactly how much you will be spending.

Before divine dust came to "save us", it was possible to get the divine from pass-horses. But with the meters and other annoying changes you can be happy if you manage to fill the meter enough to get one of divines leg.

I definitely agree with being

I had to sell my one and only DA horse to get enough passes to get Saturn... that is how desperate I was. I felt even more inclined to do so since I didn't want to wait years for a chance of it to come back around... I hate how increasingly difficult and expensive it has become to get a divine.

Well, I say 'had' to. In truth I'm struggling financially and can't afford to spend so many passes on this game like I used to, and my other horses weren't getting enough attention in sales. I knew with certainty I could get passes for my DA due to demand and rarity, but I wasn't pleased having to do so.

Please Howrse, do more than just 'listen' to feedback, make the game a little fairer for your loyal players!

Hey guys, I cant find the post for the best way to earn XP with percival, and how often he is predicted to give timers, does anyone know which page its on?

It's 100 daily experience, no matter where you get it from. You can either win a competition with Percival or two gallop comps, you'll get to 100 in a second anyway. There is no prediction on timers, only maths. Every time you get to 2600 exp (26 days) you get a Timer.

Fuji is a darling, a cloud per week

What is the next event after the Isolated Kingdomes? Does anybody know yet?

Yes, it's a few pages back.

XPosted over in the "What was in your HOP?" thread:

Update (since I wanted the little pig horse for a full prehistoric set):

Total HOPs to get Hyra: 6 (all free! YAY!)
Fragment range observed: 45-83
Implied average: 64
Implied cost to fill meter: 1700 passes

...That said, it seems like the likelihood to hit the jackpot is set pretty high.

This is what I got, fragment-wise, what I spent, and what BMI I got in those HOPs.

45 -- Objective HOP (HOP)
78 -- Prize HOP (Bonus Pack)
76 -- Xanthos HOP (nothing of interest)
83 -- Xanthos HOP (nothing of interest)
80 -- Xanthos HOP (Chronos Timer)
675 -- Xanthos HOP (nothing of interest)

...Does anyone else have any records on their fragment spread to get a better idea on the overall implied price Hyra is set at?
