I normally don't open crowns, but I really wanted Carnivorous, so I did open 5 that I bought and one that I earned. I know this was before the update, but I was very surprised to get a MA, WoY, and Chronos Timer in my 6 crowns. I thought the crowns were worth the passes I spent, so during the update, I actually thought they meant the value of the items were going to increase.

Also, I thought they were pretty clear that we would still have 2 objectives a day, one of which we could exchange. The way I understood it was that the change was that we wouldn't lose our progress toward the weekly HoP if we missed just one objective or one day, which I like very much. I am looking forward to seeing how this all works out. I think it will be very good. Thanks, howrse!default smiley ^)

Yes, on preprod we get both.

It does say in the change log you can continue earning "both passes and fragments"


Thanks! That's good to know. The wording doesn't actually confirm it, but if it was tested then I know the players know what to expect. They could have made it where during events one objective gives 10 or 20 passes and the other gave fragments and that would mean not getting the 30 passes a day like we do now, and you'd still be getting passes and fragments like they said. That would have been an upsetting change! But if we can still earn 210 passes a week + get fragments that's just a win!

I was going to get my horn of plenty today, only to find out the update changed it so I won't get it for 3-4 more days. Sigh

The meter resets on Tuesdays, but because only 10 tabs are required to fill the meter you'll be able to max it and collect the HoP on Saturday

Just a small heads up, the fragments probably won't be added to the objectives until a promo starts, so if you want them as well you should wait on doing the objectives until after the promo starts that day.

I honestly do not like the crown the shards are too few for what you pay pass wise so with the cost set at 170 passes that means shards will be even less, default smiley :@
It ranks with the Golden Fleece for the ones I am not fond of.

@funnyone is there an official confirmation of that? because they formerly "valued" the contents at 300 passes (when they weren't even worth a HoP imo) and have permanently *decreased* that to 170.


No, no official confirmation. Perhaps I am/was reading it wrong and you all are correct, which is very possible. default smiley :)

Just a question. So, if you have an objective that you can't complete, instead of switching it, if you just leave it until the next day, will it still be there or will another one take it's place with the update?

Another one takes its place. I didn't complete one of my objectives yesterday and it was replaced with a new one. The 2 objectives change every day regardless of whether or not you completed them.

So I'm assuming it we hold off validating objectives today we should get fragments too this afternoon?

I have one today that will auto achieve as soon as I work a horse, wondering if I should not actually do anything today until the promo is up and running?

Thankfully as long as you don't collect the passes, even if you've completed the objective before the promo started, the fragments are "added" to the passes as soon as the promo goes live!

I completed both objectives early today but held off collecting the prize until now in hopes this would be the case lol

Here to confirm that we can get the horn whenever we get to the 10 points. default smiley (y) Mine will be chilling until I see what the weekend has in store in the event of a promo offer.

Are you still able to complete additional objectives for more passes until you choose to open it though? Or are your objectives frozen until you do so?

I will find out tomorrow! The good thing is previously you could hold off opening and once opened immediately get new objectives (if it was after an update) so I am hoping that is the case tomorrow after the weekend offers kick in.

Will have to report back then if it's still the same!

You can.

From the change log: "If your gauge is filled up, you can continue winning passes and fragments after you've completed your objectives. The Horn of Plenty will open automatically if you didn't open it during the reset."

What if my gauge is filled up in 5 days and I open the HOP right away, do I still get objectives until the next Tuesday reset? Or do I have to wait 2 days with nothing to do?

Maybe this was explained in the change log or above but I can't seem to find the right info... Or I maybe misunderstood something default smiley :s

I absolutely adore this change, not having to choose between opening the horn and getting more objectives is so nice, plus having some leeway in the event you can't do a few of the objectives. I personally feel that this is one of the best changes the developers have made in quite a while.
