So that account page..I hate it. Cant we just have the old one? This one stinks! Like seriously! If it aint broke dont fix it!

Do something useful,like in sales put in a bar that you can type a companion to look at or a list of pets. Or add a button to look for divines.

YASSS!!!
I kinda wanna see how this event plays out. I haven't had much luck in getting divines recently, unless you count the reindeer and Christmas Pudding (got through two events ago) I just wanna be able to get it so I can expand my collection. As many people who've known me for the last 7 and a half years will start to notice, I'm trying to be a tad more competitive. Harlequin is just gonna be the tip of the iceberg. I just hope I won't have to use too many passes. Trying to save up for reserved sales one day.

Added a link in the earnings pop-up of a chosen divine horse taking the player back to the selection page.

What does this mean?

If my suspicions are right, Harlequin is going to be via Titan's Challenge. I'm saving my passes and Titan's Challenges for the rerelease of the Solar divines. That said, I will keep participating in the events and if there is a divine I can get just via the event, I will go after it.
I sold mine years ago ��♀️ still doesn’t do anything, and I think for collectors who paid a lot for them it’s a bit cheeky & wrong (same as bringing pets back!) they can’t think of any new ideas so are reusing old ones...!

I used to have a Harlequin; I bought it from another player, then sold it after a few years. I wonder how it's doing now...

I think this is garbage. When Harlequin came out we worked to get the masks. "Giving" them a complete set now is terrible. It de-values the Harlequin's that already had complete sets. default smiley :(

Actually, Harlequin is going to be offered in the upcoming event default smiley ;)

While I do feel you on the Harlequin, I don't agree with the pets, which are linked heavily to many trophies. Because of the low number of certain pets, mainly ladybug and bee, it basically ensured that the majority were locked out of those trophies because they joined way too late, and I honestly feel that a limited amount should be reintroduced to prevent them "dying out" and to give more chance to those that want to collect the trophies. As long as they don't flood the game with the rarer ones I'm personally fine with it.

I understand how this can be frustrating to collectors, but it's also frustrating to those that want to have a shot at the trophies but can't due to there being an insanely small amount of them on the game, therefore no chance.

As someone who played casually back then I never paid them much mind and still doesn't, they don't really matter to me, but to trophy collectors? I can fully see and appreciate why they would appreciate some of the rarer pets reintroduced.

I think I'm a little dissapointed there are almost no small game upgrades. There seems to be a focus on divines and events only, while small things to the regular game could be improved sooo much, for a better player experience (and not just as VIP perks).

For example, a button to add EC forums to a list of favorites, because I always seem to lose super handy forum threads that are not in the main forums. Or as mentioned above, a search option for pets and divines in sales. Or when new golden apple coats come out, you can click on the image to get you to that specific apple coat and immediately buy it, instead of looking up usernames or titles (sometimes spelled in characters I do not have on my keyboard). Or even just a simple 'add as friend' button on userpages.

...I could go on. default smiley (o)

Can you please edit the daily objective of : Remove a WoY from a non-special horse

to allow it to be removed from ANY horse?

I placed a water of youth on a wild years ago, and I barely interact with it because it takes way too many aging points to receive any passes back in return. A silly mistake which I've had to just put up with, but I'd really like to get those passes from it and have it retire.

1 month at a time... is such a drag.

How is everyone else's lag going, btw? Because mine is getting worse and worse. I have a great internet connection and my pc is pretty good, but it's getting so annoying... It takes a minute to load some pages sometimes. default smiley (d)

The lag for me is TERRIBLE! default smiley :(

I'm also still wondering about my question on the prior page from a few days ago --

So if we already had a Harlequin with all of the masks there's basically no changes to the horse in our farm, right?

Absolutely dreadful. Can’t play properly any more . Loosing interest in what once was a good game

Yes the lag! Ohhh the lag..you would think that with all these "improvements" getting rid of the lag in this game would be a top priority..its a real turn off.

Glad the reindeers are more fair now.

But yggdrasil needs a lot of correcting before its any as good as the pas horse system..

Don't forget that Yggy was not supposed to ever be as "good" as the pass horses. Giving out passes is what the daily objectives came in to do.

I have the same question! I've had the wrong time zone for my entire 11 years on the game, SO excited to be able to change it but can't seem to do that?

As far as time zones go, I'm pretty sure I read something about being able to change it *if you live in a country that has multiple time zones*. So my understanding is that countries such as Australia have the option but countries that only have 1 time zone don't. So if you picked a country that only has 1 time zone I'm guessing that you'll need to use contact us to change the time zone. *guessing*

Otherwise, the LAG!! Seriously Howrse!! I'm so tired of having my page reload 15 times before I can complete a mission with 1 horse and then exactly the same with the care actions that sometimes I just don't work my horses because I don't have the patience to deal with that. And then theres the ever annoying "you can continue to play!!" page that automatically just makes me turn off the game default smiley (li)default smiley (li) and it's not my connection- it's this game. Please fix the lag on this game. It really gets in the way of gameplay default smiley (li)default smiley (li)

And the dehorn a uni and the draft/donkey objectives.. why won't you just remove them??

As ShadowKokufu said you can only change if you are in a country with more than one timezone. So Australia, USA etc should be able to change it in Account/Personal info.

Any other country with only one timezone just open a ticket with Contact Us and tell them where you are they will change it for you. default smiley (y)

I'm sorry Howrse, but the speed the game runs at now is enough to make me give up, and you can see how long I have been playing. The lag, which for me gives me a white page for ages between actions,( esp water for some reason) is on all my games, and so on all the diff servers it seems.
As I said on the UK thread, because it plays so slowly there is no point trying to be competitive as I don't have enough hours in the day to age up a howrse! So no point buying passes at all.
I know nothing about computers and far more about real horses than digital ones, but please do something to speed the game up, or all us "too old to play computer games" types who have been on here for years, will have to go and take up knitting! default smiley :(
