New features

Hello:

I hope they do not make the change because children still play on the game
and it does give an added feature to make it a little more fun to play.

Not only that I am concerned that by making this change, it will simply create a
cause and affect to create more glitches interruptions and problems in the game;
something I do not need any more of.

If it isn't broke, please leave it be and fix the existing problems or at least
wait until all of the existing problems have been repaired and then work
on the nuances of the game.

Hello again:

I have already sent a message to Contact about another problem
I am currently having with my game. I would like to post this problem here
to see if you can help me with it or if you can refer it to Contact.

I had problems with my Quindecim, The Myth Collection, several
months back. I sent a message to Contact and thought it was corrected.
I now have the same problem again. He now has 25 days of history
on his profile page.

I am no longer sure whether or not the number count of passes is
correct because while his day counts the feeding and grooming the
number of passes do not always change right away after completing
the objectives.

Are you allowed to send in more than one help request at a time to Contact?
Can you help me with this issue?

Thank you kindly in advance for your advice. I appreciate all of your help?

ps. I originally thought it may have been a phone issue or issue on my side. I contacted
the communications company to which they replied this problem is coming from howrse/owlient. and recommended me to send my requests to howrse.

Thank you again.

ps. I did have a thought that just occurred to me.

I have been on howrse for 14 years and my game has gone through the different
versions of howrse upgrades. I also play on prepod quite often and wonder if
either of these have anything to do with the problems on my game.

Prepod and the live version is suppose to be kept completely separate, but
I have noticed on prepod I have had problems, too. What had happened
on the live sever had also happened on prepod. I have many horses from
the original version and so on.

It is just a thought as to what may be causing issues with my game.

As I stated earlier, I had the communications company check out to see
if anything was wrong from my end and they told me I was fine. The only
problems occurring was from howrse.com. I hope this helps in narrowing
down where the problems may be coming from.

I love playing on howrse with my friends. That is why I have been here for so long.
Thank you again for your help.

I think it may have something to do with his inability to never age. He's the 15th anniversary horse, so his age always stays at 15 years. That may be why his history never clears, but it's something Contact Us will have to confirm.

If you remember the last time you collected passes from him (and also know whether there have been days you did not complete any objectives), you can calculate to see whether his pass amount is correct. For example, my Quindecim's pass amount says 284. It's been 142 days since I collected passes from him on September 6, 2021, and I've always completed at least 1 objective each day. 142x2=284 passes, which is correct. His pass amount should change as soon as you confirm the completion of your first objective of the day.

Thank you Legacy Ann:

Thank you for the helpful advice to see if Quindecim's pass amount is correct.
I will be using your method to see if the pass amount is correct.
Thank you again for your help.

It would be nice if you could move the donate to Ow/dehorning/remove WoY buttons to under the activities list on the other side of the page. I've lost count of the number of times that I've almost donated/mutilated my top uni mares thanks to these annoying objectives. They're a nuisance to anyone who doesn't do them, especially because it's so easy to misclick.

And when are you going to get rid of the dehorning one?? I refuse to mutilate my horses like that. I refuse.

My Onyx just gave me a pass UFO, and when I clicked it I didn't get a confirmation box, although I did get the passes added to my account.

I previously had a regular UFO and the confirmation box worked fine for that.

Is there a problem with the Onyx pass UFO or is it just me?

UFOs are not showing up for me - I see them but when I click them there is no box or confirmation. Happened with my Amethyst, Onyx, a regular AP UFO and a custom UFO today. The items or passes are still being credited, just no box is popping up.

FYI "Optimizing the appearance of the action buttons" has caused the stroke button's highlighing to now look like an obscene gesture.

The new button icons were the first thing I noticed when I started taking care of horses today and I thought I was going crazy when they looked different...I kind of like the older versions better. Not sure if there was a need to "optimize" them.

The grand prix buttons were better before..

Instead of changing the button graphics and making them worse, why don't you try improving the horse graphics?? Give each breed a DIFFERENT look?? Do something that will actually improve something that needs improvement?? Or am I just finding these changes to look like placeholder things that are unnecessary..

Some of the buttons are now way too big, making it look untidy and hard on the eyes. Like, the drink and mash are massive, while the groom and cover appear smaller than them. I personally saw nothing wrong with the old sizes.

Agree

And several look so very squished and small.
And the competition buttons are very dark now.

Navigation wise I use the old navigation as in I have disabled the "Use the new interface to select the length of actions" (the pearl on a string feature).
The feeding, training drop down features is now WAY buggy. I have to often click 2-3 times before they register my clicks.


No your not alone. Would make the game even more interesting with different looks for all breeds-

What device or browser are you using? I also use the old interface and haven't had any issues with the dropdowns or clicking them.

@Legacy Ann have tried several all latest build.
Vivaldi, Chrome, Firefox and Opera.

...edit to add. Think maybe their working on fixing that issue. Just switched to firefox again and it's less buggy... Hope they fix the other browsers as well.

Completely agree with all the other feedback so far, but surprised that no one mentioned how ugly the pass button is on wilds and chimeras now. It's like they took all the outlines and dark spots out of the image and just made it a blob of yellow instead Threw me for a real loop when I started going through my dailies this morning.

The new icons for rides and covers are too small.

the new icons on the horse care page are very, unpretty to say it as kind as possible.
a lot of them look like they accidently turned of the linelayer or used a very bad program to cut away a background to make a tranparant version, very choppy or super thin. and they seem a bit inconsistent as a few still have better defined nice linework, and quite frankly these graphics look, worse then the older.

The hand on the stroke button looks like it only has 4 fingers now. Really distracting for me now I don't like it.

I might be blind..which I probably am...But besides the carrot being a bit small I honestly don't see much difference in the care buttons, except maybe the buttons being more vibrant.

Collecting the chimera passes, the pass button does look a bit odd, I can't see the horse imprint in the pass properly O.o

I don't like the covering symbol though. I liked the old fat one, this one is skinny and weird looking and quite frankly distracting

The Grand Prix button looks more gold which, I mean, if you win a trophy I hope its gold

That was the first thing that caught my attention, the Grand Prix cup now looks the color of a traffic cone instead of a nice, mellow gold.

I definitely am not finding the changed graphics on the action buttons to be an 'improvement' and it is difficult for me to see how the changes serve any practical purpose.

I'm also not the biggest fan of the new horse page buttons. Some of the icons appear to be of different sizes on my end, and some (such as the reproduction button) look way worse than they were before.

I'm not a fan of the new buttons either. They all seem to be different sizes now, and it's really throwing me off.
