Great to see a response from EchOw when I logged in today. This raises my spirits and allows me to hope that they will make some fixes to this update.

^ wait what? was there a post somewhere or do you just mean the "we'll say something eventually" response from a few pages back?

Most of them we CAN'T.

You can't do anything to work towards the seniority trophy except log in. You can't do anything to work towards the Divine trophies if you don't own those Divines. You can't do anything to work towards the Event trophies, period. You can't do anything to work towards the customization trophies except spend billions of passes on GAs or just twiddle your thumbs waiting for new coats/companions to drop from the Events.

The only things we can even DO anymore are enter and win competitions, earn rosettes, and collect poo. That's IT. That's the whole game now, under this new model.

I've done pretty much the same expect I don't do the events anymore. I have five horses I take care of and I sold about 50 or so. I have no motivation to try to do anything related to the trophies. I actually probably lost progress on some but I don't care like I used to with the old system.

i like collecting coats, do i get credit for getting all the colors for the thoroughbreds now? no, i do not. no one even KNOWS i collected the coats because of the format!

before you could know what the player likes to do just by glancing at their page.

what was wrong with the old trophies? please, give them back.

For those wondering about some of the trophies being pretty much unattainable, from the Equideow Forums:




Not a huge update, but I thought I'd share because 5000 ribbons on a single horse is just insane as an objective.

I think part of the problem is that the majority of the trophies either have stupidly high requirements, can't be worked on for months, or are just out of reach due to the divine series being unavailable. In my opinion, there should be more trophies that are focused on regular game play, something to encourage people to better their games.

For example, we could have trophies based on how many times you take care of your horses, how many hours you take your horses on rides, how many hours you train them for, how many times you reach 100 blup with your horses, etc. We could even have trophies for the amount of workshop productions you do, the amount of crops/cows you collect, the amount of times you complete the objectives and collect the passes, etc.

There's so many that can be added that don't have to be focused on promos, but yet we keep getting them added instead of trophies that encourage normal gameplay and reward players for it. Eventually we are going to have a bunch of promo trophies that we just can't do anything with the majority of the time, cluttering the page up as a result.

^ To all of this, yes.

Amen!

Exactly! I'd still miss the collections and would still want those to be renovated under the new model but having things we can actually WORK towards would be an improvement and would probably encourage people to play the game.

I agree wholeheartedly with all of this. I especially like the 100 BLUP idea, or maybe something like "give birth to X number of horses" or "breed X number of unicorns." Anything that encourages and supports a diversity of gameplay, instead of just winning rosettes and working certain divines.

I know this has been said numerous times, but I sooo miss the old trophy page and literally hate this horrible new version.

Same! I was just looking at where i am on the Space Traveler X trophy, which will be the Diamond one (unless there are more than one diamond levels?). It LOOKS like i'm getting pretty close...im at 80%! However, upon closer inspection, the Diamond level i'm on requires me to find 10,000 UFOs...which means i only have roughly 2,000 more to catch. This might take a while, sigh!

It was okay! Wish there was a little
More to do with the horses and stuff.

Two months later and I'm STILL ticked when I look at my page now.

I had SO many diamond trophies under the old model. I worked hard for them, and was proud of them. This new one shows zero. Even the ones that should have carried over (like seniority) got reset back to gold/silver. It BITES. Like I didn't put in all that work to have the ranking suddenly change to "nigh-on unobtainable" and all my progress to be gone.

Why even try anymore? If I get diamonds under the new model in 3 years they'll probably just rework it again and scrap them all a second time. Not that you can even get diamonds under the new model since they're all insane and take, quite literally, DECADES to complete.

I hate the new trophies, and yes like many of you the trophies were the only reason I continued to play. I enjoyed collecting the coat colors, GAs, RCs, HRs, elements, and companions. I enjoyed displaying these things on my page and would get a lot of nice messages about them.

With that taken away, I will not be doing anything besides farming six valuable divines, in hopes that the game does improve. All that progress just lost overnight, I do not want to put anymore effort into something that could easily be taken away in a night.

It hurt when it happened, but I waited to say anything. The trophy prizes are worth nothing to me, even the divines are useless. Nothing else can compare to someone messaging me congratulating me on my coat collections, or seeing that I finished a new divine series trophy. The engagement is gone, and that is probably why I am most upset.

Yeah, I remember working towards the 100% coats for all breeds trophy. Took me something like a year and a half to get them all, as well as countless amounts of money towards savvy buying, breeding fees and items, etc. Doing it felt like a real accomplishment, and having that trophy to show on my page felt like something to be proud of.

Under the new model it's... still doable, I guess, but it lacks engagement. The only ones I'm trying for now are the VA and Species trophies since the rest (virtually) cannot be attained at 100%, and the RA one LITERALLY can't. So there is no point. And I do miss having something to actually show, or being able to go on someone's page and look at their accomplishments.

I disabled those "trophy" icons on the first day that we got that change.
I cannot remember if all can do that, sorry.

But thank heavens I could remove it, it's such an eyesore.

Checking my "trophies" I can see I still have one that has been stuck in the 90'ies since we got the change.
How many of X I still need to get 100% I have no idea - and I have zero interest in bending over backwards, trying to locate the page that gives me the numbers I need to get to 100%

Definitely a huge issue with diversity of trophies. They now encourage just one type of gameplay (Collect divines and participate in promos).

It would make the change much more bearable if they add proper trophies for those who collect coats, breed horses (and as suggested above) blup and work horses. I don't collect divines, so that entire part of the trophy page is pointless and unrewarding for me. And of the things I do collect (RCs and GAs) only one of them has a real trophy now.

Also, the change is still ugly. The new trophy page is still confusing. I doubt they'll do much about it, but I really hope they change the design.

Really pleased we will be able to see how many of each BMI we have in our inventory again when we go to use one.

Same! i also see that we have some new trophies for the upcoming promo that weren't there last night. I agree with Crystal Clear...you need the divines or to be active in promos to get so many of the trophies! And the collections are still left out. This is not a good trend at all, in my opinion!

Yes we really needed that one. Very happy to see than option.

Also the fact that we can now search for wild horses, chimera horses and pet horses.


Keeping my fingers crossed howrse will choose to look into the option so we can get the old trophy icons back.
I do not know just how many GA, RC and ray collectors we have. But surely there is room for those players as well. The games does not need to have all scrabbling to get all divine and/or have the highest GP horses come hell or high water.

What the heck is a 'pet horse' and why is it under 'species'???

It's not for horses with companions... so what is it supposed to be?

It's a Spoiler
