I'm struggling to get past silver for most trophies and I've played for years! My account is very well established but with these current requirements it'll take me years to get past the level's I'm currently at default smiley :(


This is compensated by the fact that new Trophies are coming, so while you work on the hard ones you can get more rewards from the newest ones.
Event trophies, Divine trophies, those are made to 'tide us over' as we work on the bigger, white whales of the game.

I am happy to see more of the enter/win competitions trophies! With the old trophies, I don't remember the exact number, but know it was very low, and I remember thinking "oh that's odd, horse game, we're training our horses, but there's not really an incentive to win competitions.." Sure there's rosettes, but like, I'm talking normal comps, so that's definitely a change I'm happy about!!!
(Even if I think I'm about to hit the top level on them....but the point is, I'm not there yet, gives me something fun to work towards!)

*So glad* I saved up and traded to get all the pegasus 5th element coats just to have them show up as a bronze metal. They also seem to have gotten rid of that distinction.... now it looks like if you just have the coat in general and it doesn't matter if it's a regular horse or not default smiley :k

I get what you're saying, but the gaps between trophies are too big! The requirements basically double each time you get a trophy, it's fun at first but quickly becomes demoralising...

It's the rosette one I'm most annoyed at! I'm about to reach 2000 rosettes with 1 horse which is a HUGE achievement for me, but it won't count towards this trophy because you need 3000+ to get the diamond trophy which only ~10 horses on the game have ever reached!

The trophies should be paced better e.g.

Win rosettes with the same horse:

Bronze 1 - 30
Bronze 2 - 60
Bronze 3 - 100
Silver 1 - 150
Silver 2 - 200
Silver 3 - 300
Gold 1 - 500
Gold 2 - 750
Gold 3 - 1000
Diamond 1 - 1400
Diamond 2 - 2000
Diamond 3 - 2500

As we said, the rosette one is just extremely bad. Terribly paced.
A lot of horses got there, yes but it's still unattainable for most players, so yeah...

Also, the random numbers after the trophies make no sense because each category seems to be different!

There needs to be a way to see:

1. The total number of trophies we have
2. A number rather than a % to track our progress
3. How many trophies that category has and what we need to do to complete them all (basically to see if it's impossible or not)

Master of the Manure Pile XII is a gold one that requires 500,000 droppings. I've no idea if there's a diamond level or two above that
wow that's a LOT of poo. i can't imagine what the diamond level would be. i was so proud of my old manure pile. took a long time to get it. now it's hardly anything.

See, I think the tricky thing with the rosette per horse trophy, is it really depends which competition we're talking about, like, if we're talking about any of the western comps, at least to my knowledge, you can only count on a few hundred for your rosette horses, but if you're talking about english, and specifically show jumping/gallop, 1,000 is definitely reasonable to just "expect" if you have a solid horse.

That's where it's just interesting with "how do we go about this" I'm not complaining about it, like, it's probably a trophy I'd never get all the way through, and to those who do, congrats! well done! But I do find it interesting how it's done, just cause there's like no comps where you can even get 2,500 lol
I was just looking at the top Argentinean Criollos (cutting) and the most rosettes they have is 500.. So if someone only cared about Cutting coemptions, sorry, you're out of luck!

And I just had the idea to look at top western horses? The most rosettes any western horse has is 700.. which, as I pointed out above, means if you're going for the trophy you'd HAVE to go english, and off the top of my head, I don't think there's 2500 Dressage/Trot..


hmmm yeah idk on this one, may I'd just get rid of the "per horse" category, and raise the total rosette won category?

idk, I'm not too mad about it, it's definitely one, I know I'll never go all the way on, and it's ok! I have entering/winning comps to chase default smiley :)

I'm sorry... "Won five rosettes"

HELLO? Im no big rosette winner but I sure didn't qualify for VIP with 5 rosettes default smiley (o) I don't know how long the history thing goes back but in the last 2 months I've won well over 5 as well default smiley xd

They just ported the trophies you had active, those who get cancelled anyway after 30 days, and used that value.

It's a bit confusing, but I appreciate the gifts default smiley :)
Got a few twin divines now, but hey - they're divines default smiley :d

I don't understand why people are so negative about the free divines.. Is there finally a freebie basically everyone can get without spending a fortune (passes, equus, both), it's still not good. Heck, are they even content outside the game, I wonder..

I am really pleased with the gifts, pretty much everything is of use default smiley ^)

Well, Trophies were a big part of my game. Quite simply.....I hate the change. The prizes don't mean anything to me and yeah, I received quite a few. And no I'm NOT grateful!

I love how this horrible change came after the Xmas packages were bought. At this point I'm no longer interested in the Trophies. You just keep ruining this game and running it into the ground. default smiley (n)default smiley (n)default smiley (n)

Im thankful for the gifts, but really disappointed about how the trophy looks! I loved to just go about different peoples' presentation to see what trophies they have and ogle in amazement by their collections and achievements.

Now I see 4 medals and some numbers. I can't imagine the disappointment of everyone who worked so hard and even paid money for these, only for it to be flung out of the window default smiley :(
