New features

If you've just collected them you can find empty boxes by either choosing "no" from the drop down boarders menu or if you don't have the divine Summer (and her VIP perk auto reserve) choose "no" from the reservation drop down menu. Either way only empty boxes will show.

The vast majority of my boxes are unreserved so that doesn't narrow it down. Also I have a top 50 EC with 60e lessons and +40 that I charge 20e per night. My minimum skill is set to 1 as I want everyone to be able board - this means no box is empty for long. Often taking a few seconds for three boarders to jump into the boxes.

I suppose I could change skill level to really high before collecting from the workshop but that's irritating.

Was the update concerning not wasting energy with unneeded training only a ViP perk or am I just experiencing a glitch? It seems I can still over train my horses and nothing has changed.

Yes, this! Since it would affect divines like Greyfells, daily objectives, and events like the Great Challenge that requires you do to X amount of rides. For people that don't have a lot of horses or APs or other reasons, this could easily prevent you from progressing. I don't think this would be a good change unless it was an optional feature like the toggle. Otherwise it's now a convenience > playability.

Or if they could maybe just color it? Like instead of having it all blank when you're about to finish training rides, have the rest of the dots be colored so that you know you don't need those, but you CAN do it if you want to. That would help a lot too, but not sure if that's more complicated to implement or not.

I also still have this issue where I can over-train the horse. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't though. I think it's just an error on the implementation of it. They probably need to fix it.

It would great if they could update/refresh/improve the ECs. It's so long overdue

Was there a reason why some topics in the Events forum were changed to discussions? I had the spoiler topic starred to easily see if there were new posts but since the change I now have to search through a ton of topics. Could we at least have the ability back to favorite certain discussions?

It's to keep them from being deleted due to inactivity.
We lost a few topics the past couple months (retired landscape gallery and HoG companions) because they'd been inactive for awhile.

I 2nd the ability to star the stickied topics from the forum view. I can sometimes look at the "last message" time to gauge whether there's a new message, but if a topic is moving quickly, it's much more difficult to tell if a new message has been posted.

Oh man, I completely misunderstood the message we got about the daily objectives update. I literally thought they were switching to weekly objectives, having 14 objectives available to pick and choose from at the start of each week and being able to complete them as and when throughout the week. I was so excited for that.

Also pretty annoyed that I don't make progress for my objectives today because I'd competed them already, should be on 6/10 today but I'm only on 4.

Same I was kicking myself for doing my daily objectives so fast, I forgot that updates usually don't happen exactly at "update" time lol

Players will get used to the actual reset day/time but the wording on the change log is confusing.

The daily objective gauge now contains 10 tabs and resets at the start of every week.
The gauge will reset every Tuesday at the update time of your version of the game.

The "start of every week" is not Tuesday in any country I know of.

Regardless I'm quite disappointed in this change. I liked the challenge of completing the 2 objectives each day. Yes some were quite difficult or time consuming to do but wasn't that the point? People get bored when things are too easy all the time. The objectives are a way to earn passes for free and when done using strategic planning (buying horses with WoY or Wings, having a few unis draft and donkeys etc) can easily provide enough to pay for VIP.

Same here, I understood the pre-update exactly like you! I was really excited for this, but now that the update is in place, I'm kinda disappointed The "not logged in" feature is nice though, they've made some good adjustments, but I do feel that they could've created something more fun

So... you can't trade objectives anymore... way to sneak that change in there howrse

Okay to be fair, according to the change-log, we can still trade, but there was no option for me to trade today?

Is it possible to get rid of the objectives pop ups entirely?? They're irritating enough to make me not do objectives anymore now that these irritations are involved in daily gameplay. Isn't it enough that I have to avoid events because of the incessant nuisance pop ups that I don't want in my game?? Thanks for ruining the objectives too.

I'll say that I actually do like the update to the objectives, because it was always disappointing when I accidentally missed an objective and had my HoP gauge reset. This way I have a whole week to make sure I complete everything, rather than a bunch of 24 hour time frames (which can be hard when you have real life things to attend to). But we still have the challenge of completing two objectives a day to get the 30 passes! I'm curious how the fragments will work (will we no longer win fragments during events??) but I don't mind it at all since it seems like it's in addition to the passes, rather than replacing them.
So overall this is positive in my opinion!

I'm just a little concerned with the objectives because I hope the fragments don't replace the passes when an event is live. Fragments + the passes, great! Fragments in place of the passes... I really hope not.

If you haven't yet completed your objectives yet, I suggest taking a screenshot of the objectives page to show that you don't have the blue bubble trading icon in the upper corner of either objective, and send that to Contact Us.

From the update dm:
"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."
So the hop doesn't just go into my inventory anymore? Kind of blows since I save them for when something nice is offered in them such as divines... I never remember opening them right away correct me if im wrong. I never got sent to the hop page after getting one for completing the objectives.

The HoP from objectives has never went into our inventory. We've always had to open it right way.
We had to click "use" and it would open then

I've completed them today but if the option isn't there tomorrow I'll use contact us

Thanks to this new update, I didn't get the hop I was supposed to today for completing objectives. Pretty sure they said they would make sure that didn't happen. Now I have to continue for extra days just to get what I should have today.

Have we done it?! Have we *finally* gotten rid of the dumb '15% off TC' rewards?!

I'm struggling to understand how some see this as a negative change? We now only need to complete 10 out of the 14 weekly objectives to get the horn instead of every objective during the week. We still get passes after we have gotten the 10 points for the week, the fragments are not replacing the passes, so what's the negative to this change? They've pretty much made it easier to get the horn every week, yet all I have seen so far are complaints in regards to this change.
