New features

I would rather have had the ability to add bulk selling being able to be done on mobile added.

I really hope Howrse doesn't eventually shift over entirely to mobile. It seems like more and more they are focusing on improving and fixing mobile while neglecting the desktop version (like with the "ads for rewards" that is broken but they are still advertising it on desktop).

This is a desktop game, and mobile is just inherently less functional for it. I'm not going to switch to mobile, and even when I do have to use my phone I use desktop mode.

I will drop this game if it goes full mobile. There are things on desktop that you can't do in mobile and I refuse to play my entire game on that format

100% Agreed, the mobile version is lacking way too much. If they switched over to just that, they would lose lots of people. There are so many things that are a total pain on the mobile version. Desktop is far superior and shouldn't be forgotten about.

I don't think they are, though. I guess they're just trying to improve things that really needed to be improved in order to allow mobile players to do almost as many things as players on classic can do. Even though there are still some things I didn't read about. (End date of ascent divine rotation or events for example)

... We needed a whole Dev's corner update for that

Obligatory reminder that many of us are still upset over the trophy rehaul...

It's hard to judge the lottery change since we don't know how much the compensation actually compensates for, but I expect we will still be getting less than when we were getting 50% more draws per day. Or before they made the 4th draw impossible to get, 100% more.

As far as the actual Dev's Corner update, no "latest features" just a couple bug fixes, half on the mobile app.

In my experience on prepod, the compensation did not actually compensate for losing at least a draw a day.

The Qilin update is nice, so long as it's what I think it is based on the wording. I've gotten a few objectives to over draft unis and couldn't do them on the mobile site. I had to move to the desktop version (to use a Qilin cover).

Still waiting to get those pretty little icons back from the collections on my profile page after Howrse said that they'll look into it it a few years ago

Clearly they just said something to make us stop complaining and then threw our complaints out a window and ignored them

Yeah they definitely did small fixes to the trophies but for the most part it seems like they just went "eh good enough" and tapped out.

Not to mention the part right after it dropped where they were bribing everybody into stopping complaining with "maybe there'll be a Jade you never know! This is a good change and will surely benefit you " and then waited two years for most of the ire to die down before dropping the complete list of 20 of their most bottom-of-the-barrel garbage Divines that nobody wants at all.

So far incredibly disappointed with the lottery change. Which is saying something, because my expectations were low hearing about it, and now that the lottery has started I am still let down.

According to the changelog, the lottery would have "More interesting prizes. The chances of winning cool prizes have been increased." Also, "There are fewer small prizes, so every draw has more value."

The current lottery draw has no M. Arms, no Nyx packs, no Hera's packs, No ANY packs for that matter, no P. Stones...nothing other than a divine (which was always there before) or a pseudo-divine (also not uncommon before) that would be worth over like 200 passes? And even then....the vast majority would be more like 100 passes or less . . . or have value more accurately stated in equus.

I knew the change to 2 draws no matter what was going to be a detriment to the players. However I was hoping to at least have some good items come up to make it a little more worth it. Seems like, despite the promise for "more interesting" and "fewer small" prizes, we're not getting that at all.

I said something similar also in the event forum topic, but . . ."More interesting prizes," "fewer small prizes," and I have a bridge to sell you.

Companions.... Again???

There is a spelling mistake in the companion chest update: "The first Companions Chest will feature the Duramas". I think it has to be "Daruma".

Hi MyLittlePonyLover,

Thank you for pointing out the error.

The team has been notified of this spelling mistake.

Cheers!!

I don't like the idea of a random companion - I choose which to give to a horse to get the maximum benefit for the competition type they'll be entering most. Might be good for collectors and newer players I suppose. I also think we already have enough companions. Oh well, won't affect my game too much and the foal naming addition will be useful.

I do enjoy to be able to get ones without needing to spend hops. but only the good ones. for prix horses or to sale to the direct

It is April 1st, maybe this is a joke.
No way I want a bunch of random useless companions, with little benefit to skills, I already have a ton of those and they are next to useless for comps and prix horses.

Random companions are not really useful for a majority of players. Not finding this a sensible add on at all!

hmm not a big fan of that idea, knowing my luck it won't get companions i actually need!

I like that you will update it every week and i like the idea of Devs corner

I like the second Dev's update: linking to foals not yet named. It's a small thing, but it's also positive, not just fixing a bug, and not just on the mobile app.

Of course, I'm still missing my stack of beautiful trophies...

If it had been a choice of any companion in the series I would have been fine with it, but a random one is no use at all. We won't be able to pick which bonus we like, and it's pointless for collectors since there's no way to avoid duplicates.

I have genuinely no idea who this would benefit.
