New features

is this stupid frame thing the only thing happening for this dev's corner.

here's a question. will we lose the old 15th anniversary frame. I've been on 10 yrs but was here for the 15th.

I hope we don't lose the ones we have already and get to choose the one we want to use.

I was hoping for a celebration frame, since I haven't been on long enough to get the 20 years one. (And neither has anyone else...?)

I guess we'll at least finally see what they look like, though.

I'd settle for mobile letting me not pretend I'm under 16 instead of actually being over 40....

Contacted support, clear cache, cleared data, deleted and reinstalled app, deleted cache and data for Chome thinking that may be it, deleted approved devices and tried signing in, tried to sign in for a non US or international server account, tried signing in from an old tablet that I've never used to sign in before and I finally gave up and said they must not want my Christmas money that badly.

Maybe someday they will figure it out and I can reasonably use mobile again.

I hope, at the very least, that this means we will actually see more avatar frames in the future. They came out somewhat often when they were first introduced, but then they just seemed to be completely forgotten about. I'd love to add one to my avatar, but there haven't been any introduced since I decided to start from scratch, at least not any I can use.

I was hoping that the 20th anniversary one would finally be the one, as everyone who took part in the 15th anniversary event got that frame, so it is a bit disappointing that the ones for the 20th anniversary are being tied to account age, instead of giving it to everyone who had an account prior to the day. I think giving us milestone frames for x amount of years is a cool idea, but there also should have been a frame that everyone present should have received.

I must say I wish they were fixing the game instead of introducing these...
Many issues and many things to improve - they may have done so but the dev team have already shown that they don't actually list all the things they change or fix, so how are we to know?

Improving the way the Apollo's Lyre is used is just one example - having to change each letter's font, colour etc by hand is incredibly frustrating, and I'm not sure why selecting multiple letters wasn't an option in the first place.

You won't lose the 15th anniversary frame, as it's a different one. The new Birthday ones are just additional options

Got the notice I had received them and went to see - they all show up as completely blank (I'm not on the app). if that isn't indicative of this entire "celebration" (remember this whole border thing was supposed to celebrate the site's anniversary before they ghosted (ha) us about everything for over a month?), then I don't know what is

Hiram it is here today as you say.

Was available on US server yesterday hence my confusion

Well, what I really wanted was my trophies back, but I suppose a falabella bonus bug fix is all we're going to get this time around.

Yeah.....

At least there is going to be a huge Black Friday Sale where people can spend more money on the game without getting anything from the Devs

I wasn't even aware there was a problem with the Fala bonuses

Wow. No on both counts.

Honestly a bit disappointed that the schedule change in ascent is going ahead, despite all the negative feedback on the test server in regards to it. This is also after we were told in the QaA at the start that it was a "permanent" game feature, as shown here -

Will this new mode be alongside the existing promos or instead of? This new mode is permanent. It’s in addition to the events and the core gameplay loop. It will not replace any event.

I honestly don't know a single player who actively plays ascent and enjoys it that wants it to go on a 3 week break after every session. Why not just give us smaller value divine runs during the breaks so that we can still play it if we want to? There doesn't have to be an active God just to play the game.

Wait, this was tested, it came back with lots of negative feedback, and it STILL somehow went live?????

What. How. Why. Is it because we get a free Obol every day and a free Drachma every 5 days?? I just. I can’t. Now I’m even more mad. I literally JUST dumped more of my hard-earned money into this game with Christmas packs, and you do this to me NOW??

No, seriously. What is wrong with you, devs?

They're really planning on killing the game by destroying the teams. If everyone can get, for free, one horse that is better than the team horses, for the teams have worked for years and likely spent questionable amounts of real money.. It's not only Appaloosas, the next round is on a different breed. Eventually they'll destroy the GP breeds too. What happens then? And don't even get me started on the Season Pass that can only be bought with real money.. The greed.

And also, messing up the AoO. I already lost all interest once I heard about the upcoming changes. Not going to play anymore. I'm done. People can't collect their obols once the mode is on pause, meaning that the players that do want to continue playing, they need to use passes to bye Obols and Drachmas. I guess Ubisoft is really pushing for them to make more money, but I personally think these changes will make them way less money.

I can’t use real money to buy the key for the Appaloosa event. So I am out one getting anywhere near the top of the genetic race.

As for the Ascent changes I play it regularly depending if I need one of the 4 supporting divines they offer. I can see being able to collect obals but for drachma you need to play the game to fill up the bar to 5 games before you are able to collect a drachma. I do have a divine that drops drachma but I sure do hope there is away to determine how much you have in the amount you have so I know when they are full.

Only a small handful of players that rank high enough will get a regular top GP horse. More top GP can of course get out to more players if those winners decide to offer public covers, or team up to to create their own team, but I just wanted to clarify.

The free one is a divine.

Can't believe we're getting a battle pass in howrse

Gutted about AoO. Literally pretty much the only thing I log in for regularly these days.

Wow, another addition to the game that favors the top 5% of players who can afford to spend hours and/or money grinding away at a game.

Can't wait to end up with nothing from it.
