New features

My success rate is 6% with 2 (!) won Obol games out of 30. My Drachma rate is 80% with 8 won out of 10. I have managed to get Nyx but I won't go for anything else. My worst season up until this point was for Demeter where my Obol success rate was 26%. It is downright a pain to play now, unless I start with ALL cards being 3* or higher, I lose.



It is also highly ironic that the original message for this thread says "We invite you to discuss and leave your feedback for each of the publications" when our voiced feedback rarely gets taken into account or even acknowledged (and once it happens, announcements are communicated on Discord). It's the same on the test server where this is stated in the Welcome-thread: "Tell us what you think of the features. It's important to us." I have been a tester for a very long time now and I feel like it's the same old dance everytime you're letting us test a bigger change; people raise concern but the change is still implemented without regards to the players opinions. Yet us players are the ones who keep the game running.

I still haven't gotten Nyx at this point, thankfully I'm "only" 250ish points away, with only two days to go... two maxed out purple cards (and a maxed orange) should NOT be getting only 80ish percent win in the second stage... TT-TT

I got Nyx because she's so pretty but it was hard work with hardly any obols rewards and used a lot of drachmas. I might be retiring now as I really don't have time for this for Divines that I never work anyway. The Gods have screwed up the competitions so badly that between them and the top team horses, a lot of the pleasure I used to get from training and competing normal horses has been wrecked.

New rankings page is fine. I was worried there was no way to see the top players anymore, and that the majority of them had been deleted but all the old pages are still accessible. And it does make sense to have it all under one tab than to have five different ones for different game areas.

I especially like that I can see my own position in each rank on one page without going to each one then clicking show my position. Today it tells me I must work on my popularity

I like the new rankings landing page and that I can see where I rank as an individual all in the one place. from Zig and Monkey

lol at them removing the option to add star ratings for the changes in this new update, just after one of the worst releases they've done for the site in recent history (even moreso than the trophy update), instead of acknowledging the situation at all. gee I wonder why they would ever have done something like that!

If you look through the Devs Corners you will see that they don't all have star ratings. It seems to be only things that are new or major changes. The smaller updates and bug fixes don't get tem.

I do not like the change of the rankings.

I do like the ranking changes.

Does anyone know where to find the team rankings? I always check the GP of the breeds I buy before I buy them, but I'm not seeing anywhere to do that now! They can't be gone, can they?

Nevermind! I found them!

Is anyone else becoming a bit disappointed overall? I think it's clearly widely agreed that the changes to Ascent have been absolutely diabolical, but I usually spend my days on here working on collecting free passes from objectives / divines and spending them on the ones in the sales or in HOPs etc. I usually have 1500 ish but I am up to 7000 with absolutely nothing worth spending them on. Where has everything gone? Why is there nothing to do anymore?

It seems if you're not willing to put actual money into the game it's become worthless. I have played this game for years, had my account for years, and I feel so let down by Howrse. Our concerns are never taken into consideration because I presume there are enough people who spend their actual hard earned money on the game to make it worth them ignoring everyone else.

If you're gonna run the game into the ground at least bring back the DA or something

Wow, two disappointments this week from two different horse games. One was Star Stable where they changed the whole trailblazer event, and now this from Howrse. I wonder if horse games got together and just decided to make horrible changes this week just for the heck of it?

I don't like the new rankings page as a way to look at rankings. I'm usually fine with having a landing page on my way to the ones that show the interesting things, but I do find it weird that so many things recently (employees page, piggy bank, rankings) are moving from being available on the main menus to being 1+ pages farther away.

Well, as usual, I'm here to remind Howrse that some of us are still upset over the trophy changes.

Most of us are also upset over the Ascent changes: look, there's even a petition to bring back the old Ascent!

hi fellow horse lovers

Excuse me, but where did several administrators go?

I'd love to see some new daily objectives. I'm kinda bored with the usual. If we can rip off the horn of our Unicorn, or slice the wings off a Pegasus, then surely we could take away their companion?

I'd love to see that option in the next Dev's corner.

This is too cruel. It's like taking a horse's little friend away.

You can already remove a companion, though? Just replace it with another companion. The reason the wings/horn removal mechanic exists is because there's no other method to do it on the game (and neither of those are currently still in the daily objectives, only special ones for events like the Grand Prix.)

You're wrong. I recently removed a unicorn's horn at Daily Objective.

Does the Pegasus one still exist? I swear one got removed and I don't think I've had that one in ages, although they're luck-based so I could have just not had it for a while.

Remove a horn still exists, but the one to remove wings was removed a couple of years ago. It was in the Change Log at the time, though too far back to see now
