New features

The manual collection for daily log in equus is a nuisance for all, but far worse for newer players, who may still be finding their way around the game.
These are the players who truly NEED the extra equus, and being sent from pillar to post to collect it seems unnecessarily burdensome.

As for the background....meh. I prefer it to the last one, anyway.

anyone else notice they've seemed to have stopped sending pms about the new dev's corners. we didn't get one for this and didn't for the last one either.

I don't care about the 100e. and wouldn't bother collecting it but I don't want to stare at the notification that I need to check that tab. and if I'm going to check it I might as well collect it.

on another note. anyone else think they changed the promos where good stuff is in luck items from only happening on weekends to happening whenever the game wants to put them up is so people don't get to use their free HOP from objectives to possibly get something good. all the HOP promos since the change have been in the middle of the week.

It seems that way to me also. I played for a while and it seems the actual horse pages aren't as bad,(or I'm getting used to it) But overall it is playing havoc with my eyes

I'm not impressed with the new daily privilege collection, Why would they want to make the game more awkward for players, I mean we still have Emma being very patronizing and very condescending for older players, and now we have to manually accept privileges instead of automatically getting them, Not much of a privilege if you need to go find it, and I am assuming we will lose them if we don't collect every day.

Very disappointing update. again Why. Please stop fixing things that aren't broken, don't fix them, it's okay.

The last few HoP offers started on Monday, which still allows for use of the objective HoP. I can always get my HoP by Saturday, but I just leave it uncollected until Monday.

It is rather annoying that the offers have moved to Monday, because I'm so used to just opening my HoP straightaway on Saturday after doing my objectives, but I just wanted others to be aware that you can save your objective HoP for the offer. Saving it doesn't interfere with getting new daily objectives.

I don't like the new background with horses at all. It is too busy and distracting, colors are very vibrant. It could be a good thing but surely not for a background! Even if you remove the horses, it is too bright.
And the quality of the art itself is a disappointing. Visuals were much better a few years ago.

Legacy Ann I ever thought about that until now. Good idea. It then may mean not getting passes for Sunday. I never done this before.

I guess I won't be getting the Wealth Privilege any more. I keep asking you to make things more accessible for disabled players, and this makes it less accessible.

The new background makes me unclear on who has a H Ray and who doesn't.

How do I receive the new "Privilege" ? Don't see it in the Emporium, like the Breeder's wealth & Eternal Wealth Privileges. I read the letter today, visited the Emporium, but am not seeing a tutorial.

The emporium is an annoying change, I understand it's to try and drive people to look at purchase offers and buy things, but the measly equus doesn't make it feel worth it :/ It's also really annoying that the equus/pass spend history has been pushed to the bottom.

I like the new BMI background! For the new default background, I think it looks nice, but may be a bit too busy for most regular pages (especially horse care pages). The basic meadow was simple and placed emphasis on the horse itself, which I liked. The new background fits the equestrian center pages nicely though (imo).

Yep, you still get objectives and your passes for the days you hold on to it. It used to block you from getting new objectives until you opened the HoP, but they changed that a couple of years ago. Also, if you forget to grab your HoP at all, it will automatically open on Tuesday when the meter resets. You'll get a PM telling you what the contents areIt's at the bottom of the Emporium page. You can either scroll down, or click "privileges" on the left side menu and it auto scrolls down there

I can see the the Breeder's Wealth & Eternal Wealth Privileges on the bottom of the Emporium page, but I am not seeing the NEW Privilege. Sorry If I was unclear before.

Looks like they did fix the eternally-on red notif, so I'm happy about that, at least. Isn't great though that the ONLY positive from the whole update is a bug fix.

I don't think there is a new privilege, unless you mean the Olympus one that's mentioned on the change log page? That's an old one, probably from an old Cards event. I'd have to look

Love the new background. Thanks!

whoever is playing the role of Ow at the moment do yourself & us players a favour, FIRE the DEVS, every single one of em.

all they've done in recent months is make stupid changes that CLEARLY have not gone down well with the people that pay your wages, even when the testers told em the changes would be a BIG mistake, or are you actively trying to sabotage the game so we all leave?

there are enough things wrong with the game, especially after the last several months, try fixing what the players DON'T like instead of giving us new reasons to want to leave, it's like the devs are sick of being employed & want/need a break, give em what they seem to be begging for and hire someone who actually LISTENS to us players, have em start by rolling back the changes made in the last 4-5 months & go from there and i'll consider buying passes again (something i stopped doing in protest at the recent attitude of admin),

we don't need to be constantly bombarded with luck item offers all week, we don't need more divines that offer second rate rubbish as "prizes", we don't need you constantly making stupid (and seriously UNWANTED) changes to the way we navigate thru the game,

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

hi! I just wanted to say the people deciding the changes are likely not the devs! developers are probably just coding whatever their management directs them to make ;-_-

doing something stupid when you've already been TOLD by the testers that it's a BAD idea is wrong whether you do it yourself or do it because you were TOLD to do it,

amounts to the same thing in my eyes, they care more about getting paid than doing the right thing and for that need a break

i feel like you're misunderstanding how much power a developer really has and what a developer does in most companies

in that case, firing the devs wouldn't even do anything, they'd just be replaced with devs who would follow what management tells them to do. and of course the devs want be paid, they need to eat and probably aren't willing to risk that for a browser game. they're just doing the grunt work of programming, not making business decisions.

for an analogy, in a store, lets say the aisle organization was changed to something really stupid. in that case, you shouldn't be convincing the store stocker to place items in a different place, you need to be having a conversation with the manager of the store to change the layout.

T.T i forgot howrse replaces emoticons with emojis, imagine that's a : (

Yeah, it definitely isn't the devs making the management decisions rolling out here. All the recent developments have been extremely money-hungry and I can't think of a single recent one that felt like it was made with the playerbase in mind. All of which would be management trying to raise their profit margin.

I dunno how long the game will be running, though. You can't MAKE money without players, and if people keep quitting like they have eventually there's just not going to be anything left. But as I've said already, holding the privs hostage for a daily (unnecessary since it was already IN the promotional box) advertisement isn't the way and is just another example of the above.

The background I think is ok. First I thought it came with hestia but if people like it they might buy less helios rays.

I miss portrait mode. I haven't been on as much without portrait mode but I won Hestia on international
