[Info] The Retired Coat Gallery

This thread is here to show off your Retired Coats. This is not the place to post non retired coats. **The two exceptions would be coats that have been pulled (brief discussions) and the pre release coats.

REMEMBER:

******** absolutely no sales talk, no talk about spares or how many extras of a copy you got and selling them to fund your RC habit this is just a place to talk RCs

* although links and graphics are ok on this thread, they are not allowed normally on public forums

* any negative or unkind comments on artists or coats (or anyone!) will be removed, and depending on the case, it might mean an instant forum ban.

* DO NOT use this as a place to sell your horse/coats-if you feel the need to break this rule, it will mean an instant forum ban...

** Sales ads are NOT allowed in any public forums. Asking for spare coats will now be considered a sales ad. This includes stating that you plan to sell a coat, or point out coats for sale in sales.

* Do not use this place as a spot for rants or complaints-About coats/BG/or each other.

* This is not the place to ask players to price your coats, or to ask others the worth of a coat, you can check uses on your own by hovering your mouse over the gray apple and price it from there.

* This is not the place to bring up the subject of stolen images. Keep in mind that the rules of the BP used to be very different, and many old coats are from that time.
There is not any reason to bring that up, or report the coats.

*Please do not do a coat countdown for soon to retire coats.

* Please do not post coats that are currently in the GA and have either not retired, or will never retire.

* Please do not post coat/bg combos or ask opinions on them, except following coat release.

* Some coats may be removed in the future, whether that be for problems with the coats itself or just because they're clearing room on the server to allow other coats to be uploaded - if you're buying retired coats, please keep that in mind. If you want a permanent copy, I would recommend saving the graphic to your computer

* How to discover who many uses a New GC coat will retire-There is now a coat countdown in the GA, and it will show how many have been used and how many uses there are left.

** There is now a new creations directory which shows all coats. Go to Community>>>Directories>>>Creations>>>Click more criteria, and on the left hand side is a gold and silver apple. Click the silver apple and search to see all retired coats.

* To see who created/how many uses/name/or if you have it already of a RC coat, simply click on the silver apple, and it will tell you.

*** Posting links to other player's coats is NOT allowed and can mean a forum ban.

*#*#*#* If players feel the need break the main topic rules, such as sales ads/coat countdowns/spares-you can expect an instant forum ban without any warning prior to it *#*#*#*

"A coat, I think called Little Girl, was pulled. I had it cause I thought it was adorable."

Sorry for posting this earlier...totally just realized it doesn't matter as the coat was not an RC...not sure why i didn't think of that earlier. Think i was just used to hearing about pulled coats in this topic. Silly me!

My apologies.default smiley 8-)

Seeing as it's retired, you'd have to buy a horse with it on it.

I got this messenger on the Swedish version as well and first I was thinking maybe the player's/creator's account got deleted for some reason (or maybe (s)he quit voluntarily) since a GA becomes a RC if the player quit the game. Then I though maybe a RC "disappears" if the player quit, but I guess I'm wrong. XD

Otherwise maybe the coat in some way broke the rules, and the hw-team didn't discover it before now?

(Excuse my bad English default smiley (lol))


In this case actually Bimmerd is the creator of both coats.

Ohhh sorry I didn't see that! My bad!

@Bimmerd
Didn't you get a PM or anything why? That is so weird default smiley (o)

No PM indeed (except for the PMs about the golden apples since I obviously bought my own coats for my horses), the coats were at least 2 years in the game. They sharpened(?) the rules about a year ago, so I guess it's because the creations look too similar to the reference photo used, but back in the days 90% of the creations were based on photographs and that was all cool back then (to prevent misunderstandings, they aren't traced they aren't colorpicked, I used the refs as I should, just looking at them and trying to come up with something realistic).

I expect more coats to be removed (probably some of mine, probably creations of others). I am sorry guys. If I knew this would be a future problem I would have never submitted them.

(sorry for spamming in this topic, I really love seeing everyone showing off their well earned retired coats, and hopefully all those beautiful coats will stay on howrse default smiley (a))

Guess you made them too realistic then. Shame on you. (default smiley ;))
No I'm jk, I think it's so sad that they are removed. I loved these coats :/ But people on my server have had that problem too actually, making "too" realistic coats, so the hw-team believe they were copied in some way, or drawn "of" a photo and censured them (before they entered the game though).

These are stunning! Makes me what to start collecting again default smiley xd


Must resist the urge
Oh I'm so sad about this one being removed. I really loved itdefault smiley :'(

I'm surprised you haven't been told why they were removed - I would drop a line to contact us for clarification on why they were removed.

Thanks for the advice, the ticket is sent and I hope to have some clarification next week (too bad this happened on a friday) default smiley (y)
Thank you all for the kind words and the love for these coats. Hopefully I can make some new coats that will never get into trouble (and might retire at some point), after I know more about these removed horsies default smiley (a)
What sad news those two coats got removed, I had them as well, I love your coats Bimmerd. If you will be accused of tracing or anything like that though I would suggest to definitely defend your case in Contact us. You are a great artist and I know you wouldn't break any rules such as tracing. The down side of being a too great artist!

I always tell players to use different kind of references though, for example one for the head of the horse, one for the legs, etc. So it never looks like 1 photo. I was glad to see your other coats were still on the game at least!

It's great they take care of the Black Pearl and the art aspect of the game, but it seems a bit strange if they would force new rules on old creations, if those rules weren't in place at the time of submitting and accepting the creation to the game. They don't do it either with the PreCS coats. If they would start doing this, it's honestly a bit scary. Of course I am 100% for a coat being pulled if it is breaking any rules, and I know there will always be a bit of a risk with collecting coats. I just hope they won't start pulling tons of coats from years like 2013-2014 etc..

Anyway we don't know yet why they got pulled, I hope you get a reply soon Bimmerd.


A GA only becomes an RC if the creator their account is deleted if it is a PreCS coat, it doesn't count for the GAs who are compatible with the Helios Ray. Just for info. default smiley :)

It's really sad to see those two coats go. They were lovely, and I even had a second copy of one of them.
I'm also bummed out about only getting Golden Apples as compensation.... It seems a bit like getting a fifth element in compensation for someone deleting your metal winged unicorn.
