[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 *#*#*#*

I mean.... howrse themselves have said on multiple occasions that they hand pick what gets accepted and what doesn't. I'm sure votes count to some degree, but the coats that ultimately get through are chosen by Howrse.

It's another large release. About 4 pages worth of limited coats in the directories.

I'm on my phone now, otherwise I'd post them.

Remember the early days when we had to go in blind? Thankfully it didn't take long for someone to realize that they could look them up on Howrse accounts from other countries where the release already happened because the the time difference. I still have never gotten a French account, but I really should.

hat makes you think Howrse "cherry pick"? The coats that get through voting are the ones that are released. They can't release everything after all.


Taken from the official discord,
" We also take images that are less popular in the votes but have personality, are surprising or funny to offer a varied, original and culturally rich panel to our communities"

I enjoy more stylized coats and baby artist getting through, my first coat was like that. But I personally feel like voting no longer takes into account of what the player base wants unfortunately.

No shade to the coats that got through this month its more of a criticism on the management.

I'm sorry, is THIS why so many gorgeous coats don't make it through?? What a joke, players really don't get a say in anything. I think it's time I back out.

Thanks for sharing those. Those first six are amongst the nicest additions in a very long time. A much better quality release than normal with at least 8/10 coats I'd actually choose to use if unlimited.

Shame there's so many, and I have literally zero passes so it will be what I can get in the bun fight and only that.

I would argue it never did!

I gave up voting eons ago because I got the same non appealing coats day after day, sometimes the same one appearing multiple times in one voting session, so why bother voting if you get such a limited pool to vote on. I never understood how it was fair to all or why certain coats were so prolific in the voting rounds, well seemingly anyhow.


Why not just select x amount from the submitted coats in each category? There was a rumour the Russian players had found a way to manipulate the voting some years ago, and since the same old creators get through each round anyhow it wouldn't make much difference if people did vote for their friends, in my humble opinion.

Creation space is a broken s system full stop. Hate it!

Seems pretty chill for me. Most of what I would want are 200-300 so I shouldn’t have to worry or get up in the middle of the night for the rest

Every account with the perk is limited to 1 of each copy at the early release, so at least 50 people will get the 100 copies, so I'm not sure how only "a few" will get the coats?

Am I the only person that doesn't like the new coats this month? Although, since I'm leaving, I guess my opinion is not of too much importance default smiley :p

I think one of the beautiful things about art is that it can be appreciated in so many different ways. Some will hate it, some will love it. That's the nature of self expression so I think there will always be a wide range of opinions on the coats created. default smiley (l) I personally really love at least 3 of the coats released which is pretty average for me in comparison to past releases. Such a bummer to hear though that voting doesn't truly decide what creations get in. I had no idea!

That's fair. There are definitely a couple of coats I do like this month. I think I'm being harsher because last month had some gems. Especially that butterfly WyGy coat default smiley (7)

Honestly this release hasn't impressed me either.
Some of them are great, but most are take it or leave it for me. Which is great on all sides, because I save passes, and other players have less competitors while trying to get the coat they want default smiley (lol)
