there's one Vigi (possibly the last? I certainly haven't been keeping track) in the auction, wondering how high he'll go considering the userbase seems pretty split on "I got him like a week ago" vs "I still haven't gotten a single diamond card yet despite paying out the nose for the dumb card packs" (me until like three days ago).

best of luck to anyone bidding, I suppose! wish this wasn't the only "celebration" for two decades of howrse, on the other hand it feels fitting for them to pit all these users against each other for what was just a few years ago a divine everyone got for free in celebration....

20 million eq was Vigi's selling price in auction this morning.

I'm very disappointed, because I don't have a chance to get the divine. All the time I had only one diamond, which I got thanks to entering the game.

That last Viginti just went for 6.9 million in directs

Pretty frustrating event, especially for something that should be celebrating howrse… I’m feeling more and more like this is not celebrating but a quick cash grab for them

I’m one diamond card away since two days spend too many passes on packs and don’t have any passes anymore, so unless there’s a way I can grab a diamond card in directs or someone buys a bunch of my horses, and I get lucky, I’ll probably miss out on the anniversary divine. Which does kinda sadden me, because I’ve been on the game for 19 years and would have loved to have him in my collection, even though he’s not worth much

I got incredibly lucky and managed to get both fireworks and viginti, but it's honestly ridiculous that there are so many people who spent more passes than I did still didn't finish it because of those diamond cards, I feel like it should be guaranteed to get the anniversary horse cause why else would you play the anniversary cards event

Yes, I feel like people's luck in the card event seems to swing one way or the other and there aren't many people who get just enough. Though there are always players who are stuck with just one left that they need - typically having shelled out tons of passes for packs. Of course, it might be because it is remarkable, so people talk about it when they have extremes of luck.

I've spent 0 passes and got Viginti, Fireworks and two Petits, but this had required some Equus spent in the flash sales and a bit of luck (found the jackpot Fireworks in the 5th TC instead of having to max out the meter, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to afford the second Petit because I'd have had to spend the diamond joker from private sales on a second set of 220 frags and not on a second puzzle for Petit)

Not 15 minutes ago there was a diamond card in direct sales. The timer was around 6 minutes when I refreshed (I had set up an alarm) so I glued myself to the screen. Mind you I was at work and my boss actually let me do this. BUT when the timer got to zero there was no card displayed. I understand, someone was faster, but I didn't even get to see it! There were times when I wasn't the fastest hand, but the card was still displayed, there was a button for me to press before it said "someone else was faster".
I don't understand how something like this would even happen. And its not something like -my internet is slow- im on 5g and everything works like a charm. Exepct that one button?.... idk... I knew there are a lot of people waiting at the same time, but also a lot of people are alseep, at work or at school now too so I really really don't understand.

I started late but was still able to slide under the wire and get Vigniti for free! I got lucky early on and ended up with enough jokers to fill in what I didn't have this morning.

Does anyone know if Fireworks will come back for another chance to get him?

He'll come back at some point, but we don't know when exactly. It usually takes several months, sometimes over a year for a divine to return (not counting the numerous pack divines that are currently still sitting in return limbo).

This anniversary event was such a bummer.

I spent way more passes than I intended to and I still didnt get Viginti.I bought many packs of cards and I only got one diamond card! One pack I bought had all bronze and I got like six copies of the same card after I already traded.

I also needed two diamonds... then the game baited me this morning and I got one. Unfortunately the event just ended and I still needed one diamond card. Really disappointing that so many players needed just one more card in a certain category to be able to complete the game, and some of those players spent a lot of money on packs too.
