I would say that it's going to start after all of the TC
By Retired breeder, 16th February 2015 16:20:47
I read it starts in March.

It's possible- but we probably won't know until either a new testing session starts (or something starts on Preprod)

Considering that two servers had a note stating that:

Click to display
The Great Challenge would be put on hold until sometime in March to allow for more room to test things out with less clutter


My guess is we'll have at least a month's wait before we know anything.

And spoiler wise - here's a little more information Ow posted about the new feed system and fodder:

Click to display
Taken from the Preprod Change Log:

Feeding your horse

Feeding your horse is done using only the feed action. This action will give more energy than before.

The prestige value of the meadows owned by the equestrian center in which your horse is boarded gives you a share of fodder for free. If fodder is provided by the equestrian center, the fodder taken from the meadows will not be taken from storage.

Seasons also define how much free fodder you can get: for instance, you will receive more fodder for free in the spring than in the winter.

The food sliders are the only method available now, so that you can see how much food will be taken from your inventory and how much will be provided by the equestrian center, be it from meadows or from storage.

Ow's reply to clear up some confusion as players could not quite tell if they were using Free fodder (that provided by EC meadows and/or EC stock) or their own inventory) - and also as to why Feeding will now be done with Slider only. This is Ow's reply (complete with pictures):

So to clarify things a little default smiley :)

When the slider is in blue it's free.



Sometimes the slider can be totally blue when the EC your horse is in is offering the full monty and the meadows are also giving a large amount.



Concerning the drop down, i can't remember the precise figures but the majority of players use the slider and a small percentage use the drop down.
(found old statistics => 83% of players were using the slider in January)
The drop downs are slowly fading out of use because they require more actions than the slider and aren't as easy to use on mobile platforms.
For instance players using a tablet will have less trouble with the slider than with the drop down feature.

Wait.. but doesn't that mean we all basically get autofeed?
By katiedingo, 16th February 2015 17:19:21
It still looks like you pick the amount.

Ugh to sliders - I don't use them on either my tablet or laptop as it's impossible with my callus-y fingertips to select what I want (touchscreen laptop). Takes me about three or four attempts to tap the right thing. This is going to send me nuts.

Funcats - Auto feed you only have to click on feed then the green feed button - the amounts are already pre-selected. With the new change you still have to select amounts before pressing the green 'feed' button (unless you have autofeed perk, obviously)

If we all get autofeed, it'll be great. At this point, VIPs get so many cool features that it might be okay for Owlient to roll it to everyone.
By ShorahNagi, 16th February 2015 17:30:57


Sorry, but that's the way its going to be (you can still use the drop down for Rides, etc).




...This is actually why I've started doing the following:

For my horses who require more precise actions (like my Winds and Solars who have their routines to get max. gain from rides, my Divines who give UFOs, etc) - I use a computer as it's a wider screen.

For my horses who are "Diamond Mines" - I use the App. Version because:

1. It has automatic competition entry (a simple one-click to enter a comp)
2. The amount of food is per-selected (So all I need to do is hit the confirm button

This both speeds up my process, while allowing me to work with new features in a way I am comfortable with

Will we still be able to dis select the slider in the my account section?
I can not stand the slider, it makes feeding so much harder. I prefer the drop down menu, which i been using forever. May take a while to get used to...

I actually find this funny, because my touchscreen laptop, it's almost impossible to use the drop down feed menu, because my hands are all callous-y from tying my skates (I feel like I spelled tying wrong... did I?)

For other actions (Rides, training, etc) - Yes

In the future yes probably but I doubt it'll be any time soon as they only recently were put on the game, we'd have the seasonal divines before the prehistoric ones came up.

I'm sorry if this has been asked already, but in response to ShorahNagi's spoiler about the feeding system, is there a way to tell (when you are registering for an EC) if it provides full fodder/full oats?


Thank you in advance!
