The new pass system is awful.That's 3 time less passes than we were allowed to get with pass horses, and 3 time more work to get them I can bear with different actions to be done to earn passes instead of aging pass horses, but not with minigames (I've been tired of them even when they run 2 weeks once a year or a half of a year, and now we'll have to do them all the time) and the fact that the monthly passes were reduced 3 times.

If I may be honest they are hardly "free" passes as you have to

1, work on a horse over time and age it to 30 to Heaven

or

2, save up a ton of equus and buy a pass horse in sales.

Both of these require a good deal of work so it is hardly "free" as they do require work and is more like an exchange.

We tried to write them in person and not just in forum, and its quite sure that we cannot change it.
In fact, they told me that killing horses in other's person account is the reason for this change and its not fair for everyone. After this change, all players have equal conditiones as the other players.

Because they probably couldnt take care for their horses to become the pass horses. Because our pass horses just appeared on our accounts and we are constraining other players to kill them and they have to take the reward for it... Poor players

Oh, and they believe it wouldn't be so drastic change and we are going to adapt . And we surely find the other way how to adapt our strategy in game (Before they cancel it again)

"Oh, and they believe it wouldn't be so drastic change and we are going to adapt . "

Oh yeah, 10 passes per month instead of 30 isn't a drastic change :/ And by "adapting" they mean buying passes instead of earning them through gameplay, I suppose? Really, why not, just spend more cash and adapt :/

I'm a loyal player who usually doesn't object any changes and sees them as a natural evolution of the game, but this one is the most major pass balance change since the moment when they changed the system of GA retirement. Obviously, the game is in decline and the revenues are in decline as well just because Howrse exists for a very long time already and lacks innovative technologies and gameplay. But reducing the number of "free" passes per month isn't a solution that will help Ubisoft to earn more money. Those who can buy 30+ passes per month are already doing that. Those who can't won't start. But the fact that a lot of loyal players will lose interest in the game is a predictable consequence of this change. Such changes can be understandable only with the major revamp of game balance and making it 3 times less "pay-to-win" than it is now.

Yeah, they do not understand the fact, that the people who knew how to make passes without buying them is not going to change to be a person who buys them. It just make them upset and actually make them trying to figure out how to make the passes again or they just quit. But they dont care about this kind of players, because they arent making any money for them.
And for the new player it is quite stimulant to make a multi account. Like "Oh I can have 1 pas per 3 day ... If I had 3 accounts, its 3 passes per 3 day, so i can have 1 pas every day... Who cares its forbidden, i can have passes from that ! ... Another point is, that it was easiest to get the money from newplayers by buying passes. Now they dont have reason when they got it for free.

This change is the way how tu upset everyone except the people who dont know how to play this and they are excited that they can get something "for free"
Most sad thing about this is their sentense "We do care about your opinion" ... No, they actually dont.

I totally agree, the only people who are really going to be affected, if you can still get 10-30 passes per month "free" through the new system, are those who abused it - e.g. teams/players who use multi accounts to feed pass horse passes through.

I never needed 30 passes.

I haven't gotten the free one we used to get by the equus reserve in a long time. Now 1 get one.

So whatever comes I can work with it.

Any news what exactly is this 'divination' or whatever?

If they want the passes so badly, they will work the horses for it. They may just split their horses between their multiple accounts. If it's anything similar to the '1 free pass every 300 points' system right now, I only AP farm and participate in promos on most days and I usually get the 10 points daily. Either way, they are still going to get the passes if they want them so badly, aren't they?

It seems to me that this new system of free passes will make it easier to fish out multi-accounters. Instead of a second account purchasing 1 horse a month for lots of passes, some players may be impatient and sell a horse to their second account every three days to get the pass. It just seems like there will be more transactions between accounts, and in this way Howrse can look at the accounts involved and try to determine if someone is multi-accounting. With the current system, they probably skip over a lot of multi-accounters who only do one horse sale between the two (or more) accounts every month or so.

I'm neither for nor against this change yet. If all I have to do is take care of some horses, post in the forums, and work in my EC for a free pass every 3 days, I can get rid of a TON of AP horses that I don't even need. It would be much easier on me if I didn't need to try and age 70 horses a month to 30 and send them to heaven to try and get 30 passes. It's not very pleasing that the free passes will go from 30 to 10 a month, but perhaps Howrse will implement a feature so that the extra-hard working players can get the additional 20 passes.

AP's and AP farmers then. The reason people AP farm is to age horses up to obtain passes or sell them to people who want pass horses. Some divines give APs as a perk - I wonder if that will change.

Not necessarily, I need AP to blup for my competitive team and my personal team as well as my unicorn breeding project. I have a pass horse that is almost ready to be considered 30 so I will be sending her shortly to get the free pass.

is that you kill two birds with one stone. It makes AP farming more bearable that way as I know I'll eventually get a pass out of the horse. Grant it, I do have an immortal, H.Blanketed farm of horses I don't have to board, so those are quicker to care for, but it's taking a long time to collect immortals and H.Blankets.

And supposedly this tree divine is acquired by sending 10 pass horses to Heaven and I think I read that it grows when you send 10 off again. I'm guessing only 10 is allowed every month. We'll have to wait to hear more on him though. Maybe passes will grow on trees?

I guess it's just about the Celtic religion. The horse will use his powers everytime, he wakes up and with this "power", he'll give you 3 Ogham letters.

I've seen the last few messages about new pass horse rules, but I don't know what they are. Could someone please tell me what's going on? I would prefer a PM. I don't mind spoilers.
