I've been hating all the new changes lately. First the pass bought every thirty days, now the pass horse changes - I have approaching big exams, and due to study, I only have two hours of free time a day, and if Howrse thinks I'll spend them on being a "loyal player" they're so wrong. /

**PASS HORSES CHANGE, NEW RANKINGS, INTRODUCING NEW DIVINE**

The changes will be applied on 8.11.2016 (November) > Only on few servers CZ, IT

1) You can earn one pass per 3 days, through loyalty pass player.

**NEW DIVINE YGGDRASIL**

Hi
we already announced, that there'll be system update for pass horses. The change will be in 8th November.

Today we want to introduce you new Divine horse, his name is Yggdrasil.

Yggdrasil is new Divine horse. You can get him, through sending 10 horses, those are more than 25 years old to the heaven. Only one action, you can do with him is giving him tree-rings to make him older. (Dendrochronology, find on google, if you still don't know what's that.) For each tree-ring, he'll get older by 1 year.
For each horse sent to heaven, that will be older than 25 years, you'll gain one tree-ring.
While progressively aging him, his appearance will change. Once you'll change his appearance, you'll gain access to photo album, where you can see all of his apearences already opened. (Gained)

You'll have chance, for each first visit (one daily) ,to get a seed, for which you'll be able to get 10 tree-rings, for horse sent to heaven, that will be more than 25 years old.

I wasn't aware there would also be a ranking for horses sold to SH.
If this is Howrse's way of trying to reduce the number of throwaway horses clogging up the game, there are better ways to do it than rather morbid rankings. For example, people would far more likely to send horses to SH if it was more profitable to do so; at the moment, SH is an immediate loss of at least 200e for normal horses if using public covers (minimum 500e cover + 100e vet fee), and if using our own stallions it is only (barely) profitable if we have less than 40k (at which point it is a 400e vet fee and breaking even at best) - meanwhile, horses in the direct sales at 1,000e (more than double SH's offer) get snapped up so fast the page barely has time to load. The only horses remotely worth sending to SH right now are uni fails, and even then it depends on how high the vet fee is.

I also don't see the point in a ranking that counts the number of horses you have managed to kill before they reached 25. If you kill a horse before 25, it means you are doing something *wrong* with that horse's care - there is no other reason a horse under 25 will lose health. Playing a game badly is not something that should be rewarded in any way. It also takes zero effort to kill off horses of any age; bed them down without doing any actions (or do mission+bed to cover boarding fees), repeat for a couple of days, and there you go, one dead horse. How does that deserve a ranking?

So this new divine doesnt even give you anything? He just ages? OOh wow yeah going to just throw away all my horses for nothing

I think it's been said that it's all we know of him so far, but it has been implied that he will have some additional function

A promo would be a temporary help - provided they were asking for dud horses people use for AP farming, not valuable horses that people would be annoyed at having to part with (we already have enough dehorn and dewing promos without devaluing more horses) - but they may be looking for a more long term solution. If they introduce a feature that makes it more beneficial to your game to send throwaway horses to heaven/put them in SH than it is to keep them, then it will help keep the numbers of horses down more permanently.

The problem is, having thousands of random low quality horses in your breeding farm is better for your ranking than only having two or three high quality horses. Plus, a lot of people rely on AP farming for APs for their breeding projects (especially on competitive breeding teams, where you either need a lot of AP or a lot of MA for doing several blups a day), as farming is by far the most cost effective way of gathering lots of AP (plus money/resources from missions, dropping which can be sold etc.). They are also good for filling/clearing comps, make a few quick equus from comps, having for trophy purposes etc..

Basically, there are a lot of advantages to having hundreds/thousands of cheap horses sitting in your breeding farm, and three monthly rankings (that many people feel dubious about anyway) and a useless new divine are hardly an appealing alternative. If they want us to cut down on the number of horses we have, they need to make it actually beneficial to our game to do so, not try and placate us with "because look at the shiny shiny".

If this isn't about trying to encourage us to cut down the number of horses we have sitting about, then I honestly have no idea why they thought *three* (as though one wouldn't be bad enough) rankings for getting rid of horses was a good idea.

the Greyfell card is *not* cumulative

The really nice thing about having a farm and raising your own cows is to get leather.. leather to whips/etc.. whips to trade on exchange. To take away these items as trade items rather spoils the process.
