Czech Republic, Italian and Bulgarian servers

Does anyone know when the new Balios will be released?

Thank you! What is the point of the pass horse thing? All it will do is decrease many player's income and, from what I am seeing on here, make them loose quite a few "elder" players.

Pass horse update for testing servers has been postponed to 9.11.2016
Reason is unknown.

i dont make any income from pass horses, i,m an 'elder' player and im going nowhere. Especially not loose .

I'm calling it the T__D__(Tree decorating promo for short)
It takes 48 hours to get a tree from the Divine forest

Tree from the first forest takes 6 hours
The horse statue thing you see in the bottom of this prize list is said to be a decoration for another tree. So you have to decorate a tree to get a decoration. Don't know what tree(s) that decoration is for yet

This forest will take 12 hours to fetch

This one takes 24 hours to fetch a tree

these are the changes compared to last year



Tree decorations

This section begins a week after the calendar. The principle remains the same, but there were many adjustments since last year.

The purpose of the event is to choose fir forests in specific, to bring them back, wait and then decorate them to win gifts associated with these trees.


What has changed since the last time?

- There is a tutorial

- The stage where you must select the horses that will search the tree is gone, to simplify **from what someone said, you just select a forest then a tree, simple as that. No choosing horses to fetch it this year**

- The firs selection page has been adjusted to a more easy to understand interface (you can see directly what gift is related to the tree, for example)

- Community fir: All versions have completely decorated fir their community trigger a UFO operation until the end of the contest.

- There is always a chance of getting a partially decorated tree => we added a pop-up to make it less discreet **haven't seen a picture of this, so I'm not quite sure what is meant by the added pop-up**

- At the end of each trip (excluding those divine fir), there is a chance that the horses participating in the trip are a divine tree on their way. The change is that the player then gets the divine tree in addition to the one he had wanted to start => Again, we adjusted things to make it less discreet

- The decoration of probabilities have been adjusted to be more balanced compared to last year

- At certain times of the competition, it will be possible to buy packs of the black market decorations (instead of decorations in cornucopias) which will contain 10 decorations for 1 pass. The decorations are random, but the probability was very adjusted since last year

- At the end of the contest, a draw is made among the players who got at least two gold chains during the competition to offer the divine horse Cernunnos to some of them.

It's posted in the above spoiler that

So HoPs will be worthless for this unfortunately unless the players on Preprod can get Howrse to change their minds. There went my idea of getting Balios in this promo unless he's pretty cheap to get. But it does say "probability has been adjusted so... Sorry for the rant

-I didn't see when the divine forest is open. Last year we either had to decorate X trees to open it or wait until Christmas Eve or Day.
-I didn't find anything about what decorations are needed for each tree, or even the divine trees
-I didn't see any pass estimates
-I don't know what trees will use that horse statue decoration from the prizes spoiler
-no further details on Advent Calendar or when Snowball fight starts
So we'll have to wait for more info. As we get more I'll try and add it to a masterpost

I hope that howrse decides to change the decoration packs back to decorations in hops like last year, fingers crossed

I sure hope they do put the decorations back in the horns, as there was nothing wrong with that, and I only went crazy during that promo as there was a chance to get some nice goodies along the way.

Can somebody explain the proposed new pass horse changes to me

Ok, so basically what they're doing in test servers, and in 3 regular servers is taking away the ability to earn passes through horses to heaven. To buffer it, you can earn a pass every 3 days through taking care of your horses. To buffer the old horses dying, they are putting out a new tree-themed divine that "grows" with each horse that dies, and are adding horses to heaven/ horses put in the SH to the factors for the General Rankings
