@Spyder regarding the next promo



@haylaybaylay yes that is correct. Right now it's the only way to get Epona.
If Howrse decides to offer her in another promo at a later date remains to be seen.

Well.. kinda. You can win a treasure chest in Titans challenge. Last year on the swedish server I opened 150 or so TCs to get one to get the divine. I want all divines but I don't have any money to use on the game so it was the only way for me lol. The TC will be available soon (within like 2 months) with the release of the gemstones and wilds so that's kind of a way to get Epona.

Treasure chests can be found on level 6 and 7. Dunno if they're found on level 8, I've only gotten divines or like 20 BMIs when I've gotten there.

Now this is obviously a long shot and not a reasonable solution for most lol

From what I have been able to see. I have the divine on the test server and am testing it.

@Spyder that's interesting

@Epona's Loyalty

You mentioned something called an 'Isis Bonus' when discussing how much you could sell HG unis for. What is this?

Thank you

Question. :

@ J.31

EDIT:

By owning isis:
Isis is a divine mare of fertility created by players who attended the World Equestrian Games 2014 with us

Thanks to Isis, when you cover a (non-divine) mare as the first covering of the day on the 1st day of each month (after the daily update), she can give birth to between 3 and 5 identical foals.
This perk does not stack if you have several Isis.
This mare cannot be sold.

you can also increase it to the possibility of 6 foals by adding a fertility wand

Oh where, oh where is the oh where, oh where could it be?

I honestly thought it would have started days ago.

Well, then, i won't get many passes at all, since many of them are things i can't or won't do. No chance at a GP or top 100 in anything. Seems to me that this makes sure that only the higher echelon players will be able to get all of these done. Won't dehorn, won't sell, don't breed many horses, buy even fewer/.

i've been burned out on this game before, gotten very angry with some of the mods, but now, i just don't care. Didn't bother coming here and don't want to. it's getting to be a chore and no fun anymore. And i'm not alone because I noticed i'm going up in rank again which means those better than me are quitting. Same thing with my seniority.

Now that i know that i have no chance of getting my lowly one pass per month, i am going to cut WAY back on playing.

Since I never spent real money (OK, i bought 2 passes at the end of a promo because I was so close) i don't have the Sunk Cost Effect and it's not that hard to just walk away. if I come across a game that wants me there and has the artwork of this place, I'm outta here.

is excited

I personally think this list is bunk. It looks like a list of every action that can be done on Howrse and a scare tactic to me. I reserve judgement until we actually get this and is the very reason why I think that when you discuss something that is not released or is not confirmed you are talking in a vacuum and will only expire a lot of smoke that vanishes when it hits clear air.

I don't think it's fair to call the list bunk as obviously a certain amount of these actions will be required to achieve the points needed. However, will a certain amount be needed to be done from certain categories....that will be a wait and see, as well as, it may be very hard to tell.

Hmmm...expelling smoke? (not expiring) I also feel it is perfectly acceptable to talk about something that has already been introduced to other Howrse games and been confirmed that it will be coming here. Yes, I wrote to Contact over a month ago and they said, at that time, it would be coming here.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that they will tweak it in some way that we do not lose our "Loyal Player" pass. A girl can only hope.

It's been confirmed by an Admin post in this topic as well and I've seen screenshots of players who sent in inquiries to contact us about it.

Only reason I've gotten slightly tired of it myself is that every time we get a discussion going about ways they could potentially adjust it if they really did want to implement it we get told that we should be grateful we get free passes at all and then it derails. It makes trying to have an actual conversation about it exhausting.

It's a good thing it's been discussed really as there are quite a few players that don't understand the current system as it is.

Look there are an average of 30 days in a month, even if we don't get 10 points day -- you still get some by just playing, on the US server, I get 9-10 easily.
Now I realize we don't have the new numbers yet, but so far,so good --- perhaps we as players have gotten used to the free passes without having to really p!ay the game ,--
so we do not get all those passes by just aging horses anymore -- if you like the game and do other things besides get pases, the game is still fun -- no, I am not ever going to be a top 10 breeder, on any server, but I am having fun -- this change will not phase me, because I never depended on the free passes in the first place

Good point. I'd say that it's more about clearing the air if someone is blowing smoke, as outlined by orwell in his essay, politics and the english language. google it. That is the only reason that I come to the forum, to learn from other players. The first thing one must learn is DISCERNMENT and realize that some folks are better sources than others, and are more helpful. When i was a newb, i appreciated the veterans who would see me posting something silly and pM me to tell me IN PRIVATE that I was ignorant, and here's what you do, in a nice way, you know, like a favorite teacher.

After all, the most powerful learning tool in the martial arts is Becoming One With The Floor, and it helps if your sensei, picks you up, dusts you off, smiles and points out the error, so you don't do it again.

You never forget those lessons. Those who choose to grief other players, and I shall not mention names, but we all have those whose . ... opinions .... are not very helpful to us.

This is why, over the years, i have asked them to implement a block function. like all the other games i've played over the years.

Happy new year

All Quiet On The Western Front

ps sorry, the left shift key is wonky

Couldn't agree more with tiggrrssf sentiments - all of it.

Do you mean the number of horses you own instead of won't?

@Black Stallion
They were there from the start it just took a bit to unlock them

I agree with Lyrical. The game doesn't revolve around getting passes, they just help you. I know you will get at least one pass just by doing things around the game, so it's not like they're totally removing the chance to get passes.

We can't change their decision until it comes to this server and more people complain and whine, so enjoy the game while it is still like this.
