Legacy Ann:
Yeah, that's true. I'm from czech version and this game change was so devastating. It completely ruined economy on our server, 'cause old horses at the age of 30+ are useless. We used to pay with them for things from the black market that we were buying from other players. On the 8th November it's gonna be the first anniversary of Yggdrasil coming to the game.
Tbh, I have got the pass from the meter for three days only twice since last november. It's like a lottery. You never really know, how many points you will receive for your activity. It's full of problems and bugs.
For example:
1st day- /hurray/ you were her for about 5 hours, you did almost everything which is possible and you received 10 points.
2nd day- /are you kidding me?/ you did same things as yesterday and something extra (e.g. you bought passes for real money or you bought something expensive from the black market) and you got only 4points. Do you think that this is fair?
3rd day- /something maybe changed/ you just came here, posted something to the forums, made an exchange. It all took about 10 minutes and you earn 9 points.
You may have pass per every three day. Really? So where it is? Oh, I forgot, you must play really hard another day. But maximum points, that you can get is 7. Why? Because points aren't transferred. Once you've reached 30 points limit, you cannot receive another. So even if you get more then seven points, you will never see them next day- they just dissapear.

You should be so grateful that it didn't come to the international server. But I reckon it's absolutely unfair to have it on only 4 from 26 servers.
Players' reactions to this change are so negative even it's almost year from commissioning.
Only few players are good with it, but most of us are against of it.

Ow, leader of our version, said that we can give him our tips how to make this stupid system better to use, but he never responsed. He pretends being a dead beatle.

This system should be everyone's nightmare.

So I'm curious if anyone has posted or can provide information on the Tree decorating promotion I've seen mentions of, along with info on the Holiday packs and the new Christmas divine! As always, thanks in advance!

How? There is no way how to receive 10 passes from this meter per month. Usually you get about 7 or 8, if you you worked hard. And if you wanna pay vip,
you have to save your passes. No buying horses, no competing in promos, no divines.

Looks like no Balios in the ultimate pack?
We always have a Balios there?

I'm in total awe about the Hippogriff, but sorely sad to see the lack of a Balios

The Olympus Pack says "a mythological divine of your choice" and Balios is in that lot isn't he?

Also, this is what it says on the Teeny Pack banner

So the new Falabella unicorn is called Maly? Unless that has not yet been translated.

Yes seems like it will be called mały, which is polish for little so it fits right into the Falabella theme!

Can anyone screenshot all of the christmas packs, and does it show the prices yet?

The name is Mały and just like other names mean 'little' in different languages,
this one means little in Polish language

We don't have prices yet, and can't yet see the details of the contents

Balios is in that category of divine yes. So we should be good there.

That ultimate pack holds a ton of shiny stuff. Going to be costly for sure.
I cannot stop staring at the Hippogriff picture.

I better go tend to RL stuff

Does anyone know the perks for the new divines?

I was scared for a minute, I planned on getting a Balios this year so I'm glad he's included in that specific divine group! This is the first year that I'm buying a Christmas pack so I'm excited to see what the new divines perks will be.

A bit of a risky Design choice unless you want to be sued by Marvel...

This is from the Change Log on preprod. Keep in mind, this was from the test server, not everything is set in stone until we see it here on the live version.

Not sure if this needs a spoiler or not, but does anyone know the recipe for the double-sided medalion?

I'm absolutely in love with the xmas packs! I better stop myself from buying it all

That's precisely my point -- nowhere else does Loki wear that helmet, which is precisely what make it fan art. Again, go look at older art and the literature -- the helmet doesn't exist until Marvel. Hence, it's fan art.

It isn't about the long horns in and of themselves. It's about them appearing on Loki, who only has them in Marvel. Which is not at all an appropriate or accurate comparison to Thor and MeowMeow, because he has that hammer all along, for centuries back. Sorry, but I can't possibly agree with you. It's fan art because Loki is not depicted anywhere with that type of headgear until Marvel. Hence, it's fan art. If it existed *in*
*connection* *specifically* with Loki all along, then it wouldn't be. Thor's hammer isn't fan art because he's always had that, since long before anyone invented the modern comic book -- unless one wanted to take the potentially valid tack that the comic books are therefore all fan art of the original character from the Norse stories. It's not an invalid point.
But it's not remotely what I'm saying about Loki and that helmet. Besides, anyone knows that Vikings didn't have the stereotype helmet anyway.

It's Howrse, they'll do as they please and craft an excuse for why it's okay, and it doesn't alter the fact that I like both horses. But it's always amusing to see them play do-as-we-say-not-as-we-do, and they're notorious for it.

so what's happening with the new BLUPing rules and or method. I've red back a few pages and seen what was there but still couldn't make heads or tails of it as he

sorry about the last bit of my last post. It seems my phone has decided to add some extra words probably my fault as it usually is

A 100% blupped horse get's a higher GP than a lower one.
Currently it's possible to get a horse to 70 BLUP if you bold the top 3 skills, even if you cannot get any wins. With the change the 70 will be 60% BLUP.

More and more breed at lower than 100% BLUP so Howrse has decided to reward those players that BLUP to 100%. With the change horses bred from 100% BLUP'ed stock will get higher GP gain.

I hope one of the divine is a Hippogriff - friend speculates it will be a companion.
Any thoughts?
