@DyMistress- That's impossible Gemini's sign runs from May 21 to June 21. So, That'd be the sgin before gemini which is Taurus.

@Nalu93- He had better appear or I'm going to be really upset. I have already got the White Gemini horse and he doesn't do anything cause I need the other one. I've been saving up my passes for MONTHS to buy the black one.

@22pony22
He might not be offered...

We had Gemini last year. He was the first of my Zodiac divines and I’ve got the set now. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

It's hardly bad news, don't worry.
Zodiac horses are offered every year. Taurus, Pisces and Aries are on their third appearance so far

That’s not so bad then, but maybe it isn’t EVERY year? I say that because I came back to Howrse two years ago and didn’t see any until last year. Anyway fingers crossed it isn’t too long before they come round again.

That's because 2 years ago they were being launched in contests
Reserved sales are the best way to get Divines, so I hope they never stop the trend.

Do you guys know when the next divine will be offered in the reserved sales? Or maybe just an estimate would be great

We never know for sure, but we can make predictions.

Ok, thx so much!

With the whole hot topic of a.p's, I had a question or two

I know how it all went down and that the kinks are still being worked out and stuff, but was just curious;

The first few days of mess I was only getting like 10 a.p total after working my A.P horses, which is around 100-300 depending on the day. Three days ago, I worked right at that 100 mark and got about 15 or so.

Yesterday I did the same, maybe 10 more, but got over 30. Is this just a rando chance because of drop rates or is it possibly because they're efforts of fixing things are starting to show?

Has anyone else had an increase in a.p drops since two or three days ago?

P.S I know things definitely aren't 100% fixed yet, that's a no brainer, just wondering

Quick question: I was under the impression that the Water Divines would be offered in HOPs, but Dew is being offered in the GFs. Will the rest be offered in the HOPs or GFs?

It depends on the specific divine. Some may even be offered in TCs. Dew is more valuable than Cascade (can breed twice instead of once) which is why she was put in a more valuable luck item (is 200 passes instead of 100).

Is someone going to announce to the players and make it official that the AP thing is not a bug or are you waiting for us to forget?

It's ridiculous that it is a player (me) telling the community what is going on with the game when it should be the most basic and first job of an admin. Disgusting.

As far as we are aware, the admins were not even aware of the issue until it was mentioned by players. While there is certainly a reason to be hesitant to believe it is getting fixed at a moments notice, it also takes time for changes to be made and to find a way for the system to work in the intended way. I believe that when the changes were first brought up there were also a handful of ideas offered up by players that the admins said they were interested in and would pursue as far as coding and resources allowed them to.

The AP thing is not a bug, but as of right now it is not a permanent change (on this server) (that we know of) (programers and people are looking to see if it is a change that needs to be amended). Another thing worthing noting is that not every change to the coding is made into a statement for the general population to read. Many changes occur without any announcement as they tend to be inconsequential as this one was intended to be. While it did not turn out that way, we can not control that.

As it has been said many times before, this is not the forum for discussing this. This is a form for things that have not been brought to the game yet, if you have a complaint, send it to contact us.

That is exactly what I'm saying: the lack of professionalism of Howrse not even telling its admins what is going on is unbelievable. That's why, after several weeks weeks, hoping that the admins finally managed to speak with the "bosses", I, and many other players, would like to get an official response.

As previously said, on the Italian server the admin stated that it's not a bug and that the change will stay, so there is no reason to believe it will be different here. Again, as already discussed, they did admit their mistake of not telling the community about the change justifying their actions by saying that they thought we wouldn't notice, but we did. Don't get me wrong, the fact that they implement many changes without telling us doesn't mean that they always should, but for such an important matter I am shocked that they dumbly thought that this would be unnoticed. In fact, you might agree that the result was not inconsequential.

Lastly, please just avoid telling me this is not the place to discuss this issue as the admin themselves have communicated with us solely through this thread.


By the way, i'm still waiting for an answer by the staff

<font color="#b402cf">Hey everyone,

I know it's been a long time but this has turned out to be a very complicated issue. We are preparing to communicate to all players about what happens next with the AP change.

Our Ow has been working diligently to bring this situation to completion; a process that has required a lot of crunching numbers and scouring data. We wanted to make sure we had an absolutely clear picture of how [i]all[/i] players were affected by the change.

We keep thinking that the communication will go out and then we run into another question that has to be answered before we can move forward.

I will say that some of you will not be pleased by the resolution but the entire community will get a chance to take part in it.

I'll be back to discuss it more when I don't have to be all cryptic and stuff.

Oh dear! That's not good.

Thanks for getting back to us.

Well... that sounds familiar. Again. Still.

By "the entire community will get a chance to take part in it," do you mean everyone who decides to stay will be unilaterally impacted by it with no hope of changing it? Are we going to get another "we'd like to hear your feedback, but no, it won't change anything" chance? Or do you mean something else?

I honestly didn't care too much that gaining aging points is harder now... I have over 16,000 of them, and I was kind of thinking maybe I was earning a few less than normal. I don't even notice. Who cares?

But today I have the 'find two aging points when your horses wake up' objective, and I've taken care of probably 40+ horses and have yet to find a second one. I don't even need the aging points... But this objective used to take two minutes.

Also, sort of unrelated, but I had the "use nine aging points" objective and must have used like 15 of them before it gave me credit for it... I had three wild horses younger than my other wilds and aged them each three times to catch them up and was told I was like 80% there on the "use 9 aging points" objective. Again, I have 16,000 of them, so whatever, but that's still kind of annoying.

Alright... I'm off to take care of another fifty team ponies so I might find an aging point.

Does that mean that it isn't being fixed or that it'll get worse? I've been finding less than 100 aging points from more than 700 horses and I used to find almost twice that. I've found less than 50 aging points a couple of times. I have team members who are experiencing the same problems. It's been detrimental to our team's progress and it's upsetting for those of us who look forward to being able to breed and BLUP a large number of horses in a competitive manner and for those of us who have dedicated a lot of resources and time to that.

I really don't know what to say about this...

^^^ Probably this. What a terrible stance for them to take, "We want feedback but we don't really care what you say, thanks!"

When is the next time a Hestia's Gift will be offered?

Personally I say the response would range from "not my favorite but oh well" to "I BLUP 30 horses weekly, this is a DEVASTATING loss!!!!" I doubt ANYONE but Ow will be happy about it ?

Don't know... people who have 16 instead of 16000 maybe?
