It would hopefully be an improvement on previous incarnations... I think any Christmas promo is going to have choice of prizes, including several divines. I can't remember if we had choice of prizes in the vacation?

You had milestones every X points you cumulated.
The potions one is the one you have some sort of "freedom"

Of course they could change that in a new version. They could even include an idea I've mentioned before. I'd love the Christmas promo to include the chance to complete our half-filled divine meters, maybe with some sort of fragment shop. Satisfaction points could 'pay' to do that.

I'm wondering if something is going on. I've noticed before you sometimes get the same promos on the first weekend of preprod as are going on on the live server. I've guessed they get included when the live accounts are copied to preprod. But you don't usually see that on the second weekend.

This preprod session though, we've had two weekends where the Titan's Challenge has included two divines: both the preprod one and the current live one. I just put that down to a wierd but fun accidental combination! But that did happen 2 weeks.

Now this weekend, we have Idunn in the TC's on live, and in the fleeces on preprod. Which it seems to me has to be deliberate, but why?

Great challenge and snowball battle.

Divine: Fuji, gift a piece of cloud.

Some changes to the challenge phase: you can now choose what challenges you do to make up 100 points/horseshoes.

Sadly the highest points are for dehorning unicorns!

It's a reworked version of the Great Challenge we normally have. I've got some pictures below for those interested.

I've already send my cart away for the day. But imagine that where it looks empty and plain there's a cart

The new instructions


This is from day 2, and the objectives are the same as yesterday, so I'm guessing they don't change from day to day. You can complete the same objective multiple times. As you can see, I completed the Grand Prix one 8 times (thanks to the bonus that allows 4 entries per discipline), which gave me 80 horseshoes right there, so thankfully the uni horn and wing removals are avoidable during the weekdays at least.



Prizes

Or were you looking for his perk?
Fuji is one of the Japanese Horses.

He will give you Omikujis every day when he wakes up.
Choose one of them and win a prize from among:
1 x Piece of Cloud
Another surprise

Yeah, I was looking for the perk page. I don't know how I had a momentary lapse and did not realize he was a Japanese Divine, so UFO's are his thing.

I'm not excited about seeing the GC, even a re-worked GC, back so soon. And a Piece of Cloud is an extraordinary waste of my time in the TC's. So I guess I'll have time to pick myself up off the floor following my precious Wanderer's whom I intend to drain me of all my money.

that's one nice looking divine - very very pretty.

Not a fan of the Japanese series... don't get me wrong love the artwork. But the once a blue moon perks, leaves me jaded.

If I missed this piece of info I do apologies, the images were a bit big, but is it known how many horseshoes are needed for each prize in the challenge portion?

So it means that there will be only one Divine as a prize for the top 15 players in the Battle? Or we just don’t know the full list of prizes for it yet?

Shame, shame, shame.
Rememeber the good old days when you could win up to three new/older divines totally for free?

But nevermind, I’m actually looking forward to it. Definitely gonna try to defend the FIRST PLACE for the FIFTH TIME IN A ROW on the czech version. :-)

The Battle is one of my the most favourite promos here. And I really like the improved version with intervals because previous battles were worse than a nightmare for me. To be honest, those nights were completely sleepless, because I had to have an alarm set for every 3 hours. It is so much better now when we have day divided into intervals.
You just basically need to log in four times a day (times of logging in depends on our progress in the Great Challenge), refresh the page till the ufo pops up on the page, throw it away /or change it for different one/ and repeat this cycle untill you have thrown away maximum number of hearts for this interval /four hearts/. It’s easy like a piece of cake.

But it could be kinda expensive for someone with not much equus. For example the last battle "cost” me 7 million equus and for me it was really good deal because for those seven million I won THREE DIVINES (I put it into quotation marks because changing UFOs for equus was some type of costs). Nevertheless I understand that not everyone has million of equus so they won’t be able to afford paying e.g 1 300 000 for changing just one UFO.

Sorry for that long post and mistakes in grammas I made, but I had the need to share my attitude to the Battle. I would put a potato here if I could. Well, hope you will win some really good things!

The dehorning unis is one of the objectives for the great challenge. If you look at JustaLullabi's picture post, their last spoiler shows the selection. Each day you get to choose which of the 9 objectives you do in order to fill a 'wagon' with 100 horseshoes. Then you 'send' the wagon. After which it selects one of the objectives for you to do for bonuses (Justalullabi's post shows this last stage). So, you can choose what you do to get the prizes (great....), but not what you do to get bonuses. I've had the 'give a horse' one both days so far, and since I won't do it, I've got no bonuses. We are trying to get that lack of choice changed, and people are saying they don't like the Unicorn and Wings ones...

The snowball battle isn't running yet, so we don't know any more than what's in the notes. Hopefully there will be more than one divine, we don't know yet.

I've already objected strongly to equus being involved again! Agree it's much better with the 'sessions' so you don't have to get on every 3 hours to compete. But it was the only event where wealth didn't influence who got divines, and I think it's a shame that's been lost. Especially as, unlike other events, it's one where players actually compete against each other.

It's a bit difficult to tell. You have to fill a wagon with 100 horseshoes by doing tasks.
During that the meter on the right doesn't fill. Then you 'send the wagon' and it starts the animation of filling meters one after another until you've got the prizes for that day. Anyway, it looks like as long as you get the 100 horseshoes each day you'll get all the prizes by the end.

This is what it looks like before you did any of the objectives

This is when you've got a full cart just before you send it away

Then this is the same image as I posted yesterday but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And then last but not entirely leastthe worst screenshot in the bunch. Because there's a neat little animation of the prize meter filling up after you send the cart away. And every time you hit a milestone the prize pops up and flies upwards. It's really neat. I'll try to get a video tomorrow
So you needed 155 horseshoes for the spurs. And I'm on 200 total. So that's when you get the prize.
