FINALLY a Grail who gives a luck item! Also a donkey, which is adorable. I don't know horse anatomy so cannot speak for his design, but he is cute!! Also glad he is in the GF, makes me think I'll get much better prizes and I'm more likely to luck out

For those wondering what are the quest of the new divine:

FYI, the quest, if you have no other Grail Divine, requires 1 950. 1 350 is with 5 Grail divines, counting Caradoc.

With all 7 Grails, it's 1050 - a HoP every 10 days, if you factor in the day when you can get 200 because of Quest crossover

Not a fan of the idea of prenium rewards, this will be extreemely unfair to a lot and i mean a lot of player. already hating where this is going.

new divine is adorable, and hey they finaly got a donkey with a proper tail, im surpriced.

also can someoen test if qilin can cover these donkeycorns?

Are there any pics of the new donkey unis?

So excited for the donkey unis! Was just thinking about that the other day; "Why doesn't Howrse have donkey unis????"

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but you should be able to make it to the end without having to unlock Premium rewards.

As long as you log in faithfully, of course.

Any chance that someone could give a bit more info on these "premium rewards"? From what I am gathering they're just extra things you can pay to get.

Getting Premium rewards unlocks two things...

The ability to earn 120 horseshoes every day instead of 100.
Half of the prizes, some of them being the best ones.



Everything in the first, third, and fifth row (I attempted to map it out... please excuse my horrible circling, haha), if you're looking at it from the top down, are Premium gifts. Without spending 600 passes, you just can't get them.

Wow that's terrible. I can't see these premium awards going down well...

I mean, I am going to save up 600 passes just for access to the Llama and Camel companions, but I really, really hope this isn't a new direction Howrse is going in with every event. I guess in a way it's similar to how promos used to be, where an average player couldn't easily access the top prizes, but this version feels kind of icky. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong.

On the other hand, it's nice that there is a GF! I think a luck item (specifically the one the new divine is in) should be a mandatory prize in every event.

I dont think I like where this is going either...now we have to pay for the best "prizes" that we would normally win by participating in the promo in the first place? 600 passes, on top of earning the other prizes and paying to win the divine, is pretty pricey for some of us! And I imagine this is only the beginning of this...if someone has a rosier way of explaining or thinking about this, please do share with me, so it's not as bitter a taste in my mouth.

600 passes is a pain in the backside for most non pass buyers, and even pass buyers if they use their passes for resources for teams and such Which sucks because I do want the camel and llama and female uni but...I don't know if its worth it. I NEVER have a good time saving up passes

also can someoen test if qilin can cover these donkeycorns?

They changed Qilin's description. Won't be able to breed to our donkey unicorns.

"Qilin is a male divine unicorn who is one of the divine Chinese horses. He can breed with all your female unicorns, except your female donkey unicorns"

I guess we should be glad that they kept some of the good prizes available for all, but I could see this causing a divide; people have complained for years how pass buyers have an unfair advantage over them, now imagine how those complaints could go when most of the good prizes are locked behind a 600 pass pay wall, which is a lot for the average non pass buyer.

I greatly dislike the Premium Key...
I've never seen anything so expensive in an event (comparing it to boosters, extra clicks, etc.), and 600 passes is, quite frankly, ridiculous. 100-200 passes or so, maybe even 300 passes, seems more reasonable to me. I do hope Howrse listens to its players and the price gets bumped down. Or, better yet, removed completely.

First, they take out divines. Which is still saddening, even with the new unicorn donkey. Now this? Please, please, please let this Premium Key not be a "new normal" thing.

I am absolutely disgusted by the "premium" prizes being offered for a 600p price tag. Half of the prizes on the list are garbage. The equus amounts are pitiful, and the aging point amounts are nothing spectacular. The only thing that seems worth the passes are the companions. I would resell them but their rerelease in this promo is going to tank the market. I don't see a justification for spending 600 passes on mediocre prizes?

No. If this event goes out WITH the premium key. My game is ruined. I'm quitting. I am so done with this company and its ridiculous ideas. You have ruined your game, congratulations. Get rid of the premium key NOW. VIP is hard enough, now you are ruining prizes. This is worst than the last event. Hate to sound like a jerk, but this time you deserve it. this sucks for nonpass buyers. I don't have 600p to spend on this event, never will, never have. I am not buying passes on your life. Get rid of it, I am DONE. Just DONE. It's 10x worse than the last event. Ruined. ubisoft sucks.

To add- Even if we all said the same message. you wouldn't change a thing in this event. Which is why you're the ultimate problem of your game. Hackers wouldn't be so popular now if you hadn't made your game super difficult to play. I need the Hestia's Gift to make money and the Golden Apple. I have never felt so angry with this company. no more pay to play. it's either free to play or no play whatsoever. I can't wait for school to start and for me to forget about this game like so many other players. Like, why does it even exist anymore? Ubisoft ruins all kinds of games like this. Hooray default smiley

And 90% of the time in these forums I am relatively positive. But this is crossing the line TOO FAR. Get rid of the stupid key.

I now feel scammed about my Qilin. The ability i genuinly like about it is covering my female unicorns, especially drafts, od choose buying a bolt to get extra mares to use this with.
But now? You reduced its ability to cover "all unicorns" by excleuding Donkeycorn??
Way to nerf the divine out of the value it had, atleast fix its horrendous GP then.

Ow, you are a hack. Fall in some manure pit.

also, the prenium cost of 600p is extremely steep for non-passbuyers, snd the rewards, while you get back 100p after a month and such, i still find it very costly..
And extremely unfair to lock the new species female behind this, along with the Hestias gift.

I was seriously suspicious of the sushi chests being optional early to open at some steep pass price aswell. But im real angry seeing this option. And even if we dont buy it, theres always gonna be people who do.

Id say get rid of it or tops 100-200p so the average non-pass buyer has a chance to still earn it mid event if they were broke

I am saying this as a pass buyer - it's ridiculous.

Yes, those of us that buy passes should have an advantage over those that don't, but I honestly feel like Howrse really needs to think about how they price these things and the way they bring them out.

This, in my opinion, is just going to further the divide between free-to-play and pass buyers, especially if this becomes common place in the events.

As someone that once got snarled at rather nastily by a free-to-play player on a previous account, told that I don't understand the struggles of playing for free, we don't need that divide to be widened, but rather we should try and bring the community closer as a whole.

I honestly agree with people that play-for-free and struggle a lot, I was a non pass buyer/bought passes rarely for several years before I had the money to spare, and even present day I play over on the UK server and haven't spent anything, and it's honestly a lot harder over there because of it.

I know you need to make money, but that really should just be focused on during the weekend promos, not on every event you come up with. We would appreciate a break once in a while just to enjoy the main focus of the game.

My purchasing also wouldn't decrease if you made less pass heavy promos, but it sure would be nice to use those passes elsewhere, like on the coat release or improving my game as a whole.

sooo, i have to buy the prizes with my horseshoes or do i get those prizes when i reach a certain number of horseshoes ?

Pay to win is now becoming pay to play.
If they put as much time as they put into thinking up ways to take more money from the players into fixing the actual game, the servers would be running at the speed of light by now.
