Droprate is 40 days, for the best pet for Dressage. That's pretty sweet

they may open up "divine boards" later in the event? We'd have a few new memory boards, and each would contain a different divine. Not sure how late or large they'd have to be to make it challenging enough given that we can use paper and pencil to mark our tiles.

While I wouldn't mind a second Christmas event if it meant better prizes and the extra divine options we usually get, a second event would burn me out, so I'm being a Scrooge McHowrse and wishing for a single event

"New boards will open on Dec 25th" sort of message.
Also, it starts in November if they didn't skip a preprod. That's a TON of time to have an event for, 2 whole months

Also, it seems that you get gifted 4 lives if you're taking a while to find and match all the pairs. Is this possibly a new feature??

complete a collection, by any chance? Those will award you lives. It should also give you a pop-up once that happens
They usually inform us in the testing topic if they've made a change to the event

Like "Oh you got lost in the maze, here are three treats". If you take too long, a failsafe will activate in the Memory, too.

I'm grasping at straws here. I don't want a second event

Or...*more straws grasped* Hasn't there been a gap between the November event and the Christmas one before? Where we just had the Advent Calendar for a whole week or so before the official event started? Grant it, I think that was a Tree Decorating event, and the Calendar provided decorations before the Tree event started, so that may be why there was a gap. Unless I'm misremembering and that never actually happened

please give us a second event, this one is really terrible.

This event ends the 25th, the next event ends November 15th or 16th (depending when it starts). Advent Calendar started at Dec 1st last time. Followed a few days later with the Christmas event (Hike). It's possible an event might not happen due to Black Friday or so. It is possible the event will be long, but I doubt it. That leaves November 15th-Dec 1st completely blank. It's only 16 days long, 2-3 days short for an event, it's very odd

Not exactly blown away by the Memory Event. Shouldn't the main prize be more... Christmasy? Nothing about the event jumps out to me as Christmas. I'm excited to have the Parade Apple, but couldn't that be introduced a little later? The whole event just... lacks. Most of the prizes are disappointing, especially considering how long it may take to get them.

I guess I'm also comparing it to last year, the year before that, and the year before that.
Three years ago - we got Blitzen for free.
Two years ago - we could get the new reindeers fairly easily, through faithful playing.
Last year - I was on hiatus, so I don't know what the event was all about. But I know more reindeer were offered. And they were relatively easy to get?

I like Memory. When I have the time for it. But seeing as Christmas is a time to travel, spend time with family, etc., shouldn't the event be a little less time-consuming and "difficult", Howrse?

Does anyone know if we'll be having and Advent Calendar? If we are, I'm kind of worried how awful the prizes might be...

We are having an advent calendar and good luck is on our side, every year the advent calendar offers some regular gifts most days, but special days you have a chance to win a divine, I believe 4 times during December different divines can be won in the advent calendar. I know for a fact Pendragon was one of them. Last year there were 3 Reindeer on offer in the hike. The Memory seems to just be the first stage, later on, they might have sone divine memory boards and possibly some other Christmasy stuff.

Last year in the advent calendar you could win: Jag Alskar Dig on the 5th, Borealis on the 12th and Yule log on the 21st? Or am I missing one. I don't have a great memory...

Also one last post, all the christmas pastries 99% will show up then so if your saving up for those it is the perfect time.

And also for this event will it be possible to get the new divine from the event itself without spending passes or fleeces? Like the time when guinivere was offered in the decoration event? Hopefully it will be like that this is going to be my first proper event

The Christmas event (not this one, in THEORY the next) should have free Divines, it's usually where I go shopping for a Love Divine or two

Gypsum, the stingiest boi of them all, is coming!

stingy useless pain in the butt, I think I'm going to spend lots of money to get him. But really, if he's in HoP's he does give 10p a month, and the loves only give like 20p a month and they are in fleeces so....
