Regarding weekend promo

Indeed, that's the usual

If I create an info sheet for the event, when would be the best time to post it? I only have time to test until next weekend. While I do log in daily just to AP farm I don't usually have the time to play regularly, so I think I'll forget about the sheet closer to time

Also may make a strategy guide

Time doesn't matter. People will see it and often people will repost it in the forums. When the event comes out try and get it on the first page preferably for people.
When making a sheet it only takes me about 20 mins (for a divine). For events it'll take a bit longer. For a strategy guide it's about 30-40 mins for me (im still new to it) so that takes a bit longer. Make sure to use your phone or computer calculator too, it'll save you a buttload of time.

does anybody know what the next event after parade one ends monday is

I would love one day if Rain or Buce would return in a promo

The problem with Buce is that you need 5 pieces to make him, so if he was offered he'd likely either be in separate promos, or you would end up with only a few pieces by the end of it without paying.

I'm not familiar with Rain or Buce. Could someone please explain?

Rain=Water divine
Buce= Bucephalus, one of the divines where if you collect all the pieces of his tack it will turn your horse into him

Ah, okay. Thanks for explaining! For some reason my mind didn't immediately jump to divines but instead went straight to events...

Does anyone know when the next event will start?

Events start on Thursdays following the end of the previous event (so we should see the next one this Thursday), then last through 3 weekends, and end on Mondays.

Even though the schedule is the same 99.999% of the time, I always recommend checking the end time posted on the Event banner just in case the time has been adjusted

The new Devs Corner

Whilst this would be nice, I don't think that's necessarily the case. I will happily be proved wrong, but it seems more to me that they are just bringing the skills up to give him more chance in competitions against newer divines who have much higher skills.

I read it as just the skills being upped so he can compete on a more level playing field, not that he was being released in a promotion. Mine hasn't had his skills increased by a huge amount but he might now stand a chance.

For information, he wasn't released in a promotion, he was given to players who contributed quiz questions to a sister site of Howrse many years ago. When that site closed, those who had contributed (and had accepted) above a certain number of questions were given Archimedes as a thank you and the questions were used for him to pose here. Since he doesn't contribute to a trophy, I'd quite like it if he stays as something that is unique to older players who got him that way but maybe I'm biased as I have him!

As this is common knowledge now as per the Dev's PM today, I don't think we need spoilers for Archimedes.

Agreed.
Old divines do not have nearly the same skillset as the new ones. Which makes it difficult for them to win competitions if you need to.

i think people are just speculating on a rerelease because they did a similar thing with harlequin

They updated Harlequin and no less than one month later...
If only they had preserved the Legacy ones...

What is the riders store?

I can remember when I received Archie.Although he is not the most attractive divine, he is a bit exclusive.
It would not surprise me at all if Howrse re released him.
Didn't they do that with Wikaïla ? ( which we won a mini game playing ) , that made him so special until Howrse put out a promo for him..

My one problem is that they put them as "Needed" for the trophy, and thus made re-releasing them necessary.

They should have just done like with Arion, who is not included.

The Legacy horses should stay Legacy, in my opinion.

no weekend promo yet ?
