Yes, i was again very disappointed by this...that's like a 75% drop (based on the 1000 passes pack that used to give an additional 1000...now 250)! I was hoping to get some, but now i'm avoiding it.

Ohhhh my.... this is not good news at all!!!

My guess is it’s a way to offer the pass offers while having the packs out. Usually there are no pass offers while packs are on the market. Hopefully it’s not a permanent change.

It is not replacing the regular pass UFOs

I’ll probably get a lot of hate for this, especially if it comes true…
But…I would not be surprised if they remove the HOP given after 10 consecutive objectives and replace it with 5 fragments…

Everyday is an offer to buy some kind of divine. It used to be a rare thing, and something to look forward too. Now it’s just…eh, another divine. Yay.


On a side note, the Great Challenge. Is that still a thing in rotation for events?

To the Pass offer:

"technical issues"

I think I was taken advantage of with the above banner -
I put in an contact us form
howrse, did you do me wrong ? or are you just confusing me -- I couldn't see were the additional passes were

what will happen to Starry aura if these changes were implemented? The entire mechanic of this item relies on an equal number of fragments between the divine. I can't imagine how that could work. They shouldn't remove this item, as it would be unfair to the players who paid for it earlier, counting on a specific number of fragments established from the start.

For the Starry Aura fragments

I don't have this offer either!!!

This isn't just unfair; it’s outright theft from players who didn't use the Starry Aura earlier.
People spent coupons (often purchased with real money) to get an item providing 1000 fragments (which yields, for example, one-ninth of the fragments needed for each divine horse in a collection); giving them a smaller amount after they’ve already bought the item is simply theft.

In my opinion, they should come up with a fair solution to the Starry Aura problem before attempting to introduce any changes of this kind.

Did Howrse really think this would go over well with anybody?

Absolutely, and what about people who are in the middle of using their Starry Auras, which already take a long time to get the full fragments? It's insane to make this sort of change without fully thinking through what will happen to those. Will people 500 fragments into a 1000 Solar starry aura just suddenly find theirs finished?

@ Veren "Did Howrse really think this would go over well with anybody?"

Do any of us really think they CARE?

About the Champion Seed:

The issue is that it's CLEAR that they don't! There even was a message on Discord from an ambassador who said Owlient seem to be ignoring the ambassadors team as well, going against their frustrations as well as ours. It's also so ironic how they state on prepod that "Tell us what you think of the features. It's important to us." while then proceeding to completely ignore our complaints and concerns.

I don't know if you caught it on Naraku's post but

Well, we won't forget about it since we'll have to contend with another

@Legacy Ann

Actually you should be able to see it as

Oh good I check this topic just in time to see the new hell Howrse has unleashed.
What is going on??

Also, another thing I realized...
We all know how luck items are frequently offered in events, right? Often, they're considered the "top" prize. Well, with the ridiculously small amount of fragments we'll get, it makes the "top" prize pretty lame. Way to ruin events, Howrse.

As a player who has been involved with Howrse for many years, I’m extremely disappointed with the direction of these changes. Increasing the number of fragments required for certain divines while also reducing the number of fragments we can earn makes an already expensive game feel even less accessible.

Receiving a single fragment from an objective toward a divine that may require hundreds, or even over a thousand, fragments hardly feels rewarding at all.

I also don’t understand the reasoning behind requiring players to manually claim daily privileges such as Breeder’s Wealth. If a privilege is intended to provide a daily benefit, making players remember to claim it every day just adds another unnecessary task rather than improving the game in any meaningful way.

My biggest concern is what these changes say about the overall direction of Howrse… Over the years, the game has felt increasingly less focused on breeding, competing, collecting, and enjoying horses, and more focused on encouraging players to spend larger amounts of passes to keep up with constant events and new divines.

I’ve continued playing Howrse for so many years because I genuinely enjoy the game, which is exactly why changes like these are so frustrating. I want reasons to continue investing my time in Howrse, not to feel as though player feedback is being ignored while we are continually asked to spend more and receive less in return.

I really hope the feedback in this forum is taken seriously.
