I wounder what will happen to the DA coats ?
Here is my best guess based on the evidence. I predict that nothing is going to happen to the DA coats. They are going to remain untouched.
If you pay close attention to the image files, you'll notice that DA coats are JPGs on opaque backgrounds and the current base graphics (horses without coats) are PNGs on transparent backgrounds. If you pay even closer attention, you'll notice that all GA coats released between 2008 and 2010 are also JPGs on opaque backgrounds, but all GA coats that have been released since 2011 are PNGs on transparent backgrounds. Now take a moment to think about why.
The answer is actually pretty simple. All DA coats and all GA coats from 2008 to 2010 are relics from an older version of Howrse that Owlient has graciously allowed us to keep. They are not interactive with the current version. They are displayed in simple boxes and picture frames. They cannot be given Helios' Rays. They will never wear visible tack. In fact, we are very lucky to still have those historic relics at all because they are totally out of sync with Owlient's current mission to make Howrse more immersive. Since Owlient has already put a great deal of thought and effort into allowing us to keep them, I have no fear that they will suddenly change when the base graphics do.
There is other evidence. Certain promos allow us to remove the wings from a Pegasus and the horn from a unicorn. During those promos, if you remove the wings from a Pegasus with a GA or RC, then the coat will be lost and the horse or pony will revert back to the base graphic. Likewise, if you remove the horn from a unicorn with a GA or RC, then the coat will be lost and the horse or pony will revert back to the base graphic. The same pattern continues when you remove the wings from a Pegasus with a DA or the horn from a unicorn with a DA. That is very strong evidence that Owlient has already been treating DAs like coats for some time. I predict they will continue to do so.
DAs are historic relics that are treated like coats. We will not lose any GAs or RCs or other special coats when the new base graphics are released. I think it goes to follow that our DAs will remain untouched, as well. I'm banking on it! I have a priceless foundation Peruvian Paso unicorn with a truly one of a kind DA coat. I expect it to remain in place when all of the changes occur.
