    Employees that hold a much much more significant bonus. Before they were a requirement to keep prestige and functionality. Now they're like showers/scarecrows. They probably pay for themselves and more if the farm is fully equipped.

    Question regarding the drafts.

    If they're like donkeys, does that mean their GP also goes down?

    That is unknown - though considering that:

    Click to display
    a screen shot I found showed them as a horse a team could use for their breed, I would assume it goes up (As there are no Donkey teams because GP goes down). The whole 'like Donkeys' thing I assume means that they can only breed 3 times, and probably only with other Drafts.

    Time to start riot on test server against this guys.
    As soon I get aces...(if I do),join me in the forums.I will be there.


    I would avoid rioting until testing actually starts and we see how things will work...then decide default smiley ;)

    For all we know, by the time testing starts for us...due to reactions on the French server, this feature might be removed/changed.

    Personally, and this is just my thoughts on the whole thing:

    Click to display
    I'm glad that Employees in their original form were removed. It became harder and more expensive over time to maintain full staff (I was shelling out a good 36,000e a month on temp. Riding Instructors alone). True, players could take the jobs...but the majority just wanted to be the one that paid the most (anyone else recall when Vet was a job, everyone wanted that job because it paid the most and there were little to no regular players for other jobs?).

    If they kept employees in the old form - the same thing would have probably happened quickly (everyone wants to be the one that pays the most/offers the best benefit for their center, etc) and we'd be back in the same boat of needing to hire expensive temps.

    Yes, I must agree, it is a little underhanded that Howrse removed a feature, only to bring it back in a different form where you need to pay...but the fact remains that the way they brought it back makes it an *Optional* thing for centers (whereas original employees were a requirement to have for certain things)

    I know I won't be spending my passes/diamonds on employees - but if other players want to, that's their choice (For newer/smaller centers...I feel some of them might actually be worth it for a center just starting out)

    This is a screen shot of the page if anyone's curious about the employees and what they do (sorry, it's not translated default smiley :()

  • ShorahNagi: shorahNagi,:I didnt mean I would riot the same second I got acess,I will test it, but in the end it dosent change certain facts.Despite my annoyance I will test the "new feature" on Test Site.


    I wish I could speak french... seeing those reactions would be fundefault smiley (lol)


    You can use TInypic to make images smaller default smiley :d But big pic means details how it looks like with is awsome,thanks for sharing default smiley :)

    @Assassins Creed, I know - just throwing that out there to everyone that it is better to test first...then riot if the need arises *looking at you memories of the Retired GA*

    AS for that shot - I didn't make it and didn't want to risk ruining anything with it with re-sizing

    No we are bemoaning that employees will now cost a pass if you want the benefits when they could have done the same thing with players as employees



    That would mean we'd be paying passes to hire players for the new bonuses.... I'd rather not, sorry. ..the cheating I could see happening in this situation....

    The ability to cheat will always be there but this can ( and probably will) be taken to a higher level.default smiley :s

    For me, I will be too busy this month with all these changes as I am on a few different servers.
