I was wondering when you craft saddle blankets, polo wraps and ear bonnets from your workshop do you get to pick what color they are or is it just the basic color?
Click to displayThey are all the basic 1* tack, so they are all White in color.
It's possible in the future this may change - but at present time, this is the only option (though for it to change, they would need to add in other resources in the form of dyes to get different colors) - 2015-02-21Retired breeder wrote:
Just making sure, I didnt understand if the owner of the horse is going to still get paid for lessons?
Yes you still get paid for lessons and missions.

On the test site, the slider bars for feeding were a lot of trouble, hard to zero in on a tiny dot. anyone else feel that way?
Lots of people felt that way. The drop down box option is back (though Ow did say "for now").

Just the basic 1* polos/bonnets/saddle blankets that you can buy in the store. - 2015-02-21Whitekoi wrote:

I've been using the slider for ages now because it's a lot more efficient that using the drop down menu. But yes, I have noticed that clicking the exact amount can sometimes be tricky. For instance, when I change the zoom level on my browser the dots don't seem to match up exactly, but if you happen to have a scroll wheel on your mouse you can hover over the general slider area and scroll up or down to make adjustments

Now, don't get me wrong, it's great to see they're finally coming, but wasn't howrse so adamant about never bringing them that all suggestions to bring them were immediately shut down?
Well they have a context and a use now. It doesn't sound like they'll be like the regular breed on the game - more like donkeys than anything.
I really don't understand why people are having an issue with this... Howrse changed their mind about something because they found a reason that was consistent with the games logic.
For all we know, Howrse could have been saving the drafts for a time - like this one now - where they would have a use beyond just entering them into the GP race.

*facepalm* yes, rather than make the game a game, let's make it more tedious for everyone.
You may find it tedious but I bet for others it will add a whole new layer to the game. I, for one, am very excited.
What I find tedious is doing the same thing over and over and over... I'm craving a bit of novelty right about now and the changes ARE game play to me.
And from everything I've read, anyone who doesn't want to focus much (or any) attention on the ECs can probably get by just fine. Once EC owners are able to craft tack to offer to their boarders the extra cost of boarding will be well worth it
If you board in an EC that offers fodder and oats you are probably going to be better off than you were before the changes to the boarding costs. Are people forgetting that the price of fodder was taken directly out of our reserves back then?

for realism, why is there no bank?
There kind of is actually... There is a way of storing money (without losing any over all) which allows you to keep breeding costs low and yet still have the ability to 'withdraw' money at any time if you need it
But having said that, I don't know why we would need one... Heck if there was one I'd bet people in the forums would be wailing that Howrse is getting too complicated.

-why were jobs removed? Are we all supposed to be unemployed?
Being a breeder and/or equestrian center manager is a job, no?
Jobs were a pain... The demand for employees was always going to be higher than what could be supplied to real people (since each EC required multiple employees), so most people would have to resort to hiring those fake temporary employees which is just a sink for money... What was the point of that? If you think about it you were just paying money everyday for a prestige bonus for your EC.

That's not how businesses work.
Actually, supply and demand is exactly how business works
Heck, even if you don't touch your EC at all you could potentially make quite a lot of money by buying items while they are cheap and selling them back for profit if/when the demand increases! You just have to figure out how...You know, play the game. Can't wait the changes on Monday

Ah... no there's not. There is no way of storing money for keeps for when you need it.Neferka wrote:

And now you'll have to pay a pass for the bonus if you want it. I'd personally would have rather paid the money.

Did you even read their post?
People don't mix their business money with their business money. That was what they were saying. I don't like the merged reserves. - 2015-02-21Gah...
...I have to learn to start reading before I post.
I meant... people don't mix their personal money with their business money.
