HellOw,

Our developers have something to tell you!

Every three weeks, approximately, our devs will provide you with information about their work in the “Dev’s Corner.”

This topic is a way of keeping everyone updated on what’s happening with the game. We invite you to discuss and leave your feedback for each of the publications.

Note: All posts must adhere to the forum guidelines and be constructive.

Take a look at our Devs' Corner here!

Warm wishes,
The Howrse Team

    That was not meant as a personal attack. I seriously want to know what people do want. The chances of this going back to how it was before are, in my opinion, zero. In that case we need to say what would make the new layout more acceptable so I am just asking for ideas.

    For the boxes perhaps you need to send feedback to Contact asking for a 'repair all' button.




    You seriously want to know what people want? Read back 30 pages and you'll see all the many suggestions for improving this ugly and awful update default smiley (8)

    Not sure how i supposedly climbed 122,000 places in the trophy ranking overnight, considering my spot yesterday was 100ish lower than it has been previously. And that's not taking into account the broken rosette trophies which haven't updated default smiley (o)

    I've noticed something else with this new update that hasn't been mentioned anywhere. It seems some competitions are taking significantly longer to post who won the competition. For instance, I entered my Jupiter and Io into two competitions this morning and they haven't posted the winner in more than 15 minutes. Both competitions had 3 horses already in the race before I entered my two, so it was a full competition. Normally it only takes a minute or so to post the winner. It only seems to be some competitions though, not all of them. Did they make a change in how they decide who wins? I know my Jupiter and Io came in first and second, they had to, so why so long to report it? Still not posted in the 5 minutes it took me to write this.

    Now some constructive feedback that I've kindly borrowed from the Aus server that I think would help tidy things up somewhat and make navigating pages easier:
    -Add a section in Collections for the Golden Apples Coats and Helios Rays we have applied
    - Alphabetize the Classic coats section on the Collections page
    - Alphabetize the display of breeds in the Horse breeds section
    -Set the Collections page out like the old trophy page with the drop down boxes to take out all those unnecessary clicks
    -Add a section for -100 RC's or at least make them distinguishable somehow
    -Remove the Special Horses section from the collections page, they already have a designated page that's easier to navigate as they are now

    According to the French server, there are too many GA coats and landscapes to add to the Collections.
    I'm unsure why adding "put a Helios' Ray" to the Trophy page couldn't be done, unless that's something they'll do.

    The Special Horses display in the Collections does look a bit redundant to the Special Horse pages, but keeping them in the Collections continues to them count to our General Ranking Score.

    I would dearly love for the breeds collection to be reorganized though. I'm glad I have all of the breeds, simply so I don't have to bother navigating that one.

    Yes. I wouldn't have thought it would be too difficult now that they are in list form anyway just to change it to alphabetical.

    To be fair, the atmosphere in this topic hasn't been the nicest, especially when it comes to how quite a lot of the posts have been targeted at the admins. The anger and frustration is justified, but the way some of it has been shown is not; would you feel comfortable posting when there is a high chance that whatever you say could be torn apart in a similar fashion? It in no ways justifies the silence, but just a little food for though as to why they might not have really said anything.


    The thing is, when a big change like this is made, it should be fully explained.

    Mods may have a little more information then we do but really no pull with the 'people in power'. It appears that Admins' have no power either. However, since they are the only other connection to information for the players, they should be in this thread talking to us. By talking to us, not just making a blanket statement and disappearing.

    Most of us 'old' players remember how the original Ow kept us informed, good or bad. That was pretty much a daily thing around the same time every day. That's important for the health of the game. Believe me, it was much more of a community back then.

    I mean no disrespect, but if that's the case then I'm not entirely sure what you're unclear on? We've made it quite evident that displaying trophies aren't the only thing we miss. Nor are displaying trophies only useful for "showing off". If you truly want to see people's suggestions for positive changes to this update, the 30 pages have more than enough information.

    We haven't just complained with no offer of solution. It's quite clear Howrse won't change this. We all know them well enough to know that. That's why people have specified what they dislike and want changed.

    I'm fully aware how different it was, I've been here since the end of 2008, but I also recall how different the player base was. I might not have frequented the forums enough, but I don't remember it being as tense when changes that the community didn't like happened.

    Not all the GA coats and landscapes, that would be pure insanity just the ones we have applied, they used to track it before I don't see why they wouldn't now. I'd like to see which landscapes I have used cause sometimes I don't favourite them and I can't remember the names or search combination I used for them which makes them hard to track down when I want to use them again. I also loved seeing all my GA coats in one spot from the click of a trophy, I could look at it, see what I had amassed all in one spot and see the names of creations. I hope they address the GAs and landscapes somehow at some point.

    If any of that didn't read smoothly I'm tired and I apologize default smiley xd
