New features

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

    @ ShadowKukofu :

    If they have, please remove the dehorning, uni birthing and donkey/draft cover objectives from the current pool. We shouldn't have to mutilate/waste covers for precious horses/rely on luck to complete an objective. These things should be completable without costing us more than what they're worth.

    I agree completely.. we have been asking for these changes for eons but here they still are..

    Using one of three coverings for a donkey unicorn is a waste. It is actually 2 coverings because it requires both a male and female.

    Each objective should have a tiered value with easier ones at 10 /20 passes and more difficult ones at 100 passes.

    This update honestly just has me confused. Didn't they remove the ''Remove a Pegasus' wings'' because it was too difficult? That's why I'm so confused as to why they'd add even harder objectives to the list after removing an old one, which was deemed to hard/unnecessary by a ton of players. And so far, I've seen nothing but compaints about the new objectives, and nothing's been done about those? Or the dehorn objectives which also have been complained about by a TON of players ever since they appeared.

    Is it me or are the new objectives MIA? I haven't seen any new ones for a while.. even got my objectives HoP. And today it's just the normal dehorning and cover a female donkey pains, nothing new. Have they undone the objectives update?

    They are definitely still there - looking at one of them right now: Cover a draft unicorn

    So I'll let the meter reset itself again

    This is how I see the game and it's evolvement trends since a while:

    I think exactly the same of these objectives, what others already wrote before me. So all I can add to and tell, that such a hunger for money and thereby handling of players is simply outrageous and disgusting . A game should be fun to play, and shouldn't frustrate and/or anger it's players virtually every single day, else playing it, is not a game anymore, but it turns into some kind of a masochism then. My public remark at this point to the team, that this conception and direction of development is obviously counterproductive - at least, I definitelly won't invest any real money anytime to this game after all of these, no matter what.

    They claim, that objectives' allocation is absolutelly random. Then why most of us get at least one of the new ones, almost everyday? There's at least 200 objectives in total, so where are the others? Probably it's safe to presume, that the team is simply lying. Not like this is the only case, since who on earth believes now, that fixing the "issue" of advertising videos is still impossible for a professional dev team, which Ubi has? This is just ridiculous. I'm certain, they want to force everyone to use the app, instead of the classic browser version. This is well indicated also by the fact, that several "updates" and "optimizations" came out for the mobile version lately. Similary to the DC, or TC story. Everyone hated those movements, yet they weren't listening to us and executed their plan at all costs.
    Back to the objectives, they told me, they designed them to be hard enough, because they don't want everyone to complete them all the time default smiley (o) . Otherwise, there wouldn't be any "challenge" in completeting them default smiley :o . I have to admit, they're partly right, but there's huge difference between making objectives challenging and impossible to complete! About the removal/truncating objectives, like dehorning; they should be aware of, that this is a way of implied support of animal torturing default smiley :k , even if animals in here are virtual only. This complaint could continue on hundred of pages, but I think, I said enough for now. default smiley :-x

    New update is terrible as usual:
    the check boy for free covers left would have been great as an ADDITION, not a replacement. Now you can't differentiate between 0/1/2 covers left, which you were able to do before.
    Makes finding a donkey/draft with all covers left, that isn't a foal, not only time consuming because you have to manually check every single one, it also makes pricing them for sale difficult; one with 0 covers used is worth more than one that has only 1 cover left after all.

    I agree with opıɐu∀ regarding the update for the sales search w/covers.

    I don't see why there was a need to REPLACE the 'number of covers available' with just 'covers available' when searching sales for donkeys and drafts.

    Most times, whether or not I'm willing to pay the asking price depends on how many covers are left (i.e. one cover left or all) and this "improvement" means I now have to individually check each donkey/draft to see how many are left.

    Seems like a silly change to make, since I don't see how this would make things simpler for ANYONE.default smiley (o)

    Agree about the coverings filter. I used that filter to find which horses in my AP farm had already been covered at least once, and since none of those horses have limited coverings I now have to figure out a new way to find those horses.

    Okay… while the new coverings filter honestly isn’t great, at least they listened to us for once, albeit…uniquely. There is always tons of confusion from new players about buying drafts and donkeys and ending up wasting money. Now we can tell them just to click the covers left button, which might end up saving people a lot of equus/passes

    Since the latest update, I am now unable to search for horses over age 30 with Water of Youth. It is showing all horses with WoY, not just the ones that are older than 30 years.
