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,

    New HOP interface just looks like the Tyche's Crown which is awful to begin with. We know what we can win in it, why make it look like that? Makes zero sense. Also, now I can't see the number I have in my inventory on the HOP page. Boo!

    Also the Help Center is still not back which confirms my suspicion they never intended to bring it back. I'm pretty positive they were planning to do away with it eventually but forgot to tell us they got rid of it last update... *eye roll*

    This better not be the case, there was so much info in there, answers to literally everything! I wish they'd just TELL US if they meant to discontinue it.

    I for one hate using the Game Play forum for questions because people get so condescending in the answers. Like I'm sorry I'm not as wise as you, what a failure I am I didn't know the answer to this completely sensible question. Using the search filter in the help center pretty much answered everyone question I had, without any hassle default smiley (o)

    New HOP page makes me wonder if they're going to change all the luck BMI pages to this format so that we can't tell how many we have left, so we're ideally less unhinged on using them/accidentally use passes without noticing.

    Also like how they separated the prizes into wonk categories to make it feel like there's a better chance of getting "Divine" value prizes than there actually is. An Artemis Arrow or Black Orchid is pretty low in value compared to Hestia's Pack or Bonus Pack, or even the Nyx Pack or Harmony Pack from the "Precious" categories, but they're both categorized as Divine default smiley (o) Yeah the "Tyche's-model" page is just totally broken.

    The new BM interface pages are terrible.

    So large and untidy. I liked knowing how many of the item I had whilst using it and I liked not having to scroll down to actually apply the item too, the hop page is especially cluttered!


    Yep, agree on that. No one complaint about the HoP page. Why changing it? I am sure Titans and Fleece are next.
    Its totally crowded and absolutely not helpful.

    AT LEAST, please make the icons smaller. I don't like this scrolling down all the time and I need to know how many I have left.

    Howrse are great at fixing things that don’t need fixing, mostly not for the good either default smiley :@ and ignoring things that players ask to be fixed, go figure default smiley (o)

    Why would a team go backwards? I've never been on a team where a sales release was ever negative.


    Teams don't need to set a max GP to sell, but that doesn't stop one applying a max covering/sale GP after the horse have been sold, causing any ungelded stock over that limit to become unbreedable, even ones already sold. I've seen it happen to several people already, where they bought a horse at an earlier time, just to find they now can't breed it due to the team setting the max below the GP of the horse.

    This is the message you get if the horse is over the team GP -

    "x is a team horse and therefore cannot breed."

    I am like everyone else that has already spoken about the HoP page changes. IT IS AWFUL! Why in the world did you change it at all? It was just fine the way it was & now it's a GAUDY MESS! Come on Howrse, you can do better than this. There was absolutely NOTHING WRONG with the HoP page. There was no reason to change it at all. Now instead of everything being right where we can see everything, you've messed it up so we have to scroll down to even be able to open one & on top of that you no longer tell us how many we have left. Talk about a DUMB UPDATE. I think you should rethink this one & go back to the old code. It wasn't broken, so don't fix it.

    Please Do Not change any of the other pages like the HoP, it's awful. We don't like it, we don't want to keep it, go back to the old version, PRETTY PLEASE?!

    I volunteered to test out the new up and coming update. My observation, opinion and suggestion for the New beta test platform session to be Released on or around October 4th 2022.


    This test platform is EXTREMELY slow with loading and the lagging is very bad!

    Also I want to add this… Yes I have the best gaming Wi-Fi internet for what’s offered in my area. I don’t know if where I’m located is relevant or not, but I am in the United States of America specifically the state of Louisiana.

    What I am using: Fiber-Optic cable/lines, Upload Speed - 3,000Mbps Connection, Upload a 8 min. 4K video in less than 2.8 seconds, Download Speed - 4,000Mbps Connection, Download a 180-min. 4K movie in less than 32 seconds. Plus play and stream live MMORPG games.

    I venture to guess that not many players on here have what I have. So with that being said, if it’s Snail Slow for me it Will Be crashing, freezing and completely unplayable for most players on here.

    I have no idea why it’s doing this or what exactly y’all are changing to make the platform and servers do this but that’s for y’all to figure out on y’all’s end.

    Hope y’all fix this before the new platform is launched!


    RECOMMENDATION: Update the platform for players to be able to search in the criteria for “Companions” for both internal (player owned howrses) and external (howrses in the sales). I can’t tell you how many howrses (I have 43,000+ howrses) I have with “Companions” that are hidden and mixed up throughout my Breeding Farm. I’m very certain that over 90% of players will agree with me on this.

    Hello,

    Does this mean that 24 VIP memberships are no longer offered in HOPs? I don't see them listed there? They were always a great surprise a few times a year.

    Thanks!
