[UPDATED] Devs' Corner: March 2026

Never mind, was reading it from the perspective of the person accepting the covers, not the perspective players offering covers.

The obly reason why the Mods are agreeing with this update is because they are forced to otherwise their Mod privileges would be snatched away by the all powerful OW.

These updates, in my high and glorious opinion, are trash. Literally Howrse thinks everything is cheating when the players start to get really good at certain aspects of the game. Which is quite ironic that they want to stop cheating but I can literally go grab you a list of players who are multi accounting using obvious names like Pickles123,Pickles1234, Pickles123456, and they are all friends and were made on the same day and when we players report this we get the same "Our glorious systems aren't flawed and will catch them". Also hasn't Howrse been asked to fix the lag? How come that isn't their top priority? Literally any other game, if a tons of players complained about lag like we have been complaining then that is automatically their first thing to fix...they don't add to the game. Sounds like Howrse is going downhill

That is good

As other's have said, 300 is better than the 100 that was originally proposed, but it's still not what I would have liked to see happen.

First off, I don't see posting hundreds of coverings as in any way cheating.

However I do think there was one annoying problem with public covers: and that's when you order the covers by GP (as I do), but to look at the second stallion you have to scroll through 10 pages of the first horse. I might want to use the second stallion if it's very close and/or has a colour I want (I have Tarpan) or is a bit lower in price.

I can also see that sometimes huge numbers of covers posted might contribute to lag. And it's a waste when they don't get used.

So in preprod I suggested they put on a limit on the coverings per stallion rather than per player. So for example a horse might only have 50 at a time (which would still be a couple of pages of covers). You'd be able to put up more as those got used.

I'm not convinced this is actually going to make a lot of difference to anything, unless you are lucky enough to get a top stallion. So probably pointless.

As stated above by another, I also believe that if there must be some sort of limit placed on public coverings, it should be per stallion instead of per player. If the original concern was that the same horse was flooding the public covers directory, then it should’ve made sense all along to have it done this way, as theoretically the same horse can still place 300 covers per 24 hours... But Howrse didn’t exactly clarify on how the public coverings were being utilized to cheat....

I don't see how giving out more than 300 coverings a day would be cheating, or how it would be like.. Anything. Maybe the amount of how many covers can one stud give out per day could be limited, but why try anything with the player's amount? What is this cheating?

Is that "Performances" thing going to be shown to ALL players? Seems a bit too non-pass-player friendly, but sure it would be great.

Don't be giving them any ideas

Yeah... I don't think limiting covers per horse is any better of an idea. Especially not when the number is reduced further.
For people wanting to breed up a good horse but unable to find the time to start their own breeding programs and whatnot, the public coverings are very useful. And if they have to race against other players to breed with a good horse, that'd be unfair on them.
If you want to avoid spammed floods of the same horse, use filters.

I checked the "Performances" thing, and it is total scam. Nothing you couldn't see literally few seconds later. Useless, pointless.

The first reaction to the notification howrse gave me, ''welp, a new update to ruin the game''

And hey, I was correct...
