[UPDATED] Devs' Corner: April 2025

If you’re going to give out the vintage apples and/or Ow’s Rays for things like this, PLEASE make them to where we can sell/trade them in the item exchange. I have only used one vintage Apple since they came out. I have so many of both that are useless to me.

So now when my Egyptian divines gain skill points, I have to refresh the page on mobile to allocate the new points instead of just allocating them because that’s efficient

Hello Howrse team,
I have been playing this game for many years and I love it but there are some things you should change to make players happy:

1- Remove objectives like:
a. Cover a Draft mare or Donkey (since they can only breed 3 times, it is expensive and hard objective. Also, no one have to breed draft horse or donkey to complete daily objective.)
b. Give birth to unicorn (it is 1/5 chance, hard and expensive)
c. Send horse to safe haven (this is completely pointless objective)
d. Open Luck item from Black Market (the cheapest one is Horn of Plenty and it gives very bad rewards. The objective only gives 20 passes. Why do we have to spent 100passes to earn 20 passes?)

2- Improve rewards of luck items. You are doing good in event rewards(this is my personal thought) but the luck item rewards can be better. Horn of Plenty is the worst to buy. I don't want to pay 100passes for apples, fodder, mash, oat and 1* tack items. They are not rewards, they are just store items which we can buy for low amount of equus or produce in equestrian center. The rewards should be the items in Black Market because we need passes to get them. PLEASE change those things.

3- There is also one thing I want to see in game. There was 3 different tack item packs along with Poseidon's Pack in Black market some years ago and it was cool but there is only Poseidon's Pack left today. Please add some more tack packs lile Poseidon's Pack. Put them in Black Market and let us chose which tack item we want to use on our horses. At least, you can add some colors we can choose to Poseidon's Pack. Blue is not look good on every horse coat if we want to use it without customization items.

The number 3 is my personal request but the number 1 and 2 are everyone's common problem and I think many players agree with me. Please consider those things and make Howrse great again.

Thank you for reading this feedback.

You could have left the vintage apple off of being a reward.

Pass seeds are nice, but I wouldn't be surprised if we only get 1 - 5 of them... so not even enough to plant them. On top of that, its very rare to be able to acquire the others needed as they only appear once or twice a year usually. If we get the full amount, then you can disregard this comment.

I usually get terrible prizes from star rain, and very little chance to try again as they are stubborn to reappear. So I've previously been left feeling a little disheartened, hearing others getting Nyx and I get an easy to acquire, common item. So I am very happy the probability of them appearing has increased. Hopefully this means I may give me an additional 'shot' at getting a better prize.

Adding mash is completely unnecessary in my opinion. No one cares for it, its a dud. If anyone needs any its very simple to buy from the store. I don't consider it to be a prize. I kind of feel the same about the vintage apple too. I've never cared for the VA designs and I know many others feel the same.

Aging points are fine, but if its a small amount like those we can already grab by daily UFO's (1-6ish) then I wouldn't really consider those a prize either. 15+ might make it feel a little more special, and less of a consolation price.

I don't like to be so critical every time Howrse tries to do something *good* but in all honesty, these supposedly 'great' changes just don't make me feel any excitement anymore. I would be over the moon winning something like a companion... a golden apple... iris coat...

You know, something exciting?

Hopefully this means it may**
consolation prize**

sorry, typos.

I guess that's 95% of us winning one, singular, un, mash or aging point on celebration days then

Tiger has pretty much summed up my thoughts now that the shock of being in with a chance to win one, one.. mash or AP has sunk in.

I agree they cannot be classed as prizes or celebratory items by any stretch of the imagination. 10, 15.. maybe, hey it least it ain't just one..

VA - also not a prize for a lot of players. Dust gatherers. I currently have 24 and have put them up as UFOs but I even feel guilty about that now as I usually offer coloured tack. I'm just trying to build my stocks up after the Rider's Store event.

Come on Howrse, coloured tack would be a great celbratory prize! What, three or four times a year, not like anyone will be able to stockpile them and reduce the rarity.

Grumble, grumble, sigh.

MY FIRST star rain, yay!!

For those just joining us!
We worked on a brand new star rain that you will be able to see soon! Check out the full list of updates and features in the Dev's corner change log! Best wishes, The Howrse Team
