[UPDATED] Devs' Corner: May 2026

Considering nothing has yet been set for that team, anything can be sold. So it's weird to me if team horses aren't being auto-affixed just because sales is not at a number yet. But I guess that's a way people can prevent auto affixing if they wanted to I guess? Doesn't seem like something that should matter if it basically acts as "0." But at least that should clear up when team admins make those changes.

Not sure what to make of the team changes, in that I'm only on one team and it's mine and I'm the only member, so.... not sure the changes will really impact me much. But some of the changes sound like they will have a negative impact on how larger teams control/use their team horses, and make things unnecessarily difficult for them instead of being improvements.

As for the Safe Haven... It's nice that the horses who used to bring in 400e now bring in the 500e minimum of proper public sales, but having the Safe Haven as the first option was pointed out as being a bad idea on PreProd and clearly that was ignored. If few players really use the Safe Haven, it's because it offers such a poor price for the horses. As I type this, the cheapest horses in Directs are priced at 2999e. I doubt they'll sit in the sales for long at that figure. Even if some are UniFails they'll bring in a little more than the Safe Haven would offer, and if they're not, they'll bring in not much less than six times what the Safe Haven would give. It just makes better financial sense to put horses in the Directs, so placing "sale at the Safe Haven" as the first option kind of feels like a somewhat below-board way of trying to lead players, which is not supportable.

On the up side, at least when one clicks the option, one still has to confirm the choice, so hopefully that will help at least some players to stop and scroll back up and click a more useful sales choice.

I thought safe haven would bring something good in-

And no.

Instead it's easier to mistakenly put a horse there.

Normal horses in sales go for 2000, selling them to safe haven isn't popular NOT because it's inaccessible but because it's STUPID. It won't be any more popular now.

The end.

Instead of worrying about putting SH on the list for sales, how about another team update where you can reserve more then 1 foal for your team at a time.....we have Isis lol sometimes we have more then 3! It's a pain having to stop and do it one by one when we have the multiple sales feature for public selling means.

I don't think some of the fixes are working. I just birthed a foal and he did NOT automatically receive the team affix. I was also able to put a foal well above the team minimum GP in direct sales.

Okay, it's the next update. So has it been fixed or did you sweep it under the carpet or straw?

This is a huge slap-in-the-face for those of us who already had our Divines decked out.

I don't agree with the safe haven change either. The reason safe haven isn't used is because it doesn't do anything but essentially delete the horse from play. Who wants that? There are plenty enough horses in Safe Haven so I see no reason for Owlient to complain. Safe Haven is a LAST resort. Why do you think people wanted to be able to change their objectives? So we DIDNT have to put a horse in safe haven.

If you were to make a positive safe haven change, you have a round up of safe haven horses and auction/sell them once and awhile or have them actually age and interact instead of being "dead". People make enough sales mistakes without safe haven being placed right at the very top.

At least move it to the bottom so people don't put valuable horses in safe haven by accident.

The Safe Haven is a feature to help remove horses from play, and clear the system. Their information gets deleted, which is why they aren't put back in play. Players choose to put them there, so they probably wouldn't want them sold back into game play either.

There definitely needs to be some changes to the payouts for placing horses there though. The amounts we get aren't enough of an incentive when we can sell them for a few thousand more in the sales.

So still no Equestrian Center update for mobile???

Also I actually liked the way the safe haven was and I used it quite often. But now that it only gives you 500 equus per horse, I'm not planning on using it at all. So congrats, your remedy had the opposite effect.
