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,

    Most of these new objectives should give more than a measly 10/20 passes, they are a lot of work and/or a high price to pay for a very small payout.

    Also, just saying, if we are going to have to set off a crop, please allow us to get a part harvest from cancelling an ongoing production. Having to cancel even one field of cows could cost us over 150000 equus in profit if it is a large one with a trough - not fair or worth it

    Cover a female donkey unicorn is one??? Those are pretty expensive, and if I’m getting a 10 or 20 pass return whats the point

    Also the ride ones are horrible. I’m not using that many APs to do a measly objective. Should’ve stuck with the old objectives, they were fine

    I just got "complete 40 missions." That's a lot of time and APs (I'm not heavily invested in the game, more of a casual player) for just a few passes.

    I think Howrse realized that players were less likely to buy passes if they could get a bunch from doing objectives every day, so they decided to make the objectives a lot harder so people can't/won't do nearly as many and will have to purchase passes.

    It's not like there weren't already objectives that were extrememly difficult/impossible for a lot of players, especially newer ones.

    Perhaps they should only require 1 objective completed per day to keep the Horn meter going, as I can see many not being able to do loads of these objectives. This was meant to replace the pass horses, which was a possible 3000 passes a month if you went for all of them, so now we probably aren't even going to get the full 840-930 passes a month the replacement was supposed to offer. If anything, these would have been a great way to introduce a bonus objective each day for 30 passes, which isn't needed to keep the Horn meter going, just extra passes for completing a hard objective.

    Definitely. Someone in Game Play got trigger a Fallabella bonus....What if you don't have a fallabella? Groom a divine horse was hard enough for most players, let alone needing a specific one. I don't have a fallabella because they don't appeal to me, why force people to try and attain divines they don't want for the sake of an objective? Howrse shouldn't give objectives like that to people who A. Don't have the divine and B. Don't have the passes to get said divine :/

    I've just looked over on UK and shuddered a bit, my current cows require 23 days, all of them, so fingers crossed I don't get that objective and have to choose between cancelling and keeping. Like, it wouldn't be as bad over here, I can do almost any objective, but UK and AU are servers where I don't have access to a large chunk of resources and these are my only real pass earners. default smiley :(

    I personally feel that not much consideration was put into some of these objectives, I literally have tons of resources to burn, over 150 unique divines, rosette winners, tons of unicorns, yet I feel that even with all of this I am going to struggle, never mind someone that doesn't even have close to what my account has.

    Yeah, pass horses were expensive if you just bought them ready to send each month, but at least you got the passes and didn't need to have so many aspects covered to get them.

    I don't really understand this "the number of objectives available for each player has increased"? Does this mean we are supposed to have another objective? Or is it meaning that there are just more "new" ones? I did my two but don't see that I have any more.default smiley :s

    The objectives in the pool have been increased. We still only get the 2 per day.

    I'd still love it if all of our objectives were available to us from the first of the month, and even if we had to complete them in order, and had a limited number of exchanges to skip some, we could complete them at will throughout the month. If it's possible for someone to do them all in one day, then they could do so.

    If we can't have our previous 1000 passes per month, greater flexibility in when we get them during the month would be amazing.

    Thanks Legacy Ann, that's what I thought but the wording threw me off.

    I also, agree with your idea, "I'd still love it if all of our objectives were available to us from the first of the month, and even if we had to complete them in order, and had a limited number of exchanges to skip some, we could complete them at will throughout the month. If it's possible for someone to do them all in one day, then they could do so." Great Ideadefault smiley (y)default smiley (y)
