[UPDATED] Devs' Corner: May 2026

objectives should remove the donkey and draft objectives as well as the de-horn, pull wings, and remove youth.

Overall not a fan of this update. Once again they decide to put a new coat of paint over things that really didn't need it rather than actually listening to what the players want :/ I absolutely hate the new co-account design, it's actually harder to tell who is who, and the simple green indicator worked incredibly well. The rest of the design is fine I suppose, but still: why fix it if it ain't broke?

Has anyone else NOT received new objectives today?

Adding extra:
The Configure simplified training is not working Rides are fine and can be changed, but training times stay the same even if I try to change them.

2 things:
1) The simplified training setting for VIP is in a crazy order. What logic said "let's go stamina-gallop-speed-trot-dressage-jumping"?
2) When I change the simplified training times in my settings, they do not change for my horses. So it appears I have a wasted VIP perk until this is resolved. Not happy, seeing as VIP costs me ~33 passes per day.



Oh, and:
3) Would the howrse team PLEASE stop fixing things that aren't broken! We have had several "buggy" development rollouts in the past few months, and for the past few months the players have also been dealing with an absolutely ridiculous lag on the howrse server which renders the game unplayable for up to 12 hours/day.

YES!!!! What ~Fifi~ said above!

Fix the lag! Stop breaking things that aren't broken! Howrse isn't losing players because their co-man sharing account layout looks a particular way (or any of the other things howrse "fixed" this time). They are losing players because the game is virtually unplayable during the horrid latency times (about 11 pm EST to 4 am EST).

As for the changes themselves, well, sure I guess I really wouldn't care if they actually WORKED and if there weren't real issues the howrse team is ignoring, They are unneeded changes I guess howrse programmers need to do to have jobs...

I think we can all agree that the account page didn't really need to be updated, it was fine the way it was.

But for the sake of all that is holy, PLEASE fix the LAG on this game!

I really do wish that Howrse would add a dark mode, especially if they plan on updating the whole site, not just our account -page. It is really bright right now and it's not really working well with Howrses basic color scheme.

And I also hope that they fix that co-management bug. And take a better look at what is causing this website being so laggy at times. Like it can't be just our devices, especially since there is people playing this game all over the world, and everyone is experiencing "the lag" at the same time, no matter what devices they use, no matter what internet they have and no matter where they are located. So please take a look at it and try to fix it soon. All servers don't have it as bad as international.

As someone who has spent well over half her life studying the Jack The Ripper case, your choice to use "mutilate" here is really, really overdramatic... Please save the Drama for the Chihuahuas (and goodness knows that my Chihuahua cheerfully manufactures her own Drama, lol).

As for those objectives... If people don't like them, I encourage them to not do them. I especially LOVE the objective to remove WoY, as I always have old (25+) horses upon whom that item is absolutely useless in my eyes, and I'm happy as anything to get rid of it, since WoY cannot seem to do the decent thing and "fall off" when Morpheus' Arms does... After a horse has all the skills it can get from Missions, WoY gets really useless and annoying to me.

I always have AP or "mothballed" horses bought cheaply with equus that I can remove wings or horns from, so I also don't mind those objectives. So honestly, there's no "waste" of passes, or of Medusa's Bloods won in promos, just a gain of passes from doing the objective. Again, if one doesn't like these objectives, we have free rein to just skip them.

The new Account page is terribly *bright*, though, isn't it? Luckily I don't spend much time on that page, so it is more of a surprise than something bad. I seldom use night/day settings on websites but I see the sense and the use of them, and I agree that it would be good if Howrse developed this for the people who want and need it.

I've got VIP and wanted to check out the Statistics bit, but its asking me to register AGAIN for VIP!


Is anyone else experiencing this?
