[UPDATED] Devs' Corner: May 2026

I agree with the majority of players:

1.) I DO like the setup of the new account page but it is way too bright! I have the same issue with reading the new notification center. This was a change that could've waited.

2.) The updates on changes are way too vague! Please start actually listening to your players when doing stuff.

3.) What EXACTLY have you changed about the "Reach XXX years old with one horse" objective? I hate surprises but even I know that game changes are not something to surprise players about, if that is the intent by the vague descriptions and explanations.

4.) Correction of bugs is always welcome! I do have to thank you on that. Despite me never actually having witnessed any of these bugs, I do hope that the fix has helped others with their game-play.

5.) I feel as though the "Deleted the covering offers from a unicorn when its horn is removed" was rather unnecessary. There are many other changes that are needing implementation but you are clearly ignoring doing so. I hope you start weighing what should be priority versus what can be put on the back-burner.

My final opinion is that you start delaying the cosmetic work and start focusing on the more important complaints. But then again, many players have been complaining about this in the update forums but nothing is getting done about it. I highly doubt the developers even read these anymore.

I hope my comments help the developers or other players! Happy Howrsing!

It is, apparently, much easier to tweak things or change things that actually add little to nothing to the game rather than spend time and money fixing things that have long needed fixed.

I do not like the white background on anything. It is too bright, even for those of us who aren't sensitive. It makes things harder to see. The horse coats, for instance...they do not show up as nicely nor look as attractive when you have to squint to block out the bright light behind them!

The lag is SO frustrating!! As has been said...not our many different devices, our time zones, our internet, period. It's the server. PLEASE fix it!! It just wastes our time and kills our enjoyment.

Yes, more details on any changes that you make, for clarification...helps avoid the same questions and comments being made...and saves us time and frustration trying to find the answer!

And on a side note: I do not understand why people need to single out any player for the words they choose or their opinions. It's totally rude and unnecessary. This is supposed to be a forum to let the DEVS know what we like and don't like. If you don't like someone's opinions, or how they express them, then don't click the heart in the corner! No one should be shamed for stating their opinion! If it isn't appropriate, the Mods will remove it.

Here's an idea that, if used, might satisfy many players if not all of them...

Allow a "skip" for Daily Objectives the way we have a "skip" for voting on new coats and backdrops.

When we vote on creations, we have 50 votes per day and can "skip" three times.

What if Daily Objectives allowed 1-2 "skips" per week? You get one you don't like or want to do, you click "skip" and get a new one.

If Daily Objectives allowed 1-2 "skips" per week, maybe that would allow people who really hate removing wings and horns and WoYs to still have a chance (though not a guarantee) to complete the week and get the HOP. This also would help out newer players with ones like the "get the color bonus" ones, which some of them might be able to do easily, and others not so much.

At the same time, a maximum of two "skips" per week would not (hopefully) make it "too easy" to complete the week's objectives, since they should be at least a little bit of a challenge and not a "given".

Of course, there would still be the chance of seeing the skipped objective pop up again later in the week, but that comes down to using "skips" wisely, not totally unlike using them in voting for creations.

It's a thought. It still wouldn't make Daily Objectives so easy that they'd just be a "given".

For me I don't really like all these updated pages because everything is enlarged and you either need to zoom out to see the whole page on your screen or have to scroll to the information you are looking for. The type is spaced out so much that you have to scroll to see everything. Plus it seems like every time a page is updated we lose some functions that were handy. Like being able to preview backgrounds before buying them. I usually zoom in now 300% so I can get an up close view of the background but then it becomes difficult to navigate. I also miss being able to see what horses have the background already. I can still go to the Creation directory to find out but seeing that the whole site seems to be slowly being converted I suppose it will no longer be available there either when it is updated.

Also for me I liked the older icons and background colors that we had before. The new icons are gray and faded. The gavel and horse head and brightly colored gift box were easier to discern than the new icons in our Notification center. I know we can use the drop down filter to see different information but it felt a lot easier to just take a quick look in our Office. Although I do like being alerted now when my Greyfells die so I can resuscitate them right away. I used to forget them all the time. I hope too that the links to the players we buy horses from is added back in. I really liked being able to congratulate them.

I guess I just prefer the more compact format we had before. The new format feels uncomfortable like someone standing too close to your face or someone posting messages in all caps.

I'm glad though that we can still access our item history from the Black Market and Store pages. I like being able to see if I received an item from the promotions.

Please oh please suggest this to Howrse using the Contact Us! This is a great idea that should be brought straight to the developers' attention seeing as they don't read the feedback in the forums.

I love that idea. The cover a unicorn or donkey or draft of heaven help me the "give birth to a unicorn" have totally ruined a full week of objectives for me.

I like knowing about when workshops are completed while I'm on mobile version.

You have to have choose the access stats perk for VIP. It under the choose 10 options

Me when I go to the My Account page:

In all seriousness, I do agree that a duller color, such as the normal muted green, would be much easier on the eyes than the bright white that was added in the update. Hopefully this can be changed so it's easier on the eyes!

If you don't have the statistics perk, you can't view VIP statistics. Are you sure that's one of your 10 chosen perks?
