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,
The Howrse Team

    I have an idea for the devs:

    Why don't you put up a survey to determine which BMIs and store items players actually value as diamond, gold, silver and bronze so that you can stop overvalueing items that nobody cares for. Like, you can give the players a list and ask them to order it according to what they value most to what they value least. Or ask them to sort it into the different categories (diamond, gold, etc). Maybe after that we can get some decent promo prizes in their proper categories, not like 10 APs being considered precious for example. Also, don't forget to add a "this does not belong in a promo" category for prizes like 2 APs that we can easily get from catching a UFO. I don't think anyone would be desperate enough to go out of their way to get 2 APs or spend passes on a randomized chest to get 5 APs.

    I'd also suggest that you only send it out to players with (for example) more than 500 days of seniority so that you can get a better reflection of what players actually value rather than sending it to new players who will likely consider everything to be precious because they have no or little resources and/or no idea of what items they really value. Of course that might prevent returning players who do know what they value from participating in the survey so there might be a bit of a problem with that though. So maybe just send it to everyone who has access to daily objectives then instead of adding a seniority minimum?


    This. Please. This needs to happen. So badly.

    Most of the new prizes for the star rain are meh in my opinion. Considering how few and far between they happen (twice a year maybe), Hera and Nyx packs are the only real good ones.

    On the other hand, thank you for listening to all the players who have been asking for the ability to change the affix on bulk horses.

    Something I think would be wonderful with the multiple horse selection would be to have the option to open them all in new tabs.

    Imagine one player getting a mash and the other getting a nyx pack. Like... those prizes are *not* equal.

    The text in the reindeer rankings box has changed to French. This happened yesterday on preprod and I reported it, but I see it's the same here too now:
