Love divines will be in HoPs around Valentines Day (probably a pick-which-one-you want)
And two new Love divines: Kocham cię (Polish) and Ti amo (Italian)

anyone know when the Great Challenge starts?

Will this cause more prestige problems with comps? Since less horses will be able to enter into each type of competition? Or will it help solve them with comps with only horses with 20 wins (most of which will probably be higher skilled) can enter?

Forgotten Country

New Divine: Freya

She belongs to the Nordic divines.

Her gift is: a Pandora's Box

Forgotten Country


Welcome to the Forgotten Country, a brand new event!

A puzzle game where you must work your way from one end of the map to the other capturing territories and collecting prizes along the way.

How it works

Territories

Territories are tiles that already exist on the map.

Capturing a territory unlocks its prize.

To capture a territory you must surround the territory with placed tiles.

Clicking on a territory will show a small map of all the spaces required to capture the territory.

You must use tiles to link to new territories and access their prizes.


NOTE: You DO NOT need to place tiles on the diagonal to capture a territory.



Moving around the Board


The game board is big and there is no way to zoom out to see the entire thing at once, but it is easy to move around and explore.

To move:

Hold left click near the area you want to see and drag it into view (towards the center of your screen)

To see the prize for a territory:
Mouse over the territory's pre-existing tiles

To place a tile:
Left click on an available space (outlined in white)



Tiles

Tiles are composed of 4 sides, which can be part of 3 different environments.

You can only join tiles that match the same environment.

You can only place a new tile adjacent to a previously placed tile.

The spaces that are available for you to place a tile on are outlined in white. These are the spots you have unlocked by placing tiles adjacent to them.

Tiles have to match the tiles they make contact with on EVERY side.

Tiles have a random chance to spawn with a chest. The chest will open automatically when the tile is placed.

HINT: Some tiles can be placed down in more than one orientation.


Exchanging Tiles


Tiles come in several rarities, with certain configurations only available in certain rarities.

For instance, a tile with all 4 sides being water can only be a Diamond rarity tile. In this example, if you possess a Diamond rarity tile, but it's not the one with all 4 sides water, you can exchange the one you have for it.

If you do not possess any tiles of the correct rarity for the spot you have clicked on, the game will ask you if you'd like to purchase tiles.

How to win the Divine: Freya

Capture Freya's territory in the center of the map.

The white outlined box the photoshopped yellow arrow points to indicates where you can place a tile. The faded out tiles over to the right indicate a "territory" with a prize, and you can see which prize it holds when you hover over it. The brighter, in color tiles are ones have been placed.Clicking the "territory" gives you this little pop-up telling you where to place the tiles in order to unlock the territory and claim the prize, although it seems we just have to place tiles around all of the exposed sides of the territory, which is fairly straightforward.

You have to drag the map around in order to see all of the territoriesThis is the map when you have your browser zoomed out, but when you click to place a tile, you'll probably want to zoom back in so you can see your tile selection more easily.

You need to fill in a few tiles to complete a " territory". Although the tiles look like you need to match them to the next one, that is not the case. When you click on one of the squares outlined in white a pop up will show what tiles you have that could go into that space so any will work. The only ones that are specific are the all green or all blue ones and of course these are the rare ones. The special will be 5 tiles for 90 passes and you will probably get those rare ones in that package. Some tiles will have the wooden, gold and Chrystal chest icon in a corner and placing them gives you access to the spin wheel. Once you placed all the tiles needed for a prize territory, you win that prize.

That is it pretty much in a nutshell.

Welcome to the Decorations contest!

It's Easter Egg season and we want our players to create the most beautiful eggs!




How to play?

The concept is based on the Xmas trees decoration contest: use decorations for your eggs. Once your egg have all decorations needed, you can choose your prize and have divine fragments for the jackpot.

The player will have 3 slots (2 immediately available and a 3rd one to be unlocked by the help of the community)

There are 3 types of eggs:

“Little egg”, “Big egg” and “Very big egg”. Each size of eggs has 5 color variations (Yellow/Green/Orange/Blue/Pink) which offer different prizes.

As player, you will be able to place decorations where you want on the egg.


You will have to start with smaller eggs before accessing bigger ones (A small text will give you how many egg decorations you need to complete in order to unlock a specific egg).

Types of decorations

Shapes

Lines

Figures


How to get decorations

On first login: 3 lines per day

By taking your horses for rides: 4 shapes per day

By registering your horses for competitions 4 figures per day

How to win the Divines

Hanoverian

New for this edition:

The My egg page will display all creations the player made along with the gift given for its completion. They will be able to quickly share their creations on social networks thanks to the download button.

Hot take on the companions:

Companions are available in the form of a luck black market item, the Companions chest:

"Give your horses a companion!



Give your horse a companion and take advantage of the bonus it comes with! Companions are selected randomly from the list below. Every time you win a companion, it is removed from the chest, giving you higher chances of winning the remaining ones. When the chest gets empty, it will be once again refilled with all the companions from the list."

The companions chest costs 1 pass (new money) and contains 21 companions, which have rarities as divine, precious, rare or common. There is one Divine (llama), 5 Precious (owl, frog, dog, grizzly and wetta), 7 Rares (camel, sheep, kangaroo, cat, turtle, bear and penguin) and 8 comon (goat, squirrel, giraffe, swallow, rabbit, butterfly, hen and monkey).

The new llama companion gives a +10 dressage bonus.



I'll be trying to get all the companions from the chest over the next few days and will make sure to let you all know how many passes it takes me.

It's also worth noting while your horse cannot have multiple companions, you can give a horse that already has a companion the chest for one pass again. The current companion will be replaced with a random new one. So if you want your horse to have a specific companion, it may take a while and could be expensive but you're not stuck with whatever you get the first time.

Three companions are also available from the Egg Decoration event: The rabbit, the hen and the new ostrich:



The ostrich gives a speed bonus as opposed to the dressage bonus given by most others.

The hen is found in the Little Pink Egg and costs three of each decoration.

The rabbit is found in the Big Yellow Egg and costs 3 stripes, 4 shapes and 5 figures, as well as decorating 5 eggs prior.

The ostrich is found in the Very Big Pink Egg and costs 4 stripes, 6 shapes and 5 figures as well as decorating 9 eggs prior.

Great to hear the companions are making a comeback. Do you know if this is going to be a permanent BM item or something that only comes and goes like some other items such as bewitched pumpkin for example? Also by 1 pass, I am assuming you actually mean 100 pass, as per the new game economics?

Companion chest. It is a semi permanent BMI. It will be like the GF and TC and only offered at certain times. The cost is not determined yet but I expect it to be 100 passes.

I been playing with the companions chest on the test server. It costs 1 pass. Just 1, ot 10 not 100. Just 1. I hope it stays like that lol.

I am on the main test server and we asked Zowey if the 1 pass will stay. She said no and that it was for the testing only. Most of us on the main server expect it to be 100 passes.

Yeah figured it was too good to be true, but I hope the price is lower. 100 passes is too much for it in my opinion. For 100 passes I want to pick what companion each horse gets.

I'm assuming too that when we open a chest the companion will have to go straight on a horse? We can just open them and have the companion go into our inventory to be used whenever?

We can't just open them and have the companion go into inventory
