New features

"We're delighted to announce the grand entrance of our new trophies!"
I'm beyond even having a shred of caring-ness in my body, I really do despise the new trophy system and still very much prefer the old version. Yes I'm being petty and holding a grudge but I'm not a "carrot in front of the horse" type of player to the point of trading hard earned old trophy achievements for prizes. That's just my opinion before anyone wants to be offended at my words

Looked them over to see if my game play in the Ascent is going to cause unwanted pop up notifications and what do I see

This is very unfair
Lose in a room in Ascent of Olympus mode with more than a 90% chance of success

Sounds rather patronizing to me, but then again the self awareness is at a peak so kudos to that I guess

Just as you say, even though I can get rewards from them, the not so new anymore system feels not worth anything to me. Plus they're ugly.

Hahaha it hurts.

So, unicorns will be worth even less now?

New trophies for new divines

More trophies for existing divines would be preferable (or giving us our old trophies back would be great)

Oh that boat sailed long ago, they are already worthless soon as they brought out the Divine Quilin some players started breeding heaps of random unicorns and selling them for equus, totally ruined it for serious hard working unicorn breeders and teams to earn any passes from their stock.

It's actually well overdue and about time they capped how many fails your mare could suffer, I've had 12+ fails on many occasions and even upto 16 straight fails with my unicorn breeding program . I like the challenge and uncertainty of unicorn breeding, that's why l do it, but it really needed a serious tweak, so l am grateful for that
My question is, now that the uni breeding is capped, will l get an extra VIP perk to replace my current 1 out of 4 chance of naturally breeding a unicorn ?

Oh, and while we're on that subject, how about the other VIP perks l pay for that the mobile players receive for FREE, like automatic feeding the correct amount to your horse, auto entering comps, now the newest perk for mobile users boarding their horses and let's not forget the fact mobile users can still collect prizes and passes from the Promotional/Advertisement Videos, yet computer users STILL cannot and looks like may never get that function back...

Also might pay the Devs to take their time and think hard about the trophies properly before just rushing them in the trophies list, for example we had the Horses winning Rosettes that they are now removing from the list. l suspect this is being removed because some players might have been cheating and selling their horses with rosettes to their friends so they could achieve that trophy too

The VIP perks are well overdue for a major overhaul and tidy up too. No one who pays for this PRIVILEDGE, which is not cheap, will be happy seeing others receive some of our perks for free.

I'm pleased about the uni breeding change. I've hit 50+ fails in a row before and calculated my true probability at 1/20 over that time. Most games with an rng element have a cap too so I think its reasonable.

Was the trophy system changed to make it easier to add all these lazy ones?

The new passes notification system is completely unnecessary, annoying and an eyesore - we do not need the reminder every single day, and it should have been incorporated into the existing notification system.

Was there any UX testing at all? Having the pass homepage display packs with 4 x 500 fragments icons is super redundant. At least have pictures of the divines. It would also be helpful if we could see how many fragments we already had instead of having to go back to the Olympus page.

Agreed, the constant reappearance of the passes pack icon has become very annoying very quickly, at best it only needs to come up first login of each daily update, AT BEST!! not every time you log in or as l've noticed after an hour or two of playing it will reappear again, thought it might be a good idea when they first mentioned it, boy was l wrong about that. But like all things Howrse these days, they just don't know when to quit, they over cook everything

OMG, this pass pack notification is burning my brain, take it away, please, it's gonna drive everyone NUTS

Please do something about the pass notification! It's driving me crazy!! Who comes up with these ideas�

I think they finally turned the notification off? I didn’t get it this login.

You mean they actually listened to us????

Yeah, l think your right Frozen.
Thank god for that

Thank god they finally tweaked those dreaded Fragments and the abysmal drop rate that could push the cost of a Divine right up to the 10000 pass price.

It would have been nice if they capped the fragments at 50 per luck item, but having it at 32 fragments puts the cost of a Divine at around the 5270 when using TCrowns, a BIG improvement.
Of course if your smart and exercise a little patience and collect all available free Fragments on offer then that price can be considerably slashed and you make a big saving on passes. l had accumulated over half the fragments (540) for Supernova before l used any of the Crowns l had in my inventory or spent any passes

Yes Josey, so glad they have fixed the fragment drop. Looks like it will be different based on what they think the divine is worth, I got 27 for Longma in the HoP.

I was excited that they were bringing in a new way to filter creations but by creator is one of the most useless ways they could have done it
I dont look at the creator, and having to keep a list of them would just make it more frustrating specially when it comes to the landscapes - for those a category system would have been more helpful.

At least we can now work out the cost of the worst case scenario when trying for a Divine plus the fact the total cost has been slashed, and so it should be, the cost was outrageous the old way.

I agree on you with the new 'filter creations' by 'creator', won't be anything l'll be using any time soon. I don't choose my coats or backgrounds by who the creator is
l can think of at least a dozen better and more useful 'filters' l think most players would find useful than this one .

I would soooo love to see the Landscapes have another category added such as, Mountains, SeaScapes, Fields, snowfields, fictional, and so on, 8 different categories would cover everything l reckon, the colour filter only gets you so far, and l'm sometimes left wondering where is the 'Blue' in that ?
