New features

I suppose the new trophies give good motivation to attempt to get back into some breeding, and encourage more people to dabble in drafts and donkeys. I understand why it's not retrospective, but it's a shame for me because the majority of my breeding days are behind me haha so it's shown me how inactive I've been over the past year But that's the point, so there isn't such a big gap for newer players. Guess I'll have to put in some effort if I want to add some new trophies

I can not wait for the new donkeys coming tomorrow.

Who decided it would be a good idea to blur the page behind a pop-up? I'm not finding it at all helpful

5 stars for all three from me

I've been complaining about automatically selecting passes for BMI payment when you already own the item for quite a few years now so I am very excited to see this change finally being implemented. Hopefully this change runs smoothly and no more accidental BMI purchases via passes when they're not needed
It's a good feeling when you feel like you've been heard for once

Thank you for your feedback regarding the latest Dev's Corner! I have shared your messages with the team.

Very happy to finally see some of the changes we've been 'begging' for are actually being implemented.
I must have sent dozens of 'Feedback' thru 'contact us' over the past 5 years literally begging for the BMI passes default to be automatically set to our inventory, especially considering Howrse totally refused to replace the passes and take the bmi from our inventory when it was clearly a mistake, in my case l experienced it flip back to passes dozens of times because of loading delays when l had already selected from my inventory just as l clicked ok . Howrse have been taking advantage of this particular fault for many many years

And again now, improving the dismal attempt of changing our Trophy page, when no one on any server wanted it, to actually be user friendly and give us the important information we need, still not really keen on the look, but at least now l know what prize l'll receive when working towards completing another level of a particular trophy and actually knowing exactly where l'm at and how many points l need to finish. Big improvement on the mess we were left with.

Maybe that questionnaire done a few months ago is actually providing positive results the majority of players want to see on the game, just a darn pity it was done on an external site (discord) instead of here on the actual game. Still sctratching my head WHY discord is so important to Howrse when so many regular players refuse to use it.

I now have the water fountain back but I would like to add some comments about the Grand Prix.

I think the Grand Prix needs an overhaul in the prizes. Not having the water fountain for a few days made me realise what a little thing that is. Put an extra stroke on a horse and you are within 5 or 6 points having a fountain. The fountain is only really useful in early training/rides of horses and some divines, once blupped it is of no use what so ever. So all the expense, time and effort of producing GP horses entering 8 horses everyday just to get into the top 100 and get the fountain I have realised is a waste of my time and money.

Having prize money for GP best horses for 1 to 3 is fine but why oh why is 4th only a set of studs, worth about 40K equus, and the same people win every day and every week (no offence to those hard workers). While the people who buy from the top players and then spend big on BMI's to produce GP horses and enter the GP everyday and get in the top 10 or top 100 get no prize or benefit except the fountain.

I propose that the top 100 in the GP weeks end should get BMI prizes as well as the fountain.
Example would be top 100 entrants get an Achilles Heel, top 20 also get Nyx pack, top 5 also get a Cloud Pack.

I am getting rather cynical with the changes being made, now we have an opportunity to view the Helios Ray, it would be nice to be able to purchase the Helios Ray, rather than having to wait for one to appear in your black market list.Being forced to use the unlimited Helios Ray every time you want a background is ridiculous, there should be a choice available to choose which you want to use, I have never changed a background, and never likely to, so why cant we purchase the Helios Ray?

I have just discovered the helios preview doesn't work for the Zonkeymily...

Objective No. 1
Receive a gift through Item Donation

I had to switch objectives due to not having enough time left to craft something in my workshop to retrieve and I ended up with the one above. I'm pretty diligent when it comes to my objectives especially the ones that go towards Quindecim. It irks me when I get one that I've never really had pop up before. Not too mention just being slightly difficult as a player that keeps to oneself a majority of the time and in the timeframe I have to complete it. Consider me irked because I won't be able to complete that objective and my Quindecim loses passes.
I'm failing to understand why the objectives cant be reviewed and potentially changed.
Each day I get closer and closer to giving this game up

Hello,

I will share your suggestion of reviewing the objectives with the team.

However, if you need other players' help with one objective, please be aware that you can post for help on the Daily Objectives: Tips & Tricks topic.

Have fun playing!
