New features

Yes X 1000! I also hate the water of youth objective. I never use them, so I have to buy one, put it on a horse then take it off again - stupid, and a waste of passes!

Not sure if this is the right place for ideas/suggestions, so please tell me if I need to remove this.

I'd really like a filter (similar to the 'show competitions for low-level horses'), for comps run by players. So when searching for competitions to enter my horses into I can choose ones run by players, instead of Ow's Competitions. I'd like to help other ECs run their comps more often, but to do that currently, I have to often spend a lot of time sifting through Ow's Competitions. To be clear, I don't mind people filling up these comps, but sometimes they drown out the others even if you fiddle around with the sorting options (difficulty/spaces left).

Thank you for making time zones somewhat available to alter again

When are you going to change the default selection for BMI's to take the item from your inventory (when you have items in your inventory) before it uses our passes!!
All these ridiculous changes on how things look, but you seem to REFUSE to make the important changes required to be fair to players.
Been asking for this change for over 2years now

Since the new page change when placing a BMI on your horse I've noticed that I no longer see how many of that particular item I have in my inventory (unless I go to my inventory) this is a problem because I sometimes won't use a BMI if I'm low on that particular one.

Also when I want to bolt a horse, it doesn't show the gender anymore, so I have to go back to the horses page to make 100% certain that I'm changing the gender correctly.
I think these two issues are very important and really should be rectified. asap.
I still don't know what was wrong with the old system
Maybe I can understand you want to change the look, (mind you, we are the one's who have to look at it, and I don't think too many players are happy with the new changes) but please, keep the features that make it easier for players to NOT make a mistake because all the information relevant isn't available to them.

I agree! I still don't understand why functional features are not being incorporated in the new look - I am still waiting patiently for a proper preview for rays to be brought back... ray hunting now is excruciating

Patience is wearing thin

I am getting really frustrated with the backward steps on the BMI pages - particularly the customization pages...

I have a love/hate relationship with this game now. 7 years ago the game felt like it was based around community, art and strategy. Now I feel like the soul of it is missing, but I’m not sure who to hold responsible for the business model.

But to whoever is in charge of developing the new divine/legendary/wandering horses, please place more emphasis on unique and intricate pieces of art. Especially if the perks of these horses are going to continue being terrible investments for the player. I am disappointed in the aesthetic of the wandering horses in the latest event, and I am unwilling to put time or energy into trying to collect them regardless of the bmi’s on offer. I dislike this style in general, but can respect that for some it would be a favourite. Please continue to take into account the value of variety, intricacy and character in pieces of art. I am afraid to loose more soul from a game I have loved for a very long time.

In saying that, credit has to be given to the creator(s) for the backgrounds found in ow’s Helios ray. They improved to an impressive degree from when the item was originally released, and many are extremely well designed, as well as having the benefit of a higher resolution than most of the player made backgrounds/skins (that resolution problem in regard to black pearl designs/uploads would also be a good thing to fix if possible)

Overall I love the game, am excited to have an input on something important to me, love and appreciate the thought and effort that goes into making it run smoothly. And hate the new business model it has developed

I think what would make it easier and fairer is that if a horse has won a rosette in said comp, it shouldn't be able to enter that comp again. The comp wouldnt loose prestige as there are new horses coming through everyday. But the comps continually get blocked by the same horses everyday. Sooo... If they can only win the rosette once, then they should only be able to enter it once. Seems fair.

My 2 cents worth too

Before the last update, using the back button on my browser would take me back to an updated version of the page just left - this doesn't happen anymore... eg, I just put tack on a horse and went to the comp page - I decided I needed to go back to the horse's page for a moment, so used the browser back button, and behold, it was saying my horse still needed to be specialized! A refresh fixed it, but it can be a bit disconcerting

yes Ive noticed it too, very annoying, in some cases i have thought that i must not have done anything with it which causes all kinds of issues,

This happened to me too- I almost fed my horse again!

> Added a limit to the public covering offers to combat cheating and optimize performance. Each player can now offer up to 300 public coverings per day. This will not affect the coverings reserved for a horse, player or team.
> Added the number of completed and available public coverings to the VIP stats.

Absolutely ridiculous that hardworking, dedicated players are once again being punished by capping what you deem as “acceptable” (reminder:AP farming). 300 public coverings really is not much at all, at 5 covers per horse that’s only 60 horses. On the same horse that’s only 5 years (10 without WoY). I used to very easily offer thousands of covers.

It’s even more ridiculous that this negative change is being incentivised by adding it as a VIP “perk”, which means you have to lose something else.

Please focus on fixing things that are actually broken, like the performance issues.

Also, if this is really caused by an overpopulation issue, you could, I dunno, stop offering a new divine every 3 weeks.

>Standardized the name of the breeding farm by default in the classic and in the mobile version.

What does that actually mean?

>Added the number of completed and available public coverings to the VIP stats.

It's a shame we are not permitted to choose more than 11. That's way less than 50%. Why? Just why? We do pay for the perks.

>Added a "Performances" section indicating a foal's genetic potential and skills on its birth page.

I do like this change. Thank you for that.
