New features

Very unhappy about the "Start a Crop" objective. I hope the new options are better.

What poor additions to the objectives pool!

The “breed a unicorn” objective was inconvenient enough, but adding “cover a donkey unicorn” is just ridiculous - especially on such a small version.

Only 3 are in sales and at a price of 500 passes or 1.5 million.

Not thought through at all.

These new objectives don't seem too thought out and pretty disadvantageous to players that are just starting out. Even if you are an established player with a diverse range of species they still seem pretty time consuming/unachievable. Yes you can switch an objective but what if it just give you an even worse one to do?

I will no longer be putting effort into the objectives. They are becoming so specific that even as a long term player (sometimes even because I'm a long term player) They are too disruptive to my game play. While I do just about everything that comes up, I do them to a particular timing. 'Start a new crop' in particular will mean keeping at least one meadow free at all times, a big loss in my income - and there is nothing to stop me getting it twice in a row. Too many others are totally luck based.
Then there are ones like ' trigger the falabella bonus'? I may not be comping much that day. 'Ride 40 hours in the mountains'? I may not have a horse at that point in training at the time, and using one of my idle horses will be taking time away from my other trainers.
And I shudder to think how a newer player will manage...
I had thought objectives were meant to be a way to help players gain a little advantage in the game, but obviously they are not.

Plus it's currently winter. Nothing grows in winter. Unless raising cows completes the objective it's impossible to complete during winter.

Trigger a bonus for the Falabella family by entering a horse in a competition

Um.
No.
These new objectives are weird and require too much time/resources.
Of course the idea is for us to get fewer free passes, but it makes the game less enjoyable, too.
And those of us who don't play competitively are once again penalized the most.

Greenhouses still work in winter.
But not everyone has them, or they might all be in use.

Whoops completely forgot greenhouses are a thing. Thanks

As always, I'm sharing your comments with the team.

Graphic changes
To make the covering information easier to read and understand, we changed the graphics of the horses page


LITERALLY stop "fixing" things that don't need changing! If we want to know the information about the horse were currently looking at buying or looking after we're going to click on the information button, I for one do not need it shoved in my face when a horse cannot be bred because it distracts my brain due to all the writing when I'm so used to there just being the Information and Covering buttons.

If it isn't going to be changed back on the next update or anytime soon why can't it not just be made customizable? I for one would change back to how it was if I had the choice. I am constantly breeding my unicorns and the changed graphics to the breeding box when they can't currently be bred does my absolute head in.

I honestly haven't seen anyone complain about how the Breeding box used to be before this update, I've mainly just seen people talk about the amount limited coverings for some breeds. Also with the Divines, I'm pretty sure most people, if they've read the Divine's spiel will know how to recognize if it can be bred or not, since it would usually say the can be bred to such and such and give birth too another named divine.

Even though my opinion probably won't be taken into account or listened to I thought it was still worth a try posting in this thread. (Also I know I probably repeated myself somewhere in all that, but oh well )

I have to say I LOVE the breeding information change, it's such a simple yet incredibly helpful element for players who breed daily and team horses in particular, pity it wasn't implemented right from the beginning, but better late than never, so thankyou.

Finally a change that actually makes the players game easier, it makes it 100% clear when the mare is ready to cover, no more trying to distinguish if the Cover button is highlighted or not which was a MAJOR annoyance for me since they changed that icon recently making it much thinner
I use this information on every horse I breed, and am constantly checking her stats as I breed her, so having that information upfront and not having to constantly click the information button to see where she's up to is a major benefit to my game, the less clicks we have to do the better I say

Sorry for the delay in posting this!

@Josey jojo some people like it one way, some like it the other. Therefore doesn't a customizable option seem the best way to go about it

I am somewhat the complete opposite of you, I relied on the covering button highlighting again to know when to breed my unicorns again
all the extra letters makes my brain scramble a tiny bit, less clicks may help you but I'm happy to have an extra click here or there

Yes l'd have to agree with you Knyphain, would be better for everyone if we could personalize it to suit each player.

Thanks for sharing your suggestions and feedback!
I'm sharing your comments with the team now!

Corrected the team loans' expiration.

From what to what? Where is the detailed information on what the change/correction actually is?

On behalf of a family member who sometimes does play on the mobile version, thank you for adding a link to contact us.

I'm very concerned that we are still getting game updates when the game slowness still hasn't been fixed
I realize this is probably complicated, but l would have thought it's an absolute priority. It certainly is to players trying to enjoy their game

I’m relieved I’m not the only one! Pages can take minutes to load… ridiculous

It is disgusting. And yep, you would think it would be a priority. As a top breeder and competitor, slowing down my (our) progress is very frustrating indeed

Yes, this has been a known issue since the last update, over 3 weeks ago now.

I think WE, the players have displayed a great deal of patience waiting for a solution, especially considering the Howrse team has not made this official and therefore no 'UPDATES' on the situation are forthcoming
