New features

I'm still waiting for the stars to be added back so I can rate these dev changes
I don't see why they were taken away in the first place, it honestly feels like Howrse is making rather sly moves in order to take our voices/inputs/opinions away. I cannot remember an announcement being made to signify the removal of the rating system. If there was send me and the direction and I will reconsider my opinion on the matter.

Also the hypocrisy of
"Using a language other than the game's language or using SMS language" when this emoji literally exists.... pretty sure is SMS language/chat speak, just sayin'

Wow Knyphain I didn’t even notice that restriction on language.

Prescribing how players communicate is ridiculous. The Howrse team should be the last people to criticise given the number of times they forget to translate their messages

Really, some clarity around the context in which that rule applies is needed. E.g. private messages, pages, etc.

This server (and the international one) have the privilege of attracting players from all over their world and if they feel more comfortable speaking their own language then so be it.

"It is no longer possible to use passes by mistake on items you have the benefit of and meet the conditions for"

STILL WAITING for clarification on the details of this NEW FEATURE please

I have to question what is the point of this forum if you (Admin) refuse to answer our queries about new features added to the game.?

"This is for privileges, for example the Fertility Wand and Aphrodite's Tears privilege you can get in the Christmas packs." was the response to a similar query on the uk server

which to be frank the wording "It is no longer possible to use passes by mistake on items you have the benefit of and meet the conditions for" leads me to think its referring to the items I have in my inventory.

"It is no longer possible to use passes by mistake on items you have the benefit of and meet the conditions for such as Fertility Wand and Aphrodite's Tears privilege " all that had to be done was add that it was referring to the privilege's and that would've stopped a lot of players confusion.

My apologies, I'm not quite sure what happened but I do recall answering on 28th March.

I'm afraid I don't see any post from you EchOw on the 28th of March answering any questions players have asked, you still haven't answered or clarified exactly what this feature actually refers too.
I've never had an issue with passes being used instead of the Wand/Tears privilege so I'm at a loss to exactly what it refers too, should have been when you put a BMI that you have in your inventory on your horse, but clearly that's not the case,

"It is no longer possible to use passes by mistake on items you have the benefit of and meet the conditions for"

I'm still waiting for the stars to be added back so I can rate these dev changes - Qutiong myself cause I can

We all know how I feel about being pushed towards social media platforms and TikTok is the one you'll see me dislike the most. Young players should not be pushed towards this platform and older players probably aren't even going to even give it a second of their time. TikTok has come under fire many times, just type in "tiktok and data collection" and scroll the articles popping up, read them. Its literally made the news headlines in Australia.
Get that YouTube channel tuned up and running instead of diving into the controversy that is TikTok...

Agreed Knyphain - the push towards TikTok demonstrates clear ignorance of our previous feedback and a complete lack of awareness of the current environment within Australia.

Many of those in the workforce (mostly those that can afford to fund your game, might I add), are actually banned from even having TikTok.

It also goes against Howrse’s previous guidance on account safety:
The game team and the moderators will never ask you for personal information such as phone numbers, email addresses (except for in specific situations only and discussed through our customer support system), etc... We will also never ask you for your password!

Sharing your personal information may give the other player the opportunity to contact you outside of the game or breach your account’s security.

And the only answer from Admin addressed to anyone on the 28th was:

“
Check out this month's brand-new features in the new Dev’s Corner!

Best Regards,
The Howrse Team”


Not sure how that’s an answer

Yeah, I 100% agree with both you guys about external social media sites this game is clearly pushing us hard to embrace

Never in a million years will I ever engage in such a ridiculous thing as TikTok, Discord, Instagram, Twitter or any of the other social media links the rest of the world seems to be 'addicted' too. It's actually pretty sad the direction the Human Race is taking


This game should remain it's own entity, but it's too late now, the cat is out of the bag and the developers have no intention of withdrawing it, but that doesn't mean I have to embrace it

I really like the new filters for water troughs, showers and tractors. Thanks

It would be helpful if the weekend promo banners could be viewed on the mobile version.

The rating stars.... why can they not be added back after they were so quietly taken away?
When will those lackluster medals "trophies" actually be addressed? They're quite literally shaped like medals, not trophies. Trophies refer to what we had before the Jan 3rd update and not these monstrosity's that continue to make my player page look like an absolute joke. Where has the uniqueness of our respective games gone? yes before that horrid update everyone still had the same trophies available, however you could quite happily pick and choose which ones to work towards. Players who may not have had the real life money to spare or had very little to pour into this game still stood a decent chance at having a solid trophy rating if they collected coats, special coats, companions etc. and now what have we? nothing to show the directions we are taking our game, nothing to show our hard worked for achievements, nothing to display except silly little medals that are set to parameters that only a select few could ever possibly achieve? yeah right treat us piggy banks next time but don't make it so obvious.
if this comes across as rude or snarky, I don't care anymore, I'm fed up and losing motivation for this game quickly. if it weren't for one sentimental reason I have I would've given up.

Why is there a monkey mascot for a horse game or am I just missing out on the monkey-awesomeness

I had the privilege to see the awesome interaction - a very long time ago (on the International server), when administrators used to be quite active in the fun topics, it was a friendly jest between the original head administrator and one of the most informative players the game has ever had. She still has a very cute and mischievious monkey of her own

The Equus or Pass counter is now updated without the page reloading when you receive free Equus or Passes from a divine horse. - I mean, okay, cool. I never really saw a problem with that but I suppose its nice.


Added a "Mark as read" button in "My private mailbox". - Also okay, cool. I've never been annoyed that I've had to click into mail to make it read but I suppose most things have this function, so I suppose this is nice too.


Added Javanese characters to the list of forbidden characters - I honestly have no idea in the first place..

the UPDATE RATING STARS they'd be very nice to have back please and thankyou
Y'all just be reaching into the bottom of the things to update hat for real.

Well the ‘read’ button is well overdue and will save tonnes of times when I don’t log in for a while, so thanks

however I really don’t know why your team is so threatened by other languages? should we start banning accented french characters?

This is the Australian Server, English speaking, so I don't believe any other language should be allowed, it just isolates players, just like 'text talk' is banned, it's of no value and has no place here if other players cannot understand what's being said.
Most countries have their own servers as well as the International server so players are free to use their preferred language on these servers.
Nothing Racial about this, it's just common sense.
