l really like the sound of the changes to the Lottery

I'm hoping it brings us back closer to the Original Lotteries, when it was exciting to see what you won in each draw

Fingers Crossed

As an older player returning again, can someone please explain the origin of the piggy bank?

It's quite a hefty tax on our sales with very high sales goals for each milestone,,, and each milestone may have BMI we don't even want/need/can afford at the time of of offering?

Surely nobody actually asked for it?

The Dragon Divines were badly thought out when released, can't believe it's taken so many years to finally get a solution to the SLOW & PAINFUL amount of time it took to work them. At least now l can put them all back into work to receive their gift, instead of putting them aside like l did because it took up sooo much time to get thru them.

Better late than never as the saying goes :

That is SO much better. No idea why it took them so long to add that option. have ignored the dragon divines completely because of this.

I hardly touch my Nordics or wind's either because it just seems such slow process and just extra clicking (seriously, my winds often give me a whip. That's just a waste of time).

My favorite divine is Celeris - He is super easy, and the reward/effort ration is great.

I really hope you don't ruin the Accent of Olympus with the new changes. It's one of the only things left in the game that I actually enjoy and that helps with make the annoying fragment system bearable.

I'm so utterly dissapointed in the AoO overhaul, but then again since when has this game cared about its playerbase.

How I imagine the discussions about these ascent changes went: “players are getting too many divines for free (the horror!), and since we are a money-hungry organisation who doesn’t actually care about player experience or satisfaction, this must be fixed immediately (but we still need to phrase it as though this is for the players’ benefit lol)”

So, you have ruined the AoO. Why am I not surprised.

The affix update? really? why doesn't howrse just play our games for us? why do we all get conformed? why fix something that isn't broken? why not just give us the old trophies back? why run a game so far into the ground with each new fandangled update, to the point we're miners now.

Also why claim to fix something that only really needed a litte patching but then go throw it against a wall and hand it back and say here you go fixed it? cause it feels like AoO met a wall at high speed and y'all were like "I like it, picasso"

I genuinely don't want to play the Ascent anymore, I'll give it a go but I will detest every single second.

While I'm at it
Why use discord? Howrse discussions should be on Howrse, not on a platform howrse itself has minimal control over.
Do y'all actually care about the player base? casue it feels like you really don't.

I mean I've got ideas, I'd love to see more coloured tack to encompass the iris coat colours, or there could be an BM item for matching tack on iris coated horses.
Either different colours for the Knight and Samurai Tack or another couple tack sets, I'm sure there's variations that could be done.

For me it's honestly reached a point I don't know how much longer I can hold out playing this game.

Athena - 119 horses obtained
Hephaestus - 113
Hestia - 107
Apollo - 88
Artemis - 90
Poseidon - 95
Demeter - 79
Hermes - 79
Aphrodite - 92
Ares - 74
Hera - 73
Dionysus - 69
Zeus - 67

I have just gotten Nyx.
There is 2 days left so the number could change, however 32 horses obtained for Nyx.
I think the numbers speak for themselves so far.
I really hope Howrse consider reverting the Ascent difficulty back or at least reflect on it because my drachma runs were absolute nightmares and I have never struggled so much, normally I play obols and save drachmas but I was rarely winning with obols.

45 Nyx obtained
Still a drop from Zeus's 67

The rankings page just means more clicks to me, I never had any qualms with the last layout.
