The horses right now are not ugly. They are a lot better than horses on other games. One of the main reasons I started playing howrse was because of the way the horses looked.

For me personally its not that they are suddenly perfect. Its they dont make me cringe or scare my sisters. I showed my little sister the new coats and she cried and asked "Is all my pretty horsies going to look that ugly too?" The ones we have look friendly, the new ones look ugly and dead and quite frankly, scary to smaller kids because of the dis proportion and bad choice of pose and skill in drawing them.

The only ones I don't like are the connemara, and Australian. I don't see what is wrong with the old ones. Quite Frankly, I think the old coats are the worst ones.

I hope so

Was tthere really any need to double post that?

I think the coats will be amazing, remember this is not the first or the last update of the coat, i am very excited! I am also very excited for the new EC!
Stop complaining, this coats are getting better and better, so what if the coat isn't exactly how you want it? It's better than what we have now... right?!

I could not agree with you more

In my opinion no I love the coats we have not , these new ones look quite strange .. I live on a farm with TBs and they look NOTHING like that , if I showed the TB to my TB I think he'd faint

What's happening to the DA's ?

Yes, they had to re-word it, and since posts cannot be edited...

I prefer the old coats...The V.3 Arabian coat and V.3 Standarbred coat is about all I agree with. I really really dislike 98% of the new coats...:/

Will the tack show on golden apple, silver apple, fifth element, and bewitched pumpkin horses?

Not to the best of my knowledge.

The new coats aren't better though.
The Quarter Horses look malnourished, the Mustangs faces remind me of those disgusting over-muscley body builders and the Gypsy Vanner lacks feathers and anything what makes it look like a Gypsy Vanner (also the eyes make me think it looks like something what ought to be a horror film). And not to forget the Curley looks sweaty and the Thoroughbred's forehead looks scarily bulged out. Need I say more?

Only a few coats are actually improvements (e.g. the Akhal Tekes)

Yes, I see. I'm sorry, I hadn't noticed that.

I said the wrong thing and needed to change it.

I think she or he is right.

That's ok.

The new horse bodies are horrible if they change them to that then im not playing this game anymore

Our beautiful Gypsy Vanners are going to have half their mane cut off. Now they aren't special any more.

Not to mention, they have less detail then the others. It looks like someone quickly drew a horse, coloured it in and didn't add any details in the mane. It looks like something I'd do on paint for fun.

Some of the coats look beautiful and others not so much, especially for Gypsy Vanners and Mustangs. I'm hoping they get changed into something better and more attractive looking.

You don't know that for sure yet, none of us do, and from what Howrse has mentioned recently it's starting to sound like we might not have to 'buy' some things to begin with. For instance, the inside Howrse blog post about the EC changes mentions this:

"A new economic system
Forests and mountains will also offer another benefit; they will provide you with raw materials, in order to craft items or produce by yourself, instead of having to buy them."

And Ow posted this in the EC production cycle suggestions thread:

"For instance an equestrian centre in the Mongolian steppe where you raise sheep for wool to weave saddle blankets for horses…"



Is that a reasonable expectation to begin with? You're essentially saying that people who can't or won't invest the time, money or effort into competing in one of the more intense aspects of the game should have an equal opportunity to do so... What would be the incentive for people who invest a lot into their games and where is the challenge in that?



For this analogy to be correct the 'rich' would be intentionally sabotaging the the progress of the 'poor' on Howrse and that is not an accurate reflection at all. For starters there are plenty of ways in which you can gain wealth that is independent of the influence of the 'rich'.
Howrse is a 'free to play' game and under that model players are offered the choice of either grinding to gain wealth (ie spending a lot of time in the game farming APs and passes) or investing real money and by-passing that. If a player doesn't want to spend the time or money is it really reasonable for them to expect anything from the the game?

Also with me being a Paint loving breeder, their coats don't look so good either !
