Can i just ask, what is the new tack going to be like, does anyone know or have pics of it?

I would guess that it is going to look exactly like the contest tack considering that's the first place we saw the new TB and Spanish Horse coats.

Shetlands have a certain pudgy-adorable quality that the new howrse model seriously lacks... [img] http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a4/Shetland_pony_dalmatian2.jpg [/img]

That Shettie is even fatter and cuter - and more hairy! - than the current one even! And they made the new one naked.

Do we know if the trophy images will change with the coats too, or if those will stay how they are like a memento to the old coats?
By Retired breeder, 31st March 2014 01:14:23

I don't breed Friesians, I just own a few, but I really disliked how flat the face is. Friesians tend to have a longer and more pointed face.... but the main thing that bugs me is (apart from the tail but I don't think it'll stay like that) is the colour, of all the colours available I really dislike how not-sleek the black coat looks on the Friesian.... it looks too bluish.

If Howrse adds a long mane to the mustang so that it covers the whole neck I think it could actually look very pretty.
By Retired breeder, 31st March 2014 01:16:05
remember guys
our opinions dont really count so they probably wont put manes on the mustangs
who knows though they might i guess...

I really like the thoroughbreds, the mustangs could use some work default smiley (lol), the curly horse I am loving!! I really admire the artists for trying their best to make the players happy, I think they did a good job.

They counted when they changed the appaloosa/paint body! Stay positive! default smiley ;) I'm sure if they get enough complaints they will change them just like they did with the other one default smiley :)

Do we actually know what the new tack will look like? Will it just be the same as the tack which is being used on the current promo? or are there any new peices of tack being added

I am almost 100% positive it will be... that's where this whole coat changing thing started in the first place anyway

When you start to hate Howrse because you don't like some of the coats, just remember V2 (which stuck around for a few months and then they ditched it for the current version thankfully) when practically everything was the same..and not very pretty..

Just bringing this up again for others who haven't seen it as well as some clarifications...

Click to display
a while ago another player said the reason for the change in looks for the gypsy vanners as well as Friesians (they didn't say anything about the mane and tail) was so that the new tack would fit properly. The polo wraps would not be able to go on properly with all the feathering around the hooves so this is the reason for them being almost non existent on the new coats.


In my eyes, Howrse has 2 options:

A) they keep the current body style of the previous coats (before the new coats were revealed in this forum) as well as the mane and tail style, while cutting down on the feathering around the hooves. Still keeping it there, but so when the polo wraps get put on, they will work well with the new imagery.

OR

B) they keep the body style and the feathering but once the polo wraps are put on, the feathering will disappear in the image.

I think these are both easy options that would make everyone happy.

Thoughts?

I just found evidence that they are listening to our feedback! Take a look at this!

Here is the current American Stock Horse graphic (Quarter Horse, Paint, Appaloosa, Argentinean Criollo)


Here is the one that was leaked to this topic a while back.



The general consensus is that it's neck is so long and thin that it looks like a "bobble head". Many people complained. It looks they read our comments and took action. Here is the "new and improved" graphic.



The neck is thicker and the chest is larger. They also lifted the head carriage by just a smidge and filled out the barrel. They're subtle tweaks, but if you open the image file urls on different tabs, and then flip back and forth between them, they're noticeable. I actually like it now! If this is what we can expect to see on our American Stock Horses and Argentinean Criollos, then I think I'll start breeding them more actively than I have in the past.

It also gives me hope that the other new coats we've complained about will be tweaked, too.


Really, it looks much better, i like it! Just tiny changes take a big effect, so they don't have to put in a lot of extra work. Better than listen to our complaints forever and asking for a new version of graphics. default smiley (lol) If they tweaked just Mustangs, GVs and Friesians, they would get rid of 90% comlaints. Shetlands need more work, though, they aren't fluffy at all.

We are getting new tack? Can somebody show a picture?
Also, does anybody know if the next promo?

Ii think we all agree the Akhal teke horses are the best change.
By Retired breeder, 31st March 2014 01:58:43
For me, the kwpns are the best change. Akhals second best. Curly next.
