Does anyone know roughly how many passes we should be planning on spending to get Alice during the event? And which luck item she is in?

Reminder to buy a crown from this promo if you want Alice, they stay in your inventory, so you can save some passes and use it whenever after the event starts. (no multiplier for the crown)

Okay, sure it's pendragon wings. But the rest of the design is really well done. Besides the one hind leg in a weird position. But yeah, the wings don't even match the horse. Howrse has failed at their pegasus divines recently, it needs work.

So will the crowns be replacing all event divines now? That's kind of annoying default smiley (d)

Didn't they ruin the insular mine last time by making the chest meter stop moving after a set number of moves? I reaaaallly hope that was improved.. Or maybe not, I don't have the time to spend 2 hours trying to fill a board with rockets anymore. But that was the only fun thing about the event.

On that note, are the prizes even worth a crystal chest..? Let's see when the banner goes up..

Those don't look like Pendragon's wings to me.default smiley (8) They are different in a lot of ways. I mean I see *some* similarities. Is it a Dragon Divine? If so I'm disappointed it doesn't look more Dragon-like. Would be the least Dragon-looking one of the set.

Are we seeing the same horse, though?

Because that, I assure you, is NOT

Morgan le Fey.
She is supposed to be a Noblewoman, half-sister of Arthur (in some versions she's a Sorcerer and a Goddess). She radiates noblesse and prestige and power.
She dresses Green, the colour of Magic and Otherworldliness (see: the Green Knight).

She is NOT this Purple Hela Wannabe. What are those Skulls??? The bracers are skulls too??? What. Just WHAT.

THIS is Morgan le Fey


This is ALSO Morgan le Fey



That is not it.



And yes, I am very hurt because she's my favourite Character and she doesn't look like one.
She doesn't even look like

The Helena Bonham Carter one, which is old as heck for representation, but at least it TRIED to be more okay.

And again, as you can see, Green dress.



Me, crying in a corner: Whyyy default smiley :'(

Morgan le Fey, then it's a Grail horse default smiley :p


The color is COMPLETELY lifted from Pendragon, though. And the wings are just plastered on the model and it's sad default smiley :(

Well at least it's not a dragon Divine.default smiley ;) I don't know who Morgan le Fey is. I did a quick google search of her though.

I do think it is well done otherwise, perhaps the color scheme doesn't match the images you posted. But it at least does look like a sorceress to me.

They're not exactly the same, but they are quite similar.
Click to display

The color palette itself is the same, but they have some different shades and hues. I like Pendragon's color more, because of the gradients, but his shape is quite blocky compared to hers.

There are so many different interpretations of the King Arthur tale out there, that the artist(s) could have pulled from any number of sources.

The Morgan le Fey, or Morgana I'm most familiar is the depiction in Merlin (2008), and she turned evil in that one.
The skull/antler (or are they tree branches?) could be in reference to the Huntress, which was part of the Julianna Margulies version, and there's some other Morgana artwork out there with a skull. I'm glad they didn't choose the orange color of the dress she wore in that movie. I had to do some image searches to refresh my memory, and forgot she wore that orange dressdefault smiley (lol)

My issue is that most of the divines now seem too similar with their base color.

There are so many brown and tan coats, that some greys, even if they are identical, are a pleasant change of pacedefault smiley (lol)

Morgan reminded me of Morrigan when I first saw the image, actually. I do like Morrigan (and all of the Celtics as a whole), so I'm not sure that's a bad thingdefault smiley (8)

They should have saved that sort of creepy/evilish design for the fairy tale series. The evil queen from Snow White, maybe (not that model itself but along those lines)....Although, the design is pretty cool, it does look okay.

I kind of want the next grail to be the Green Knight that Gawain fought. Except don't make him be a boing boing pony default smiley (d)

Not thrilled that all the promos are using tyche crown for divines. They are a glorified hop for me and not being able to use item exchange is only adding to the cost.

They're clearly trying to flush out the items from the economy, because the Luck item giving divines are damaging their income (people just won't buy passes if they have 2000+ hops or TCs in stash, or some Scales).

That's very true, But specifically HoP's that are really draining them. I believe they are trying to get rid of the Horn of Plenty in some aspects.

I wonder if this stunt will do more damage to their income? I know for sure that I won't bother with the crown at all because it is the equivalent of junk. I can imagine a lot of other players won't bother with it because it's not worth it/it's expensive/they have bad luck and they don't have the passes to fill the meter to guarantee a divine. At least theres a chance that I'll go for the divine if I have 3 or 4 TCs in my inventory, which could easily lead to me splurging, but the crown is poo and I won't even give it a chance here. I'm not wasting the precious passes that I have on junk. Then again, I speak for myself considering that the crown has been the second most bought BMI for the last while.

And if they're really that desperate for money, I can see another devoted indigo situation happening. I'm still traumatised from the 4 fragments per HoP.. but maybe they learned that that will just drop their income by discouraging players from bothering, so *maybe* they won't do that again. Especially with the backlash that they got from overpricing stuff like slepinirs. But this is Howrse.. or maybe I'm just still traumatised- I looked through the rainbows on the special horses page last week and saw those 250 fragments sitting there..

And what if they change our weekend promos to only be in the crown and the long promos end up with the inventory items if they don't get enough cash from this cash grab..? default smiley :o

Doubtful. Players with the power to spend already HAVE those Divines. Why would they bother getting another copy, especially if they must, at all cost, shell passes?

Meanwhile, the new Divine is new, shiny, and most of all NOBODY has it, because it just came out. Completionists, people who just collect Divines or those looking for the cheap shiny ("cheap" by Howrse standards of course, but 2600 passes is still better than 6000 at re-release) WILL shell out default smiley :)

I actually like the crown better than TCs or Fleeces. It's cheaper, with the discount, and I feel like I get better items from it than them most of the time. I'd be more willing to go for a Divine in it than those items.

Is it possible they’re using the crown so they have more leeway putting more divines as weekend offers? It was always confusing when one item was occupied by the event divine and everyone was scrambling to save the luck items up.. like if there is an event divine in a TC and then the weekend offers after the event are in TCs (same with GFs) nobody had time to regain to TCs they lost in the event, and you can’t put everything in HoPs either. It just always seemed to me people were scrambling to keep up. With the crown, if you get the discount its cheaper then both the TC and the GF, and both of those items are free so Howrse can use them as weekend offer items. (And yea it still helps Howrse gain money but it gives players time to save up their TCs or GFs)....

Probably doesnt make sense but that was sort of my train of thought

I definitely agree that Morgan le Fey's wings look way too much like Pendragon's, and Legacy Ann is right about a lot of the divines almost being the same color. I always thought it looked like a sickly flesh color that rarely compliments a divine's design, and le Fey is no exception. Why was tan chosen as the base? I really like the rest of the design (wings excluded), but it looks like the artist ran out of time to color the horse itself.

And I also think Nalu has it right, that's not a Morgan le Fey design...

Are you sure that's Morgan? I think it's Morrigan. Morrigan has the ravens.
