Did you guys figure out what was credited towards EC competition trophies for you today? Has there been a transfer for some players of earlier progress beyond the 1 month mark, perhaps?
I got nothing and I've hosted 5000+ comps, my trophy is still at 150 comps...

A mystery
Perhaps they're manually crediting and going by account age or whatever. I got nothing either, but of course this account is very young. Would be nice if they said it if they were indeed working on something

Looks like every competition and rosette our EC has hosted was credited.
I went to my EC comp page and tallied up the total rosettes and comp hosted, and they match my trophy progress. Or I guess they do since I don't know what the last threshold was. But I'm close to the next trophy for each.
Would be nice to get an update message for that, instead of having to guess

Hmm, got lots of EC comp and rosette boosts today, funny considering my EC comps aren't run consistently and I've been losing the rosettes on them lately.

It looks like it is being done manually, I have over 1000 rosettes won in my EC and it hasn't updated from "win 250 rosettes" yet

I as well had a few random trophies added today. Honestly I'm completely confused. What trophies I have and the ones I don't have, consdering what I know I've done on this game, literally makes no sense.
It would be nice if Howrse would actually address this mess, let us know what they are doing, and the plan moving forward. Rather than just leaving us in the dark for weeks and even acting like its this new thing we are all happy about.

Mine reckons I haven't even hosted 100 comps in my EC yet nor made it to 50 rosette comps... funny.... one of my newer comps has run well over 100 rosette offering editions, which alone should qualify for both these trophies *shrugs*
Hopefully this gets fixed soon, though if it is by seniority/joining date I have a while to wait

I know I'd run over 100 comps in my EC before the trophy change. Perhaps it needed to simply catch up somehow?

I don't know if there are any other DND nerds on here, but I'm seeing so many parallels between the whole OGL 1.1 scandal going on right now and this whole Trophy/collections page debacle.

I saw this and sped over to my competitions page tallied them up and I sit at 3637 comps and 72% on the meter which makes sense I think. I'm bad at working percentages out but it seems accurate
I agree that a message would have been nice to let us know what was happening
It also seems that not everyone was accredited their EC comps at the same time which makes it even more confusing, is there a method to which accounts get accredited first or is it just at complete random?

What a mess each day it get's worse and worse. One day I am ranked in the 4-300 the next 700+.
The next day I am 85% complete on the special coats VI - the next it is 40+
or how about 95+ complete on a GA trophy and the next it's below 60%
or close to completing the Musketeer trophy - there is NO way - I only have ONE
This trophy update = bah humbug

Yep, got the update to the trophies, now aiming for 2500 rosettes/competitions with both, the trophies just pushing me in range to get Etrian. I think I will just let the points gather up now and check in every week or two. I like that they provide a challenge, but these leaps are a bit on the ridiculous side.

They won't give us a message because they don't want to set a precedent of listening to the player base. They've never done it before, so why start now!?!
They think they can sneak behind our backs without ever admitting they made a mistake. They're cowering somewhere we can't see them. I am so angry still over this horrible, HORRIBLE downgrade.

I don't play DND but I have been introduced to that world and play some of the video games related to it but I've been seeing what's going on with WOC and their parent company, Hasbro.
Parallel to that, I know that the company that own Howrse, Ubisoft, has also taken a massive hit to their stock prices, game sales and profits overall. Lots of games have been canceled as well as plenty of others that have been further delayed. They are losing a lot of money and not being able to recover from it. I'm starting to wonder if all of that is bleeding into this space as well.
Bad CEOs making decisions across multiple game companies that are making their player bases angry. It'll be interesting to see how this all continues to play out.

I appreciate what they've been doing with the EC competitions and EC rosettes, but:
1) that still doesn't really change the fact that collections are still very messed up in so many ways, and that this aspect of gameplay really should not have been changed in the first place because of the intense negative player feedback from pre-prod...
and 2) if they could please do that with Total Rosettes Won by a single horse and Total Rosettes won by a player overall, that'd be great as well. Because there is no way I'm gonna get 1000+ Rosettes on a single horse ever again after the one time I lucked out in buying the best and cheapest TB skiller foal at the exact right time
And I'm sure there are tons of other players in the exact same boat as me for that particularly difficult trophy.

I hope not, but I wouldn't be surprised. None of the Divines they've given out so far have been any use at all, and certainly not worth the effort it takes to get them.

I've been thinking, I kinda wish they'd allowed us to PICK which Divines we got.
I'm not saying anything nuts like "choose from ANY!" just... give us a choice out of three, or out of a series. Because Tarpan is NOT one I wanted, he doesn't benefit my game in any way, and yet I'm stuck with him. If I'd been given a choice between Tarpan and two others, not high-end ones just on about the same level of usefulness, I'd have been happier.
Same with being able to pick a Falabella of my choice. I don't really like Tiny's design or color, I would have chosen Liten instead. No harm no foul that I can see, giving us the option, and moreover it would have been more of an incentive than it is.
Tianma... I already HAVE him, but if I was given the choice of Chinese Divines, I actually would have been SO excited! Qilin is one of my DREAM Divines. Just... stuff like that. I can't get motivated by these prizes, they feel forced on us and like Howrse didn't even account for the fact that people play the game in a lot of different ways.

I have to agree on the divines being a bit of a downer. It also "punishes" players that have been here longer/collected more divines, because all they get for their efforts are (potentially) duplicate, lesser, not likely to be useful divines.
I was personally happy to get Tiny, even if he was a duplicate for me, beause I can always use more falabellas to help trigger the bonus more often. That said, I'd rather have the old trophies than a spare Tiny.
I didn't need another Tianma, although at least the droppings bonus might trigger more often now that I have two. I would however have done just fine without
A split second before thinking about it properly, I was "okay" with Tarpan because I thought at least he'd count towards completing the prehistoric trophy. Then I remembered the trophy exists no more.
Bonus-wise, he contributes nothing to my game but doesn't detract from it either.
I haven't gotten to Etrian or anything else yet, but I can't say they are divines that excite me. Particularly not after the trophies were nerfed.

My horse rosette trophies have not updated. It is still saying "win 100 rosettes" when my Buce has 600+ and another team horse I bred has 1300+

Still waiting on that official statement, Howrse! Get it together! We seem to have a SINGLE mod that is trying to handle this situation and she can't even do anything to help but try and listen to our concerns. How could this go on so long? Its been over 10 days. Plenty of time to stop being lazy and type up a few measly sentences saying you hear us. This way of ignoring all players is EXTREMELY immature and sad. Still angry over my missing trophies! Giving us a prehistoric horse after deleting the prehistoric trophy is either the laziest thing i've seen in this game or the most rude. I cannot believe we are being treated this way.

Could somebody please let me know if there is a prize list? My EC comp trophy is full now and I got tiny.
Just wish there was a way to fix more than 20 boxes still. A bunch of mine are at 100% and I just don't have the time waste as much time is needed for regular upkeep.

Yes! I had this same thought about the divine. It was the last one I needed but then served no point to me as there was no longer a trophy
