I submitted a ticket but if I have VIP should I be able to chose the second horses gender still. Picked female on second horse this morning and found out after blupping it was definitely a male
You should be able to still, yes, as it's a VIP perk of using the Pack.
Which set of twins was it? I looked through your production and see you have a colt and filly each of what look to be twins.

I don't understand where youre getting all these chanelges from? Removing an objective, everyone talking about desktop version potentially being shut down? Im seeing only 2 changes, the pet and the VIP one.
Which still isn't good since the two changes aren't relevant (not everyone is a VIP member).
Why not fix the mobile equestrian center pages? Can't fix multiple buildings at once, I can't change multiple meadows usage at once, can't accsess My equestrian center's management page anywhere on mobile.

this game was never meant to be an app. it came along way before apps were a thing. it's only an app to stop people from complaining it wasn't an app. considering what the app was like when it first came out be happy with how it is now. they always said that if they were to make the app totally functioning that they would have to recode the entire game. they aren't doing that.

Here's my feedback:
Fixed a bug that, in particular circumstances, allowed VIP players to choose the gender of the second foal without using a Hera's Pack. "Whatever, never happened to me."
The Companion pages now have a new presentation. "Was there something wrong with the companion page?"
---
Still waiting for some meaningful fixes......

I'm not a VIP so the glitch fix didn't affect me and I can't speak on that, but the new companion page update looks... really bad?
Like it just doesn't look good. I'm on desktop, I don't know if it was one of the infamous mobile-intended patches or how it looks there, but the companions now hover weirdly in the corner of their little preview box instead of being stationary and centered. It's not like it's a huge deal or the page is unusable now but it's such a bizarre and pointless thing to add, especially since it looks worse than before.

I can't even figure out if it even exists on mobile, ngl. it's not on the horse's page, inventory, collections page, or really anywhere I can think to look for it.

The companion pages now look like the rest of the updated BM pages, which I never liked. They're bulky, and you have to scroll down to see everything. I hadn't noticed the odd placement of the companion until now. When you say "hover", are yours actually moving? If so, it's one more reason for me to keep animations turned off. Mine are just chilling in the corner
I'd actually say that the page looks (functionally) better on the mobile version, because barring swiping over to see the usuall description of how a companion works, you don't have to scroll to see anything. Their important information (image, name, bonus and payment method) is all visible at a glance

They slightly move which is weird because it makes you think there is something wrong with you vision.

@Legacy Ann - yes, they added an animation. It's not hugely noticeable and took me a second to even see it, but they have a kind of "floating" up and down motion that they didn't before. I don't know why it was added except for aesthetics, but I wish they wouldn't keep putting animations on everything. They're bothersome and not needed. The fact that it's not centered is also bothering me just cause it looks "off."

Another thing they should do is revert the sharing of accounts back to the way it used to be—where you could log in to another player's account with your own password and then certain amenities of theirs (sales, passes, etc.) would be disabled so you couldn't use them.

Ah, I just spotted this and it sucks... As someone who gets floaters in an eye on and off, some things DO move without actually being animated so that's going to drive me crazy. Its so subtle, too, I had to stare at it for a few seconds to make sure it was moving
I really don't see why animating them was necessary. I'd turn off the animations except I do like a lot of the other ones, this one is just going to keep me thinking my eye is causing problems again :')

It's kind of hilarious that they are upset the only reason players want divines is for their rewards
That's exactly what I do now! I dislike all of the newer ones that they release and am only interested in any that they offer through black market items if it can give me passes. If it doesn't give me passes or some other specific benefit, I don't want it. They can throw it back in the pile of other unwanted divines
I have turned into a strict no pass buyer after I bought some during one of their sales and they immediately destroyed our trophies ((Still upset about that by the way) and will never not be
))

Same! I'm still not recovered from the destruction of our trophies. Tried to start playing again this week after a nice long break and still couldn't find any momentum to continue my collections or anything else. Ah well. Guess I'll check back and try again in a couple more months.

The language on the latest Help Center PM made me laugh..
Ever thought of using the help center? Huh? Did ya? Instead of coming to contact us to bug us? Ever thought of it?
Never mind the fact I haven't asked a thing in the 'new' help center, you can't see your answers, and its weird to navigate.

Yeah, I've attempted to use it a few times. Number 1, it's totally frustrating and NO I've NEVER gotten any help from the Help Center. It's absolutely worthless.
What makes me laugh is many players in this thread have mentioned their frustrations with it and there has never been a comment back from any of the "Higher Ups". This is all we hear....

I've never really understood the point of the Help Center. Except for verification, it just seems like a worse/harder to use version of the Game Play forum. The manuals are helpful but for the actual question-answering portion I always just use Game Play, I never find what I'm looking for in Help.

No, these don't SEEM "like minor changes", they ARE "minor changes".
Once again, the issues that the game has addressed are things that I've never noticed a problem with, nor have heard complaints from other players about.
I'm not even sure what this is:
"The design of the rating system has also been changed: the original 1-10 rating has been replaced with stars."
Okay, well, whoop-de-do.
I truly wish the game would take a few months off from diddling around with little stuff and focus on the big issues many players have been discussing and/or sending tickets about for FOREVER.

The nice part of changing the rating system from a 1-10 scale to a 5 star system is that they have "magically improved" their ratings up to 50 percent and my ONE voting for years will now either force me into silence OR force me into giving the game ONE STAR. Not gonna happen...

and WHOOP there it is! mobile browser is still completely broken for me still but they sure can change my rating of them from 1/10 up to a whole 20% approval with this One Neat Trick™!
-_-
just watch. next update they're gonna talk down to us about how we're complaining when """"in reality"""" everyone on site's approval has gone up so much! everyone loves the trophies now they've ignored any suggestions for change for half a year! making even the most useless, crummy looking divine you have to pay 30USD for was such a smart move, guys, don't you see the data?
