What on earth is this objective??

Horse Yggdrasil II
Breed a Yggdrasil horse aged at least 25 years


I got one born way back in 2019, that I haven’t touched since. So he’s still a few hours old…. but the II objective… does the game want me to send 1000000+ horses that are 25+ years old to heaven?
Probably right?


how do you breed a yggy horse? How do you work it? mine literally doesn't do anything except age.

. "Breed" for this objective means you have to obtain him., and if you do, then get him to the age stated. You bred him because you're listed as the producer

It's not clear to me what the bug was that they fixed. Does anyone know? Like how was the Ban'ei GP being affected?

No trophy update still? Not even a "we're looking into this?" default smiley (d)

Apparently a minor error in Bane'i breeding was more important than the gameplay for thousands of players, good to know.

I'm still playing, but a lot of the enjoyment has gone out of the game for me... as an adult, I can see how manipulative these changes are - its similar to the gambling tactics 'gatcha' games use where you eventually can't play properly if you dont spent money! default smiley :'(


Oh yes haha. I am honestly just waiting for EU countries to have an opinion since they really don't like gambling without proper advertisement default smiley xd

Objective No. 1
Put a Black Market item from the Bonus category on a horse

so.... thank you very much default smiley :(.... now bonus items that validate that objective, are only Bonus packs and other pricy stuff. Bell boots, whips etc used to work as well.

Bell boots whips etc are not BM items, they are tack. You could use things like parchments, lyres hypnos blankets which are fairly easy to come by.

Ooh, sorry - bonus. I would use a croesus fortune for a horse I want to compete as it is not expensive but now comes with very good bonus items

It's very odd I have croesus in stock and it didn't validate. Maybe I got unlucky and the game was updating or something?

That is odd. I'm sure I have used that before with no problem.

I used a Fortune yesterday to validate that objective. It's all I ever use on that one

Weird - If/when I get the objective again, and if there's still an issue I'll write to contact us. Thanks guys

eh.. I'm so annoyed with howrse right now I've retyped this message three times. default smiley :@ Why even bother announcing updates like this Ban ei thing that no one even knew was wrong? Just get to work fixing the trophy page please.default smiley :@

this is my plea to do something about the ECs. 6 meadows is not enough to produce the amount of resources needed for the size of my EC. 80000+ fodder is used weekly nevermind everything else

And again, we need to be able to fix more than 20 boxes at one time

Same. I'm still feeling very disappointed that there has been no reaction to the absolute outpouring of feedback from players about the trophies, so spending real money might be over for me default smiley (n)

oh there's been a reaction from them I can almost guarantee you. except the reaction was probably something akin to "oh they're upset? who cares lol good riddance."

considering they've repeatedly pushed update after update doubling down on making repeated anti-user changes to aspects of the site proper actually stayed for. because older users don't spend enough or something? (which is. the most BACKWARDS thinking so I'm still trying to figure out the motive for these things. though honestly I don't even think *they* know the motive for these changes half the time...)

I'm still not over the fact they removed the very feature I had primarily paid for or towards every time I spent money on the game. I no longer even have the trophies I spent money towards to show for it.

I would not have spent half the amount had these medals and bars been implemented back when I joined (and rejoined).

This is quite possibly the most backwards game development I have witnessed. default smiley :$

Their motive is to get more money out of us and I'm sure they spend a couple of minutes each day kicking around ideas for just that. However, you're right, their "thinking" is absolutely BACKWARDS.
