[UPDATED] Devs' Corner: September 2024

Our developers have something to tell you! Every three (3) weeks, our devs will provide you with information about their work in the “Dev’s Corner.”

This publication is a way of keeping everyone updated on what’s happening with the game. We invite you to discuss and leave your feedback for each of the publications.

Note: All posts must adhere to the forum guidelines and be constructively made.

Take a look at our very first Devs' Corner publication!

Warm wishes,

The Howrse Team

I mean, do the smaller servers all even HAVE 5000 rosettes available to win within 1 discipline?

Divines can only enter 1 normal competition a day, so it's going to take something like 14 years to get to 5000. While the divine route is the safe route, it still requires a lot of patience and time to achieve it.

It jumps insaely as well,

Gold Trophy = 2500 rosettes with 1 horse

Diamond = 5000 rosettes with 1 horse!

There might even be levels after that but I'm never going to be able to find out default smiley xd It was hard enough getting to 2500!

They don't.
I don't think WE have that many in some disciplines.

I think it is safe to say that particular trophy might need readjusting.

My Gullfaxi is probabaly my best bet, however... since they made his progress up until a month aga null and void, that is already 683 rosettes removed from the count. default smiley :$

^ Apologies for the double post; that is rather something like "only" 653 rosettes removed. default smiley :p

Here to complain some more as I keep finding problems with this horrible, lazy, not thought out update. I won a trophy and got a notif of it. I clicked the notif and it took me to the main trophy page where I literally could not find what trophy I had won. The "Latest Trophies" section is the same as it's been for days. No new trophy. Not that it really matters as they are all hideous blobs to look at now, but it just shows how the devs put zero effort into this update. It wasn't broken, so they broke it even more. Please fix this and maybe test features before you roll them out over a gigantic website, mm?

Did they remove the coat collections for breeds from the trophies? Cause I can't find it anywhere? If they removed it I might as well sell all the horses I was keeping for those trophies default smiley :(

It is now a collection as opposed to a trophy

Can someone explain to me how the trophies work? Like, I have 83 bronze trophies but there are only 24 categories?

Know one ever had to explain to me the previous trophy system.....default smiley (d)

My guess is some trophies stay at bronze until you've earned enough to start earning gold but who knows? I sure don't! Nothing about the new trophy system is clear!

There are different level of bronze, but every category has different amounts.
For example I am on Bronze Rosette 5 but Great Challenge 1.

Unfortunately there is no overview how many level exists for each category.....

Why havent they changed us back to the old way?

Such a shame

Or atleast a better explanation, in the good old days when this game hadnt gone to bits we'd have had long EC forum explanations and discussions to make up for this games nonsense

A reminder to take some of my karma away, still need my 13th reason.

Just now realized my game would have come up on another anniversary, 12 years it seems HOWEVER this game took away my nice yearly trophy so now there is no big bold way to show just how long I have been putting up with your nonsense, Howrse.

Since the coats is a collection now, is there any incentive to get it? When it was a trophy it could help your ranking. Is there anything to earn for it besides just saying you have it?

Not right now, apart from the satisfaction of having a tick next to every image on the collections page. :-/

Continue sending suggestions to Contact Us, hopefully, we will get some action if enough of us continue to submit tickets.

The Collections are supposed to count for our ranking score as well, but no word on how so, or how much

None, it seems. It's just a bonus thing you can do.

They said it would be added in to the ranking, but since they haven't confirmed it or shown it to be true I'm frankly kind of doubtful they were honest.

It's stated in the Change Log
"The collections have been included in the formula used to calculate the global ranking"

A question - how do the smaller servers even function? I mean they have no forums?
Is all communication via Discord or contact us?

I'm trying to imagine what it must be like to play this game with no forums at all.
I could not imagine myself spending loads of $ on a browsergame that does not have any forums.
I am on discord, and have checked the howrse discord channel. The info you need might be there, but like with all chat channels the convos tend to be all over the place.

Only horse mobile game I have ever played, was solely done because I was very sick with slipped discs. The second I got surgery and went to rehab, I ditched the game

I'm still pretty sure they just want us all to quit and get off their game so they can have their precious expenditures from newbies on mobile.

In any case, I got Tiny so now I have no motivation since he was the only Divine of the lot that was ANY use to me at all. I have a Tianma and his perk doesn't stack so he's worthless to me, and I'm never gonna get far enough to get Etrian, not that I wanted him either.

So now I'm just flat-out BORED. They really sucked all the fun out of the game with this one. If this change was supposed to motivate players to play it failed spectacularly, cause I have nothing to do now. default smiley (zzz)
