We have about 16 known, right?


Last known divine is Gullfaxi, number 14. At least I haven't heard about anyone having discovered number 15 yet.

I'm talking about the progress tab that updates whenever you gain points. For some reason, it also records points for trophies that are finished. It's under history.


I've noticed this too and thought I was just misunderstanding something lol. I just checked again and apparently the 100k comp trophy is in progress for me.... I finished that trophy a LONG time ago.default smiley xd

I can actually look at the trophy page for longer than a few milliseconds now, so it's no longer outright visual pollution. That said, your new trophies are hideous, dull, and boring, and can definitely be beautified... a lot. But at least they're trophies, not medals.

If I can't display my achievements on my page then I'm not interested in working towards them. I don't want your trophies on my page because they're ugly and meaningless. I'll continue waiting for the update that will add the collections back to my page with their beautiful icons. That's what I've spent years working towards and those are the achievements that I want on my page. Your ugly replacements do not suffice despite being a slight upgrade since your major trophy downgrade. They're still a downgrade when compared to the beautiful page that we had before you tampered with it.

That said, I think I actually looked at the trophy page for the first time in 1 or 2 years. One thing that I miss is seeing how many trophies there are (like I'm on trophy 5/7), then when you hovered over the icon, you could see your exact progress towards the next trophy (maybe 123/150 points towards trophy 6). If I recall correctly, the remade trophy page doesn't show you how many trophies there are and I'm not fond of having to guess how long I have before I finish a trophy. So there's still room for improvement outside of the visuals too.

I *might* start bothering with your trophies seeing as how I can look at the page now. But please remove those hideous icons from my profile page or add an option to do so without buying pegasus or VIP. They're meaningless and ugly and all they do is remind me that my real achievements have been "stripped" from me when you implemented your major trophy downgrade. And that's not something that I want to remember.

Hear hear! I think that they think that we've gotten over it since we aren't flooding the thread any more, but I'd like to join you in saying that we haven't.

Not sure if this is due to the plant kingdom update, but I like that my plant horses have a watering can now. Hope it lasts. Much nicer for them than the fountain/regular icon. default smiley :)

Yay! Finally a divine trophy I can work toward. I haven't had the last 6 or so of the divines that we can earn trophies for. I am happy about this trophy.default smiley (7)

Such a relief to have the ray previews brought back! But I'm very picky about backgrounds, especially where and how my horses are standing - the preview as it is now has the horse placed too far down on the page to get a good sense of the combo. Would be great to get that fixed :/

Legacy Ann, I never had a watering can for my plant divines. The only time it has ever shown up was when we lost the fountain for the weekend. Normally it is the same fountain icon as all the other horses have. default smiley :o

Since the fountain overrides the regular trough, it probably does the Plant's watering can too. I've only gotten the fountain twice, so I'm used to staring at the can every daydefault smiley (lol)

If you do have fountain access, and the Plants are still showing the Can instead, you can ask Contact if that's supposed to be there now

I agree but I still hate the newest update as much as the old one! And yes I really don't work on the trophies any more even though that is what I mainly did before. default smiley (li)

I finished twenty five objectives, but when I tried to open a centre it came up with a screen which told me I had to complete the tutorial first. It got stuck on this page and I had to uninstall and reinstall. Now I can't even get into my objectives without the "page unavailable you must complete the tutorial first" page popping up.

If you're on the app it won't work, you have to go to classic version. Also this is a wrong forum to post this

As an aside about the trophy page, I find it weird that we can filter by active and received, and by level of trophy, but not KIND of trophy, which makes the entire page worthless IMHO. My page is constantly clogged with “event” trophies that I cannot actively work on, because I simply have to wait most of a year for that kind of event to show up again. There ARE the tabs to the side, but that doesn’t really help, as I just want everything BUT the event trophies to show so I can see what’s the next trophies I am closest to achieving, the only reason I go to this page. I couldn’t care less about whether the trophies are gold silver or bronze. Nor do I want to flip endlessly through the tabs on the side. Just let me filter out the event trophies, since I can’t work on any particular one for 11 months out of the year.

Hello:

Changing the subject for a moment. When the U.F.O. Passes came around in the past,
they came around several times a day. When I logged on the U.F.O. passes were flying
around something else popped up blocking the u.f.o passes. I tried to click onto it and
both disappeared. For once I need the u.f.o. passes, but they have not flown around
again and it has been long enough for them to have flown around again.

Do they only fly around once a day now? I need the U.F.O. Passes to fly around again.
It would be nice if they could fly around again, but I am curious about how often they
fly around now.

Thank you.

default smiley (y)

I've seen that UFO popup at least 4 times within the last 8 hours, so I think it's just random. I never clicked on it so it kept coming back.
