[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

Did the font size or type change for the competition result place rankings? The new one is really, really uncomfortable to look at for some reason.

That's what I meant, yes! default smiley :p

Neither of my Grail horses shows the quest, now, including the one who is supposed to have the ongoing quest.

I only have one Grail horse. It says that I have another ongoing quest. Clearly, their update didn't work. Now the Grail horses are useless until they fix it.

I sent a ticket to Contact Us and they've forwarded it to the Tech team, because I can't access that, too.

I'd like to note that I did clear caches and cookies, and that changed the appearance of the box, but it still says the same thing default smiley xd

Of course, a glitch occurs literally on the last couple of days of my current quest, I hope I get that timer and it isn't just lost once they fix this, otherwise it would be 20+ days for nothing if that happens.

Typical fix something that's not broke but yet broke it anyway. I don't understand the need for this change...it worked just fine before.

I've notice that's a pattern with these updates. They change things that don't need changing and then ignore player complaints about the new changes they didn't want in the first place. Take the helios ray update; you can't preview anymore and everyone hates it, but they still haven't changed it and people have been complaining for months.

non of my grail horses work either, I have ongoing quest on Percival, so CT, but he gives me the "You already have an ongoing quest on another Grail horse." message and when I click on it, it sends me to My horses page.

I know right, they keep doing the most unneeded changes to stuff that works fine. It's bugging me so much. Also what happened with the helios ray and golden apple drives me insane. The only updates they've been making lately are the ones that aren't needed and just make the game more glitchy. I miss the old Howrse
I'm glad that my Percival entered his comps and got his win before this update went through.

He only has 3 days left on his quest so I hope this glitch is fixed very quickly default smiley :s

My percival had an ongoing quest that I completed yesterday afternoon and intended to pick up the Chronos Timer this morning at first login. My Timer is no where to be found and my percival now says that I have an ongoing quest with another grail horse. Hes the only grail horse I own.

If you guys haven't already, take a screenshot of the last time you earned your Grail's prize in the event the team requires them to restore the correct points and give the prize if it was due.

Also, removing horns/wings/BMI is not "mutilating" a *pixel* horse on this *game.* And implying that, which is basically trying to make anybody who completes these objectives feel guilty/bad about themselves, especially younger/more impressionable players, is honestly pretty messed up. default smiley (o)

Removing a unicorn's horn literally changes its species. How is that not mutilation? That said, I know that some players have reasons they might WANT to remove a Pegasus' wings, and so I think the option should be available at all times, but never required. I don't think much of the "Remove a Water of Youth" objective either. Anything that requires you to undo something that cost passes to create in the first place is just not very reasonable. I don't think anyone should feel guilty over it, and more than I should be made to feel guilty for objecting to that as any kind of requirement. It creates an unfair advantage to longer standing players who can afford that kind of thing, though. I depend on the objectives for passes because I can't afford to buy them. So, I don't think it's unreasonable to object to objectives that basically COST passes to complete.

It seems like there are people unable to apply their horses to get a Rosette. Is this an update or a glitch?

Its probably just that their horses do not qualify

The font change for the rankings looks... terrible. Doesn't fit with anything else on the profile page and just looks really out of place. And now our Grail divines are broken. default smiley ^) As always, great job fixing stuff that didn't need fixing!

Oh dear, they broke the grail horses default smiley :s

Both of them are tied together, fused as one – they have been since they arrived on the game, but I guess the developers didn't know. You select the quest you want and then both of them are going for the same quest. Obviously you only get one prize in the quest. But the grail horses become fused as one.

So the new 'feature' sets up a sort of feedback loop that has cancelled the quests default smiley :o I was only a few more days away from my chronos timer. Doh default smiley :$

I've sent in a ticket to Contact, wtih screenshots.
