[Info] The Retired Coat Gallery

This thread is here to show off your Retired Coats. This is not the place to post non retired coats. **The two exceptions would be coats that have been pulled (brief discussions) and the pre release coats.

REMEMBER:

******** absolutely no sales talk, no talk about spares or how many extras of a copy you got and selling them to fund your RC habit this is just a place to talk RCs

* although links and graphics are ok on this thread, they are not allowed normally on public forums

* any negative or unkind comments on artists or coats (or anyone!) will be removed, and depending on the case, it might mean an instant forum ban.

* DO NOT use this as a place to sell your horse/coats-if you feel the need to break this rule, it will mean an instant forum ban...

** Sales ads are NOT allowed in any public forums. Asking for spare coats will now be considered a sales ad. This includes stating that you plan to sell a coat, or point out coats for sale in sales.

* Do not use this place as a spot for rants or complaints-About coats/BG/or each other.

* This is not the place to ask players to price your coats, or to ask others the worth of a coat, you can check uses on your own by hovering your mouse over the gray apple and price it from there.

* This is not the place to bring up the subject of stolen images. Keep in mind that the rules of the BP used to be very different, and many old coats are from that time.
There is not any reason to bring that up, or report the coats.

*Please do not do a coat countdown for soon to retire coats.

* Please do not post coats that are currently in the GA and have either not retired, or will never retire.

* Please do not post coat/bg combos or ask opinions on them, except following coat release.

* Some coats may be removed in the future, whether that be for problems with the coats itself or just because they're clearing room on the server to allow other coats to be uploaded - if you're buying retired coats, please keep that in mind. If you want a permanent copy, I would recommend saving the graphic to your computer

* How to discover who many uses a New GC coat will retire-There is now a coat countdown in the GA, and it will show how many have been used and how many uses there are left.

** There is now a new creations directory which shows all coats. Go to Community>>>Directories>>>Creations>>>Click more criteria, and on the left hand side is a gold and silver apple. Click the silver apple and search to see all retired coats.

* To see who created/how many uses/name/or if you have it already of a RC coat, simply click on the silver apple, and it will tell you.

*** Posting links to other player's coats is NOT allowed and can mean a forum ban.

*#*#*#* If players feel the need break the main topic rules, such as sales ads/coat countdowns/spares-you can expect an instant forum ban without any warning prior to it *#*#*#*

They also are in the same cantering position. I don't get coats that look like too much like spirit either especially if they are not semi realistic and if I do I want to be one applying the golden apple or get it for about 100passes

Yup, they started that a few years ago, and it was such a poor decision. I would rather have my voting time cut in half if it meant that they actually copyright checked coats before voting. There's been so many coats I absolutely loved and had, but got pulled because of copyright. Like come on .-.

Very sad the 400 use one was pulled, it was one of my favorites...

*This*
Especially since the compensation of a GA feels pretty moot when the pulled coat was a retired coat. The two are not comparable in the slightest, and my heart goes out to anyone who had spent 100+ passes on a RC coat in the sales, only to have that coat be pulled. I'm still scared when a low use coat shows up in the auctions after that three use coat got pulled to be honest.

I had debated getting it, I'm SO glad I didn't now. That blows for you guys.

Wait, what? When did that happen? default smiley (o) I know a lot of the old RCs are blatantly edited photos and the like, but I didn't think they would pull them.

This was a few months ago, now? I forgot to bid on the coat, and I was so annoyed with myself, I was maybe 10 seconds late to the auction, and then it was pulled. I couldn't believe it. I was angry /for/ the player who got the coat lol. Last I knew they were in the process of working something out with Howrse, since they really got the short stick on that.



On top of this, I have no reason to collect the unlimited GAs, since they can't be retired. I mean, what's the point? They'll always be there, unlike the pre-CS coats which can be retired after 100 uses. Maybe that'll change in the future, but I can't be bothered with them.

I don't think we should be blaming Howrse for this. As an artist myself I feel copyright is important. If a coat is infringing copyright it's infringing copyright, whether its a year or 10 years old. And if it's an obscure book illustration or something then it might not be found out immediately.

Really the one who should be blamed is the person who submitted the coat. And they are the one who should have to pay back those who've lost passes on it. Give those people the pick of their horses or something. Of course, that wouldn't be possible if they are no longer on Howrse.

PS: take a look at the Black Pearl thread: someone's posted another coat they believe is based on a photo (it looks like the same horse!)

I had that coat just pulled too. I haven't really lost anything and I can laugh about it myself. It's on a horse I put a H Pack on then missed the limited coat I meant to get for him. Waited months for another for him, and now it's been pulled... the horse is called Fool's Wish default smiley xd

Thanks for posting, default smiley (l) the arab!

More than usual, as said, might be a scrum to get them all.

Ok, so I haven't done the early VIP release in over half a year. If it says tomorrow at 0400 hours, that means I get the coats today at 1600 hours, right?

Yes that's right, it is 12 hours prior to the regular release. So if the regular release is 4am tomorrow, then the early release is 4pm tonight for you.

I want the grey Arabian and winged unicorn. The unicorns are nice too. At least I think the coat that was half copyrighted isn't there. It would probably be a pony coat.

I actually wish we weren't getting a new RC winged draft... I was hoping the market for them would go back up so I could sell the ones from last release.
I love the brown unicorn though.

Annoying. We seem to have a French pony and no French pony breeds. I thought of Camargue but that's not a pony on Howrse. Ah well, it looks Welsh...

Kind of underwhelmed with this release... However, I will be getting the winged unicorn, as it's my favorite out of the lot. Hopefully there are some nice new GAs too I can give my unis.

Got all 8. A bit underwhelming, but not too bad.

Whew, just barely managed to get all 8. I really love all but 2 of them, and the other 2 I got simply because of the 100 copy part.

First release I've been able to make in a while! My phone gave me the 1 hour warning on the hour... but then I realized I was in the wrong time zone! Was able snag all 8 as the last or 2nd to last copy on a few default smiley (8) Sad there isn't another donkey

Got all 8 as well! May get some more copies of my faves tomorrow! Agree it was a bit overwhelming. There were a couple I hadn't lined up horses for, but I managed to find horses for them after I'd got the others! Last one was at 48 out of 50 so just did it!

Had to work today. I'll be scrabbling with everyone else at 2AM. Normally, I'd just skip it and buy them in sales the next day, but WOW, this lot is so beautiful, I wanna put them on all my best horses.
