[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 *#*#*#*
 
Go to page:
When we say "quickly" we mean "blink and you will miss them". VIP released used to be a lot quieter, but now it's arguably even more fierce than the normal release.

The 100 copy coats always go within seconds. You have to be fast. They are there- just have to have quick internet and hands default smiley (lol)

That was the only coat I truly wanted, and the only coat I didn't get. default smiley (m)

The other half will be available at the normal release. Keep in mind there is a 5 minute delay and high demand 100 copies go within seconds, you will need to be there on the dot if you want it.

VIP perk only releases half the number of copies available, so it'll be available during the next release default smiley :) riding horse coats go very fast, drafts and donkeys seem to go the slowest.

Well I got some of the other 200 use coats so I’m happy with that, will not be stressing for the other ones. (If I have the chance to get them later, it would be great)

And I read a comment from Flicka fire that the specific coat I was asking about , was already released but I didn’t even get the chance to see it. I already had my page open and was refreshing every second. (Maybe my internet is not the fastest and I’m on my tablet) default smiley :s

The coat was one of those blink and you miss it ones, so it's very possible that, in the time you got to seeing the new ones, it was already gone. It is recommended that you have "limited edition" selected and are ready to switch it over to chronology, don't refresh as that takes precious seconds.

Could have been the larger number of coats this time, but a fair number were so slow to reach the 50 mark that I had time to double-check the directories, and age up 2 horses to grab additional coats.

I have to replenish my supply of draft unis after this. There were a lot!

I’m surprised there’s no riding Pegasus or riding Pegasus unicorns rc this time around default smiley (o) good for me though bc there’s soooooo many pony and riding horses to aim for! Going to be tough to get all the coats I want

I've been thinking about how nice it would be if Howrse allowed the coat creator to reserve a copy of their limited coat to ensure they get it. Yes, it would be one less copy for the public, but it would be nice if the option was there, even if reserving the copy meant something like 100 passes was taken from the payout.

That is why I rarely submit my coats as limited, it’s always nice to be sure that you get your copy whenever you like.

yay, thanks to the rain and the real ponies resembling hippos i managed to be here for once and grab the 3 missing coats from last night. Could have probably got those 200's i bought but hindsight and all that. First release in ages i've actually managed to get everything straight away (and without costing a fortune!) so i'm happy!

Manged to get the two I wanted - the riding horse and the pink winged draft unicorn. Had a browse afterwards to see some of the new GA coats and the draft with the birds was surprisingly still available so grabbed that one too default smiley (7)

Phew - managed to pick up a copy of a few of the unicorn coats I missed last night!

Only recently started 'collecting' but I do enjoy these releases! Massive kudos to the talented coat designers.

Some fabulous rays too default smiley (l)

Didn't notice yesterday how lovely this coat actually is, it was one of the ones i missed and wasn't that bothered about, but now i've used it and actually looked at it - wow!



The unlimited ghost pony (under a sheet) and the unlimited horse uni spooking at the pumpkin are by far my favourites though.

Very slow release on 100 coats... The Neon Paint went fast, but the rest were much slower than usual. The 200 Hennessy retired before at least 60% of the 100 copy coats! default smiley :-x

Some of the 100 use draft unicorns and draft winged unicorns are still available now - I don't think I've ever seen them sit for this long

I was able to go around and age up some draft unis to coat, it was that slow, but now I have run out, so I think I know what is getting the Isis covering for November. default smiley (lol)

Glad I had a smooth run this morning and picked up the coats I missed. The coats went fairly slow this time which was great (: happy I got the 100 copy riding horse and riding unicorn (so pretty)!

Really surprised, truthfully, at how slowly coats other than the Hennessy and the Neon Paint coat went. I splurged a bit to get more coats than I usually do because I'm obsessed with Halloween coats and there were some real treasures in this release. One that I'm very pleased to add to my collection is this one:



Hope everyone else was able to get what they wanted without too much trouble!

Just woke up and checked my alarms and realized I set it for 6PM instead of 6AM.. not the first time I’ve done this either. Big oops.

Really wanted that ghost donkey and the drafts I missed, might have to look in sales but ugh. I’m so mad at myself! default smiley :$
