[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 *#*#*#*

Considering how long since I have been an active collector on this server, I am surprised to be sitting at 24%...
on the aussie server, however, I am at 100% default smiley xd

It was easier to brag about it with the old Trophies, where you just needed to own X and you'd be good.
The RC collection is impossible to complete, no matter what we do.

Also... collecting from a single creator or two at most really doesn't help filling up that percentage. default smiley (m)

That is, focusing on your favourite author and that alone (for example, all the Viserys) means you're letting go of many others, mostly because of BUDGET. Buying everything I want from the sales would mean being broke default smiley xddefault smiley xd

Do I still want ALL The Viserys? Yeah... default smiley xd

I'm at 28%.

I really dislike the RC Collection compared to the old Trophy for it. Even if I had unlimited passes, and the ability to get every 1 copy coat, there are some coats I simply do not want. I only collect what I like, so that means forgoing others.

I did pretty well at keeping a 100% Draft Pegasus collection when those first came to the game, but then one coat came along that didn't suit my tastes and I skipped it. We didn't have the Collections then of course, but if we did, that's when that Collection would have dropped for me.

^this! I'm of the exact same mentality, I don't see the point of collecting coats I don't think are pretty, I suppose it makes releases easier if I'm only going for coats I like. I'm at 20% at the moment but the list of coats I'd like to buy (mostly old PCS) seems to get longer by the day..default smiley xd

Same for me as far as pretty much only collecting the coats I like...
I am so proud of my beautiful collection even if I am only at 3% default smiley (lol)
I have over 200 RC's and I'm always shopping for more... I need a money tree or a Howrse passes tree default smiley (lol) I also just enjoy browsing the coats available in the sales and I enjoy browsing through other players collections. We really have a lot of beautiful art on this game. default smiley (7)

I'm at 5% currently with 367. Most of them are from the last 2 1/2 year's releases though. For the most part I'm only collecting the ones I like, but if there's just one or two in a set I don't like, I still want to finish the set. That feeling of being not quite complete is annoying.default smiley (lol)

For sure...having an impossible goal takes a lot of wind out of the sails! Who wants a meter that you can never fill?default smiley (o)

I'm not even sure that unlimited passes and having every 1 copy coat would do it...what about those RCs that all copies have been lost? Do they count in the meter too? i don't even know! And that's still before you consider those you don't like!default smiley :o

Agreed...i feel that too! It is super satisfying to have a complete set!default smiley *-)

I'd say not, based on how both the creation directories and Collections work.
The lowest copy coats in the directories are 1, and the Collections brought their data from that. The game probably doesn't have data from coats that expired years ago.

If one wanted to be 100% sure you could go in to the collections and cross reference some of the coats in there with the directories to make sure they still exist.

As to what happens now if any of these coats go poof, I don't know. I'd think it'd disappear from the Collections, but that's just a guess

96% - pretty sure it doesn't include 'lost' coats as they don't show in the directories

28 - you can search for this sort of information in the directories under creations

They have become extremely collectable. This is good news if you have a bunch. If you want them, then it's bad news. They go for more then what you can get in direct sales, which is why you don't see any. Sometimes you will find them in auction and they go for anywhere from 4,000 passes to 20,000 passes depending on the rarity of the breed and the look.

Two new PreCS coats for me. They weren't on my list, but they're rarer coats, with Blondie becoming my personal rarest at 29 copies

I'm at 12%, with 810 retired coats. My absolute least favourite change Howrse has made is the retired coat collection goal. It is literally impossible to obtain 100% completion. default smiley (n)

If you're looking for similar active Golden Apple coats, this would be best asked in the Howrse Spotters topic, as this gallery is for retired coatsdefault smiley :)

A few new retired pre cs coats(!) these are the ones I have (all the same creator) - there maybe one or two more that I do not currently own yet.

This one as well. Looks like totalrandomness just retired their last four remaining active coats. All the others were retired years ago I think.
