[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 *#*#*#*

Can't comprehend how the penguin coat went so fast!! Was refreshing constantly and it didn't even pop up for me. Didn't catch the sparkly unicorn either, but glad to have gotten Berry (the dragon one), the gray Noctuarys coat, and the black pegasus "Wait for me"!! Obsessed with them default smiley (l)default smiley (l)

That was brutal! I went for all the horse coats and missed 3 unis and one horse. Found two in sales, so missing two with no passes left.default smiley :'( Ah well, gives me something to work for.

Nearly 20% of the copies of one hyped up coat, just sat in the sales at crazy prizes, and that doesn't of course include any copies that already changed hands default smiley :-x and I haven't looked at the coats I already have so doubt it's alone.
No wonder so many collectors are starting to sell up.

100% agree. I don't mind paying slightly above the price of what it would cost to apply a GA coat as I understand this is how some players fund their game without buying passes, but some of the inflated prices I've seen in the sales of the coat you mention are ridiculous. Such a shame it's turned into a profit maker for some which leaves people that collect for personal enjoyment so out of pocket to get the coats they wish to add to their collections.

I literally had Friday off and still managed to forget about VIP release, so I begrudgingly set an alarm for 4am, but I still managed to miss 3 coats. Not sure what happened. Maybe I was just slow, but those coats went insanely fast this month. I don't even remember what the 3 I missed were, so hopefully I didn't love them too much.default smiley xd

I also used to buy quite a few coats in the sales and was happy to give the seller a reasonable profit but I rarely buy now at the prices some ask. I collect purely for pleasure but have to pass up some coats I really covet because of the price. Yes, I could shell out a high number of passes but I prefer to save them for divines that help me now. Luckily, I'm not a fan of all the hybrid and clothed horses that get released now and prefer horse that are good art and depict a normal horse - ok, unicorns and pegasus aren't real but I allow those! I generally miss out on the new coats because I don't want to wake or stay up that late - I did manage to get a couple today at normal release so this time round was better than usual for me.

When it hit the hour hand for me, I was right there, but for some reason the server always lags when releasing the coats so they actually came 5 minutes later. default smiley (o) I went back to studying because I couldn't be distracted for too long, but when I looked back it was 14 minutes after the time and I missed both the coats I wanted. default smiley :( Well, at least I got two of the Forsythia unicorn pony coat, because that was still open for even an hour afterwards. default smiley ^) I usually like to place the coat on a horse (the horses in question were my 53/54 breeds challenge horse and Ban'ei unicorn from the draft uni progress...) rather than buying it so I probably won't get those now unless I need the horse itself. default smiley (8)

It makes sense to sell RCs for profit the same way teams do with their skiller preps, but 1000 passes is definitely inflated when players are selling it for much cheaper (reminds me of the Item Exchanges where players try to sell Lyres for 300k equus even though you can get them for 10k each)! default smiley xd It probably makes sense for some of the extremely rare pre-CS coats, but there are still plenty of 100c coats, especially recent ones, to go around. If 100 passes were used for the GA, then it's probably the best to set it at 200 or so to get a net 90 passes. default smiley ^)

I don't might spending inflated prices for some of them if i was buying passes right now. Hopefully not recently released. Sad i didn’t do better on lancelots quest. Im 2 or 3 days off.default smiley :( I would got the unicorn pony forshytia or pony with the moon last night. I got lilys because was more worried about that one not being cheap in sales.

Yeah I was up and ready to get my coats as well this morning but it was annoying when the server didn't have them on until 10ish minutes after. I missed all the unicorn coats I wanted. And had to buy the 1 I wanted but I dont what else was out there.

Normal release has always had the lag and coats actually show up at 4 to 5 minutes past.

Early release is always bang on, although on one occasion in the last year the coats showed at one minute to on my screen.

I was at work for early release and only got one coat but it is one I love a lot - the pony coat Light of the Night - I have an obsession/ true love with the moon. So I think it’s very beautiful.
I overslept for the regular release… ugh I’m so annoyed with myself but life goes on lol
I bought myself one coat in the sales but I’m going to try to wait to do anymore shopping and hope some of those prices go down a little bit.
I was so shocked to see that most all of the new coats were only 100 copy coats.

Both releases were on time, normal one was delayed 5 minutes exactly as usual. I missed 4 coats on VIP release, including the Viserys frosty, and I was able to get them ALL on regular despite the fact that I had access only on my phone at that time, and through my mobile operator data net (which is pretty slow compared to my normal ISP speed). So I am guessing the problem was not with server, but maybe with too much traffic and your internet.

Thanks for sharing - that's a very unappealing [to me] bunch bar a couple.

I saw some lovely ones in voting too (yes I actually remembered as I need those trophies!) I'm convinced the voting system is flawed when you see some of the beautiful coats that are submitted but never get through.


I've suspected this for a long time too. There's no way that some beautiful and realistic coats won't get through (okay, we all have preferences). But it still makes me mad. What is the point of voting, when our votes don't matter at the end of the day?? default smiley (d)

Welcome to the madness. If you want to keep your good, healthy sleep, I suggest you stop looking into the Creations directory. It's all on you. Don't say nobody warned you.

Its fun though especially if using passes. I look for ones that make me happy mainly than i can do advanced search on their stables if i want to look at them. I have them sorted by type of horse etc. i wish there was less 100 use. I try to go after favorite 100 use first but my phone might freeze again. Thankfully that only happen once.default smiley xd

Ah man...i double checked all the retired coats under those creators different names, since i like having the complete collections. Having the same artists under different names could complicate that. It turns out that, out of all of those coats, i am only missing two very old (before i was on the game) coats from the Starynight account. All the others i still have complete sets...so close!default smiley :'( default smiley :p

but seeing some of the collections here is inspiring!

I do want to ask, is there anywhere or anyone I can ask a question or two about this thread? Since the OP is a Retired Breeder?
