Got a lot of great prizes and enjoyed it tremendously. Won the jackpot but not the divine. Keep up the great work.

Diemos it is great for newbies like me who don't have those items to get them. Just because you have hords don't mean others should be deprived. And yes if you are indecisive it may be hard but I'd absolutely hate being stuck with something I didn't want and I didn't get a choice. Can you imagine the only prize being horse poo? And you didn't choose it? Seriously? That would make you happy? To me then it WOULD be boring and I'd probably never play it again. if you don't like you just don't play it if so boring. We all have that choice. Just saying.


Saying they found the event boring and that the prizes were not valuable to them is a perfectly valid response when asking to provide feedback. The problem here is that pretty much every bronze box was nothing to get excited about to the majority of players. At one point, there were a few exciting prizes in the selection, like a 5th element or slightly high valued black market item, now it's just cheap tack, aging points, etc.

Poor repeated prizes. Just a pass grabber if you wanted to progress far.

In a miraculous twist of fate I got Yellow Dwarf with my one free Crown I got from the event, so! I really cannot complain, I was NOT expecting that to pan out. default smiley <:o)

Other than that, I actually liked it decently much? The prizes were low-level mostly but it's still stuff I could use, stocked up on mash and carrots which is always nice since I hate having to use my meadows and workshops to grow/craft them. Got a little stack of Fortunes, good for objectives. Enough medallions to maybe complete the collection finally and some Wander's Spirits for the same. They weren't big, exciting prizes but I'm not disappointed.

The only one that wasn't that good was the final grand prizes of the horseshoes; I still have no clue what to do with them and the gallop ones from several events back are sitting in my inventory. I breed Western horses so all the English-specific bonus items are a little disheartening. I know it's the more popular of the two on the game, though.

Positively one of my favorite events! I like choosing what I want and the ability to go back and pick up bm items that I missed after finishing the contest was awesome! Way to go Howrse! default smiley (l)

I was very happy with this event! I was able to complete it and get the big prize and got a lot of stuff along the way. Yes, a lot of bronze boxes had AP's and food and tack but I need those things too. My only complaint is that the graphics of the squares was a bit busy so I really had to look to see what direction I was going. I knew I wouldn't win the divine but I got a lot of fragments. Still I wish once in a while they would let us win fragments to apply to any horse of our choice. I have a lot of partially started divines that I will never finish! My horses are mostly English tack but I understand the frustration of the folks who mostly have Western horses and all the events offer English tack. Maybe in the future when an item of tack is offered we could choose whether we wanted English or Western? Would make it a bit more fair.

Prizes were fine.
Really didn't like that I landed on every. single. obstacle. ever.

I'd be thinking "Hey I can land on a three and get a good prize!" and no.
Land directly on an obstacle, mess up my idea of what I hoped would happen.

Doesn't exactly make the game "random chance" if the game is deliberately forcing me to land on every. single. obstacle. ever.
Due to landing on every. single. obstacle. ever., I had to use Passes to be able to reach the end.

If the game was actually random chance like it's supposed to be, that'd actually be fun.
10/10 hating those obstacles now. default smiley (n)

Well, it was good to be able to avoid those stupid companions by choosing something else in the boxes. The droppings are always useful for those of us who have plant divines.

Went through the whole event grabbing as many fragments as I could (including all daily objectives) and STILL had to open 20 crowns to get the divine! Not cool!default smiley (n)

I did not care for it, I got through the first board just fine, but the second one froze about half way through and would not let me progress further.
I don't know if I was supposed to pay to continue rolls on that second board, but it was rather disappointing when I couldn't continue.

It Was Fun And Everything But Wish That It Ran Until The End Of The Month And Enjoyed The Gifts But Don't Really Care For Ascent Of Olympus

I'm glad I was able to choose my prizes. I would've been bummed to get literal horse dung as a prize. As for progression, I got quite far, but not far enough to get the big end prize. I got some good things, like aging points and some Equus, which is always welcome. Maybe next time make it a little easier to get spins, since some spins landed me on negative squares, and might as well not been a spin. Either way, it was sort of fun.

I liked this event, personally. Yes, some of the prizes wasn't much to speak of. But for those who are new or fairly new to Howrse, the prizes do help in a way. I remember when I was new, it was very difficult to get some of those things. That was back before we had all these events. Sure, we had some, but not as many as we have now. I used to sit around waiting for the next event to arrive...and waited for a while. Sort of lost interest in Howrse, left to try other similar games...but always found my way back to Howrse. When I returned, I find the events happening a lot more often. I keep hoping there will be more events that are *More* interactive though.

Was fun. Just wish there was more ways to get moves. Every day I'd do the 2 rides and 2 competitions. Just wish there had been other things to do to get more.

I was a fan of this one. I found it relatively easy to progress, but maybe I just had lucky rolls. I liked that there was an aspect of gameplay involved, but not so much that you needed to dedicate lots of time to completing tasks. Prizes weren't incredible, but getting to choose was nice so even with the low level prizes there was a chance of picking something useful. I had to fill the meter for Yellow Dwarf but was able to get enough fragments from the event and objectives that it didn't feel too bad. A pretty solid event, in my opinion!

Wasn’t able to finish the event because my game froze on the second to last table every time…tried deleting and redownloading the app several times but it never went away. I ended up with like 30+ rolls left so I would’ve 100% finished the event if the game didn’t have such a frustrating bug in it. Definitely soured the game for me

from my main account on another server -
I think this event and all other events should last a few more days.
This event is very simple to understand, as well as easy and quick.
I don't think the prizes in the first half are the best, and I think that it is too many passes to get to the end, as some people cannot get on every day and may miss a day, which could cause them to have to spend passes or just give up, which brings me back to my point that maybe all events should last a little longer, therefore closing the buffer days between events. I understand if this is not possible, but I am sure I am not the only person who would like this. default smiley (l)default smiley :)

It was okay, but far from my favourite. It was just another event and not one I'd ever remember or anything. The HoPs were nice prizes but everything else was meh, including the prizes

6/10 I think

Yeah, that didnt turn out great for me either. It's sad when you have to spend so many passes just to get enough fragments. I tried but couldn't afford it.

I liked this event. I'm not that into the horseshoes as a main prize, but I'm sure they're helpful for other players. Getting a choice of prize options is always nice (though on mobile it would be helpful to have a title for the options; sometimes the icons are things I've never seen before).

I also liked the fragment balance for the divine; it was enough to make free players feel like they're making progress and to entice people who had passes saved up to spend if they wanted to.
