Liked this event very easy to progress, and very satisfied with the prizes I received.

As I thought I wasn't able to get love divine, but at least I got 700+ fragments for her now, so getting her next time she comes around it'll be less expensive. But overall, I'm very satisfied. Got myself several great bmi + 2 divines (VV and Red Giant)default smiley (7)

I second this motion! It's always so tedious having to go through the tutorials every single game! Like we get it! This ain't our first rodeo!

Boring and visually unappealing.

I was 20 kilometers away from the end, even though I logged in every day and kept moving forward, and I also spent 285 passes and only just unlocked the password, so for me it cost a lot and the only thing I'm happy about is the golden fleece, the titan challenge and the crown of these.

It Was Fun But Wish That It Was Still Going On So That You Can Finish The Whole Game

Yeah one more day and vanilla would be mine or one less shovel to get extra tokens

I felt that it was very hard to progress in this mini game without buying passes. And all the paths were hard to get through bc of their length. The prizes were alright but I always skipped getting fragments bc I knew I wasn't going to get the divine anyway without using passes.

Overall not my favorite minigame and seemed to be easier for players willing to spend a lot of passes.

Normally, the Christmas event is one of my favorites. That could not be further from true this time around. I highly disliked this event and have always disliked the events like this. Honestly, just all around disappointed with the effort put in from Howrse, however, that seems to be the standard nowadays.

I got one of the Love divines so I am happy. Got only halfway on the main hike. It would be nice if they opened the other hikes earlier so maybe we could get one more. Or at least not wast all the time and tokens getting halfway only to abandon that one in favor of a hike with a horse we really wanted. The graphics were kind of boring but the game was simple enough to play. It did seem that when I switched from the main hike to the Love divine hike that my progress was slower and I had to switch lanes much more often to avoid obstacles I didn't have a card for. Maybe that was just me? I'm grateful for the divine but I was a little confused why the main hike had fragments for a horse that wasn't the grand prize?

Absolutely loved this game! I don't know if it was just me, of if the course difficulties were adjusted since last time, but it seemed much easier to play both the main trail and the extra ones; I ended up with a bunch of great/helpful BMIs, Veselé Vánoce, and Red Giant!

I enjoyed the game, and being a returning player appreciated the tutorial, but I did find the progression somewhat slow and frustrating. The boards had some pretty nice prizes even if you didn’t get the divine, but it was pretty difficult to progress on some of them, especially if you weren’t buying tokens (I did). I got Vesele Vanoce and the Love Divine.

I felt that when you moved sideways, you ought to have received all of the prizes or tokens you moved over, instead of missing the middle one.

All in all it was nice to get some special and luck items on the boards and it’s always fun to get more divines. Thanks Howrse default smiley (l)

I got halfway through through the first hike when the Divine Hikes opened, so I jumped to Divines. I went for Smoke as I already had a great deal of fragments, so I didn't need to go as far down the trail. My trouble was there were days I couldn't get the second set of bonus coins as I didn't come across the item I needed to use it on, or I had all moves & didn't have the card needed to get by a certain obstacle. That was frustrating. I made it far enough down the Hike to get Smoke without using any passes. Then I went for Red Giant as I had a great deal of fragments for him as well. Red Giants Hiking Trail had so many more obstacles in it the Smoke's did, it was awful! I got stuck many times as I ran into an obstacle I didn't have a card to go around or through and couldn't go sideways as I didn't have enough coins to do so as it took too long for the game to make the sideways move only 1 coin. I think once the Divine Hikes open, the sideways moves should be 1 coin. I tried not to use too many passes as I am on Social Security (Disability) and money is tight. I know I spent money I shouldn't have, but I really wanted the second Divine and I was so close to getting him. I'll pay for it later when I have to figure out my monthly bills.

How about giving us a break and not have an event for about a month or so. That way we can save up our passes from our Daily Objectives.

Thanks!

Don't like this kind of event. hard to progress unless you're a pass spender.

I really want to know if this happened to anyone else in this event 1st and 2nd if it's happened to people in past events or anything similar if so when and what event. Thank you and sorry for the long rant.

I got ripped off with the log in bonus I logged in every day and should have gotten 12 tokens for my continuous log in streak and didn't miss a day of the Christmas Hike Event and only got 6 tokens every single day causing me to not be able to get as far in the Hikes or get prizes that I would have gotten if I had received the 12 tokens I was supposed to receive instead of the 6 I got every day and feel extremely cheated and scammed cause I followed the rules and because I didn't get those extra tokens I wasnt able to get prizes I would have if I had gotten them and ended up using passes to get extra tokens that I know I wouldnt have spent at all or as many if I had those tokens I did what was required to receive the bonus and have gotten the login bonuses from previous events.

Seeing some really negative comments from people about this event - not going to lie, I feel it was one of the better events in recent howrse history (especially better than the memory cardsdefault smiley (d)) Perhaps I was just very lucky, but on both servers, I was able to get both a free divine (from the main hike), and many BMIs, with several very good ones. - there was literally no requirement for people to spend passes at all for this event - even to get a divine (so no complaints there..).

There was an element of tactical gameplay (e.g. being very strategic with the x1/x2/x3 cards when they came into play, and going out of your way to use a particular card in order to get the extra 5 tokens).

Overall a very profitable event (in my opinion) for a non pass buyer, and a minigame that I actually found enjoyable in and of itself (rather than spamming rides or carrots like some of the Great Challenge objectives...)

ZaFinn - Are you saying you never got the bonus or that it reset? If the latter, that's normal. Since doing this, it's always been that it will reset back to day one of the cycle once you reach day five. You don't continue to get the extra tokens every day. If you never got the bonus, despite logging in every day, it should have been mentioned to contact us with screenshots to show your login history and tokens.
