I usually love this game, but was very disappointed in the prizes this time around. I don't care about companions or divine fragments and there wasn't much else. I stopped playing about halfway through.

I like this event even though I did not finish it, I am happy with the prizes I got.

I played for some of the prizes then stopped. Just not interested in getting more piles of stuff I wont use. I almost feel like I am a "game hoarder". LOLOL

I always enjoy the Memory events because they're fun brain teasers with pretty good prizes overall. I appreciate the daily free "booster" (ex: revealing tiles of the same family) and the occasional extra hearts if I fall behind.

My only real complaint is, as always, fragments as prizes. I was never a supporter of the idea of fragments and probably never will be lol. I don't care a whole lot about divines so they're not really even prizes to me; just filler rewards to get to the next level where *real* prizes are actually given.

As usual I'm not interested in collecting fragments, Once or twice I tried to collect them when you first started with them but never even got halfway to ever getting enough. The prizes I won were nice but some of them I already have a ton of so will probably never use all of them up.

Memory event is always nice and easy. There’s really no way to not get through the event (graph paper is your friend) unless you’re just straight up missing days or wasting lives. Finished the final board with 14 lives left. Proceeded to use them up re-playing Board #2, mostly picking up junk tack, but got 2-3 each of Hypnos’ Blanket, Spurs, and AP, so that was nice. I did mis-click a few times throughout the event, so I probably could have ended with 16-17 lives if I’d not been a silly goober.

I will say, the image of the purple and black hats are far, far too similar, at least on my screen. Please, please brighten the image of the purple hat.default smiley :-)) One of my mis-clicks was because I wrote down a purple hat as a black hat without realizing there were two very, very similar hats, I’d hate to be a new player wasting lives over something simple like that.

Anyway, nice, calm event; very pretty; who doesn’t love easy free items, especially new bonus items; and I will watch eagerly for the Mushroom divines to show up in luck items or Ascent at some nebulous point in the far-flung future. They are super cute, with nice powers, but I didn’t have a backlog of TC to get either of them and they were out of my pass-budget.

I enjoy the games I just don't care about fragments. Literally anything else (aging points, mash, bonus items, even droppings) are more valuable to me than fragments! But otherwise I really enjoyed this event!

This is a more relaxing event for me. After a long day at work, so easy to zone out and match things.

Prizes? They’re a bit of everything so I assume it’s based off our feedback. I used to collect fragments and get divines. Now I have too many. For new players, it’s maybe a better entry event for divine fragments?

Compared to other events—total win. I loathe the maze events as my horwses (well, really just me) get confused with which way we’re going. I’ve spent so many turns circling and clicking against the stupid walls. default smiley xd

Agree with others that prizes left me wanting. Also agree it was easy enough to progress. I wish you could have restarted the game and gotten prizes again however as I had finished a few days before and wouldn't have minded getting some extra little goodies

I was within two moves of finishing this event but the grand prize was so mediocre that I was not going to spend passes to get it. I remember when the prize for finishing an event was a Divine and not some made up "bonus"! Perhaps, if we had been given a choice of a Western or English bonus, it would have been different. The other prizes weren't all that great either. And I hate how involved this event is and how long it takes to do. It isn't much fun but there was a prize or two scattered in that I wanted so I played. Next time, I will probably just skip it all together if they do not improve the prizes! On a different subject I really wish Howrse would let us change the color of the backgrounds. I really hate this urine yellow color!

When the divine was the end prize, you couldn't finish for free in almost all events. In fact, you only got about 70-75% through the event without spending. For the majority of events, that was anything between the value of 2000-3000 passes in the current value of passes. Very few promos allowed you to use luck items to get the currency, so passes were required.

While I would like to see there being better end prizes, I doubt they will have divines as an end prize frequently if it can be done for free. There were exceptions, even when the divine was the end prize, but the majority of events have always required you to spend if you want the divine.

Speaking as someone that has been here since 2008, I don't miss being unable to finish a good chunk of the promo. Especially considering passes were a lot harder to get before the currency change, as back then you had to spend tons of equus on pass horses if you didn't have a farm, as we didn't have the daily objectives.

Feedback wise, I personally liked a good chunk of the prizes. That said, the ordering of some of them was strange. Also, only two trot horseshoes when every other one has had four offered. I understand that there are ten different competitions to add for, but I do feel that every one should get the same amount when it is first introduced. If four of the trot one was too much for an early level prize, maybe it would have been better placed on one of the final boss levels.

My other complaint is the lack of scaling with the crown divine. I personally like this system, as I get to finish for free and also get extra prizes instead of paying to complete the event, but I do feel that the fragments in the crown should be based on the divine. 18 is fine for a divine that drops something like a p stone or m arm, alongside the other fragments you get, but for a divine that offers 2 pass seeds and costs a lot to care for and benefit from? Absolutely not. They aren't even close in value, so why do we have to pay the same for for all three, when one of them is clearly not even close to the same value?

This to me has been an ongoing complaint ever since the corgi was put at the same rate, despite giving a max of 750-770 passes based on when you tame it. This one was released almost two years ago, yet nothing has done to correct the rate or to scale it. I have the exact same complaint when it comes to this divine, as it would take months to even get enough for one harvest, while also costing a ton just to benefit from it.

Otherwise, nice event, glad to see some recurring and new tiles, although I'm not sure what some of them meant.
Something with a red medal, a green barrel, a blue cone, etc.
As a non-equestrian person IRL, I'm only able to tell the green barrel must relate to barrel racing.


Yes, the Barrel tile was obvious, and I figured out that the one with the medal must have been Cutting because it looked like there was a calf on it. But I did not figure out the one with the blue hat and cone, or the one with the black hat. Being able to label or 'name' the tiles helps me to remember them better.

I have an equestrian background but don't know a lot about Western.

So, so for an event. The end prize is nice because it was a new release, but it was a lot of effort for something not everyone can use. If there was a market for trading the horse shoes, maybe that would make it better.

The prizes per level were mediocre, I use most all of them, however there were not many of them.

Overall though, at least it doesn't take much effort to knock it out. So it was a 50/50
