Very glad to see the end of the remove the wings from a Pegasus DO. Any chance we can get rid of remove the horn from a unicorn too?

And the DO that I can never do is the winning of rosettes...

Another one for seeing the rosette DO go, it's the one that always derails my 7 day streak.

I don’t really understand why they’ve removed the “remove a Pegasus’ wings” and not the WoY one as that’s the one that really seems to drain my supplies. I get the customisation items one staying as there are so many given out (in almost every promo) but WoYs are quite rarely given.

I was interested in finding out which one has been scrapped and it's one of the ones I don't mind so much, reason being that promos are generous with MB's and often like to take wings off a horse to then upgrade another horse when I get another MB, the unicorn horn I manage but don't like it as it makes me not want to sell any for 'horn fodder' then my affix be ruined!! Rosettes are the only one I cannot do, it would be good if things like this were tailors towards your game, I never use WoY so that objective is all mine are used for along with the Put a horse to bed that ends in 3 months, most I am able to do easily but these ones, as others have said, seem unnecessary or hard and half the time the HoP at the end is barely anything, just equus, tack and fodder, the passes of course are appreciated though!!

I'm all for removing the "Remove a Unicorn Horn" one and "Rosette" one as well. Those usually trip me up. However, M Blood is so easy to get that I don't even mind that one???

I am guessing that the remove wings was withdrawn because of the number of players not realising that they would lose any GA on same horse... Probably easier to withdraw the objective, than to correct the GA issue...
So no point asking for removal of other objectives just cos they are difficult...

Never thought of it this way! But then that should mean the "remove a unicorn horn" should be scrapped as well as removing a horn also removes a GA ... maybe next month?

I don't understand why Howrse keeps changing things that work e.g. displays of 5E or GA, when there's lots of things that could really use some improvement.
One of them is care. I'm not sure if this happens to others as well, but when I click those buttons it doesn't always register.
For example, I go 'stroke', 'drink', 'groom' and 'feed'. By the time I click 'feed' I realise that the horse didn't drink, eventhough I clicked it. I click 'drink' again, the game begins to lag and the page reloads. Then I click 'drink' again and then the button starts shaking.
Again, not sure if this is common, thought I'd share anyway

Maybe...
Uni's are quite straight forward tho' - you put a GA on and the horn shows on the GA... so makes sense that you lose the GA when you remove the horn...
The wings issue was a little more confusing as you could put a GA on a horse that didn't have wings, and then put an MB on to turn it into a pegasus, but the wingless GA would remain in place. As the the horse has a GA without wings, it sort of "makes sense" to assume that you would keep the GA if you had to remove wings (For a long time I assumed this was the case, until I actually did it...
).
It would perhaps have made more sense, to stop us putting an MB on a horse with a wingless GA - or - warn us that we would lose the wingless GA if we turn the horse into a pegasus...?
Sounds easier to get rid of the objective...
Oh... and that's what they did...

I think they should bring in a new mobile update? I just joined a team and I mainly play on mobile and because of that I can’t see Team sales or Coverings? Or maybe do something for the EC on mobile???

I'm still strongly against using passes to increase the reindeers' skills. This will just allow pass buyers to race to the top and win all the competitions by increasing their reindeers' skills with passes. I'm a non-pass buyer so for me, my reindeer are still useless because they'll never get enough skills to win comps from rides. And even if they did somehow manage to get enough skills, someone could easily just increase their own reindeers' skills with passes to win against my own reindeer.
Please remove the option to increase your reindeers' skills with passes. It makes the competition too unfair. They can get their skills from rides like the solars. That way, we must build up their skills over time and everyone has a fair shot at winning because players don't have the opportunity to suddenly spend their passes on increasing their reindeers' skills so that they can have reindeer with skills that are hundreds, or possibly thousands of points higher than everyone else's reindeer.
Even though you have made this change to give the reindeer a purpose, the reindeer are still very much useless to most players because they have no chance of winning a competition unless the players will continuously waste thousands of passes on them to increase their skills. And in all honesty, wasting thousands of passes to keep winning like that is useless because you're still not going to get them back even if the reindeer do get a few hundred passes from placing at the end of the competition period.

When does the ranking for the reindeer winnings update? It hasn't changed in hours and my Blitzen has twice the earnings of the no.1 on the list

Nice to see the reindeer finally have a use and to be able to earn a few equus from them.

Anybody know what influences the amount earned from the skijoring competitions? The equus for first place is inconsistent, for example, and yet with auto entries I assumed comps would all be one level. Surely, with high value prizes available, Howrse wouldn't include that level of random luck - would they? Confused

I'm experience severe lag ever since the update. It's taking ages (like 3/5 seconds) to update when I've fed my horse. How's it for everyone else?

Incredibly laggy for the past few days, I know several others experiencing it too. Never seen it this bad.

How is it possible to win that many equus in skijoring competitions? My first place prizes range from 145 to 155. To win 1600 equus in one day in say 8 comps, you'd have to win 200 eq per comp.

has anyone worked out what the equus are dependent on?
and is it is worked out on how much one reindeer wins, or how much as a player i win in total from the reindeers (aka, is it an advantage to have multiple reindeers or as long as you have 1 it doesnt matter?)

I'd love to see the past month rankings, possibly in an additional tab in the current rankings box on our reindeer's pages?

Each reindeer is ranked individually depending on how much that reindeer won independent of any others you own; say you had 5 competing reindeer, you could potentially win five separate pass prizes each month. As for the kitties offered by each competition, I'm curious of that myself. It seems to vary quite significantly!

You can get to the pass page by clicking your current pass reserve if the PM link is faulty for whatever reason. The gift coupon code section is on the lower right side there. You'll need to be on desktop mode, not mobile or the app.
