[UPDATED] Devs' Corner: March 2026

Same concerns as raised on PreProd - but here are the first of many:
- Pretty unfair bias towards new players that the Special Horses trophies only track the newer divine collections rather than older collections, which would be much more special and exciting.

- Would be nice to know at which point the trophies have started counting the addition of BM items, companions etc., and from which point all our work has been wasted. E.g. I have definitely achieved 5 rosettes with the same horse throughout my game play
- Recommendation to preview rewards before receiving them has been ignored

Just bring back the old layout these new trophies are pure GARBAGE and CHILDISH. Let me have my CLASSIC and CLASSY looking trophies back.

Our player pages look disgusting. I for one loved seeing which trophies people had collected and I loved being able to display which trophies I'd earnt as well.

The old trophy page was brilliant to navigate and not blown up and shoved into my face like the collection coats are, also having to click into the collections and then click another button to go into another page just to see which coats you have? absolute time wasting and unneeded.

NOBODY asked for this update, I'm pretty sure a large majority of us were happy with how it was before. I hope its returned to how it was before this absolute train wreck of an update.

ALSO just taking away our golden horse shoes like "WHOOSH they were never there in the first place" doesn't sit right with me. I worked hard to collect them. I liked collecting them and displaying them but oh yeah Howrse doesn't care about its players, if it did this update wouldn't even be a thing. Stop trying to be woke and modern you'll loose a large chunk of your player base Howrse

In case no one else noticed until they thought about it we seemingly lost our horse born each month for the past two years trophy. What a kick in the teeth, I worked hard for that
My motivation to play this game is starting to tank to new lows.

*squints*

Just…. Why?

- WARNING: Despite everyone’s objections, Tarpan is still one of the rewards which may negatively interfere with your game especially if you collect (natural) coat colours.

It is the tenth reward

Grow a brain, smarten up and put it back how it was.

This change has all servers boiling over with disgust for your 'bright idea' of changing our trophy page, if you wanted to award gifts to players for reaching certain trophy goals that would have been easy to do without destroying what was a popular layout, least we knew where we stood and we could admire what we had collected and achieved.

Tarpan was a poor choice of Divines to force onto players as it makes it almost impossible to breed coats needed for each breed of horse, way to go Howrse, good way to make those trophies unobtainable for,players, oh unless they buy passes so they can purchase Hera packs ect, ahhh, now l'm starting to see the big picture

What gets me, is players using prepod were imploring you not to go ahead with the page and like usual, you couldn't care less.

Thanks for nothing

I rarely bother commenting, there is usually not much point because we, the time honoured players who have spent our money & time over the years playing Howrse creating our own personal game & achievements are rarely, if ever listened to.

This unnecessary change to a core part of the game is an insult to our intelligence & loyalty.

I agree with every point made by @Josey jojo, @ Maddi, @Frozen In Time & @ Knyphain.

Howrse essentially started as primary school/young adults game that encouraged parents to join in & be part of their child's/children's gaming experience. Then it somehow managed to progress into a roll playing nightmare that fortunately (at that time) got nipped in the bud by the previous admin team who held the integrity of the game, the players rights, integrity & comfort in high regard.
The key words here are 'the players', the ones who pay your wages over how many servers?
Over the last 2yrs or so many of the game changes that have been imposed on us have become offensive. The unprofessional graphics, across the board, from some of the Divine horses through to the Ow Helios Rays & beyond are an insult to our ocular senses & wallets! We're expected to pay for this & be excited about keeping our trophy ranking? I think not. Certainly it's our choice whether or not to compete in the trophy section of the game however there is very little encouragement for us to want to spend our money or continue on to keep playing a game where the graphics have morphed back to a 1980s style.

So much more to mention but I honestly just couldn't be bothered. Just fix the things that require it & please stop enforcing on us things we don't want or need, or at the very least find a decent compromise. I've said it before & I'll say it again 'If it aint broke don't try to fix it'!

Why not divert your attention to things like -

~Players with multiple accounts, there are so many of them & the so called high tech soft wear that's implemented isn't high tech enough to catch a snail with a jetpack.

~Players that are still using script to cheat their way through

~Game lag

also here to complain .. the one, literally ONE thing I log in to work on is my trophy collections ... I cannot be bothered doing anything seriously here anymore but plodding along on that at my own snail pace was fun for me.

Get my rewards through the new trophy and I have to take a TARPAN???? a literally useless "divine" who doesn't do anything except make collecting rare coats more difficult ?!?!?!

meanwhile all the trophies I worked so hard for do not display on my profile anymore?! I don't really mind the new page, like I can live with it, but whats the point of trophies anyway without the little pin for my profile omgggg

I bailed out of howrse because of it becoming overly profit driven and predatory toward it's player base. Logging in to see the one thing I still liked has also been taken away is so laughable really.
