New features

HellOw,

Our developers have something to tell you!

Every three weeks, approximately, our devs will provide you with information about their work in the “Dev’s Corner.”

This topic is a way of keeping everyone updated on what’s happening with the game. We invite you to discuss and leave your feedback for each of the publications.

Note: All posts must adhere to the forum guidelines and be constructive.

Take a look at our Devs' Corner here!

Warm wishes,
The Howrse Team

    I'm sorry, but we shouldn't have to 'just get used to it' when the majority of players are unhappy because it affects their game negatively.

    I couldn't really care less about the stroke button looking weird, or that the lesson button almost doesn't even exist, l keep waiting for it to shrink up and disappear before my eyes like a UFO.
    l think the whole change is a laughable effort on the games part to look as if they are improving our game experience.

    BUT......

    The cover button is totally unacceptable, it needs to be thickened back up and all the colour faded right out when covering is unavailable and coloured right up when available, the difference needs to be easily recogisable and leave no doubt.
    I do a massive amount of breeding everyday and since the change, l've over aged several of my mares because l find it hard to tell when it's lit up again.

    Can't say l'll 'just get used to it' in a hurry if it's not changed default smiley :@

    As bad as these new icons are- my main concern with the update isn't the lack of care or effort that has been put into the updates.. It is more so the fact that we DO NOT get listened too. Updates should not regularly been negatively effecting game play. This horrendous update is not a one off bad idea, they seem to be more often than not! default smiley (o)

    Players from the AUS server alone, along with all other servers are suggesting updates and features that would genuinely be of so much help to players- particularly those that are competitive, and they just get skimmed over- if they are even read in the first place... Implementing features that players want will increase the amount of time people play, the amount of money they put back into the game and their overall commitment to playing. It seems as though Owlient does forget that the players are the ones funding these games, without us it would be nothing.

    I can have a laugh at these ridiculous looking icons, however, YES it is game effecting! They are tiny, and in all honesty can cause eye strain... It effects peoples BLUPing and breeding, which for a lot of players is the main objective of their game... default smiley 8-)

    If you have nothing good to implement into the game, then don't update anything at all... Everyone was satisfied with the 'before' icons, so this update is so unnecessary.

    This update looks like there was a half-hearted attempt to give the design team some busy work.

    The new icons are at best indistinguishable from the old and at worst are harder to see.

    Meanwhile we've all wanted updates that actually improve game play.

    This game could use a lot of ergonomic design and feature improvements. I've had to scale back my game play because of this.

    I am liking the new organisation of the Black Market page - I love that the companions have their own tab!

    I generally give up complaining as it seems as though the only ones that have a say are the new comers to the game, but I have to voice about the latest changes to Croesus Fortune. Why change what was working perfectly well? The hoof pick as lost its value for it's purpose, Croesus Fortune as lost its purpose I certainly will not be using any more. Definitely not enough thought put into this one.
