I'm excited for the Kairos Dial. I use it all the time when I et the chance, and is the best thing with expensive comp horses.

This month welcomes some updates for the Safe Haven and the teams!

Check out all our changes on the new Devs’ Corner!

Don't hesitate to discuss or give your feedback on these features in this thread!

Best Regards,
The Howrse Team

What I'm about to comment on has definitely been said by other players but if its not broken don't fix it!
The way to send your horses to the Safe Haven before this update was fast and accessible and now its slightly time consuming, it may just be a few seconds but its kinda inconvenient for me and probably to some other player as well. Plus putting it with the other sale options? There is probably going to be some mistakes/accidents happen if someone isn't paying too much attention.
Probably a long shot but on the next update maybe consider changing it back?

Interesting changes to the teams. I like the idea of the maximum sales GP, and the fact you can't remove the affix etc. Interesting idea, would be curious what happens when you leave the team. If it's got the affix and above max GP, I assume it can't be sold to others still? What about the foals from it? If you're not a part of the team would they then not have the automatic affix and be able to be sold?

Interesting that yet again the dev's are fixing things that don't require fixing & expect us to be excited about it or for those whining to feel vindicated. It won't make any difference to me & you've not taken into account that other players/teams will find a way around the changes.

Putting the 'Sell to safe Haven' in my humble opinion should have been put at the bottom of the options, not the top to avoid errors.

How about doing something about the 'Rosette rort'? is it fair (or foul) play to allow other players & teams to 'set up' the Rosette races so that none are available for the new players? or for those who get the dreaded 'Win a Rosette' objective when there are none available to be had? sure it can be swapped for another objective but half the time that's not a good option for some, or just for those who might like to 'have a go' at winning one fairly?

HUGE mistake putting the 'safehaven' sales in with the other 'genuine' sales methods. People don't send their horses to safe haven for a reason, because they DON'T want too! Now, l can see it happening by accident!! Again, why are you fixing something that isn't broken?


As for the team changes, the only change l'm truly happy to see is the delay in a NEW team being ranked. This will help stop the underhanded 'foul play' tactics l've seen certain players/teams use to collect two reward rankings at the end of the month, by splitting their team into two seperate teams, deliberately cutting out their opposition from a genuine and honest placing in the rankings.

The 'over-ride' option for 'inactive' team owners isn't a bad idea, but l think the time period should be much longer than a month before it comes into action, the owner could be on holidays or sick and l think it's unfair that they potentially 'lose' ownership of their team just because they haven't ,logged on in the past 30 days.

Some of the other changes are questionable on just how they might benefit the team and it's ease of operation. Time will tell l suppose.

Ok then, so after seeing some of these changes first hand there are some definite benefits and drawbacks...

1. Removing the cost of team sales between members should have been implemented right from the start, but better late than never.

2. Having your mare only see covers from that team is also a positive change, being on several teams can often mean there are many covers up for different breeds so cross breeding was a very real obstacle.

3. I like the idea of the team affix being automatically put on team horses when bred, but l don't understand why there is a gp clause, if you don't use the scale available, then this does not happen, which makes it a negative. This feature should be automatic for all team horses bred regardless of the horses gp. (why do you lot always do things by halves)

4. The scale for selling team horses isn't a bad idea, it can remove the 'error' factor of putting a team horse in the public sales ect, and members don't have to check the current gp sales allowed.

5. I am totally against the 30 day period regarding 'inactive team owners' this period should be no shorter than 6 months. Teams can function perfectly well without the team owner being present, it's really only dispersing the 'team kitty' that's affected, so it won't 'make or break' a team to wait a few months for this.

6. Including the 1 day for loans is a great change, but l think the amount of horses we can 'loan' or be 'loaned' should increase from 3 to at least 10, or even be unlimited, fast moving teams need more flexibility in this department.

As for the ridiculous concept that hardly anyone sells horses to safe haven, so we'll put that option on top of the general sales options is just another of Admins backwards thinking when this option is already available on every single horses profile page clear as day, oh yeah, it will most certainly result in many more horses being sold to safe haven, unfortunately it will be the new and inexperienced players who will get caught by this sneaky little trap

Can ya add more EMOJI'S

Thank you everyone for your feedback and suggestions on the latest game update!
