So I've looked at all the changes we're going to get very soon. And I simply need to mention some of my thoughts.

All games need to change and evolve to keep the players interested.

Please do not feel shy because my post is so long. Or solely look at it as a rant. I have given it all some serious thought..

- PRO -
Interface mods
- like how the mission breakdown is located at the EC office page. Easy to change without having to click around a lot.

That we can decide what % we use when the horses go on missions hunts.

- Reserved boxes
Love how they are now located on their own tab.

- Workshops, greenhouses -
Good idea that they come in 3 different sizes. That we can have more than one workshop or greenhouse.

That we can craft various items and sell them.

That we can now have 6 meadows.



- CON -
Production
- I do not understand why a large workshop can only produce 300 mashes, and that said production take 12 hours

- that we cannot decide how many units we want to produce (within a max limit the workshop can handle of course).
Example allow me to produce 10 saddles, 10 bridles and X amount of something.
Not set it to 30 saddles only (in the large workshop)

- Workshops -
Production of the bigger workshops and crafting some items requires a scary amount of resources.

Crafting boxes requires wood and sand? I do not quite understand that combination.
sand for err bricks maybe?

- Repairs -
Repairing a 74% wear and tear 3 star box costs:
37 x wood
37 x sand
19 x iron

compared to live, where I have to pay 200e
That difference is mind blowing....sorry to say

RESOURCE GATHERING
That the amount of resources you can find on a mission solely depends on the skills of X horse.
You should think about looking at other features as well.
Just to mention a few
- was the horse bred from blupped parents
- did the owner do foal games (and gained the max possible skills)
- the blup of the horse - did the energy level drop too low at some point.
- was it put to bed too late.
- does it have a GA...etc.etc

Just because a horse does not have killer skills does not mean it cannot be some players favorite. Surely there is a little room for the lower end horses as well?

RESELL OPTION
- it is a tad messy now with all the items. Can we have tabs?
Like fodder, resources, tack etc.

EMPLOYEES
That you got rid of the employees only to replace them with virtual ones that require the player to pay either 1 pass or diamonds for one months worth of X benefit to the EC.
Sure they old employees were a hazzle, but bringing them back, only to ask for diamonds or passes is just not right.



SERIOUSLY DISLIKE
- the feed-pearls-on-a-string feature we now have, when feeding the horses.
I have disabled that one live for a reason. I like to use shortcuts and the old interface is perfect for that.
Sure you can have the autofeed option if your VIP. But all the clicking required for those that does not have said feature is hardly fair. Please give us the option to use the old interface with the drop down boxes.

- that the box and meadow has been removed from the horse page. Yes we can add various items to get energy compensation. But the meadow and box gave the game a little reality..faint as it might be


QUESTIONS
- will the amount you have to pay for feeds in the store also depend on supply and demand? Or will the amounts available be infinite at a frozen amount per unit when we go live?

- will the price for 1 star cloths, wraps and bonnets vary also? Or will the amount you have to pay be frozen like it is now?

- Cows
Once the 30 day period is up and we can get leather. Will we then have to buy more cows? Or are they like apples and will stay in the meadow until we cancel that...err crop?

Are they not letting you use divines for the missions either ? A lot of people use divines as fillers for their EC occupancy % -- would really be a shame not ot be able to use them

the new feeding thing

The feed drop down option has been removed and only the dotted scale can be used. I seriously hate this change.

The box water troughs are running at 30,000 each and take 3 days to make in the workshop. Showers take 120 hours( cost is 52,000 e). Here the amount of iron is a lot.

The large workshop costs 160,000 and take 300 hours and a lot of sand and wood.

The boxs can now only be made and again sand and wood ( and a lot of these resources) and take 192 hours ( 3 star).

All resources can be bought at 10 e per unit.
