Go to page:
They are not going to release foundations that increase in GP /after/ the horse exists. That would likely break the mechanics of the game.

I know they attempted to implement something like this before the regional server started up and International went up in a storm with it. We will see if they decide to listen to player's reasonings this time around, but if they already have it in testing phases, that means that the Dev team already has the coding and mechanics in place they have just not gone live yet. Testing is primarily a way to make sure all the bugs are out of the system.

From what I've gathered from the INT server, the reviews ranged from eh to NO! Really hoping they take into consideration the flood of tickets NIB'er's have sent in recently. it was a horrible idea in 2011, and it's a horrible idea now.
Regarding the A_ Promo, I really hope they release the Christmas Pass packs this year, I really want mine and it's so close to when they usually release them!

While I do not have that sort of insight, considering it has been something that has happened every year since the regional servers opened. . .and it seems quite a number of people take advantage of the offers each year. . . I doubt they will discontinue the trend.

Two questions:

1) I see a Halloween promo might be in the works. Is it going to offer the last Legendary Horse?

2) I read an Astrological set of horses might be on the way, with a prize on your birthday if you own that particular horse. Is Howrse going to announce which horse belongs to which days/months? I'm technically a cusp baby, born on the day the sun moved from one sign to the next, so I'm not sure if I need to purchase the one for the first sign, the second sign, or both.

Yes to question 1.

Regarding question two--from Shorah on International

Click to display


Each Zodiac will probably have its own promo (sort of like how each Legendary had its own promo) - so Scorpio is going to be in this "World Championship" promotion. Sagittarius will be offered in a different promo. Capricorn will be offered in a different one, and so on so forth.

Yes, it's possible some might share a promotion (ex. depending on the start time - Capricorn and Sagittarius could share a promo like the Magic Ride or a Cards event (both of which are events that sometimes offer more than one divine) - but I feel it is much more likely that each Astrological Divine will have its own event during its own 'Calendar' period.

The only Astrological Divine being offered in the next promo is Scorpio. My guess is that each one will have its own promo that will fall during the time the sign is active. As I stated on a page or two back - this most likely means that we'd see releases happen during the following times:

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Libra (September 23 - October 22)

Likewise, some Divines might share an event (ex. A promo starts December 18th - ends January 7th - this would cover both the end of Sagittarius time, and the start of Capricorn's)

All we can do is wait and see.

I am hoping they do and maybe get a Balios. default smiley :)

Balios does seem to be the popular choice. I am still hoping he winds up in TCs again rather than having to spend a small fortune since it appears I may have a rather hefty (but happily chosen) purchase in a little while.

Thankfully I work, and other than things to snack on at work and home, and occasionally grabbing an actual lunch from the food court I do not spend all that often.

Unlike on Howrse where I seem to be able to blow through equus in a week. Any word on the workings of the new promo yet? I know it is not up in English Testing, but wondered if anyone had any new incites from the French Test server. . . I am quite curious how the mechanics of this one are going to function.

So am I. From what I can gather--
Click to display
First likely to start mid November. Second and I am quoting ShorahNagi on most of this so here are some of her random thoughts. This promo has different difficulty levels according to the translation. My guess is this is being done so that there's no issues with newer players who only have low skilled horses having to run against those with 4000+ skilled horses. The scoring, points, and prizes within the levels will probably be the same as well, as translations have pointed to these divines being something that all players have a chance to get: So - winning 1st in the 4000+ skill level = 100 points Winning 1st in the less than 200 skill level = 100 points *just examples* Like any other Divine - these must be won from an initial event...and you can get all of them regardless of your actual sign...though only the Divine of your Sign will give you a gift. However, it seems that every Zodiac Calendar Month - a horse of the corresponding sign will be given to ONE player who is also of that sign. So if you are a Capricorn - you'd have a chance of winning one for nothing on the 19th of January (the end of Capricorn's 'month'). Each Zodiac will probably have its own promo (sort of like how each Legendary had its own promo) - so Scorpio is going to be in this "World Championship" promotion. Sagittarius will be offered in a different promo. Capricorn will be offered in a different one, and so on so forth. Yes, it's possible some might share a promotion (ex. depending on the start time - Capricorn and Sagittarius could share a promo like the Magic Ride or a Cards event (both of which are events that sometimes offer more than one divine) - but I feel it is much more likely that each Astrological Divine will have its own event during its own 'Calendar' period
What is confusing to me is the<<>>. which almost suggests you must win the first offering. Beyond this only testing it will give me more insight and I expect that will be next week or the week after next.

About the A___ Divines:
Click to display
Is there some kind of work around to prevent people from cheating this if one is really given out at the end of the sign period? As of now, players can change their birthdays. What's to stop some unscrupulous players from doing this for a chance to win the divine, even if it doesn't correspond with their real birthday?


The foundie GP gain doesn't seem to be much of a solution to the problem. Even with a boost of 100 GP initially, it won't stop them from being completely outclassed by skillers in training in rookie comps or even moderate GP horses.

Does anyone know what all the zodiac horses wil give? It may not scrupulous, but if my birthday is going to be set for good, I'd rather have it set for something good.
If I don't have a birthday for the specific divine if there a way I could still get a prize or will the divine offer me nothing?

From the looks of it each divine will offer you something on your birthday, obviously you have to have the divine for this to happen, but if you own the divine it seems like it will give yo something even if your birthday is not in its time span.

Hallaloth - where did you see that the divine will give a gift even if you're not born in its time interval? From the description that Cyberhorse posted it says "If you are born under this sign, ____ offers _____ every year, the day of your birthday."

I suppose I should have read back before I posted. Personally I am hoping the translation is slightly off and that the Zodiac will at least award something on your personal birthday if you own the Zodiac regardless of your sign. Otherwise, aside from collector mentality and pretty graphics I cannot see much of a desire for people to own these. . .which seems counter productive on Howrse's part. I suppose we will see when it actually goes live or in testing though.

As was also posted a little ways back - Howrse is saying that (at least in Scorpio's Case) that he will be easier to win - a concession to those who have complained about the high pass cost to get a divine.

So if they are making these divines winnable with minimum to no pass investment - it makes sense that they don't have really huge perks.

Although as you say - more will be learned once testing starts. Can't wait to reas Cyberhorse's reports.

Although I am not excited about this promo I am very curious to get to the testing ( maybe next week is possible) to see just what is going on.

This is the first promo where even I am confused on how it works. I usually have some clue even before it goes live but not this time.default smiley (m)
