Okay. Thanks, guys! default smiley :d


First you must be on the International account. From there you either get a personal invite or if you are fast enough you will get a message on your home page ( VIPs only) and get one of several spots reserved for VIPs.

I usually get a personal invite.

So, you only get invited through the International server?
By Retired breeder, May 2, 2015 09:06:53
Will there be points for pinatas in HOPs any more or just till tomorrow?
default smiley :'( one of the vip perks is to get invited to the test site. so its really not fair we have to have an account on INT howrse to get a invite. We are paying 10passes a month for it to be one of the perks.

It is believed the regional servers are too small to create a suitable test server for. US's test server was open once or twice in the past, but lately they have narrowed it down, likely because it is just easier to have everyone all in one place.

"Fair" is subjective... INT has been on longer, has more experienced players, and a much larger community. Why should we get it when we've not been on as long, not all the players that have played here have been on another server in the past, and our community is much smaller?
Think about it this way: when the testing is all over with, you can't keep anything you obtained in the test server. When they had a US test server, they let me try it out, but I realized that making progress that wouldn't last simply wasn't my thing. Just my opinion. Other people have and probably would find it a blast.

New from the U.S.! Shorah has calculated exactly how to do the maze and the pass price, etc:

Click to display
Okay, with the Maximum Recovery rate of 5% an hour - you can make 5 moves per day.

Following the 'White Dot' route ~ it is longer in terms of squares you must move BUT has the added benefit of picking up more treats (which give you 3 free moves each when found in the Maze)

In this image;

The Black Dots are moves made with Energy
The Green Dots are moves made by using Treats
The White Dots are the path through the maze
The Black Numbers signify where you should be at the end of the day (so for example - how on space R3 is the number 1...that means you should be at space R3 at the end of day 1)
*apologies to those who may be color-blind, I needed to use colors that I could easily see and Green and Black were it

Note - moving back to another space DOES take energy/a treat. This is why some spaces have more than one dot, to show that you need to return to that space and for a better count.

73 Moves made with Energy (73 / 5 = 15 (14.6 to be technical)
111 Moves made with Treats (37 x 3 = 111)
Total move count: 184

Total moves needed to reach Lovely Blue following a direct route: 231

the difference between the two: 47 moves

Now - Treats can be found on Level 3 of the Titan's Challenge. You will find between 6 to 10 treats on this level (so between 6 to 10 extra moves).

The Titan's Challenge sells for 2 passes each in the Black Market - so if you are lucky enough to make it to level 3 (as there is a chance you might fail) - you'll need any combination that will equal 47.

The ideal combination *that is, the one that will cost you the least amount of Passes* would be winning 10 treats 4 times, and 7 treats or higher once - for a total of 10 Passes (5 Titan's Challenges at 2 passes each)

The worst combination *that being the one that will cost you the most passes* would be winning the minimum of 6 treats each use. To reach the target amount of 47 ~ you need to use 8 Titan's Challenges (6 x 8 = 48) for a total of 16 passes.

In short - in order to complete this promotion By My Calculations - one would need a minimum of 10 passes.

Again though, these are just My Calculations ~ someone else might come up with different numbers than myself (I am in no way a Math Whiz -and this was done early in the morning for me so there may also be a factor of human error). Also, keep in mind that we do not know the exact lenght of time this promotion is running for. The actual amount could be higher or lower (as I've even heard one report of this being possible to do without needing to use anything but provided moves *unvalidated claim*)

Thanks for posting that, DarkRose. It's very useful. (Even though ShorahNagi wrote it)


It's very nice map but think the calculations are off a bit

Why I say this

Click to display
First off the total is a little off, the total should be the total amounts of move it takes to complete whichever path you take and that means you need to take into account all the sides and double spaces from grab in the treats, not just the direct path without counting those in. That brings the total up quite a bit from 231. When I counted all her dots it was around 273. It's easy to loose count while counting all the little dots. 111 green dots 172 black dots. 172 moves you need to make up if 15 x 5 moves a day = 75 leaves 98 moves to make up.

@Midnight, regardless, it is the best nap we have so far and I see no problem. Also remember the treat moves are not inhibited by time. As you said yourself, it's easy to lose count, but each junction is clearly labeled with a number. If you have questions about her map, you could always PM her as she does have an infrequently used account here under the user Shorah. I know I will personally be using this map.




The white dot is the best as we have said before over the red one. What I was trying to say, as nicely as I could was that her pass total is off it will take more then what she says.

So I can personally debunk this one. Having Won my Greyfell from the Pinata. I won #4 and it is my first Greyfell. Pity I do not have a male, I prefer all my bred for divines come from me.

Re Greyfells

It looks like several duplicates have been given out this round to players that don't have the full set but still received duplicates. The Int Mod asked Admin about it and she posted this.

QUOTE

I have contacted an Admin.

They have told me that Greyfell are actually randomly assigned (though it seems that a lot of us actually had the good luck of getting them in numerical order ~ as one of my fellow Mods got all 12 of hers and they did not follow the numerical sequence). However, as you get more Greyfell - they're supposed to give you one you do not already have.

So (just to make things easy - we'll go back to someone whose gotten them in order) if someone has Greyfell 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 ~ the next one they get should be either 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 (in short, one you still don't have).

However, they did tell me that there does seem to be a small issue in which players who do not yet have all the Greyfell are receiving duplicates (so to use Mithrim as an example. Since they had 11 of the 12 (let's make this easy and say they have numbers 1 to 11) - they should have received Greyfell 12 to complete the set - as opposed to whichever duplicate Greyfell they did get.

The Admins are currently looking into the matter, if I hear more - I'll let people know.

So it does appear to be a glitch this time round. Not sure what they will do if they do find there was a problem though.

On the two accounts that I have only 3 I got number 4 but it was not the female I was expecting.

The other account I have three I have not gotten my fourth yet so will have to wait. Number 4 should have been a female if they followed the correct order.

I'm sorry to change topic, and if this has already been asked, but does anyone know how the draft breeds will be introduced? I couldn't find any info on them for the past few pages. I just wanted to see if there was anything I could do to prepare to win one.

The percherons are supposed to be introduced through the maze. There's been several maps posted in here for the maze, look for one with a path that grabs all the goodies and that'll be your best shot at getting them. I don't believe how the shires are going to be released is known yet, and in fact the shires are not official yet but very likely.

OK I got my last Greyfell on my 4th account and it was number 2 which I already have on that account. This should not have happened according to the Int Mod so there certainly is a major glitch with them. default smiley :s

I got a duplicate also and sent a message - was told they're looking into it. I was PM'd by another player who say she got a dup as well, contacted and they switched her Greyfell to one she didn't have. Nothing has happened on my account yet (this was on Friday)

Anyone that got a duplicate should use contact us.

One of the Mods on the International requested we do that so they can see how widespread this problem is and make corrective actions.

My understanding is that after the piñatas there will be a maze thing where you can get the drafts? Some people have posted the right way to do them? There are 2 drafts right Shire and percherons? When will these maps start?
