6 days ago standing at 881 points now 889
Wow... is really great fun
very frustrating....
Even then, the effects are negligible because I have a high level horse (135) and level 5 in the new scheme. I routinely lose all or virtually all my matches against horses up to forty levels lower in the old scheme and level 1 in the new.
What is the point of putting kit on if you still stand no more than a random and crappy chance of winning?
GG Needs to either explain the rules to everyone about how this kit affects your chances to win, and show it, or remove them. Because right now they look to be totally unfair, and have ruined the game.
The last week, I have lost around 30points every night and I can spend most day trying to win it back. That doesn't work (!)- and with the time left of the tourney I don't believe Ill end in plantin as I'm used to when finished.- This morning I had lost 32 points and is well back in Gold.
I have better horses, than the ones you sell for thousands of gold - so you don't tempt me to buy - why would I, if the horses can't win?
Maybe the balancing is better for higher levels - don't know - but this is probably my last season, if changes are not made - very frustrating spending all this time, for absolutely no gain!
SKN is a small server and I race the same players over and over - and lose ofcourse, since most the horses here has much higher levels and attributes.
I still believe that there needs to be some kind of balancing here!!
after each race i look at the finis line and there is always 20 at 40 sec. different
so there is no point to uses a attribute with f.e. -2.5 seconds
i'm looking at racing here YMMV.
Boots will pick one of these stats for one obstacle and add 7 to it (for my level). Saddles will only help at one type of obstacle by reducing your times either in balking or rushing behavior (but not both) - this has nothing to do with the other horse's stats. Leg protectors will increase your jumping or dressage breeding factor to racing + 28. Nothing to do with other horse stats. Saddle cloths will increase your stats by 40 for agility or 10 for endurance. Nothing to do with other horse. Hats are next to useless as they only speed up the rush to the first obstacle.
From what I can tell, the chance of your horse rushing, balking (slowing down) or going normally is given a percentage chance.Each obstacle you roll a dice and it decides on those percentages how long you take and how long the other horse takes. From watching this in the results this you will quickly see that the other horse has equipment that benefits it at all obstacles were as yours only benefits you at 1 type. This is why everybody is losing all the time. I'm not sure after checking all this what effect using the saddle cloths is because i have never bothered with them. If they turn out to be a magic bullet I'll let you know.
Could you also ask, if we could get an insight in, what the plan with the game was - did you suspect it would be fun to play, if we all kept losing?
That's a strange strategy...
Please explain the purpose of the game and some tips now you're at it..
Could we also please get an 'opt out' of the event ?
-didah
As with apparently everyone else, it doesn't look like I will get my normal rank at the end. (In my case, platinum.)
I quit bothering to fill the boat and use the greenhouse, who needs horseshoes any more?

Sigh
Maybe it will all work out?
I want to let you all know that all your concerns are being heard and are reaching the right ears at GGS.
Please keep the constructive criticism coming. We appreciate it and need it.
I was just pondering the size and depth of the upgrades we get in our free game. In my humble opinion the Fishing Region or the Horse ranch could probably be sold as stand alone games. You get a manual telling you how to play, play them and sooner or later you come to the end. Our game never ends. This is a strategy game and a lot of us enjoy figuring out how the new upgrades work and spreading this knowledge thru our coops then, the Big Farm World as a whole thru our Forum. We can and do progress thru the game without having to ever buy gold and we get gold for free in the game, (as Manuel in Faulty Towers says: ev v v v eeennnt u a lly) eventually
Yes it is slower and a bit harder these days but splashing out on Gold is a choice to speed things up, not a necessity to progress in the game.
Thank you all for the kind welcomes. I am a bit overwhelmed at the moment. I'm used to hiding so I'm going back to figure these Horses out, do some fishing and some relaxing harvests.
Talk to you soon

AND the time consumed just to equip for each race? It's not encouraging since I'm just losing every race anyways. I might win 1 or 2 races of 12. With a Dream World, Coop Challenge event, Candy Farm, Fairy Tale event, deep sea fishing and who knows what else, this new horse competition set-up is just way too complicated, unsatisfying and not enjoyable in any way. PLEASE make it simplified if you want to try salvaging it but the way it is right now, it does not bring any of us joy.

As it is, there is no incentive to kit your horse, and the dye requirements for saddle-cloths are ridiculously high. Eight dye for one cloth? When you need up to 17 to race? I am only able to make about 24 dye on a good day. So i can make an earth shattering 3. And they are used up per obstacle, not per race, so you won't even get to finish a race with saddle-cloth advantage.
Also it would be helpful to people that have lost a lot of expensive kit in a race if you could put back the result that shows how likely it was that you would win the race. Finding out you had a 30% or 78% probability would alter your tactics or stop you taking on that competition altogether.
All we get now is 'fail', 'fail' fail'. Granted you can look at the times, but frequently the times I get against a horse of vastly lower level, even with full kit on lead me to believe that I was never in with a chance, coming in 20 or 30 seconds behind the winner.
I am running out of golden horse shoes. This has never happened before.
The golden horse shoes are needed to buy new horses and upgrading.
I will not be racing a horse when the next horse tournament starts.
There is no point to participating in something that has no benefit to my farms.
you say we get gold in the game for free which is true, but for Me once in a blue moon for login in I might get 30 gold coins, the only way I was ever able to start getting a decent amount of gold in the ( Years) of playing this game was from the horse racing if I was able to get to the gold section of the races , but now I can not even do that, and I refuse to buy gold for this game, and We have to make the items per every single run in each and every race? talk bout overkill and taking forever just to do the races now, I am not happy bout this new update at all, nope, and if I wanted to get a Bachelor's degree in horse racing I would of went to school for it in the real world , instead of having it pushed at me in a game, I play My game to have fun and this is not fun in my opinion.
