Not that it matters now, but I think you were mistaken in believing that it was better to breed an all-round horse.
My early analysis led me to the conclusion that way more than half the time I was challenged in show-jumping (I assumed that this was because that was the default and most people didn't bother to change to either of the others) By breeding a specialist show-jumper I could expect to win most of my challenges (7 out of 8 usually) and also win more than half the time when challenged. Once I mastered the Meadow I created a specialist race horse (which was also fair at dressage). I am now stuck trying to create one all-rounder from them but, hey-ho, that's how things go sometimes.
It now makes sense why they have been making getting gold mine licenses harder to get.
They want you to use the mine for the smelter, not for making gold.
You have to the buy gold so that they can make more money. LOL.
Just my opinion.
First of all, the first update with the new horse farm was simply amazing. The best update ever made by GGS in years. Nothing to comment against. All excellent and well done. A new exiting and much fair competitional system.
But the happy last little, because now GGS, came with a second update that brought a lot of mess.
First mess: Apparently, our work of years - the horse quality has gone....this is baddddd, but fortunately, looks like it;s only a bug and hopely, they will fix ASAP.
I'm saying this because a collegue of mine, made a "love" in the horse stable with a known quality 5 horse (now with no sign) and generated a +7 breeding effect resistance (Q5 can generate +7 or +8 agility, power or resistance) which leads me to the conclusion that tha quality is there..only a display bug exists
Second mess: The new competitor level and competitor experience points. Man, the idea it's ok, but the manner in which was implemented is bad. Why?
Because when somebody challenge you, you gain points...you need 90 points to get to the next level and have in defence better equipment. BUTTTTT the problem is that when you send you horse in the meadow, when you make a succesful love there, and your horse get out of the meadow, ALL YOUR PROGRESS IS RESET.
So, if before sendind the horse to the meadow you have for example 17/90 progress, when the horse comes out of the meadow your progress is again 0/90
This means that any improvement of your horse is blocked...because if you do your improvement, your progress is gonne! This is not fair....you should correct this thing and keep our progress.
Third mess: To answer to Gavinfarms and all of you. The metals for the Smelter comes from the MINE.
FROM our Gold Mine!
This is so stupid man! How do you imagine, that we will not use our gold mine licenses any more and extract these metals? For what? to produce better equipment for horses like more efficient helmets that gives +3 fuel instead of +1 fuel that normal ones give? Is simply STUPID.
It;s much easy to put the gold license in the mine, extract the gold and buy with the gold, the fuel, instead of not extract the gold, make all this twist process for very small bennefit and lose the gold for not using full time the licenses.
Fourth mess: We are no longer allowed to select in defence, what equipment to use...it's only selected by default and that's it.
I stongly hope that you will correct all these elements and bring back the satisfaction that first time we had when you implemented the first update.
Thanks...and if you have more questions, I will try to answer to you!
Been getting into the platinum level for the last 3 years and never missed a tournament but this is becoming a chore and like a tedious job. They for some reason took the one zone that was simple and relaxing and madeit an unpleasant experience.
Was BF sold and the devs replaced?
Fourth mess: We are no longer allowed to select in defence, what equipment to use...it's only selected by default and that's it.
while it is true we cannot select like we did before, you can change what shows as default for each discipline by using the green scroll buttons to change what advantages can be gained etc. you can do this for the 3 pieces of equipment.
You just don't understand yet the new mechanic.
If you read carrefuly the information, and analyze step by step the changes in numbers once you improve your horse, you can observe, that the level is improving the time, the horse is spending on passing an obstacle.
For example: A horse level 40 has: 26.3 seconds at the start, 14.8 seconds per obstacle in slow behaviour or hesitating; 10 seconds per obstacle in normal behavior and 7.6 seconds per obstacle in fast behavior.
While
A horse level 200 has: 26.3 seconds at the start, 12.1 seconds per obstacle in slow behaviour or hesitating; 10 seconds per obstacle in normal behavior and 5 seconds per obstacle in fast behavior.
As you cand see, there is a difference of around 2.6 seconds per obstacle, no matter if the horse runs slow or fast. 2.6 second * 30 obstacles for example , in a race, gives you a 78 seconds difference, which is huge!
Now, the breeding effect influence the % chances of the horse on passing the obstacles in the fast mode
A horse with no breeding effects (you can make the test buying a level 0 horse and simulate a challenge with him), will have an equal chances for slow and fast behavior of 36% each, wile 28% is a constant for normal behaviour.
If you add some breeding effects (make the test by buying a horse from the market, with at least 1 breeding effect) you will see a CHANGE in the 36% 28% 36% percents that has a horse with no breeding effects.
you might see something like 34% 28% and 38% where 38% is the probability for fast behaviour.
You add more breeding effects, you may observe an increase over 40% for fast behaviour.
The higher the % are for fast behavior, more chances are that your horse will achieve lower times.
For example if you have 12 second sfor slow behavior and 5 seconds for fast bevaviour, at level 200
you gain 7 seconds per obstacle if your horse has fast behaviour instead of slow behaviour
Let/s make a math:
A horse with 40% chances of fast behaviour vs a horse with 50% chances for fast beheviour.
For the sake of simplicity, let;s asume that you have a 20 obstacles race
40% chances, means 8 obstacles from 20 will be passed with fast behaviour
While
50% chances, means 10 obstacles from 20 will be passed with fast behaviour
The result? you gain 7 seconds per obstacle (12-5) * with 2 obstacles = 14 seconds gain
So, even if you have a level 160 horse competing against a level 200 horse, if you have good breeding effect
you might have a chance to beat the 200 level horse if your chances are better then in his case.
Because you at level 160 will have a 5.5 seconds on fast behaviour and 12.6 in slow behaviour
You can lose 0.5 *20 obstacles = 10 seconds vs the 200 level horse
but you can achieve a 14 seconds advantage by having higher % on fast behaviuor as I stated before.
Now, I hope that it is very clear, how things are happening and that now ggs, gave us a very logical and fair system.
The only problems are the ones I showed in the above post!
Cheers and a good day to all of you
Correct
The higher the % of those 3 boxes, The better will be your chances to win , To simplify it
Try to find which of your horse , coupled with which competition , provides the highest number there
That should be the basic step!
it looks like we need an open slot for the construction and upgrade here for the horse ranch of its own' so other main construction slot will not be engaged
I have no chance in h*** to beat those horses - what's the idea about the balancing - or did you balance at all?
I know SKN is a small server - but I also do know we're more than 50 players below lev. 130 horses.
-didah
I'm sure I could figure out what how I'm meant to play the new horse stuff but I really can't be bothered, just isn't fun. Things seem to be filling up too quickly and whatever I do I am simply loosing more in competitions than before the update.
So, if I don't partake in the horse ranch, which has been ruined, I don't need horseshoes. No horseshoes means no great point in doing the temporary farms and filling the boat.
Not much left really.
Since I didn't see the breeding quality for every horse in the stable after the update, how can I complete this task?
