My horse is 135.
The first week I used the tack on my horses and won maybe 5%
After week one I stopped using any tack and got the following results.
Anything above my level won 0/34.- 0%
Level 100 to 135 won 22/182-8%
Less than 100 won 68/114.- 77%
Won one contest in the last 2 days. not one horse was above level 125 Going backwards.
The difference now is, when challenged, I win more than half which is better.
Used to win 1 in 10 before.
Not burning time making gear and using mathematical algorithms to figure best gear for each race. I used the horse tourney as relaxation. But the new system is saving my money since I stopped buying gold for event farm. Spent my last 35k on the farm that just ended.
Glad some like the more time intensive tournament and the trees everywhere.
I didn't know that I was losing fewer ribbons when challenged. That's good news.
I HATE losing about 95% of the races I run!!! But my percentages seem to be about the same as yours -- Never win against a same or higher level horse. It seems that a horse needs to be about 10 to 12 Levels lower than my horse for me to stand any chance of winning. But now there's MANY fewer times I'm facing horses of lower level.
I sure hope BF changes this back towards what it was before because I don't like playing a game I'm guaranteed to lose. I don't mind losing the GML for a prize as much as I hate being beat to death to get anywhere in the game.
My horse is a level 115 with 6 breeding effects, with a minimum of +15 and a total of 50 visits to coop.
How do a lose against a level 95 with no attributes at all. Bye bye horse racing for me.
Absolute rubbish!
Such a shame the horse farm has been completely ruined. It used to be a relaxed farm, easy to understand, quite rewarding and tied in with the other farms well. No fun in losing all the time and the whole balance of the game has been lost. What's the point of training horses, doing the temporary farms and completing shipping orders now ?
Now I win 1 or 2 in every 10 against 'lower' horses and never seem to win against higher horses. Can't be bothered to even try and understand what all of these new things do, a few attempts at equipping the horse suggests to be that they do nothing - just more mouse clicks to lose again. Credit to those trying to understand it though.
Can't see GGS back-tracking and removing all this rubbish. At best they'll modify it so we win more. It'll still be rubbish though.
but yes you are correct, People lose much less now when they are challenged
There seems to have lots of subtleties with the whole new permanent farm!
A tendency observed, making equipment becomes a bit easier, when all stumps are developed into tree's
it seems to have been launched a bit more toward end game ( kinda oriented ) , ( personal belief )
:-)
When we challenge others and win (challenger), we always get 4 challenge points and hundreds of golden horseshoes, no matter what league we are in. When we lose, we get no challenge points and a few golden horseshoes, but we also have nothing to lose. At the same time, a person is getting challenged (defender). If they win, they only gain a few golden horseshoes and no challenge points. If they lose, I think they still gain one golden horseshoe, but they lose a maximum of 4 challenge points. Correct me if I'm wrong on this, I have no access to the challenge due to my level.
We can see that, when the challenger wins in gold league or below, there is a net increase of total challenge points (ie. the total challenge points of the two players involved). However, when the challenger wins in platinum or diamond league, the challenge points are in equilibrium. When the defender wins, the challenge points are always in equilibrium. Therefore, the more the challenger wins, the more the total challenge points will be increased.
The gold rewards only exist in gold league or above, which requires a few hundred challenge points (I forgot the exact amount). When the challenger wins less, less challenge points will be gained by players, and therefore less players can get into the higher leagues. This results in less rewards are given out, including those containing gold. Since horse tournament runs constantly, it can be treated as a constant income of gold, or the gold earning increases linearly with respect to time.
Therefore, unless there are more rewards (ie. the horse crest can be used to exchange tokens or other items), and considering how GGS takes away the earning of gold in varies places of the game, it is highly likely that this change is introduced to decrease our earning of gold.
PS: Sorry for seemingly writing an essay
Thanks much, I won't worry about the racing then. (I tried a few times and have little luck breeding horses.)
Thanks again, WillyBigFoot !
