Pretty vague description from GGS which is unusual for them.
Are the horse to be bought going to be close to the level or quality of our other horses or not?
If you have only one horse, only one of the above sentences can possibly be correct and the other can only be wrong!!
the new horses you can buy certainly won't surpass your current best horse in terms of attributes, breeding value and breeding effects. At least not at the moment you can purchase them.
They will have a significantly lower breeding value to begin with but can be used to breed new horses that might be able to surpass your existing horses in the long run, after some more training and breeding.
They might also be more specialized than your existing horses, with nice breeding effect combinations that are not as much based on luck as the ones of horses you bred yourself.
All in all horse market horses will enable you to breed faster and focus a lot more on getting the perfect attribute combination.
Cheers,
Steffi
I`ll have one of dem, one of dem & 2 of those please,
make one a spotty one & wrap em all to go!!
Just about ready to start to breed new horses sometime soon so it is nice to see some new attributes for them.
It should entice gold spenders to quicken the breeding process - sounds good anyway.
good luck with the update - hope there is no bugs
basically it seems not only horseshoes but also now after this update golden horseshoes will be only wasted on horses to just get very little prize from horse competition? was hoping we actually can win something else than these crappy tournament prizes from golden horseshoes at least... it seems like an almost pointless circle. (like i guessed from the start anyway) and to make it worse, ppl can buy horses with gold too, which will probably be way superior than normal or golden horseshoe horses even, or in other words normal players wont have any chance to win anything "actually" good from the tournament even anyway then.
so let's list it again:
dollar > island/viking dollar > shells/runestones > seeds > fruits > ship load > horseshoes > golden horseshoes > horses > only these crappy tournament prizes every 2 month?!!
this is soooooo much effort for soooo little outcome honestly... and let me guess Almond and Peach special orchards are prizes of Diamond league probably which only again is attainable only by extreme gold users?
I'd say lol you're simply being rude to Majority of your players GGS.
yes of course it entices gold spenders LOL
and it spoils yet another competition. we should stop calling these events "competitions" actually. How can they best be described ? Maybe "GGS begging for players to buy gold, players wanting to be the best, forget it's only a game, no rules if not those which can and must be broken"
Who is going to look all day long at these random generations? And not quite so random at that, if the best horses are for gold.
This implementation (reader insert inappropriate word for yourself!).
This game has gone to the dogs, oh right yeah! Horses.
It says you can`t buy horses better than you already have, in fact it says "significantly lower level than the player's strongest horse" which is better than I was expecting. At least someone with gold that has never trained a horse can`t just go buy a winner. It just means you can add horses to breed with your own & improve your bloodlines, I could sure use some improvement in mine lol ^^
You too were expecting GGS to tamper with the tournament results then, I guess not just you and me, many others already do !!!
Will those horses have a reduced training costs or will they be as hard to train as newbies.
Thanks for speaking my mind. Couldn't agree more. If that really is the whole circle.. oh well.. not gonna care bits about it.
Yes, they will have reduced training costs!
They will require the same amount of training points as a perfectly bred horse of their breeding value (level).
I'm sorry but this all just seems like a very convoluted and confusing, roundabout way to give big spenders a way to widen the gap while racing for those already slightly meaningless rewards.
Will wait and see of course, as always, but the first impression's negative.
Agree.....
Updates keep happening and adding new elements to the game but no mention of the bugs/issues/glitches or when they will be fixed; its not like they aren't obvious or recorded. Why not fix the issues that are causing the problems? My horse is constantly taking a season break and to fix this I have to keep refreshing my game clearing my caches/flash/browser to get it off/out of his vacation mode. Which is very annoying.
Beside that it sounds OK, the horses to buy will just help to speed up the training/breeding process a bit. I wonder what prices they will have.
Well, then, let's call these "Fund raising events".
1) You can be sleeping and wake up 10 points lower when you went to bed. If you are challenged by another when not logged in and they take away points for losses, you should get points for winning. Don't like how it is one sided. If you win you should get 4 points no matter what
2) I don't like how you cannot "reject" opponents. When you are matched up against someone much better with no hope of winning. I either have to wait to be challenged to lose or challenge them and lose. There should be a "pass" button to pass on horses to race against.
3) 12 "gas" points per race is too much. Make is lower so we can do more races and have more fun
Just my opinion.
Errrrrrm ......... are you suggesting that we should lose points whan challenging and not winning? Cause as I read it it's balanced as it is. Your suggestion sounds one sided. To make it balanced again we would have to lose points when actively challenging and not winning.
Currently, if you initiate a challenge with a horse and win you gain points and if you lose you lose points (no problem with this).
My problem is if you are challenged by another when you are not even logged into the game, you get 0 points for winning, yet you lose points for losing (-1 for silver, -2 for gold, etc). If they are going to take away points from you for challenges by another, they should reward you points if you win. It is one sided because when you are challenged by another you can only LOSE points and never gain no matter how much you win.
In Silver and higher leagues:
You only win points when you challenge and win.
You only lose points when you are challenged and lose.
Meaning: If you challenge and do not win, you DO NOT lose any points.
The bronze is actually one sided as in bronze league you can only win points, but never lose them. One sided in our favour, of course.
true but only breeding lvl is lower.
what i meant by superior horses, is legendary horses for gold, but only maybe common or uncommon horses with golden horseshoes. that is what i mean by:
"ppl can buy horses with gold too, which will probably be way superior than normal or golden horseshoe horses even"
I'm not sure if you have tried much breeding yet, but let me tell you what, even with lvl 50 horses still ppl (including myself too) haven't been able to breed even quality 2 horses. now imagine from tomorrow we can buy quality 2 with golden shoes, but gold players easily buy quality 6 or max with some gold easily. then even if we kill ourselves to train and reach lvl 100 horses(cap) and waste so many horseshoes to breed and breed and breed and fail in improving quality, still our horses will be significantly weaker than gold legendary horses...
and since the competition is player vs player anyway, we'll be constantly in huge disadvantage due to this. which basically ruins the purpose of tournament same as that hot deal did in co-op challenge(ok maybe not as awful as that one, but still pretty close)
but but but... let's not get distracted from the most important matter, this update basically is making golden horseshoes useless too. which completes the cycle and means only prizes we ever gonna get from so much trouble even is *up to gold league* or if super lucky *up to platnium league* prizes.
that means like 400 gold+5 mystery box per 2 month (or +3 token +1 gold license if super lucky) the rest of prizes are almost crap anyway.
and thats assuming the event runs continously every 2 month, so now question is:
is this little prize even worth so much effort honestly?
can't even make 1 gold house lvl 5 in 1 year with this...
why ?
I currently have a lvl 7 stable, with 4 horses in it breeding levels: 72, 47, 42, 27
Here are my market offers:
BL: 29, +4 Endurance, no quality: Cost: 65,698 Golden Horseshoes, 4,445 Gold
BL: 7 , no breeding effects, Uncommon: Cost: 4,187 gold
BL: 18, +2 agility, no quality: Cost: 30,000 GHs, 79 gold
No thanks, I'll pass.
-Y
Edit: After taking a moment to analyze... I understand two of the offers... the first one, lvl 29... would be perfect for breeding my 27 who will cap out at 29. Thus saving me the need to make another 29 from scratch. My highest quality is 2. Thus I understand the 2nd one. Its probably the cheapest breeding quality 2 the game offers (or close to it) making it tempting in that regard. The 3rd one I can see no use for in anyway shape or form. That said. I am still not tempted to make any purchases.
