New features

Thank goodness for the Dragons update! What a difference to care for them - taken all the monotonous clicking and waiting out of it. 5 stars from me!!!
Now if only Howrse can do something to improve the nordic horses and the Ascent of Olympus!

I'd be really grateful if the companions in the personal Black Market items list could be re-sorted, perhaps alphabetically or group wise, anything logical but what we've got now. When looking for completing a collection or the best to add for a skiller or divine I don't care how many of each I own but want to find fast which one I need/want .

Thx

I'm not super thrilled about the changes to the Ascent as I enjoy playing it and accumulating fragments. I've been too busy to spend passes on it recently, but if I were to do so, this is where I would use them. Maybe instead it would have been a better idea to set a cap on the number of times you can win a particular divine in each rotation (like how you can only get the Greek Gods once).

I also wish we could at least collect the daily log in Obols - without this we are losing 630 passes worth of Obols (not to mention the Drachmas).

I'm not too keen on the Ephemerals idea - I don't have much time to BLUP a lot of horses each day - but I can't really form an opinion on it until I've played it for a bit.

Ascent is way too difficult to play now

Ascent is way too hard to play now - I haven't even been able to make it past the first stage! It was hard enough before. At least I'll save a ton of money since it is not worth playing it anymore...

Was de-linking affixes in breeding farm view an intended change? Is it possible for it to be reverted?

It was intended and is part of the new interface overhaul, which will be implemented step by step during the next months.

Thanks for the clarification

Can I put in a request for the text contrast to be improved while we wait for the other changes? After working some horses, I could become resigned to the idea of using extra clicks/time/bandwidth from opening individual horse pages to access the affix, but I'm finding the grey difficult to read easily. As I rely on affixes for additional organisational purposes within breeding farms, being unable to easily spot horses under a certain affix by just quickly reading down the breeding farm is affecting my gameplay more than I'd thought it would.

Am I reading the figure right on my Ascent profile? It says 5% of players... Is that 5% actually getting to the end? That seems shockingly low!! Personally I've played twice so far and ended up winning both times but maybe the skew was too much if no one else is!!?

Ascent was tricky before so not sure why you felt the need to make it even more difficult. It is way too hard now. Very frustrating to have three fully skilled purple cards but no energy boosters available round after round.
