Thoughts about teams

Hey there!

I promised you a commentary this time, but I have another topic I really want to share my thoughts about, I just have to make way for it!

I have been in Österreichische Schönheit for a month and a half now and being in a team has opened up a new side of Howrse for me. I have been a solitary player all these years and have worked everything out mostly by myself. I have kept a low profile and have actually talked to other players very few times.

In a team, however, communication between players is a must for everything to work out right. But a mixture of people with different views and values and the fact that the majority of Howrse players are female, can also open up dramas.

Ahh, dramas. As soon as I joined the team, I learned and am still learning about players famed for different things, both positive and negative. We also went through a major drama because of one of our ex team member, but these seem to be an every day business in teams.

The rivalry between teams is actually greater than I thought. Teams incorporate and split all the time. This either creates bigger alliances or breaks them. Competition for the no.1 spot in each individual breed and overall is tough.

I have learned to BLUP Haflingers and do it fast. I don't have the advantages of a VIP account, my blupping record is 10 minutes. I am now using this method on my own Haffies, it boosts BLUPs faster.

Also, any leftovers from blupping and breeding stay with me, so I have gathered a lot of Haflinger skillers. I am planning to sell some of them once the GP release allows me to. If you are interested in any of them, drop a mail! I will then reserve it for you once the GP release gets that high. But please be patient, this may take a long time.

I  never understood the importance of AP farms, but now I have started to build one of mine. Over the years I have collected a huge amount of aging points and right now I have no worries about it running out, but AP farms take time to build and I have to think ahead already.

This month and a half have been eventful and exciting. I have some really nice teammates and we have managed to snatch two stars and are now striving higher! I'll update you should something groundbreaking happen :)

I started playing Horse Adventures: Tale of Etria on my phone and within the first day I got the first divine: Etrian. You can see her at All others---> Divine and Wild

I collected enough passes and bought a pegasus account! I immediately made more breeding farms and now my horses are far better organised. Also, I currently have a Philotes' stroke ufo available on my page. So head over to my user page and see them all yourself! :)

And what is a post without some eye candy! Check out these new coats!

Goals

And as I promised, I am back with some more! Plants event has just ended and it's the perfect time to make a Yay or Nay! :3

In today's Yay or Nay...

The Plants Event

Pros

• Simple: just plant a seed and water the plant.
• You'll get rewards once the plant has fully grown.
• Also, when you manage to harvest the carnivorous plant, you'll get a Divine!
• To earn more seeds, water and other perks, you can complete quests that are fairly easy.

Cons

• Seeds with better rewards are harder to get.
• The carnivorous plant grows really slowly - a small chance to get the Divine when you are not a pass buyer.

The verdict
This event is very simple and you don't need to work hard on the quests. Unless you are determined to get the Divine, this game gets you small rewards fairly easily. This is a Win.

I've made myself a goal to not waste my passes anymore and save them for a Pegasus account, a half year one. I'd really love to have more stables, because right now, it is quite cramped here and there are multiple breeds in one farm already. Would like to distinguish them more. Also, the peg accont has many more perks and I'd love have them :3

I bought a Marwari colt and I can't even remember why I did it. Possibly to complete a quest for an event. Anyways, he is a skiller and I am planning to start Marwari breeding with him as soon as I get the possibility to have more stables.

All is said for now and I hope ya'll be back for the next post!
