Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?

[red_uni387]

Thank you, Silv!

[Aralie]

Alrighty, thanks for the info ^_^

[Silvanon]

The Home area of the store is now up for gold purchases, with one new home option added.  I've also added a few simple background options for your horses, just to have a little variety.

[Rosewood]

I accidentally sold my Fleabitten Gray foal.... XD Well, that just means im going to have to try for another one. ^_^

[Kadana Sorano]

The new backgrounds look nice Silv, and I love the new home, I just had to get it lol  I may get the backgrounds later on, but right now I'm trying to save up for when tack is released rofl Trying.. I already caved and bought the store stally, and now the new Home.. *shakes head*  I fail at saving

[Ravvana]

I don't know why, but the game is incredibly slow tonight. Each page takes around 30-40 seconds to load, and when this load time is for every one of my (two pages of) friends, it gets annoying. My internet is working up to speed on all other websites and games, so it seems to be a LH problem.

[Kadana Sorano]

Just want to brag on my Dameer a bit.  She received a red ribbon with a score of 90 in ground manners.  And now she just received a blue ribbon with a score of.. 100! in Lungeing/Round penning. 

Also, Silv, are we allowed to start our own "sales" threads on LH forums, or would you like a single thread for us all to post sales to? 

[Scullisto]

had to do a bit o' braggin myself....here's why...


I love my Blaque Shadow!

[Silvanon]

Kadana - you're welcome to make your own thread.

[red_uni387]

I sold a pregnant mare and it's still showing her breeding on my page ^^'

[Solistia]

Out of curiosity with just a few of us playing, do you see bandwidth usage being okay? Or if a bunch of people started playing might is lag a bit (or need a bandwidth upgrade)?

[Pinkshadow]

i love this game, but i think there lack a way to earn money (:
- orelse im just not seeing it (:

[FCFC]

Hmm, it would be lovely in the future to have other places to visit.
I seem to have gotten into the routine of - Feed Horses, Train, See if Tack is in store, Leave.

Perhaps a "Paddock", where you might find an apple, which will feed a horse, or you could stumble upon some gold, maybe even EXP?

And other items that could be implemented, like feed, or a salt lick, a ball etc to affect the horses's stats while your away? :3

But they're just little thoughts. ^u^
I'm really looking forward to other breeds, and the riding/driving interaction. <3

[Solistia]

@Pink, there is a very easy way to rack up money actually. Breeding.
It goes like this: Have at least 1 female and 1 male horse (if no male, find a cheap 200gold stud and breed until you get your own male). Breed every day. Use one of your slots as the "revolving door". After a horse has been groomed, stall mucked, etc, Sell it for 800. Then grow the new foal into that slot and collect gold+xp. If you have multiple foals, grow foal, collect gold/xp, then sell and grow the others in the same manner.

For this technique, you should have only 1 male and the rest female for the best rate of earning money.

This however causes loads of inbreeding, but it's very effective at earning money.

My plan is to rack up gold now so I can be picky later on when more breeds are introduced and sell off my inbred spawn |D <3

[Silvanon]

I sold a pregnant mare and it's still showing her breeding on my page ^^'

Thanks for reporting, red.  You're not supposed to be able to sell pregnant mares for just that reason.  Was that to the system or another player?

[Daimas]

I have noticed this for a while, thinking it was just me being in a hurry. but once in a while one of the stats I clicked will turn blue, then when i check it later it shows as never clicked.

[red_uni387]

It was to the system. Sorry ^^' Forgot she was pregnant and was like "Hey I got enough for the flaxen girl!" >__>

[Silvanon]

Red - ok, thanks for the report.  Turns out I'd coded to stop you selling to other people when there's a breeding pending, but had forgot to add it to the sell to system code.  That should be fixed now.  In the meantime, for your foal, I think it'll let you birth the foal, but if not then let me know the names of the parents for the breeding in question and I'll take care of it manually.

[red_uni387]

It still shows "Oops, that's not your mare!" The parents are Palette (just chestnut; I also named my new girl Palette but she's got flaxen) and Black Gold

[Kadana Sorano]

Daimas it does that to me as well, and I do think it is clicking too fast.  I have taken now to 1. click through all stats on all horses. 2. start over at first horse and click each horse.  then if I see any bars that didn't "take" I can re-click them.

Usually it isn't a problem, but sometimes I do get lag and the text saying how much gold and xp I got for clicking a bar doesn't show before I have clicked the next bar.  I "think" this is when I/We get this happening.

ow i never thought of that, cool (:

well I made sure to go slowly today because I just bought my store stallion, and it did it to 4 of my horses and It wasnt clicking too fast, and it wasnt lag.. so*shrugs*

[YourLoveOnly]

-nods- Same thing here, even if it sometimes says (for example) you watered your horse, when I make my second round that bar is still red. So I don't think it's lag either, just a bug that sometimes doesn't make it register as clicked. I have to go to most of my horses 3 times to have all the bars filled, it honestly is starting to get a bit annoying with the amount I have

[Daimas]

trying to breed my stallions to my own mares is bringing up the options menu instead of the breeding menu
the breeding menu works with Ethendil though

[TheLeet]

I've not noticed having to re-fill the bars straight away but then I don't usually go back to check. I noticed that if I click a bar too quickly after the last one, it says "your horse doesn't need that right now" so I try to go slowly and give it time to load the text at the bottom after every bar.

[Silvanon]

The breeding menu is on the options page for your own stallions, you just need to scroll down to the bottom of it.

It still shows "Oops, that's not your mare!" The parents are Palette (just chestnut; I also named my new girl Palette but she's got flaxen) and Black Gold

I believe I've gotten that breeding removed for you now, red.


As for the red bars, you do indeed need to wait for the text to show or the click didn't really go through.

[Silvanon]

There is now an option near the bottom of the horse Options page that lets you enter an order number for that horse, so you can put them in the order you like.

[red_uni387]

Thank you Silv

[Silvanon]

Gypsy Vanners are now available in the game store.    Also, everything that has a FBC price, you should now be able to actually buy it with FBC (no more "coming soon" notes).

[red_uni387]

Eeeee roan!! Thanks Silv!!

Does breeding work the same way; grades for 3 generations then a chance at a purebred?

[Silvanon]

Yes, it works the same way with grade-to-pure breedings.

Oh, and while I'm thinking about it - for Little Horses (and PI Quinsta) there's no lethal white coded in, so it's fine to breed white/white & overo/overo.

[Ravvana]

Okay, now I need to decide which of my Arabs to sell in favor of Gypsies XD Because I need the red roan mare.

[Scullisto]

Cant buy FB credits...I neeeeeeeed that vanner stallion......

[Wildfilly94]

I got the Yellow dun saying.over girl :3 And now I can't even afford to breed her. xD

[YourLoveOnly]

Do we have to breed /all/ genes into Arabs? @_@ Or will the genes that Arabs originally had, like dun and overo, still be added to the store?

[Ravvana]

I bought the red roan and dun overo mares I need more stalls XD;

edit: Is there a way to give us more options for earning FB credits? I honestly don't know if that's something you can control, but most of the "free" offers on LH involve signing up for a paid service. Other games have things like surveys, videos, etc. I already watched the few videos for LH so now I'm out of ways to earn credits without getting a subscription to something or other.

[Ravvana]

I also just realized that my Gypsy ladies look really tiny. I know they're meant to be smaller than on Secundi, but my FB Arab mares are bigger than my FB Gypsy mares which is odd to me XD

[red_uni387]

How do you earn credits without buying them? o___o I can't find any offers or anything, except for one thing that would involve giving them a credit card number >__>

[Ravvana]

In the teeny tiny box at the bottom right of the LH window -- just a few watch-a-video offers for about 2 credit each. The rest require signing up for stuff.

[red_uni387]

Thanks Rav!

[red_uni387]

Is anyone interested in roan arabs? I accidently bred my vanner girl to an arab before checking if there were vanner studs and ended up with a flaxen roan grade I was planning on just selling him, but if there is interest then I will continue the project.

[Kadana Sorano]

Red, I might be, depending on color/availability in my stalls when you get there.

Rav, the movies you watch change out, you "should" get atleast one new one a week if it goes as other games I play.  Sometimes more, sometimes less, but on average atleast one a week.  MY problem is, so often those movies load to a black screen for me, so I miss the weeks credit.  But I have a lot of other games and can get credits form surveys and such through them, so it doesn't bug me much.

You know you can do surveys via other games, get credits, then spend them on LH?  You don;t have to spend them on the game you acquired them through.

Also, if you guys haven't heard yet, 4Loot is good for earning coins.  It's kinda slow though, as you have to earn so many 4Loot coins, then exchange these for FB credits.  But I have been using them for a while, and can vouch for them, they do work and you get your FB credits within 24 hours of turning in your 4Loot coins.  And you aren't required to purchase anything, though I think you can..

[Silvanon]

Unfortunately I'm not able to control what's offered in that little box, it's something Facebook set up with a third party and they control the offerings.

[Scullisto]

I got a Red Dun Frame Overo Gypsy colt born today! Im so happy!!!

[BabyKittenCandy]

Trying to purchase in the shop with FB Credits (well, paypal, since i have no credits!) and it keeps telling me there is a problem and the transaction hasnt worked. Not sure if its a fb glitch or what, but wanted to let you know. Never had any problem purchasing stalls etc, so..

And Eeee!!! Vanners! Now Im super happy!

[Scullisto]

Im having the same problem with buying FB credits.

BKC & Scullisto, could you tell me what item/horse you were trying to buy?  Thanks!

Vanner Stallion

[Scullisto]

vanner stallion, but it seems that if I try to buy ANY vanner then same message appears.

[Solistia]

Looks like there's a layering issue on one of the male Grade's genes


A lot of bleeding from this guy.
