Community Poll: Upcoming New Tack & Seasonal Backgrounds
Hello everyone!
Upcoming Tack & Seasonal Backgrounds
We will be launching the western versions of valentines tack in a few weeks. Previously, the english valentines tack was available as bundles in the ingot store and included the saddle, bridle, pad, and a cherry blossom background. We are considering releasing the tack sets in the general store for ingots at a cost per piece instead. This would mean you can buy single pieces to mix and match rather than full sets. We need feedback on which option everyone would prefer.
Would you rather:
Option 1: Valentines tack sets be sold as bundles in the ingot store. Includes 1 saddle, 1 bridle, and 1 pad. This would exclude the cherry blossom background from previous years (see potential adjustment below).
Option 2: Valentines tack sets be sold as individual pieces in the general store.
Note: Valentine's tack will cost ingots as it has a large twin bonus.
We are also considering ingot cost adjustments to seasonal backgrounds such as the upcoming re-release of the cherry blossom background. Currently, seasonal backgrounds cost 100 ingots and had not offered any perks for equipping. This was decided on an old community poll which indicated the majority of players did not want perks for ingot items and wanted them to be strictly aesthetic only. We would like to hear feedback on a few options for backgrounds.
Would you rather:
Option 1: Keep seasonal backgrounds at 100 ingots but add a significant perk.
Option 2: Lower seasonal background to 50 ingots and add a small perk.
Option 3: Keep seasonal backgrounds at 100 ingots and add no perk. Keeps items as-is
Option 4: Lower seasonal backgrounds to 50 ingots and add no perk. Just lower their cost.
Please leave a comment in this post to let us know your vote for the tack and seasonal backgrounds. Also, for those of you who can't afford ingot items we haven't forgotten you! We will have a few bit cost items coming your way. :)
In the Background
Bedouin and I are working in the background to get lots of things adjusted, replanned, and in tip-top shape before we begin pushing large updates. I will be working on manually editing all reported broken horses in the bug box as well as prepping for our valentines update which takes up quite a bit of time. I also am reviewing applications for our focus group and will be reaching out to those who are selected once our first set of group questions are ready to be sent out. Expect an update in the next 2 weeks centering around valentines day and community! We are still having to work around our current real-life situations so everyone's patience is greatly appreciated and we thank you for sticking around as we adjust to our new reality.
Have a wonderful rest of the week everyone!
Cheers,
Bedouin & Curly
Option 2: Valentines tack sets be sold as individual pieces in the general store.
Seperates would be nice for anyone who doesn't want to spend a lot of ingots but still wants a piece; a pink pad for example would look great with current light tan tack!
Option 4: Lower seasonal backgrounds to 50 ingots and add no perk. Just lower their cost.
I prefer backgrounds just for the pretty, and think with the recent cash cut and resulting devaluation of ingots, a price cut here would help.
Super excited to see what is to come! 😊
Option 2: Valentines tack sets be sold as individual pieces in the general store.
As someone who can't afford to just buy ingots, I'd rather have the option to get an individual piece to mix with non-ingot pieces.
Option 4: Lower seasonal backgrounds to 50 ingots and add no perk. Just lower their cost.
I don't know how background perks would work, but I wouldn't want to feel pressured to use one background over another if they gave different boosts, and I'd just prefer backgrounds to be cosmetic-only.
option 4 for backgrounds.
It's annoying and tedious enough trying to equip tack, I don't think we need another thing that you need* to equip to improve breeding chances/showing results etc.
*If backgrounds did give a boost, I know it wouldn't be required to buy and equip them to play the game, but it would be required to get the best possible boost.
If players/site owners think more boosts are needed, I think it'd be better to improve the existing boosts you can get from tack, rather than adding more items.

Option 2: Valentines tack sets
Option 4 for background
Option 2: Valentines tack sets be sold as individual pieces in the general store.
and for the Background i'd prefer it have a boost if it's gonna cost you. 100 ingots isn't alot and if it had signifigant boost i think it would help alot more. So option 1.

For Valentines Tack: Option 1 if there is any discount involved in buying all items at once. If there is no discount for buying a set, Option 2.
For the background: Option 4. I'd prefer backgrounds have no bonus but also be cheaper so more people can have them.

Valentine sets: option 1
Backgrounds: option 4
Option 2: I am also agreeing that sometimes you want just one piece to match with other colored tack.
Option 1, if the background stays the same price, I'd like a boost. But in reality, I think it's more appropriate that it drops to the Option 4. For those that can't purchase, we can obtain ingots in other ways (including me!). So having the purchasable (with ingots) items be a tad more within reach, would be great. Especially since I need to save up for breeding to specific rare horses. Aesthetic is great, but I often forgo look to save up for usable items.
I say first one Option 2: sell the Valentine's individually, leaves options for mixing and matching tack.
Also for backgrounds, I say the option to lower to 50 Ingots and have a small perk. I don't think backgrounds need any big perks, but if we can have a perk we should haha
Although I suppose it also depends what that perk would be
