Proposed changes - looking for feedback

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   Hey guys!

I can't post a long update because I'm sitting in my cubicle here at work and posting from my phone, but I am considering making a couple of changes to both horse consistency and wear and tear.

Overall, people are looking for more consistency from their horses once they get them into form and find their key metics.  They are also looking for longer horse lifecycles.  I am willing to make these changes, but wanted to at least discuss some of the potential drawbacks.

Given the number of breedings we have, I am fearful these changes will cause a glut of grade level horses that last too long.  Since horses all make it to the track and we have no permanent injuries in the game, the wear and tear and consistency levels help keep our population a bit balanced.  Being more "top heavy" may not be a bad thing but we need to take that into consideration as well - it's usually very difficult to unring bells like these.

If you have any opinions on the proposed changes, positive or negative, please let me know directly via the contact admin button or email.  I will weigh the opinions and try to respond publicly within the next 2 weeks.

Thanks for playing!  

--Mike
