Old models- a ramble

I think all old models should be removed from the game altogether. Even the ones we’ve bought already, they should be either deleted and all the players that owned them would get the money(horse’s price+training maybe) back, or they should just update the model you have into a new one most similar to it so that all the stats/levels/names remain.

I personally don’t really like seeing old models run around and I don’t like riding them, either (I’m currently training my Andalusian).

So every time SSO updates a breed, players will have some time to ‘say goodbye’ to the old models and then they’ll be updated after new models are added.

This would be very difficult(obviously) but I mean, real talk? It would help the game so much. The overall look of the game would improve, even if some players would complain.

I agree with @acessopony, I feel like there'd be too much community uproar if suddenly all the old models were changed into new ones.

Personally, I'd like either a more balanced selling system (perhaps half the price in SC the horse costs?) or a way to pay to change the horse into it's newer model counterpart.

For SSO, it'd be much more beneficial to them and the players to simply make it easier to get rid of old models you don't want, whether that means paying to upgrade/making it a more balanced ratio to sell.

Aideen’s light

Lowkey really hate this lmao. She’s gold because her statue is gold and I don’t want to give her a skin color since it’s widely believed our character is Aideen and I can’t really decide what you look like.

I've kinda been avoiding Tumblr because I haven't been able to get on and I wanted to avoid spoilers, but has anyone had problems with the launcher? I use a Mac and every time the launcher runs smoothly, then I hit "Play" and it closes like it usually does, but the game doesn't come up in it's place? It just quits the launcher.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the launcher, and everything else on my computer works so I don't know if it's the computer or the actual launcher?

Last year we got running pets, this year we got flying pets...

Does this mean we have to wait another year for bigger-than-your-saddlebag pets

good way to start my morning, star stable replying to me with a dragged out all caps word

I got inspired by South Hoof Ranch c:

Getting somewhere!

[wonderaideen]

Ohhh, pretty. Can't wait to see where you take it!

[wonderaideen]

I tried actually speaking in game for the first time in a while and??? What even?? The filter got so much worse?????

Am I going crazy or is SSO's seventh birthday coming up? It's early October right?

[sabrina-diamondstar]

SSO has a poll going rn (you can find links to it on their YouTube and Instagram) about the rescue ranch and you best believe I said the rain was amazing because I’ve wanted weather in the game for the longest time

hey friends! so i personally believe we should be able to sell our horses for star coins for various reasons. if you believe that too then copy the message below and send it to sso through whatever method you see fit! it is personalized a little bit so change it as you see fit. i sent it through the contact thing on their website. thanks for helping out guys!! if you want you can reblog so we can reach a wider audience!

here’s the message: 

Hello! I hope you all are doing well. Please read the entirety of my message and hear what I have to say. I’m writing to suggest the possibility of selling horses for Star Coins instead of Jorvik Shillings. Not necessarily for the full original price (that would be nice) but at least a portion of the original price. I don’t see why we aren’t able to in the first place. It’s a fair system that should’ve been implemented long ago. Here are some reasons for why a player should be able to resell their horses for Star Coins: 

- Sometimes after a year or so of buying a horse you end up not liking it as much. - You get a horse from the first three colors that are released and decide you’d rather have a different one when the next three colors are released. The only problem with that is that you don’t have enough Star Coins.

Of course, there may be economic issues that the Star Stable Team takes into consideration. If we can sell our horses for Star Coins, then what’s the point of buying more? Here is why I don’t think that’s an issue: - Usually players will only have one or two horses that they don’t like. Players aren’t going to buy horses and resell them when they get bored of them. Even though the horses are made of pixels, players get attached to them. I can’t even imagine selling my Quarter Horse or my Lusitano. - I believe the game is popular enough that it can survive if this system is implemented into the game. There are so many people playing Star Stable. Not to mention there are so many players starting out who will want to purchase Star Coins so they can buy that pretty Trakehner in Silverglade Manor or the cute Connemara in Dundull.

Nonetheless, I really, really hope this is something the team takes into consideration! Thank you so much for all you do and thank you for your time!

yes oh my god! the 2500 js thing was implemented when we could FIRST buy horses for ~200-400 sc and it's so! outdated! especially since so many players don't want their old models now new models are coming out of horse breeds. of course, there's a risk of losing money because people can get more SC, but I'd rather spend a smaller amount of money slightly more often to get a horse if I could sell one I didn't want anymore to boost my SC balance up a bit, ya know?

@clarasweetstorm was easier to just make a video :) I double-click to open it.

Oh, I feel silly now aha. Thanks for helping me out tho!

Now that SSO is focusing on updating the mechanics of the game, can we please please talk about seeing your horse's page without them being out in the stable.

We had it way back when we had Horse Island, but now we don't (probably because when we had HI you had to pay to send your horse away, so SSO didn't want us to have to pay to get gear back, but I can't remember if you could take the gear off horses in HI. I swear you could if they were in your stable, though)

Its just a huge bother if you're missing gear that's on a horse, because you can only see bridles on their icon, and only sometimes you can see the saddle. Nevermind blankets, leg wraps, bows, pets, saddlebags etc. It'd just be nice if we could maybe click once on a horse's icon or something and have their page pop up, to easily see and/or grab what they have equipped.

ok.. but whenre we going to get a “hot” woman character in the main quest that flirts w the MC

[wonderaideen]

even if we could just have some dialogue options like w/ the lasagna that could (I can't think of anything right now) act as some sort of choice in how you'd think your character would respond to his flirtations.. just so you wouldn't have to play along with the player game he's got going

and yeah, I think it rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.. personally for me it was more of a "he sees humans, and MC in particular, as cute little dumb things" than "abusive/creepy flirter" but that's just how I saw it, nonetheless however you see it you have to admit it was a little.. unnerving to anyone who doesn't ship their character with him

[laurbyboom]

if you dont reblog this youre straight

[daydreamerofyesterday]

Not on my fucking watch buddy

[horseandmineralhoarder-deactiva]

In terms of emotional involvement (even just potential emotional involvement if you, like me, are unaffected by the Thirst), the last story quests have been so good! I could easily imagine how the dialogue would’ve been said, how much emotion, how certain things would’ve played out like riding close to Ydris and just grabbing onto him while the clock drives him mad until he can’t even hold the magic of the Shadow Seekers anymore, how broken he would’ve sounded begging you to stop, how frightened and desperately Justin would’ve been calling out to Tan while she stands in front of Loretta, oblivious to everything, and whispers “You are beautiful”, how much emotion would’ve been in that one “You’re wrong”, or how weak it would’ve sounded, how Ydris would’ve gently cupped your face as he said “Were my dreams really so terrible, little dove?”, I just enjoyed the hell out of that. I’m not even into Ydris but even I could appreciate the drama, the tragedy, as Thalia would say.

Basically, as a storyteller, I was delighted. The only thing that comes close to that in the old quests, for me anyway, was when your horse got snared in the bear trap and there was the terror of being trapped, unable to escape, the Dark Riders moving in, your precious horse bleeding and in pain, and you’re not sure what’s going to happen and then Lisa shows up and rescues both of you
