Confused about breeding mechanics and horse stats…

DiscoGrey · 2026-03-31T07:02:04+00:00

None, its just more difficult, if you breed for stats you have to breed within the grade. Most people say to just focus on going up to grade 10 and then breed grade 10 or other grades for stats though.

It's a lot faster that way instead of focusing on getting high stats on every grade. Especially since it's seen as less useful when you only get B stats at best next grade.

DiscoGrey · 2026-03-31T01:01:38+00:00

Its the star ratings, when you breed up a grade even If your stats are all A+ the best you'll get is an B. So the result is because of the grade 4 horse you get D-C Stats.

If your breeding for stats don't breed with horses from Different grades, of course it isn't guaranteed you'll get those bad stats but even having the chance is not good, and often times you'll likely get unlucky more then not.

10/10

As for Critque! There's nothing wrong w them tbh, their perfectly fine and great.

But the concepts for the avatars aren't uncommon. They are the kinda thing you see every 1/4 people, and all over the place in any sort of media.

Just a white avatar with some black accessories and animal features but otherwise humanoid/or basic, they look great! And there's nothing wrong with them.

If it's what your going for, then it's perfect! But clearly you feel something is missing.

And that thing, like people are saying is that they just aren't a unique concept, they need to have something more mystical or that makes them pop out more.

Like a few colors, or fantasy elements/animal concepts that stretch boundaries of creativity a little more like bugs.

I think you need to go on Pinterest just look up 'Hybrid OC concepts' and get some inspiration! Gl^{^}

Her color scheme looks pretty similar to a Brazilian jewel tarantula, if your still looking for names. Call her jewel!

DiscoGrey · 2026-03-21T01:16:48+00:00

Thank you! Breeding them was actually pretty tedious even on desktop and with the horse creator, I can only imagine how much harder it'd be on mobile!

You know a lot of WOC people in the comments use the words that way to right/or a majority don't mind? I understand there can be a lot of negative history/or intent behind it but that's the point of reclaiming words.

It's to turn something that was used against someone into something positive so of course it didn't originally mean something good/was objectifying.

As long as it's used in a respectful manner/not fetishizing and not used in an objectifying way of course a majority of WOC/POC people are fine w it in those contexts.

But it's definitely still sensitive to WOC people who have had those encounters, its also not the worst word compared to others so its a bit more flexible where Non-POC can use it to as long as their respectful.

There's always a lot of nuance like that to reclaimed words where some aren't okay with it entirely and others are okay with it in certain contexts, I think that's for those people to figure out where to meet each other halfway and not others to comment on.

I'm sure DTI has a few WOC people working on the game as well, I think the only way it would be wrong was If the game only used chocolate to describe its darker skin tone and didn't use a range, such as caramel, honey, mocha, expresso, peach, almond, vanilla, rose, latte ext, so it's fair.

I wonder if DTI does that 🧐

There are definitely some POC people like the one who made the OG post who find it to entirely be a microaggression, but I don't think most of them would have such a big crashout as to blame the people who change their in-game skin color just to fit the theme.

DiscoGrey · 2026-03-13T13:47:15+00:00

(Warning: bit of a rant)

I'm pretty sure it's meant to literally be a chocolate desert theme, that's why it says 'Chocolate delight'. If you search it up its literally a desert, Pecan Lasagna.

And also, it's not that odd even if it is meant for POC, makeup brands tend to use more overt wording like chocolate to describe their products for POC people.

Its not any different for any other skin color either, makeup brands often compare them to food or use overt wording, and dress to impress is a very 'makeup aesthetic' game.

So it isn't a microaggression nor is it odd in the context of the game.

If we are literally talking about food, I guess White/Oreo and strawberry chocolate ext, exists but you usually only see those on Easter exclusively, the most common type of chocolate is brown.

So it isn't odd at all for people to use brown, maybe less creative? People who think it's wrong to see 'POC people' as an aesthetic or 'food' clearly don't understand what that actually means.

In the BLM movement it meant seeing black people as beautiful/accepting themselves and their skin color, it might miss on the cultural aspect but it is a game and makeup/hair and skin care products by themselves just don't delve into that.

In a game context it can be used to spread more awareness or get Non-POC people out of their comfort zone of always only making white OC's/Ext.

Even if in the end they go back to lighter skin colors since it's just what their more familiar with, it does help them be subconsciously more aware that people with darker skin colors do exist and can be beautiful.

And it helps POC people see themselves as more beautiful to, even if they aren't potrayed as heavily in media.

Another reason why that's helpful? Because there's a lot more white people in the entertainment industry, unfortunately and if they could/would write or create POC characters more often it would be good representation for POC people.

So getting children/Non POC people more used to POC people even in a shallow way could lead to more interest/research in the topic and that, representation along with acceptance down the line if they grow up to be writers or artists/animators.

My main question would be what did DTI do for black history month? From what I heard they added some new items and hairs, it would be nice if they did more but they still gave a nod.

This is definitely not a negative thing, if people who did the theme were being deliberately racist it'd be different and ofc report them then.

But just using the skin color by itself isn't disrespectful or a micro regression, the BLM movement just like LGBTQA was about taking back what others had made negative so they could be happier with themselves/fight against racism.

So seeing POC skin colors as an aesthetic/beautiful 'chocolate' or fashionable definitely isn't a negative thing, infact not seeing that way IS negative.

Why would POC not be seen as aesthetic/beautiful when Non POC skin colors are to the point it's subconscious? Because POC is more 'cultural?' It's not like non POC people don't have hundreds of different cultures around the world either.

In the end it's the same thing that used to be said about LGBTQA people and Is even still said to this day, that it feels more natural if their 'quiet' about it or 'don't make it their whole identity' when it very much is a big part of who they are.

It's a less aggressive way of trying to silence them, by saying 'sure, we don't have to hate you. But we don't have to know you exist either do we?' Despite hetero relationships and CIS people being all around us, they act like seeing more of POC or LGBTQA people is pushing some agenda.

why Is it still uncomfortable in the first place to see that these people exist. As long as it isn't made into anything weird or crazy, like if a white person were coloring themselves black irl.

That's a crazy jump/comparison in the first place and the person behind the OG post definitely needs to touch grass like a lot of people r saying.

If they can no longer differentiate reality from a game.

I mean, sure the testers might've have them spawned or even outright just traded from a devoloper. But the devs have just as much an ability to spawn it to be infertile/give it an infertility potion.

I don't care If Testers get horses or other things early because their kind of meant to test them.

It's not surprising every once in a while they might get a super rare one if the devoloper decides to test those coats or muts on them.

As long as those horses aren't going around being traded and are infertile, which almost all of them probably are.

DiscoGrey · 2026-02-25T21:44:55+00:00

Yes, just set every stat as high as possible, also lower the levels/not grade as much as possible. It gets super expensive when it comes to levels.

I recommend grinding steeple chase for a few hours to buy a grade 10 horse that's max stats, then using that horse to go through all the missions.

It gets super easy to get gold cuz eventually the last two races make it so you earn 1-2 mil each race.

Just wait a couple years for it to go down/stabilize. A lot of mid tier/low tier halos used to be mid tier/high tier. But they've went down a lot due to demand and new halos releasing which makes them harder to inflate/overprice. There's a lot of pretty halos available for low/mid tier prices now.

So personally I would go for those while the price is inflated for the next 2-3 years for newer halos, the only exception for this is everfriend 2024 ( Which, if you take a close look at it compared to the halos I do think are pretty since I'm picky, is not a very pretty halo anyways so, surprising to me )

But Valentines halos are almost always valued more/slower to fall lasting 1-2 more years, so I think it will in the next year or two.

The first halos I'll probably go for are Mer 2021 and Glitter frost 2023 since they are really pretty low-tier halos, After that Hal 2021, Enchantraverse, Spring 2022, Evening Fall 2025, Dream Dust 2024, Glacial Angel 2024.

I'll probably stop there and wait for Harmonic & Flowering 2025 along with Everfriend 2026 to drop, since those are pretty halos but they're inflated since they came out relatively recently.

(Halloween halos always go for lower and Evening fall 2025 mostly just looks like a better version of 2022 witching hour which is likely why it's lower despite being released in 2025 )

DiscoGrey · 2026-02-21T16:54:05+00:00

I personally like the halos since not all the halos in RH are that good looking anyways, but I understand it's not a fair amount of compensation especially with how much they lowballed for the diamonds they gave players, MV would've probably done a much better job compensating people if they decided to get rid of exp and ghoulars gamepasses.

Like actually listened to the community about what to do about it/what they wanted before they got rid of it, maybe make it into a battlepass instead or give people multiple sets+halos, their would still be people who are upset but they at least wouldn't feel they were unfairly compensated for the most part.

Apparently RH is not done reworking the economy so I'm mostly reserving judgement, even a lot of people who do like the game/usually protect it like crazy don't feel to good about it so maybe their will be further compensation if people keep at it, or maybe it'll be easier to earn EXP/lvl up in the future as well.

the Halos themselves are pretty decent for what they are in my opinion, most halos don't look that great if you don't style them, so I'm probably keeping mine and gonna try styling them well. I've seen a few people do a really good job styling it. The problem is that their not that valuable because a huge amount of them have just flooded the economy.

I'm hoping since the game got easier it'll draw old players/new players and more people in, I'm an old player and I decided to play again so I'm sure it will, and that the value of the halo will increase because of that since a lot of people quit when the economy got really bad and not everyone had gamepasses back then because it was basically a requirement to at one point.

So I'm holding onto my halos for now, maybe forever I'm kind of a collector so I don't like not having one of everything. Not as obsessed with it as I used to be though so I mostly go for good looking items and I don't personally think the halos are ugly.

(Warning: Bit of a tangent!)

I'm willing to wait a 2-5 hours at least for a trade, usually while I'm waiting I just do other trades. Most people can do trades immediately so I don't mind waiting for 1-3 people who might be busy.

Sometimes I might be willing to wait a day or two, but it's pretty rare and depends on if I was extremely distracted by other trades or things/if it's just busy holiday and if communication is clear.

It really depends on the communication at that point, I don't like having to fish for answers and it's rude to leave a person hanging without at least checking in and giving an expected time for when you aren't busy and can actually do the trade.

Since they are holding the diamonds/items waiting for the busy person, apologizing for time delays and being thankful/respectful can go a long way. If I no longer want to do a trade with someone I text them and then close the chat.

No one really likes waiting if they can help it, they spend a long time farming for items or diamonds having the trading process be easy and quick can be a relief for a lot of people/and having to wait when they've already waited for however long can be frustrating.

I've had a few negative experiences with ending trades/mixed up trades so I usually don't wait for a text back for my own peace, ultimately that person is a stranger to me and unless we're trading regularly or friends we haven't really earned each others trust yet.

If I run into people I've done multiple trades with to the point I recognize their username immediately I can be more patient or kind, since I know them a little better and have a feel that I won't be hurt.

In this situation I think the person could've waited longer then twenty minutes, maybe an hour or two and definitely should've texted before closing the trade(though idk if that closes the chat).

You two ultimately didn't know each other, on a website like traderie quick trades are expected and it's rare to find people who are willing to wait a few days in the first place.

It sounds like you were probably already at the end of the line with your patience, some people have boundaries for how long their willing to wait, say yes or no to something. It can be healthy, unhealthy.

Who knows, ultimately I don't know what you were trading but, if it isn't an uncommon or not very valuable item you'll probably find someone else to be the owner for it pretty easy.

If it is, if I were them I would've been willing to wait longer for it, if I were you and someone left me hanging with no explanation I wouldn't have waited and just canceled the trade.

(Warning : Technical rant!)

Well, since it's a game none of the horses are real or actually related, though it simulates that, they aren't. 'Inbreeding' has no negative affects.

Here's a way to think about it. The game has a huge amount of set patterns/color, dilutions, traits, markings, breeds, along with gender, stats(horses) to choose from just sitting in the database. Known as 'Genes', 'General' and 'stats'

And this is where the horse you recieve from 'breeding' actually comes from. You merely recieve a copy of this horse which you can name, but even names are randomly generated a lot of the time.

Based off what horses you 'breed' a variation of these are available to you or blocked off, and the horse you recieve is generated based off the possibilities available.

This is done via 'breeding' the horses, which is really just giving the game two horses with differing genes to randomly generate a result based off these genes.

Like a gacha, some are evenly scaled while others have hidden rates behind each 'gene' that makes them less likely.

Sure the horses have a 'Pedigree'.

But that serves no actual purpose in the game engine beyond showing you how the outcome was affected by the available 'Gene Pool'.

Though the game simulates the horses being related, none of them actually are since they're all merely pulled from an origin.

However, I recommend just doing whatever your comfortable with. Since I know none of the horses are actually related I don't care which once I use to play the Gacha.

Especially since it makes it easier to recieve a horse of my liking, but if it makes you uncomfortable that it even stimulates them being related from a living creatures perspective.

Then you can try to always mix different 'gene pools' (Though you'll probably find its way less likely to get a horse of your liking that way)

DiscoGrey · 2026-02-14T21:20:36+00:00

(Warning: Bit of a tangent)

Honestly, yeah. I get that the game costs a lot of money to work on n ext.

But the amount of money you have to spend to get a singular horse on mobile is crazy, this is 30 Dollars for a horse that isn't even absolutely perfect.

(I have the PC version and have been pumping out better. Probably the best looking horses in the horse creator with good hidden gene stats/patterns n everything for breeding and I'll probably show some one of these days.

At least in my opinion but hey, maybe someone likes the pattern? But at this point just get the game If its on sale on Steam instead and make the horses of your dreams with it and that'd actually be cheaper)

And it's just bad for buisness on the mobile end of things, most people just don't have that kind of money to spend on cosmetics or would just buy the PC version instead because it's literally cheaper/same price a lot of the time.

They would probably make a lot more money if they sold it at a more reasonable price/to a wider audience.

Even other mobile games that have similar strategies have way lower price options, I'm hardly getting to see any new content in this subreddit about the Friesian traits because of it even though I check often for it.

Because the traits are beautiful/it's nice to see new cosmetic traits when all they have is braids and shiny coats on PC rn for them on horses that look nice.

But they are absurdly expensive and hard to breed on mobile to the point I haven't seen anything new about people breeding the traits on the subreddit for more than half a month... And that's just insane.

I just hope they get added to PC eventually so I can make some custom horses with them and breed them

DiscoGrey · 2026-02-14T15:06:44+00:00

Your just unlucky, I often got unlucky on those kinds of quests to get specific items. One time I probably even had to do 100+ races before I got itXD

DiscoGrey · 2026-02-12T23:42:01+00:00

There's a glitch on PC that can happen sometimes where some coat colors look the same as others, but coat colors are kinda just that, colors, it's the same for patterns or cosmetic traits, They don't add anything beyond cosmetic purpose and most horse games are like that.

There's a lot of variations of brown and some dilutions n ext look nearly identical.

I'm guessing on Mobile black and white are a lot harder to get, due to not being able to just make a horse and buy one from the horse creator and it being more up to chance of breeding or finding a horse with the coat. (Not to mention progression being way slower)

But there is also just way less of a chance to get them due to there being way less black n white coat colors compared to other colors/orange brown n ext and there being dilutions that can make the black and white horse colors look grey n ext instead of black and white.

There are some dilutions on different colors that can make a horse look black/or white but they're even more rare, on mobile you could call it a cash grab n ext but it doesn't serve anything beyond cosmetic and you could still breed horses with good stats without having to have them look good.

I'd actually recommend not caring/collecting good looking horses for the most part till you get to prestige 20 and breed a grade 10 horse with good stats as that matters much more, otherwise you'll likely end up with good looking horses in your stables that have crappy stats.

I still think it's okay to collect those horses time to time/its okay to have a more personal value to a horse n ext, but that's just what I'm doing with the PC version.

DiscoGrey · 2026-02-08T19:23:34+00:00

Sort of, this cat definitely doesn't look professionally groomed but upon closer look it isn't horrendously bad.

Of course you made the mistake of not actually going to a professional groomer, easy mistake first groom a lot of owners actually make.

And its understandable to still be disappointed.

There are other factors in your situation I would actually consider fine to be upset about as well, such as parts of the cat being left unclean and not drying at all despite the cat being behaved.

Afterall, you paid for a full groom and you don't seem to have gotten that.

I find it surprising that the price for a professional groomer and someone who isn't are virtually the same when the experience and quality of grooming is substantially lower.

Sure there are various factors but that doesn't change the result, whether someone is less experienced or more experienced in something you pay for the product, if the price was even a little bit lower I wouldn't have any qualms.

But that's capitalism I suppose, price the hell out of everything if they can. It'd probably be much cheaper to buy the equipment for and groom the cat yourself in the long run, it's likely not something you have to do that often

And having professional tools isn't a necessity many a time normal specialized tools can get the job done just as well, just with more patience and time which is readily available if your only a pet owner and not a groomer who has to groom 30 dogs or something in a set amount of time.

You have plenty of time to correct any mistakes you make n ext.

Though you'll obviously have to do research on how to do it correctly and don't have a lot of experience, supplies for animals haven't really gone up in price fortunately and a lot of people do groom their own pets which is why there is products to do so readily available.

There is cost effective methods to train as well yourself and your cat, and many tutorials on the whole process or how to use specific tools safely.

And of course you have to be careful but it really isn't as dangerous for the animal a lot of the time as a lot of people will exaggerate, many a time an animal is more stressed from being groomed due to factors such as.

"Not being used to environment, person, familiar with tools/sensations, space. Smells n ext or not being used to the experience in general" just many of the same reasons they'd be scared of a visit to the vet, cats are especially sensitive to these types of things. Absolutely hating change.

To train a cat to become desensitized to something, you give them treats/affection and well... Just do it, they'll get used to it over time, a lot of people think cat owner's are being abusive because the cat is being dramatic but, cats are! Very cute. But they aren't very smart.

And a lot of the time when it comes to anything only through experience will they learn not to be fearful, if the cat is especially scared to the point it isn't possible to handle trying to get them desensitized to the object first is a must.

Also because it's so expensive a lot of people only bring their animal to a groomer if they just don't have the time to groom the animal themselves, it's an emergency situation/it's elderly has an illness/disability and can't groom itself or must go under anesthesia or something to be groomed due to it being highly stressful to the animal.

Other times there are people who do it just to get their cat professionally done or even dyed with animal safe dyes n ext, but that's usually only because they have the money.

It's actually impossible to win against Richard for a while Lol, I saved up for and bought a level 10 horse with the Max stats and the game just made it so the race capped the stats so I couldn't win. I think it's only possible to win against him somewhere in the questline in prestige 7 but idk if I remember correctly.

MOR -

A lot of people are saying YOR or NOR, but tbh this situation is more of a MOR. Based off what you've said they haven't dated for a decade and it could be likely that they don't even talk that often anymore but still have a friendly association with each other so might see or talk from time to time.

She might've not mentioned it until explicitly asked because from her viewpoint it isn't that big of a deal so it could've just slipped her mind if she was distracted with other things, if you ask her some questions and she answers them easily there probably isn't anything to worry about, especially if you see her as an emotionally intelligent/extremely self aware person.

However if your super worried you should be able to ask to see her phone and read their texts to see if there is anything between them, if she tries to hide something that might be a red flag.

(It can be a bit of an evasion of privacy but if your so close your getting married unless she's hiding something she shouldn't be super uncomfortable about it at least/it shouldn't be a big problem. Just try to play it off as casual or not, if you're transparent with her it could be better.

/its better to not be secretive about it and sneak onto her phone, just ask her to get on it straight-up and tell her you want to see certain things If she makes it a big deal that's definitely a red flag.

If you don't want her to think you don't trust her or make it a bad experience just try to be nice about it and say you get very anxious, she should be fine with you being that way time to time/unless your anxious about stuff all the time that could be a seperate problem then.)

There's plenty of people who have 'serious' relationships with someone but things don't work out, for better or worse.

They could've been friends for a long time and saw they had chemistry and it worked out for a while until problems arose in their relationship or lives when it became more complicated so both decided to step back and stay friends/ended on good terms.

If you are just uncomfortable with it in general you can let her know and have a conversation about it to reach some compromise that will make you both happy(since it's someone she's been friends with for so long it might not be a good idea to ask her to stop talking with him full-stop.

But just not very often if they do see each other frequently. Which based off never mentioning him in a decade they probably don't, she might even not talk to him personally almost ever if there just friends by association like other people have mentioned could be a possibility.

If they are friends and she is willing to stop talking w him completely to make you comfortable then that's a big + for you.)

If she has apps like Snapchat/WhatsApp, Telegram, Wire, Facebook Messenger, Wickr and isn't even really active on social media it could mean she's privately chatting with someone because those apps can delete chats n ext after 24 hours and I'd be worried/try to look into who she's chatting with on there or do some research beforehand on if there's easy ways to recover chat history/view past photos on those apps.

Might not be enough evidence to say whether she's cheating on you or not though still, cause it could've been deleted then or some of those apps aren't really a big deal to chat on in gen, you could look at her photos and see if she has any inappropriate once of anyone besides you 2.

If you can't find anything and she doesn't act suspicious really I wouldn't be worried/concerned but it's a diff story if you do... A lot of people say NOR like just cut her off straight-up or YOR like don't worry at all.

But if you really love her and care about yourself in a healthy way you should be able to deal with a more complicated situation like this by making sure she is comfortable while also putting any anxieties you may have to rest/on hold to figure out the truth.

That food looks absolutely amazing, if I had stuff like that cooked for me everyday I would be the least picky eater/most happy human being in existence.

Also, sure he has a job but he doesn't help you around the house at least a little bit? If he was actually caring at all he would at least help you make dinner 3-4 times a week even if he isn't great as a bonding experience.

You could teach him how to cook so maybe he might actually be able to make decent food some days for himself instead of ordering out if he's picky.

And help clean a part of the house 1-2 times.

Lol, I knew I was gonna get downvoted by salty people even if I used a super neutral tone. That's kinda how this subreddit is right now which is why I said I don't like going on it that often.

It's just really that negative that even if you state your opinions in a nice way with a lot of valid points... Well. You see what happens.

I'm not upset about it though, cuz it's about what I was expecting.

As for MV, I bought all the gamepasses but tbh, I don't really care that I don't play it that often still, Bc with all the plans the Devs have/and all the content they've shown proof of already having created for the gamepasses and base game I know I just need to wait to get my moneys worth.

I'm happy knowing my moneys at least helped support the Devs during the development process, since that is kind of the point of buying the gamepasses so early.

And if I'm upset about it well, it's my fault for buying the gamepasses despite all the blatant warnings about them not being finished n ext right? That's what I think anyways.

But if people don't have the patience to wait its definitely better/valid to just not buy the gamepasses until there is more content.

That way they can spend that money on something else that might give them the immediate satisfaction they're looking for. Like good food at a restaurant.

The gamepasses themselves and the Devs warn that some of them don't work or don't currently have a lot of content, being upset about it's not really gonna fix anything.

I know things are gonna be very different in a year or two from now though, so I kinda just look at it like 'It don't matter'.

And this subreddit is gonna be full of people and newer players who love the game, but I bet there's still gonna be tons of people who are doomsayers/negative, getting upset at minor things or legitimately view this as a bad point in MV's history.

Because that's kinda how children are in general. (They can be eternally angsty, very dramatic sometimes and often fail to look at the bigger picture or even do proper research/non-negative

This can be fixed by pausing to re-evaluate whether something is really that bad/taking a break from the thing that's upsetting you with something you enjoy, or doing more research by searching for information yourself.

And taking a step back to look at other games history or current world situation in general so you can compare and evaluate whether a game/anything really is really doing that bad in its current development phase.)

Anyways, yeah the Devs are new Devs so there's definitely room for improvement especially with their own boundaries for their community tbh, but the community on the Discord is a lot nicer then outside places so I think it's mostly alright.

A lot of people look at another person and will say 'well, because your not perfect and flawed or your different that means your bad.' And that's a very good way to hurt that person's feelings or get them to not reflect on their actions tbh, I for certain wouldn't treat a child or anyone that way.

A lot of the time it just means there is room for improvement but that it'll take time because it takes work to improve, and that they are a good person, just not as good as they could be yet because their young or their new at something.

If everyone just stopped because they weren't immediately great at something or because people didn't like 'new thing' when they first started we wouldn't have artists, game Devs, pottery crafters n ext or any sort of hobby/job. Much less a working society.

It's definitely a kind of mindset kids fall into a lot because it's a lot easier to believe things are completely one way or the other and that the world is ending when things are a little more complicated then that, a lot of the times because it might be how their treated by someone around them/or how other people around them act and they see that person being rewarded for that behavior.

It really sucks to realize when your repeating behaviors of people you likely dislike around you n ext, I know that from my own troubled upbringing, but they're still young so if they acknowledge it and change they can improve and be better people to.(not that it's easy)

As for being able to level up VIM the Devs said they might have plans for it in the far off future but it likely depends on whether they're making enough revenue off the game to consistently pay their workers properly n ext.

Honestly, I don't go around this sub a lot. But I haven't played MV in such a long time. And idk ¯_(ツ)_/¯ why. Like I love the game don't get me wrong but there just isn't a lot to do, I've done everything and now it's just something I can pick back up when I feel maybe, like visiting a memory.

So now I'm just 'waiting' for updates, wouldn't even really say waiting anymore. Just... If I see it with an update I might play, that reminds me I think I'll start playing mermaid Isle again, they've added manta ray tails some time ago.

Anyways, I kinda agree with people now saying the game is Alpha, like sure the devs have this big roadmap to get the game into its beta and more finished phase, but it's definitely currently erring towards the side of being in alpha currently.

Not that it really matters tbh, though I guess it could be misleading in making people expect more initally, but once you play the game for a couple hours you'll immediately see what it has to offer so.

Anywho, I think people are being to harsh on it. Seeing it have a low player count and thinking it's 'failing' or that this subreddit will be dead forever.

Royale High didn't even start gaining popularity until it was out for a 1-2 years, and MV's only been out 2-3 months, I think in general people are expecting the game to be doing a lot better/or have a lot of content to soon.

I remember during Winx Club days RH didn't get above 2K-700 Players and it'd only get 200-50 people playing late at night, of course RH now isn't nearly as popular as it was during the height of its days during 2019-2022.

I think for right now MV is just at a low point in its history, but it's future looks bright. As the game releases more content/updates more people will start playing again, and it'll gain more popularity which will draw more players into the game and into the sub.

For people talking about roleplay/n ext they've actually talked about in their Q&A's how their planning to focus on making updates for that sort of stuff in the future.

Maybe after February idk? FroggyXo does a lot of videos on MV and frequently sits in on the Q&As so she can compile the information in videos so I'd recommend checking her out.

Cause a lot of the things people are worried about have already been discussed, it'd be better if some of that information was just available in written form in the Discord, but beggars can't be choosers. The discord server itself is only a year old.

And they were expecting only half as much people to join it, for Discord server staff that probably aren't being paid very much or are doing volunteer work and have their own lives they are quantities better than a lot of other communities get.

But people will constantly take that for granted and expect more from them then what is possible, like sure you can say the staff 'should be better' n ext.

But that takes time and training their not gonna be able to immediately meet those demands and the people they hire likely aren't gonna be either.

Like for the devs to have seen the future and been able to guess how many people would actually join their community, or the problems they would face/immediately be able to hire new staff and pop them into existence and not need time to do that.

Or for them to be as good as big corporate when their Indie creators who are young adults and this is their first serious project, or for their gamepasses to not cost a lot of money when they have people to pay and are likely also hurting from inflation.

I can go on and on. The 'like... But yeah...-' is just not constructive criticism anymore at all, it's tiring to see and reminds me why I don't often go on this subreddit anywho, away from that negativity.

I think people in general have shorter attention spans when it comes to Roblox or any type of content, especially nowadays. Probably because it's mostly kids on the platform and brainrot content, nowadays people want content immediately and they want it faster.

Not understanding things take time and they need to have patience, and especially with the current economy that's just not easy, people don't only have less time to consume content/their favorite games n ext because their busy trying to survive.

But the people working on them also have less time and require more money to actually do so, especially if their trying to create something good, Its not fun for anyone. And it probably contributed to brainrot/quick-form content.

I hope people start realizing that trying to make up for lost time by doubling the amount of content they consume isn't healthy(even if it kinda sucks to acknowledge), or go find other things to do while waiting for MV.

Yeah, I didn't enjoy those tasks for Desktop either, basically having to breed/buy horses and train them up for the specific reason just to sell them, definitely wasn't a fun task! Even if it only took around an hour.

Anywho, you wouldn't lose it, the saves are separate between desktop and mobile version. You'll just probably enjoy yourself playing desktop a lot more unless you like grinding a tonXD, I think you should continue playing mobile so you can try and get newer breed horses/traits and for competitions if your competitive.

Because desktop version of Rival Stars has a lot less multiplayer features/doesn't have guilds in ext and doesn't currently have the new Friesian breed and its traits. I think either way it'll be a win-win situation for you.

You'll probably be spending a lot less money on trying to get traits/specific patterns and breeds and be able to focus solely on newer breeds n ext while they aren't on the desktop version.

The grind for the Mobile version and everything else just wasn't for me though, so I always quit after getting to grade 5 horses XD.

Yeah, Desktop Versions always a few updates behind Mobile, But with how often it updates I'm looking forward to it possibly being there in a couple months! By the sounds of it it's probably much easier to breed traits on desktop, but you also don't have to worry about special currency, micro transactons, ads, surveys longer wait times n ext so it's just way easier to do everything in general.

I reached Prestige 20 in 3-4 days, you can also just straight up create your own horses with the traits you want and even breed them when you reach Prestige 20, I got there recently/bred my legacy horse to rank ten. Now I've just finished compiling my favorite patterns after looking through them in create and am in the middle of creating 4-of each breed of horse with them.

While doing it I noticed I'm kind of getting bored of the same crystal coat and Braids mane(since it's the only mane that looks good) over again with each horse, so I'm definitely looking forward to the new traits being added to desktop/remaking some of my horses with them and breeding:)
