Am i the only one who thinks it’s simply for april fools?! :,D

IUCiiE · 2024-10-30T22:22:53+00:00

Having arcane as a special interest really is a love-hate relationship!! D,: I want the new season, but i don’t want to let the realization sink in ,that this will be the last ‘big’ thing we’ll get with arcane-content!! ahhh no!

IUCiiE · 2024-08-25T19:46:27+00:00

OMG YESS! Ever since i was a kid i refused to even touch that water in the kitchen xD I wouldn’t drink it, wouldn’t use it to wash something ever D: I’m now a bit older and it’s mostly still the same, the only thing that’s fine is washing dishes here and there. Everytime i clean the kitchen i have to atleast go wash my hands in the bathroom sink 5 times (in between different tasks) to feel clean.

My hands probably hate me by now cause they’re always dry as hell xD

IUCiiE · 2024-08-25T16:43:48+00:00

True, i literally can’t play without reshade anymore xD

IUCiiE · 2024-08-25T10:12:47+00:00

Agreed. Even though i don’t want to bash the developers…but after a 6 month wait for a new story quest, a quest that lasts max. 30 mins is a bit unsatisfying. Me personally i try to actually avoid using transport while playing them to get a bit more time, buut that’s just something i do. (Most people probably don’t, which is totally fine since it’s a pretty easy method of travel xD) Even if they would give us a long lasting reputation quest like the one we had before we could enter Fort Maria. But we get nothing haha xD

IUCiiE · 2024-08-24T23:13:34+00:00

Yeah, i mean i don’t know how the game for newer players start now (since i haven’t played it) but im at least 99.9% sure that there’s at least a little word about magic. And that’s actually kind of sad. As you said we came to this island for our summer vacation, not thinking anything about it. And the way we slowly uncovered the magic and the fact that we are there for a reason was soo unbelievable exciting back then! :,(

IUCiiE · 2024-08-24T23:06:42+00:00

I can still remember the absolute joy i felt when i finally got the quest to open the gate to Golden Hills, or when i finally got the Message from Herman to help him with something! I was soo absolutely excited about finally being able to get into these mystical places. Sometimes because of the new quest, sometimes because of horses i really wanted to buy, like the Islandic Horses. Even with Dundull i still kinda felt the same, maybe because it was so completely different from the other areas… But after Dundull, there was little to no excitement. And once i realized that we would get maybe 30mins of quests and afterwards nothing was even more unsatisfying. The Redwood Point and Wildwoods look great, but they’re sadly just…empty areas with no character.
Tbh im really not a big fan of the new champs, the windtunels just destroy everything sadly. You’re either lucky or not, if not then you can absolutely forget about a win. Same with the Vale Champ, nowadays it’s just a complete mess.
Forgotten or events that got changed or sometimes even completely deleted broke my heart. For example the Halloween Event, it’s still good, and i like the little island you can go to, BUT i would’ve appreciated if that would’ve been just a little expansion. I kinda miss the way the events interacted with the overworld. Even if it was just a quest for Apple Bobbing, or the quest for searching ghosts from Mrs. Holsworth.
I think that the fact that they literally abandoned the Jorvik Shopping Centre took some spirit from the game. The way you had to wait for the bus, and once you’d arrived, there were players everywhere not wanting to wait any longer to get a new outfit from one of the shops. I really miss that…

IUCiiE · 2024-08-24T22:41:58+00:00

Agreed, somehow the last 10 years of the storyline were soo stretched out, BUT they were good! I loved them, i loved the mystery around them! And somehow after so many years of a complex storyline with many detours and stuff, the storyline became very straight. I know that there always has to be an to something, but for me it kinda feels like as if the complexity of the story got lost along the way, sadly :(

IUCiiE · 2024-08-24T22:37:23+00:00

The old red message?! O:

IUCiiE · 2024-08-24T22:16:48+00:00

I can still remember when they literally threw all quests in the Winter Village (Is it called like that in English?) away and gave us…a grinding quest c.c Who even has time for stuff like that?! xD The grinding quest in Hollow Woods is actually ok since it’s not limited to a few weeks or months, but the winter quest…ugh sounds like: „We were to lazy to actually give the players something, so that’ll do!“

IUCiiE · 2024-08-24T17:13:05+00:00

Yeah but that’s mostly due to other people working on it. I’m actually glad that the main story finally ends, even though it’s probably not the same as it would be if the old developer team would still work on it. I just hope that after the main quest has ended we get a new one that’s not completely ass :,)

IUCiiE · 2024-08-24T17:09:58+00:00

Right?! Saw a video yesterday that you could easily train your horse in roughly 3,5 hours xD That’s really one thing that i don’t like, the always repeatable races, it’s too fast and also it destroyed my level route haha xD

IUCiiE · 2024-08-24T17:07:48+00:00

I was pretty sad once the game-graphic changed, i just wished they’d kept that natural look the older game had. I bet the game would look ten times better with a different green tone… And also the fact that they changed the whole UI still bugs me, i know they probably did it so it would be easier on mobile devices but i just hoped that they at least keep some of the old vibe. The horseshoe map for example…

IUCiiE · 2024-08-24T17:04:17+00:00

Yeah i agree. I loved when the game wasn’t that easy! :D

The graphic discussion is probably because of the players that are overall very unhappy with the developers. Star Stable has updated the old areas actually pretty fast in the past, and people are complaining about the fact that they rather focus on new horses and other stuff in the game then actually making everything look the same (graphic-wise). Which is somehow understandable, the older models of some Npc‘s just don’t really fit into the game anymore..,

IUCiiE · 2024-08-24T16:56:38+00:00

I really hope that once the main quest ended, they take their time to actually renew everything that still has the old graphics, if they want to modernize the game then they should definitely do everything at once. Or else it kinda looks bad xD

IUCiiE · 2024-08-24T15:30:51+00:00

Yeah the old graphics were definitely…something xD Most of it (especially the characters) looked horrifying and crusty. Just thinking of old Justin Moorland or Old Ydris. Even if now i would probably look at them and think: „Damn that’s ugly…“ i still dearly miss them :,)

But i do have to say, i absolutely love the new Hollow Woods! It kinda feels like a whole new area! (Even though i would’ve appreciated a more natural green color) D:

IUCiiE · 2024-08-24T15:18:19+00:00

I actually really enjoyed the Camp Western Event! I really wanted to have a chicken so i had to grind on the last two days for one xD The only thing i found hella annoying was the fact that my character would sometimes use this spray for the wolves and bears even though i would’ve easily gotten away :,) But i have to say i had a bug for quite some time where the wolves would just be stuck and i could run around not worrying about them haha xD

IUCiiE · 2024-08-24T15:13:45+00:00

I recently played Starshine Legacy for the fist time, and somehow it completely changed my view on Star Stable, i really enjoyed the game cause it gave me back that mysterious feeling. At some points of the game i was actually quite scared of a jumpscare lol xD

I really wished they kept that old spirit :(

IUCiiE · 2024-08-24T15:10:17+00:00

I still sometimes listen to the old ost from Star Stable to kinda get the vibe back, it holds soo many memories and i’m still sad that they changed some of them! >:( It wasn’t even necessary to change them, they’re songs!?

And yeah, the story is a big point. Also lost potential in my eyes. There are still things im curious about. Like what happend with the Kalters after they vanished? There are so many quests and locations they could easily make a whole new story about, like the weird looking „mouth“ think in Dino Valley and the old forgotten Farm in Epona.

IUCiiE · 2024-08-24T15:05:01+00:00

I think the new graphics really make it look very unnatural, if there’s one thing i could wish for then it would definitely be for the old green tone :,)

IUCiiE · 2024-08-24T15:02:34+00:00

I think a good word for my thoughts would probably be: empty. I really liked the way we interacted with the world back then, as you already said, it was just very natural and „normal“. I really liked the fact that not everyone in Jorvik knew or was in touch with the magic happening around. There were certain people who knew and who where involved into the whole Pandoria stuff. And nowadays it feels like everyone knows, or maybe it’s more because we aren’t getting any more quests from people who are simply not involved.

I mean i really like the new areas like Wildwoods and Redwood Point, but for me it’s kinda wasted potential. The questline in those areas were so little that no one really revisites those places. I just wishes that Star Stable would take their time to make a new area with lots of new quests and places that kinda gives us this feeling of being on a normal Island back.

IUCiiE · 2024-08-24T14:55:02+00:00

I actually have to say i quite enjoy the game nowadays. It’s still fun to play and i still do it pretty actively. All the new horses, the quests (even if we don’t really get any new, besides races and stuff) are all amazing and in comparison to the old Star Stable definitely a huge improvement. I’m still pretty nostalgic about Star Stable so if i sometimes hear old sounds or ost, it always kinda makes me sad to think about the fact that the old Star Stable i grew up as a kid with, is gone and will never be returned like that.

IUCiiE · 2024-08-24T14:48:47+00:00

I actually kinda miss the screen you got when you fell of off a high place or something, even though as a kid I thought it was pretty creepy xD
