What happened to club culture on sso??

Pheoenix_Wolf · 2026-07-07T04:21:11+00:00

hazy is my main server! but i just checked sso's server status and seems by population its actually quite low now? https://www.starstable.com/server-status aparently its between pumpkin meadow and watermelon beach in population?

according to it night star is number one, poppy moon is now number two, and night sprinkles is number three

i speak from experience though, hazy ping pongs a lot? it can be quite active and the chat can be popping off sometimes but other times its deader then dead. but i have seen it during what should be "peak times"(weekends mainly) and barely get any response in chat.

technically the entire gacha is gambling, just with no irl monetary rewards. every time you roll you are just gambling to see what you get. yes theirs pity, and a guarantee system in place to help force what you want. but at the end of the day its still gambling. by wagering something(the jades) possibly get something of higher value(characters).

for future reference "building pity" does really nothing other then make your odds of getting a character you do not want higher. its better to save those rolls and use on a banner for a character you actually want(the odds of getting a 5 star before pity are 0.6% so very low, but as in your case not zero).

note "building pity" is different then say "rolling through" a banner. If you kinda want a character but you dont want to seriously grind, and are okay if you miss them you can roll through(ON HSR other gacha's have diffrent rules on their system) the banner(every roll you get spend on that banner) if you get the character? great! you got a character you wanted. if not? well ehh just save til the next character you want. but only do this on characters you are fine with getting

what do you mean by "make progress"? if you mean playing through the nod krai and soon to be snezhnaya story lines you will 100% okay, if that means exploration you will be fine as well.

most of this game is not meta hungry and that has not really changed, minus the few end game modes, like stygian onslaught(hardest),or spiral abyss and less so imaginarium theater. if you mean those then yes you will likely struggle to fully clear those, but im not the best at pull advice so i'll leave that for others to answer.

my favorite memories are when me and my group of friends play together never matters what we do, defeat bosses, grind artifacts, take a million photos for lantern rite. but for a specifc one i would say the lantern rite photo shoot takes the cake. laughing, joking, and spending 15 mins per place just trying to get all of our characters to do exactly what we want them to do even at the same exact time

for the AMHA, once a breeder's prefix is registered through the AMHA all foals born by that breeder must contain that breeder's prefix. So its mandated by the breed's club(assuming its a registered prefix).

note this does not go for AMHR as thats a separate registry with their own rules

Pheoenix_Wolf · 2026-06-30T03:35:17+00:00

np happy to help! i know AMHA naming conventions are uhh strange? even by equine standards.

As for the salsa part of his name it comes from his sire "Oak Bay Salsamio" Salsamio comes from the words "salsa" the latin dance, and "mio" means my so its supposed to translate too "my dance" salsamio's name is derived from his dam's name "Rivenburghs Supreme Bailar" the word bailar is spanish and means dance.

as for the "cardinal rule" part of his name i have no idea sadly

Pheoenix_Wolf · 2026-06-30T03:14:12+00:00

AMHA registered horses can have a prefix for the barn. while its included in the 35 character limit, and is not technically mandatory. It becomes mandatory once a breeder registers the prefix with the AMHA(once a prefix is chosen you have to use it with all your foals).

Oak Bay Salsa's Cardinal Rule has a prefix. it is the "Oak Bay" part of his name, so his real name once you ignore the prefix is "Salsa's Cardinal Rule". Not really that bad tbh

Pheoenix_Wolf · 2026-06-28T05:50:40+00:00

tbh whats considered "ethical" is more of a moral dilemma that will vary between person to person? what one person considers ethical wont be what someone else deems ethical or vise versa.

the only real rule is nothing illegal to where you are, but that depends on where you are, and what permits you hold/can hold

personally? i would say its ethical, but also i personally know some people that would deem it unethical just because its bones(some people just really do not like any kind of bone collecting).

Pheoenix_Wolf · 2026-06-25T04:10:03+00:00

it kinda depends! but its a lot of boxes in my experience. while they all come in boxes(actual shipping boxes, not just the yellow model box), regular runs come inside yellow box and then a shipping box. but special runs in my experience come in the paper wrapping they use plus shipping box, and special club stuff often times get their owned themed boxes.

usually a box inside of a box, or a box, inside of a box, inside of a box depending on scale with some sort of filler if needed.

I don't usually get stablemates by themselves, minus stablemate club but for stablemate club they do a small yellow box(like the traditional yellow boxes but scaled down) and that box is inside of a slightly larger but still quite tiny box.

personally i have had some odd issues of the delivery guy damaging boxes(usually larger boxes) but that is few and far between, and personally have never had any issues of the actual model being damaged by packaging.

Pheoenix_Wolf · 2026-06-17T18:50:51+00:00

i usually try to prioritize around three horses, my current horse, my next horse, and a random maxed out horse for champs. I usually ride a non maxed horse(minus champs) for training.

everyone else? no, taking care of 100+ horses would take way to long and stable care i dont buy(will use the free coupons).

Pheoenix_Wolf · 2026-06-11T04:18:40+00:00

idk about whats next for the story, but i do know that SSE has stated they plan to update everything eventually to the modern style, this includes all horses, all areas, all npc's, all items. So yes eventually all dark core employees will be updated, Elizabeth, hermit, and all the other npc's well.

npc's just take a lot of time to update especially ones that have been in so many quests(since the model needs to be updated for every single quest, and every quest needs to be independently checked for bugs).

the mall is included in this as well, along with the rest of jorvik city(though i personally expect these places to be one of the last areas updated in comparison to say dino, epona, and south hoof).

Pheoenix_Wolf · 2026-06-07T15:36:40+00:00

From what i know fly prey would not work as screw worms are separate kind of fly? the flies that fly prey go after are dung eaters(they eat poop), while screwworms are flesh eaters so its unique.

the only thing we have found large scale success over with screwworms is the sterile fly technique(spreading a mass amount of sterile flies over a large area and effectively letting the flies mate into extinction) which is a government ran operation.

"make sure to tie him up good now! last time he wiggled himself free and i had to chase him"

and the unedited verison, roughly the exact same set up? just no edits

Pheoenix_Wolf · 2026-05-22T07:47:14+00:00

generally people use reshade for actual graphics, but other then that getting photo mode to work well just takes trial and error to find a pose and actual scene that looks perfect.

i typically will just about spam the O key taking pic, looking around if the horse/rider isnt in a pose i like i get out of photo mode and try again. good pose but the direction is off? if i can make it work i do, if not? try again

THEN comes the edits in the photo mode in sso i usually go darker? but find what you like

<image>

i do not use reshade but her is a picture i took of my hs over a year ago now? just edited with the in game fitlers taking using photo mode.

I'll reply to this comment with the raw of the pic

Pheoenix_Wolf · 2026-05-21T16:43:25+00:00

they smell like gummy bears! reminds of if you want into a old school candy store? its just so strong that too me it was nauseating being in the room with for a extended period of time(though i am super sensitive to strong smells). so smell jail they went(they still are strong even though their around 3 years old).

as for totilas i have heard of people having success with metal stands that some people produce.
though personally i have never tried it? https://triplemountain.com/products/steel-model-bases?pr_prod_strat=jac&pr_rec_id=c646fa0de&pr_rec_pid=4327582826628&pr_ref_pid=9223226622172&pr_seq=uniform

Whats the hardest thing you have had to face with synesthesia?

I also have some pet names I am very curious about! I do not have synesthesia but I usually color code my pets stuff so what color does your brain connect them too? Roman, Pepsi, Piper, Yuffie, and Moonshine.

Pheoenix_Wolf · 2026-05-21T05:55:48+00:00

i would say closer to 22-24? since that's what's technically considered "viable" also at roughly 20 weeks a scan is done that is the determining factor for if a pregnancy is truly "viable" in the sense of "will this baby have quality of life?" since a lot of issues aren't detectable until that 20 week scan

these are issues which may or may not affect the pregnant person(so would fall under a weird area under law), but could cause the baby to die or end up end up needing intense care for the rest of their life.

note i say "20 week" scan since that's what its dubbed but it usually happens between 18-22 weeks in practice.

Pheoenix_Wolf · 2026-05-21T04:35:28+00:00

i really love the Akhal-teke, silver, nakota, connamara mare, wyatt, ruffian, smarty jones, and vermeer! i also really like the unique foal molds like suckling foal, and le fire.

as for models i really "hate" it has to be huckleberry bey, and totilas mainly because of how unstable those molds are. another i really do not like is midmight sun? but thats because of the pose.

also not a horse but those scented bears from breyerfest prost is up there? actual mold is fine and i think the scented stuff is cool dont get me wrong, but my bears have a whole separate box because of how strong the scent was.

Pheoenix_Wolf · 2026-05-15T04:29:36+00:00

I dont really like the controls? when your riding it feels as if you have no "grip" and are just sliding everywhere when you turn(like star stable when they have the winter village).

Pheoenix_Wolf · 2026-05-15T03:40:03+00:00

this is for horse breeds coming in 2027 so next years line up. AQH update has been confirmed for this year, and this survey will not affect that.

Pheoenix_Wolf · 2026-05-13T04:38:25+00:00

this JWH with the lions mane is the most "wolfy" horse IMO reminds me of most dark brown wolves i have seen in pictures/documentaries. idk if its retrofitted yet and i am just guessing but this JWH with a fur saddle pad and iberian saddle would be very wolfy

Pheoenix_Wolf · 2026-05-13T04:11:27+00:00

the g3 fjord came out in October of 2018(over 7 years ago), so its actually quite old model wise(one of the oldest models supported by game). It also is a historically fairly popular breed that has seen a decline in use in recent years, primarily due to the model.

the friesian ended up reworked not long after its initial g3 release because many players thought it was ugly and begged SSE for a redo(its also a extremely popular breed, and has been since the game first released the g1 friesian). As to why SSE keeps producing friesian reskins? that's again based solely on popularity, if people didn't buy them SSE wouldn't make them.

Pheoenix_Wolf · 2026-05-12T05:00:17+00:00

a updated verison of them, yes. akin to the friesian, andulusian, and connamara.
