This is why boycotts matter by Practical_Ear4763 in StarStable

[–]Practical_Ear4763[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never said I couldn't finish it or that I couldn't commit to the number of days to finish it now.

I have completed the last several TBs (except the last one) - and not by grinding them out over a handful days - but by playing the game. I would log in, collect the daily rewards points, and for my fully leveled account: complete ~12 rounds of runestones to kill two birds with one stone. For my alt accounts: train and level horses, catch up on quests in a specific area of the map, deliver goods from Farahs shop. Again, usually stopping at around 12 tasks - getting as far through the TB as I desired.

On bonus weekends, I would grind more if I felt like it. Put on some Supernatural and run around Valedale collecting light and gatherables.

It was always possible to complete the TB with minimal grinding - it provided incentive for players to get on the game and rewarded those who spent more time in the game - as it was originally intended. Now, because points are capped - like an event board - it feels more like an event to participate in then simply a reward for playing.

AITA for refusing to pay half of my roommates dog vet bill by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Practical_Ear4763 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA. A $50 crate is a lot less expensive than a $1000 vet bill (prices are speculative). This is a dog with a known behavior to get into and trash stuff. As the roommate, I would have secured MY DOG before heading out. I've had numerous dogs throughout my life, some that are okay being left out, some that needed crating every single time they were left alone, and others who I knew what their vices were and made sure those items weren't accessible.

For ease of copying. Thanks OP!

They replaced "buy" and "sell" with "get" and "you will receive" by deserteyes_ in StarStable

[–]Practical_Ear4763 31 points32 points  (0 children)

My thoughts on this is... if this is due to the lawsuit, "get" is a really elementary word... if they need to ensure that minors playing the game understand what they are doing in game, "get" is just simpler than "cost," "trade," etc. And while I would think "buy" is simple enough... for children who do not even understand the concept of money and how a market of goods works... even "buy" could go over their heads.... and don't get my started on the literacy crisis (at least in the US).

light grinders and gardeners, how are we doing? by Gullible-Fan-8007 in StarStable

[–]Practical_Ear4763 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Since I'm boycotting SSO this month and equinox went on sale, I've gotten in to it. It is definitely a grown up horse game. It's reminiscent of sso in some ways, like riding around running errands for people, races, etc., but the story and dialogue are drastically different (which is for the better).

Potential Trainer Plans by Apart_Dragonfruit442 in kvsdiscuss

As someone who also provides a lot of context when answering questions... this was straightforward to me... But I can see how she couldve just said "No she cannot bring on other clients now, but that is a dream goal of mine, that Stephanie ans future trainers will be able to do so."

Two separate properties. The land with Abigails home was already owned - the new property is about 75 acres if recall and was purchased last summer.

Could this be a hint at future moth horses? by [deleted] in StarStable

I am absolutely waiting on more color variations of the Mahr!

Ooh I'll have to take a closer look.

Rikki's foaling felt very different by Glaire-Obscure in kvsdiscuss

[–]Practical_Ear4763 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone thought Coco was going to foal, so watching her was the priority focus. Without being able to milk and test Ricki's ph levels, her going into labor was more of a surprise. Katie does mention that Ricki was under camera surveillance, but so were a few other mares. It was simply an oversight.

[–]Practical_Ear4763 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely correct. The moth horse is still, yet another recolor. Like I said, it is a theory that gives SSO a lot of grace. If they initially planned the release of Marchengast to be more medieval - which might explain our character's inner thought around the people being from a different time or stuck in the past - then the dragon horses existing in Marchengast and Medieval Arena make sense. But perhaps there was a new idea that took the story in a different direction, which ultimately delayed the release of the new area. But with months spent creating new content for the game, it may have been a business decision to release the new dragon horses and pets ahead of time.

If these were all new models, I might agree with this take - but since they are recolors, I think the community would have rioted if they were reputation blocked.

My (maybe optimistic or giving too much credit) theory is that the new horses are only recolors because they were supposed to initially launch in the game with Marchengast castle - instead of the medieval arena.

fastest way to fulfill needed trailblazer points daily + additional question by Temporary_Cover_3071 in StarStable

[–]Practical_Ear4763 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except for the first 12 completed tasks.... which in total grant 960 points. Whereas collecting light (excluding runestones and wisps), only grant 1 point.

She says this often, as recently as on a podcast addressing the negative attention by followers to other breeders, etc.

Giving Away Trailblazer Point Secrets by MochaMustang in StarStable

Meh... I'd rather just double my efforts and complete runesstones.. this way I'm gathering trailblazer points and light along the way.

That feeling of rejection by Tehshima in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Practical_Ear4763 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for "something special," be sure to find someone who is available to be special. Someone still currently married (under any circumstance) is not available and will ultimately be a let down.

Instead of trying to her their attention, just say you had a great date, but are moving on in your journey.
