WolfCreekRanch New user experience ongoing thoughts

Hi WolfCreekRanch is the new user event account for WolfRanch #53949 :)
Edit to add in not sure why it posted with my main account name as I'm signed into the event account.
1.) Pointed creates have of course increased significantly and that will help a lot. I also like how it now clearly says how much a horse automatically earns per day and it's lifetime payout. That helps me think of how important some horses are over others, and I think if one of the first achievements was hbs to look at the beginners guide that would really drill in how important pointed creates are as well as how the games economy ECT works.
2.) I'm not sure if it's pushed enough but I didn't really understand the forum or things to look for, but the forum can be advantages when starting your program. For example I decided I wouldn't buy the starter pack ECT and buy my upgrade with IVs. By knowing to check the forum while collecting rank specials I can see who is offering what in an ISO and get enough from that to buy my upgrades the first week instead of weeks later, and pay for quality studs vs grinding plain or low quality horses to auction like I've done in the past.
3.) Why is Appy hour not talked about more! It took me over a month to find out about it and I would have loved my main game pointed creates to have that little extra color lol
4.) The best thing so far was the pinatas for GMTs, and the special genes that we could buy with them. This was an amazing chance that helps anyone who can't buy the genes with real money. This could be super beneficial even with the free genes like Nexus. As on mesa I couldn't find a homozygous Nexus draft for a couple of months. I had to create my main mare and someone eventually sold me a stud, but this month I was finally able to create a stud that matches my program completely.
Notes:
More ways to earn hbs like through achievement tasks could be beneficial for start up. Testing I didn't see as important when I first began playing so maybe making one per each test a paid achievement? As well as sell & buy a horse through the forum though not sure if it'd be possible to regulate.
Final thoughts: I love the improvements made it was significantly more enjoyable and easier to get started. You don't have nearly as much down time as I originally had starting the game, and that helps keep people logging in daily. Of course so does the Rank specials. Add in the GMTable special genes, and now people can have those special horses they may not have been able to get otherwise. Honestly kept me so involved trying to make enough to buy some of those rare genes, and making unique horses.

Want to add the improvement on hbs in achievements and extra information added to the create a horse image is fantastic! Though I wanted to mention an idea I had about testing horses. If the goal like keeping show horses is to test your stock maybe having tested stock have a slightly higher base sell price? What I mean by this is if I go and test each horse fully I spend the majority of what that horse sells for in auction. So when I was first struggling for money I wouldn't test just go off parents or appearance (to see if I want to test anything on the foal), and ones that didn't catch my attention or were creates with no points I wouldn't test at all. I just didn't have the extra money to keep up with fully testing (minus breeding advice) if I wanted to continue buying or breeding. So if maybe horses and foals that have at least two or three tests could sell for a base price of 3000hbs in auction where untested sell for the 2500? Just an idea :-?
If monthly games for GMTs is a regular occurrence I would suggest the ability to buy barns with GMTs instead of just IVs. Of course keep them equivalent sizes, but just incase you won a GMT & need a barn more than a color change.
Another thing I noticed is that the starter pack for $1.99 I jumped to buy originally, but when you get up to 100k hbs achievements the 25k hbs doesn't seem really worth paying for. I think by putting that at 100k would keep people buying it as normal (though I don't know if it's changed sense the achievement hb increase). Though I didn't need to spend real money for this account I was able to get everything I needed and started off. Helping give the same need to play I got only after buying rare genes in my original account. Hope that all makes sense :)

@ammit sorry I'll fix that! I must have miss spoke in my sleep deprived state when putting that edit in (as I randomly edit in thoughts when I think of something). I should have said advantages or beneficial I'm not sure why my brain thought that was positive in the moment. My mistake DX
