Did you participate in our new membership experiment? Starting tomorrow I will start going through the feedback and sending out thank yous. Please make sure you get feedback in.

I will be sending thank you gifts to the account listed in your signature of the account that posted the feedback. If there is no account id# in the signature the account that posted it gets it. If there is multiple id#s the first one listed gets it.

Posting a request for thank yous to go to a certain place here or in the prior post WILL NOT be honored. I can not possibly keep track of that. If it is not in your signature the account you posted on gets the thank you.

You can edit your signature by clicking your name anywhere on the forum to get to your profile page.

Everyone is welcome to continue posting feedback after this, it is highly appreciated, I just can not guarantee those posts will get thank you gifts.

ETA: Please post your feedback in the New User Experience section of the forum. That is the only place I will be posting thank yous out of.

So I can only play on my phone and it will not let me click on any of the settings options (even on the full site). Is there anything I can do?

Ammit · Jun 29, 2022 10:56 PM

On the desktop version of the site you just need to move your window to the popup window to put in your signature info.

Or edit all your posts to have the id# at the bottom of it.

WolfCreekRanch · Jun 30, 2022 8:22 AM

Yeah it won't let me click on it. Thanks for responding,and thanks for the contest's this month :)

Lallyhop · Jun 30, 2022 11:16 AM

Maybe try a different browser app? Or borrow someone's computer for a few minutes?

WolfRanch · Jun 30, 2022 1:54 PM

@lallyhop I live out in the country so sadly can't. Luckily it's not too big of a deal to me at this point what account, as I really like the onyx pretzel twist I ended up being able to GMT in the new account lol

I created a puppet account and logged in most days (I think I missed one or two). I ran into a problem with the early achievements (creating horses), as I ran out of money and had to let it sit for a bit. I did purchase the upgrade, so that helped with the money situation. One suggestion would be to make it easier to win the creation lottery as a new account.

I only bred one foal to meet one of the achievements, mostly because it's an event month and I was busy with my main account. I did enjoy the achievements and they really helped when it came to growing. My only issue was remembering to get on and win an auction :).

All in all, the new system works pretty well to encourage new players to keep logging in. It'll still take a bit to get into a comfortable place where you can start buying barns and the like, but that's part of the fun.

Please post your feedback in the New User Experience section of the forum. That is the only place I will be posting thank yous out of. :)

Ammit · Jun 30, 2022 9:46 PM

You can also just post with your WolfRanch account instead.

WolfRanch · Jun 30, 2022 10:06 PM

@Ammit I believe that's what I did and than just made edits to it as needed :) thank you!

Riverstone24 · Jun 30, 2022 11:06 PM

I did miss a few days since i get really busy in life but i think the new system works pretty well in my opinion. the achievements are pretty easy to work with as you play and give a good challenge and will encourage new players to keep logging in :)
it'll really make them feel nice when they finish them and get their bonuses!

Just as @DevilsParadise said, It'll still take a bit to get into a comfortable place where you can start buying barns and expanding your herds/projects. but it's pretty worth it. :x

Say hello to Brand New Day, going to be sending out straws from him soon. :x

Brand New Day

and his mini-me who I will be sending out to the user I think gave the most useful and insightful feedback.

Brand New Dawn

Drafts26 · Jul 1, 2022 6:11 AM

They are gorgeous!

Thunder · Jul 1, 2022 6:25 AM

Love it

Riverstone24 · Jul 1, 2022 6:48 AM

Oooo! they are gorgeous! :-O

WinterWind · Jul 1, 2022 7:21 AM

Where do we post it at again?

CWScowgirl87 · Jul 1, 2022 1:03 PM

How are they brindle but not chimeras?

StormwoodFarm · Jul 1, 2022 2:47 PM

They're gorgeous!
@CWScowgirl87 Homozygous DFP1 horses are brindles.

WolfRanch · Jul 1, 2022 3:47 PM

Lovely <3

AHayesHorses · Jul 1, 2022 3:54 PM

Ooo! I can't wait to get a straw! He's stunning!

ChapelHillFarm · Jul 1, 2022 5:58 PM

Oh my goodness, they are gorgeous.

MariaChapinFarm3 · Jul 1, 2022 11:59 PM

Thought I'd be able to fully participate but alas life got in the way :( was able to post one entry but that's about it haha. I LOVE the new system, and I love that you updated the description for when you out a horse up for sale- that was one of the main things I was thinking about.

MariaChapinFarm3 · Jul 2, 2022 12:01 AM

They are absolutely stunning ammit! ♡

Ammit · Jul 2, 2022 2:11 AM

How this will work is I will be going through all the pages one by one reading all the posts and making notes. When I am done with your post I will send out some gifts. This will take probably a few days to get through. I am also keeping track of what I think the best posts are. Once I am done I will go back to the best threads and award some extra special prizes.

While the spirit is appreciated there is no need to make a thank you reply. I keep track of what posts are done by my name being the last responder. If you post a thank you, I will respond with just "." so I can keep track that your post is done.

You are welcome to continue posting feedback. I am not sure what if any gifts I will get a chance to send out after this but I hope I am able to.

Ktarpey · Jul 3, 2022 9:11 AM

If we post extra feedback, would you like to have it here or on our own puppet thread?

Not that this is really new user experience feedback honestly, but just thinking as I am going through auction horses. I realized how nice it might be if there was a way to tag or sort bids and horses we've won at auction. The bid watcher is incredible but I'm willing to bid more on a young pointed show horse than I would be on a show horse over 17, for example. If there was a way for me to sort my bids then I'd have an easier time knowing which ones to drop and which to continue bidding on.

The ability to keep them tagged after the auction is over is less important, it would just be really nice to have them slightly pre-sorted so I can quickly remember who I was planning to spay/neuter as show stock and who was going to be breeding stock.

Ammit · Jul 3, 2022 10:15 AM

Like I said in the original post you are welcome to continue posting new user experience feedback. Please post it in the forum area for it.

Ammit · Jul 6, 2022 12:38 AM

I have sent out the first round of gifts to everyone who made a post after June 6th. If you made a later feedback post and I missed it let me know. There are a lot of posts and I am looking for ones where I am not the most recent poster. If I needed to comment on your post for some reason it may have gotten missed.

If you made a post at the very beginning of the event and then never followed up I send my thank yous for joining in but won't be sending a gift since, well you never followed up. No big deal if you were unable to life happens. :)

Of all the threads posted these 4 really jumped out to be as insightful:
https://hj2.huntandjump.com/forum/discussion/86235/blaxkdiamond2-thoughts#Item_2
https://hj2.huntandjump.com/forum/discussion/86454/a-comment-thread-for-my-own-thoughts#Item_25
https://hj2.huntandjump.com/forum/discussion/86310/ladyhawke-user-experience#Item_9
https://hj2.huntandjump.com/forum/discussion/86255/bv039s-new-experience-log#Item_7

I think I found BlaxkDiamond's post the most helpful. I am sending them this clone of Brand New Day as thank you.

Brand New Dawn

For the creators of the other three posts, I will be sending them each a candy coated sea pony. :)

BlaxkDiamond · Jul 25, 2022 10:56 AM

I have been extremely busy so didn’t see this at all until I stumbled across Dawn in my barn just now. I was very confused thinking where did you come from?

So a very belated Thank you! It was very fun and enjoyable to go looking for things that could use improvement, and providing feedback. I love that you are always looking to see how you can make the game better. :x
