Am I the only one who misses the rainbow satin horses?
-
:)) I loved seeing the pretty colors on my satin. I know the white is how it is supposed to look it real life...but I miss my pretty colors. =))
-
Nope, I absolutely loved the look of the old satin. The new one is pretty on some colors, and on some colors I cant even see it. It will never have my heart like the old satin, and as of right now I am debating if it's worth spending the GMTs on it in the future.ID 195859

I agree. that sheen of almost hidden rainbow was lovely, to me most of the new satins look "greasy"
-
Or like balloons! =)) =)) I've seen a few of the BCs that look slightly more 'expanded' than they should. I don't think I'll be buying it anymore. Just sticking to Ice 19 for my color. Not fond of the fact it takes up one of my ice alleles for the look, but it still works.
-
I was only thinking yesterday about how much I missed the old satin from when I first stated. I was actually thinking about if it was worth it to keep putting satin on my foundations anymore.
-
I really miss the old satin as well. @Maribo I feel the same way. It will save me some GMTs.
-
This is really interesting because I actually didn’t like the old satin, but I love the new version and I’ve started adding it to my lines. I especially like the new satin on the Dutch WB BC :))Post edited by RedtailFoxFarm at 2025-01-10 18:26:50

I plan to add satin now that it is more realistic.FogveilFarm #262594Home of Mistwalker Warmblood and Sport Ponies - Top Tier Agouti Promoter Breed

@bluchrystals What BCs do you mean?
We had a post an another server of someone reporting about how weird a weird green tone was in one of their satin horses and how it must be a bug. It was just old satin that had not regenerated. It did unpleasant things to multiple base colors.
Those saying they can't see it are going to have to fight players like annismyrph who think it is too much. :))Post edited by Ammit at 2025-01-10 21:48:44Need to contact me? Read this first.

Let me see if I can find some. It has been a while since I've looked for them.
-
The closest ones I can find are these. Looks like most of them have had some nuance to the way the satin looks. Before they just looked blown up, now they look more sculpted. Appeared to be only on the Freisan BC and heavier on the foals. I, however, can't find any foals to look at yet.

I did know there were a lot of updates getting put in place. Unfortunately, I haven't kept up with all of them.

Wait the same person on Forest who said the old satin looks green posted here that they loved the old satin. There might be some rose-tinted glasses going on here. :))Need to contact me? Read this first.

=)) =)) Possibly!

Nope, not at all. It was me. I have never seen a horse look green with the old satin before that one, and I also said so when you said that it was the old satin doing it. No rose colored glasses at all, I 100% prefer the old satin. Now, if the old satin had to be tweaked to not make that particular color go green, I would have understood it easily. I'm just really sad that all my lines are now something completely different than they have been the 10+ years I have been building them. I don't feel like that is something to laugh at me for.ID 195859

I am not laughing at you. I have to laugh at this frustrating situation so I don't lose my sanity. I've got people saying all kinds of negative things and have to find a way to keep moving forward with my head up so I'm not overwhelmed by this. I apologize that my coping technique felt aimed at you. Not my intentionNeed to contact me? Read this first.

It is inevitable that when something on the game is changed, there will be people who struggle with it. Most of us don't like change, and some find it more difficult than others. As a long term player, I have found that although I often struggle with the changes at first, I usually come round once I get used to them. Occasionally, I don't, but then there are so many new things, too, that I end up not minding too much. Ammit, you have an awesome game - don't mind us, you know best! :)
-
I prefer the new satin as it seems more realistic. I used to have some old satin in my lines and I do remember seeing the odd one that were particularly green or particularly pink. @Maribo I can understand the frustration of building lines with a color you liked and then that color changing to something different. I was glad my old satin horses changed but that is obviously not the case for everyone. I do not have any solution or suggestions to offer, I think it’s a tough situation for all sides and you can’t please everyone.

I loved the old satin! The rainbowy hue was something I very much liked to see, especially on the darker horses. However, I can also understand Ammit's wish for a more real life like satin, since this game is so much like real life, and especially with the new name change. So the new satin (less rainbow hue more glossy) is maybe something I just need to get used to.
However, I was thinking: wouldn't it be possible to have both? This new glossy satin would be the main/default satin, as it is how it is in real life. The older, more impactful rainbowy satin hue could be the 'satin booster' gene or something. That you have to add on to the real life satin to get that rainbow hue. That way players can choose which satin they'd like best.
Just an idea that popped up in my head!
If this new satin stays that is okay too, just something to get used to for me.
Anyhow, compliments for Ammit for letting us have this discussion and taking our feedback into consideration. And ofcourse for continually evolving the game and wanting to make it more life like.HJ1 160524

@Ammit ; I apologize, it was not my intention to be rude. Since the switch I ve been researching "satins" on horses and mostly I find it on the Akhal-Teke and it seems to be most visible on the crestline of the neck, the wither down to the shoulder and along the flank/ hipline.. maybe if the area was reduced some it wouldnt look so odd? And for those who like the really intense shading maybe as MasterStablesMS suggested there could be a "satin booster" kind of like the So Shiny Spray was on hooves?Thanked by 1Ammit

Maybe I’m the odd one out, but I actually love the Satin update. I didn’t use a whole lot of satin in the past purely because of the unrealistic rainbow hue.
Maybe there could be a fantasy satin released in the future that is a new-and-improved rainbow-y hue?
