anyway, merry christmas.
and thanks for letting us know, shinsengumi.

I'm quite dissapointed in this, not that I dislike the traits or anything but would've preffered a celestial/pegasus you know? Mean we already got 3 sets just from the advent calander itself not to mention some people already have one or two of them only to recieve more traits...
Wouldn'tve been so bad if we had gotten a trait pack from our wishlist or something, I'm glad weçe recived something for christmas and they did all this for us, but can't say I'm happy with it

Really disappointed about not getting the ponies. I already told my sister I was getting them and the trait I got from the chest is ugly. Not to be ungrateful but I was more excited about the ponies than any of the traits.

me too, I rather have the ponies then the traits. We already recived 5 sets from the advent alone, really hoped they'd throw in a pony or two I'm happy with the traits but you know think 5 is just overdoing it

Ah no, you didn't waste your time. People who haven't opened all the 24 doors of the calendar just recieved the big Christmas Chest and not the special exlusive set in the inventory. For getting "everything" you had to open all 24 doors. :)

And if you're disappointed by the missing ponies I shouldn't tell you that two years ago the players even received pure pegasus ponies - a couple which was fully traited. So well... last year we just had the pegs and people complained because there were less traits. Now people complain because of the *missing* ponies. So each way we put it, some will always be unhappy with the result.

It's no problem getting a pegasus pony if you often play the memory-game in the Oraculum Stellaris / violet tent in the village. Personally I could buy about 40 eggs if I wished to 'cause I've collected so many gold coins (and don't even play on a regular basis)... but I'm not interested at all 'cause I already have some pegasus ponies and don't want to waste the coins for "a simple peg", which will be anything but pure or misty. So again - a different point of view. For all the players who are here since two years at least, pegasus ponies or stars aren't that special anymore and they rather go for traits. New players - feeling out of reach of getting one of those two special races - would rather have a pony. Again... each way you put it, some will be unhappy.

If I might dare to give you some advice: collect coins for a star, choose a female, x-breed it with a pegasus stallion of another player and you will automatically receive a pegasus foal. 95% of star-pegasus-crossbreeds are pegasus (stars are regarded as the most noble race and are therefore hard to breed - dunno who had that idea years ago).

Don't be too disappointed. Appreciate the gifts, trait your ponies and give the oraculum a try. It's free, you don't have to invest money at all and you'll all earn your pegs and stars within 2-3 weeks if you play regulary.

*crawls into bed now after having a pain of a Christmas Eve - almost 3 a.m. by now, ouch*

If you have more questions, please be patient with answers. I won't be around the next hours and the admins have their day off today, too. So nothing more official can be said within the next 30 hours. :)

1st of all: if any of what i say below sounds agressive, i promise it was NOT meant to look agressive. :'(
2nd: why are that race of ponies called "celestial" on the english version and "star" on every single other version? o_O USA is creative with everything but a name for their country, impressive!

@shinsengumi: i was saying that it was a waste, because i almost never get in my alt account, only in my main, where i already have access to both the pegasus and celestial black markets. and since i created my alt after V2 was released... and getting the female celestial: that's what i always recomend to everyone who asks me how to get the special ponies XD. i'm kind of rusty in the memory game, so i couldn't manage to get a single gold coin and much less the 30 needed for a celestial not to mention i don't get along with races against time(wich that memory game demands)... x_X and that simom game thing: *panic mode on* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :'( i already lack the patience to do the 4 steps for the extra 10 gold/day in the advent calendar game, and this year, even when i had patience to get a chest i wasn't able to get a single key. *panic mode off*
and the card-guessing game: *hystericaly laughs to avoid crying* let's say i lack luck. xP

and lol if we'd get a couple of celestials born with exclusive traits each, i would personaly scold anyone who'd complain at that XD even if the person would be unlucky to get only males, he/she could still access the black market to get more females and then get pegasus xP

by the way, shinsengumi: have a nice recovery from the christmas eve! have sweet christmas dreams and a happy new year. i hope you were able to eat tons of tasty meat and have a nice digestion XD
ps: i wish the same for everyone else reading this. and everyone who did not read this too XD

Ooops, sorry for messing up stars/celestials - in our German version of the game the translation for their name would be "stars" so I didn't think any further. My fault. ^.^

Well... no. You need to own at least 20 pegasus ponies to access the black market to buy more of the same race.
Same for celestials.
It's not enough to own one or two... you really have to collect 20. ^.^

I WASTED 225 coins, instead of using it for buying the gems I realy want.

I'm sorry to hear that, felidae, but it's not Feerik's fault that you "wasted" the coins. If anything is not running smoothly or the way it should, don't react too quickly and rather wait for explainations or bug-fixing. It sadly happens quite often that the game confuses players with not working as expected. It's never been different (I can tell after nearly 5 years of playing).
After all you have some new free space for new ponies in your barn which isn't the worst. *tries to cheer you up*

For the pegasus/celestials again: there won't be another opportunity to obtain these races. We had to wait over a year after the release of V2 to get the oracle-building in the village. In V1 we had to do quests on the prairie which were a pain for many players, just to receive a celestial (and you were even unable to chosse the gender)... and you had to collect ponies of certain races, gender and number to be able to buy a pegasus. The quests got more tricky the more pegasus you tried to buy so you were forced to breed massivly or to spend much gold to buy the missing ponies requested. It wasn't that easy back then either and because the races are supposed to remain *special* Feerik won't make it easier for sure...

And thanks, darkjewels - I at least caught some sleep and I'm prepared for even more meat now (unfortunately I forgot were I've put my scales... - lol).

I know you're not blaming anyone. I just tried explaining.

I do pretty much the same with the card game.  I have no hope of winning gold abstracts on the timed games.  I log in at least twice a day to use as many guesses as I can.  It takes me about 3 months to win enough abstracts to get a celestial.  Fortunately, when I made my side account about 3 months ago, I immediately started working towards a celestial just in case the advent calendar didn't give ponies this year.  At the time I thought I was just being paranoid, but it worked out.  I have a female celestial egg in my incubator now.

i hope you remember where the scales are XD lol

Noooo, I rather keep forgetting! *rofl*

And though English isn't my mother tongue I sometimes might misinterpret a statement. So we shouldn't worry for making something more clear while discussing (as long as we can make things clear everything's perfectly fine).

Got the Feerik accessory from the chests so I'm happy happy happy :D
