I have been enjoying playing with the new layout. I find the way traits can be put on and moved to different ponies brilliant.

Obviously there are still quite a few things missing and broken but today is the first day this has been up. I think now the ponies are here that they are lovely, we all knew the changes were coming and to see all my herd updated I really like.

The farming I am still not sure about, its quite a difference from the easy two clicks I used to do on the other one. Plus I don't like that ponies have a breeding amount and you are only allowed a few ponies pregnant at the same time.

What do you guys think?

How long does it take for you guys to migrate? It has been one hour already and my account still haven't migrated.

Im highly displeased with this. They didnt go through with promises they made, such as : Everything (such as traits) will cost gold, so far ive only seen feez. You wouldnt half to brush and feed you ponies everyday.. yes you do. and, i have over 100 ponies. now, because i cant afford the feez to buy the one-click-done ponies i half to go through each one. I quit. you have lost a player!!  because this really REALLY not allowed! Goodbye.

I'm going to have to agree with the ones who have said they didn't like this new setup. I don't care for it at all. The new pony graphics look terrible. They all look sad and depressed and way too skinny. I have to click through WAY too many screens to do something. I'm seriously considering contacting them directly and complaining.

I don't want to farm for food. If I want to play a farming game, I'll go play Farmville. This is supposed to be a pony breeding game. Now it's just a take-care-of-ponies game.

I wish the pony pictures were larger. I have a hard time seeing the traits on them.  The cook and groom helper traits were free so once I did that quest I can do that with two clicks. Could the farm traits be free if you had a farm before and a certain amount of fairy gold?

I don't remember ever hearing traits were FREE. They did say all traits would be available for gold. Which in my account they are each for gold & feez. So that is correct. Re-check your stores to see if they are if think it is different.


As for the care, I don't remember seeing them say there was no tend the ponies. I was pretty sure they said there would be no more buying care items. Which we are not doing. So, that is correct from what I understood of their previous announcements. Plus, the trait sets needed for the assistants are being earned through the quests. That is pretty awesome I think. Just a few minutes of running through the game play first day & we can mass click to care for the ponies. No breeding requirements & endless days of earning the care tools. I didn't have to do more than 5 ponies for direct grooming & feeding, & that was to finish that quest. Not bad.

Breeding at the alter will bring up the quests for building the nursery to get babies. Players with babies coming may want to breed a new pair just to get that quest up.

I do remember them saying the fountain was going to be removed since health points don't exist.

As for gold I have almost 500 first day. That is almost a whole trait's worth so I am pretty pleased how fast tah is coming. If it continues that trend I'll be able to buy about 20 traits a month off that without having to spend real money.

I do have to say I wish the pony's ID images were a little larger. They are hard to see the ponies at the size they are. Maybe 15-20% bigger would be nicer.

I don't like the mass amount of pop-up windows much either. One pop up to a function is plenty. More is just too excessive & easy to lose & get confused.

I love the function of book marking, not only on the Medium toolbar, but also by shrinking a pop-up with the >| button. Sends it to the side. lets me bookmark ponies while on. Nice for traiting & breeding matches.

Friendship tree you are the bane of my existence. Where are you! You are cruel for not being obvious. ~ Okay I got a friendship bar after building a nursery. Breed a pony at the Alter of love to get that quest. to show, those that are stuck on the same thing.

I really don't know why you guys are complaining about half the stuff you are. Most of the stuff you guys are freaking out about is covered and solved once you finish the introduction quests.

You CAN one click take care of ponies. You just need to take care of five ones separately first to get the traits you need to do that. And that's not hard since you can quick click through things, you don't have to close the pony window to open another one.

Growing food is a hassle, but there's supposedly a trait set to take care of that for you. Whether it's free or not remains to be seen. But since it doesn't cost gold to plant and there's no come back in 15 like in farmville, I'm pretty much okay with it.

Traits cost EITHER gold or feez. Not both.

The love altar in the village is where the stallion list is. If you want to see other player's ponies you just have to click where it says 'my ponies' on the pink side and change that to ALL and other player's ponies will be there. Then just specify that you want stallions.

I don't mind the change overly much, but there are a few ones that I'm a tiny bit miffed about.
-The set number of breedings for a pony. What the heck is up with that? If I'm breeding for a certain color, I'm going to blow through that number ridiculously fast.

-some of the re-designs are really, really lame looking and the animation on some of them is terrible. Feline, water and fire ponies, I'm looking at you. Though I do adore the air, love and unicorn ones. Not sure about the pegasus or celestial yet.

- What's with some of the trait re-desgins? In particular the fireman hoof one? The old flame design looked simply awesome on my white body, bright red maned pony, now that it's turned from flames into blue boots, it...looks awkward on her. And also some of the traits just don't look good. Like the chocolate one I put on my love pony. The vanilla swirl which fit him fine and dandy in V1 is all over the place in V2.

-hoof colors. What. the. heck. why couldn't they stay linked to body color or link them to mane color, why did they pick eye color? Green hooves don't look good on a purple bodied and blue maned pony.

The rest such as space issues I'm pretty okay with. I don't breed as much as I used to.

So far I am really enjoying the new version, I think the ponies look great and the new interaction and quests are nice. I am really happy with it :)

Hmm, I agree with himeblue, I too want to see the ponies bigger. For me this game was mainly about aestethics, creating nice and ballanced looking ponies and then going through the pages and looking at them, that helped me relax at work, feasting my eyes... well that's gone. I don't really care for interactive stuff, I'm not at all sure what to make of this and I'm quite sad actually.

So far, I like it!  I was actually looking forward to V2 - apparently, one of the few, according to the massive number of V2-hating I saw going on in the previous forum - and it's been great!  I was a little upset that it just switched over with no warning, I must say, but only because it was a shock to find myself on a totally different website.

I agree with other members when they say the ponies could be a little larger, especially the foals; they look like they are completely adorable, but they're really too small to tell!

Anyhow, I don't have any major complaints.  The quests were all straightforward, and once I figured out the locations of things (I'm directionally challenged) it wasn't hard.  And I must say, the new fairy - Blueberry? - is a lot easier on the eyes than the previous one.  And there's no 'broken-wrist' look going on, either!

Sorry to all the players that hate it; it's your loss!

My two cents so far.

I like that my inventory shows me the traits that I own that are already on ponies and which ponies they're on.  Also that I can sort the traits by type, like having it show me just the coats or just the hooves.

I like that I can marry my own ponies to each other.

I like that I can add comments to ponies.  (Go to a pony's page, click on the arrow at the bottom to open a menu, the farthest icon on the right shows a speech bubble, click on it to add or read a comment.)

I like that I can sort my ponies different ways, like by level or alphabetically.

I don't mind the limits on breeding.  I'm more of a trainer than a breeder.
I was looking forward to 3 foals that were on the way and am disappointed they were lost in the move.  Still, I lost a lot more ponies when PS disappeared. 
I'm only a few ponies away from my 1000 pony limit, but I can save up gold to increase it.
I hope training becomes available soon.

I was halfway through the grasslands.  I hope the grasslands come back and that I get credit for what I already had finished.

My next wild pony is due in about 3 weeks.  It will be interesting to see what happens.

I had a level 30 fountain with 150 drinks.  I would be nice if there was some sort of compensation for it.

I would like to be able to see my ponies' ancestry and lineage.

It would be nice to know my ponies' birth dates.

I wish the ponies were a little bigger, so they'd be easier to see.

I'll be sticking around.  (Not throwing a tantrum and storming off in a huff (or even a minute and a huff (gotta love Groucho)))

I've found that I actually the water ponies a lot better in this version.  I never bred them before aside from trait purposes, but I think they're actually really cool now!  I think the only ponies I wouldn't breed any more are the fire.  I absolutely love the pegasus, love, feline, and air ponies, and while I may not be as crazy about them I'm not upset about the changes in the celestial.  (Still miss the original earth ponies, but the new ones are good with some accessory combinations.)  :D
