DBZgeek2000 no, but if you are about to fail, simply relog and try again😊 This is also helpful when the soulriding tasks are in Mistfal or any place where they are almost impossible to win. Simply relog and they will be somewhere else😊
I don't care about the horse XP getting lost, I only buy horses when I want a horse, not when I need a new to train 😂 But I totally understand this point of view!
Together with the Soul Riding and all the other races in game, I've managed in just two weeks to level 6 of my horses. Cause now a horse only takes three days to go from level 1 to 15 if you do all races, the soul riding tests and quests (and finding the animals around Starshine Ranch because, dear God they give a lot of exp too). Excluding the pony and Icelandic races 'cause of all horses not being able to them. I would say Star Stable wins this time >.>
Yes, just what I thought. It's great design overall to keep players interested while making time for developers to create more content but I wish they were more careful in placing the missions. Like, just the other day I had a calm the horse mission or whatever it's called and I was like "oh yeah, this horse runs up a steep hill without any problems and I take a dangerous fall if I follow it which I'm supposed to do... right, very well placed npc horse pathing..."
When they announced an amazing free reward I was like "Please don't give us a horse". Guess what, they are giving us a horse. I'm not really happy with that but the mechanic itself is really fun and it's a good idea to keep us engaged and log in every day!
Wait, you didn't want a feee horse? I think you're the first person I've heard this from 😅😅 I'm personally not that much of a horse person myself (I play the game for the story and world I've grown up with) but the horse was pretty cool and you really have to work for it so I was like hey cool! Besides, I liked the idea of having another main story related horse. We have our starter and that's it, and it's nuce that we're gonna get another horse that feels as special and important (hopefully we can use it in special quests in the future)
Mm I wasn't too excited either, I wouldn't have minded if we could have customized the horse ourselves or got a random horse chosen from a set. It annoys me that everyone gets the same one but I mean this is SSO's first time doing this, they can improve and most ppl want new horses anyway and since its free, its bound to get people online each day
@@eleanornightwalker I've seen a few people not enjoying the idea but yeah I'm probably in the minority XD But it's not like I hate the horse or anything, it's just not the type of reward I personally find exciting. I don't even buy horses that often (3-4 a year?) because just like you said, I play for the story. But the Soul Riding itself is great and I'm really having fun every day :D
@@yuria_nihilisten this is really making me curious - what kind of reward would you have wished for?

@@eleanornightwalker Frankly, I'm not sure. The horse is indeed a big reward which would be hard to be topped. I really love getting tack, but sadly the tack we receive as rewards is often statless. Soul Riding fixes that since we do receive a Druid tack set in the reputation "checkpoints". But if I'm allowed to get carried away, I'd have loved to receive a completely new asset, maybe a unique model pet, or a completely new clothing item, or maybe even a new mechanic? For example if you reached a certain reputation level your horse would unlock a skill that you'd be able to use from now on! I think it would be neat since your rider progress would have a direct impact on your gameplay ;)
for me soul riding is boring, i prefer playing from time to time and now i have to log in every day for about 15 minutes and do the same missions all the time, the only thing i enjoy is training my horses in this way 😂 because i have so many horses at level 1-10

Yes i understand you. I did the soulriding on the 2th it came out and did it till 30.000 but then i just got bored and lazy so i gave my account info to someone so they could do it to me. Sadly that person sold my Rainbow horse (Which i luckily didnt spend money on cuz i had gotten the Sc trough the weeks)But it still hurt.
Wow, I was just thinking about this the other day! I came up with the same idea about keeping people busy, and not having to release new content for a while. I definitely agree with this vid.
I haven't fail any missions cuse this work as the regular quest, so if you quit while you in active quest, it reset and you can start again. It's not a cheat, not a bug just the game mechanic, so you can start the missions.
You're right Eleanor. I honestly agree. My positive effects are that we reach & finish milestones + we get rewards for all of them. And the negative effects are that some missions are quite confusing and almost impossible. And that it takes us like 3 months to finish Soul Riding. I am on 108,000 Reputation points right now. And some people are still trying to get to 90,000. Those are the inactive players. I agree with you. I also had fallen into the trap. But I honestly do not care. I can waste the Horse EXP if I want. I will buy Horses when I want to. Not immediatly. I maxed out 4 Horses by doing Soul Riding. I missed 20 days of Soul Riding in the past. But it is not stopping me from continuing and enjoying Soul Riding. I adore the video by the way. It brings some realisation to Soul Riding. Keep up the good work! 😍
Honestly I have to agree. I really enjoyed the dino valley archaeology and would dread having to do the soul riding but I still do it every day to get it done.
When I first heard that we were getting the rune runner horse, my first thought was "Is our starter horse going to die and we will have to use the rune runner horse"
I kinda hate this move from SSO cause it just stepped all over the effort i put into the reputation quests for the circles Wouldn't have minded if for us who had maxed the circle reputations to have been given a head start with already having so many points 😔
I don’t care about buying horses, I am just here for the fun and if I buy horses, I would have already saved my sc. Video suggestions: Alex’s growth and development after Elizabeth’s death. I think it was very rushed and pushed aside for the Catherine stuff. Review Catherine’s diary.
I'm mostly like that too. I don't spend star coins on anything because I'm saving up in case there's a horse I want. I usually don't buy horses, although I like the exclusive ones such as the wilds. But in this case I really felt like I couldn't waste the horse exp so I suddenly got interested in buying horses because I needed more of them to train 😅
v j Yes! I would want to see that too, since they made Alex as a leader now. But to be honest, I don’t know if it fits me well, since she’s still stubborn and let’s the enemy taunt her, like she let with Darko, which doesn’t fit to me for her being the leader, but maybe she’ll eventually stop and release it, we’ll have to see😄 I personally enjoyed the Catherine’s memories, but it’s true, that I waited some epic ending, like she’ll teach us how to use our powers, or told us, why exactly she died, or maybe a part with Alex and other soulriders, that would make a lot of progress for the sisterhood, since I feel, like it’s not stated anywhere so much, instead we got how the whole thing doesn’t makes us friends, when in reality, it made us befriend them, so yeah. But I think they’re working on another storyline quests, while adding something smaller to the game, or so😄
Also, I think giving soul riding is a good idea to keep players busy with the rewards with lore in them and little bits of info. It’d stop people complaining about no story quests
I do really agree with you! It is a very clever way to keep us online everyday for a really long time because who wouldn't like a free horse, right? On the other hand I agree that it won't be so unique as everybody will have the same, so it would have been cool to maybe add some randomize features to the horse (idk maybe choose markings, coats...) Also the difficult missions and the daily chance are a way to strecht that period of time and to trigger us to log in the next day to keep your points up and unlock rewards. So once sso is having us online every day, they keep releasing new updates such as horses (too many of them lately), new areas, weekly missions, etc, for you to see and to maybe reawake on you a desire of wanting more somehow, or to keep you hooked, because as you are online every day you keep seeing all of these updates and eventually you would like to interact more than just with the sould riding, and probably that would make you buy star coins, special offers etc, if it makes sense. Also the fact that now you can level up horses so fast creates the need of having to buy new ones, specially for the people that plays that way. However I have fallen into the trap too hahahh as I am online everyday for the soul riding and I wish I had more star coins to buy all those new horses. So this move has really worked on me to awaken again the desire to play sso, because I have been more than a year off the game, and I never ever spent money on it (only the lifetime star rider, and during quarantine, and I've been playing since 2015 lol) but I don't think I'll ever buy star coins, so a free horse is the best thing that can happen to me hahhaa otherwise I just keep saving those weekly 100sc or waiting for redeem codes.
haha I have opposite complains, I find the missions becoming to easy and repetitive. Haha I'd like it if they became harder or something else like fighting someone else with magic spells. I'm still grateful that sso gave us this tough, it's something else and you feel more connected to everything storyline quest related.
If ur about to fail a mission, just log off and log back on and u can try it again and it will be in a new location to the last time! Hope this helps anyone who may not have known this x
Unpopular opinion: I love soul riding, it is actually quite fair as well. We don’t need a free horse, but if you want it, you can get it for free by doing daily quests (which we have already done before; remember when we had to build the bridge and it took forever?). However, I don’t think they are pushing us to buy more horses. Once I run out of horses to train, I will be fine wasting my horse XP.
Great video! Couldn't agree more. I laughed at myself also when I realized what they were up to with all that XP! Starshine ranch too (: But I'm with you also in that I don't mind either because I'm having more fun than I've had in AGES! I hope they open up more lands (PLURAL) before we run out of soul riding quests. One thing I don't like is that some of the new tack isn't able to be worn by the older models of horses. Not cool.
Yeah! I definitely agree about the tack part, bc some of my older model horses are ones that I use quite often, and not being able to use any of the new stuff for them kinda sucks ;-;
Actually, there is a bad point with these quests... They are buying time for themselves to create with less pressure of deadlines, and many people have realised everything you said in your video ; so people are expecting something huge coming up before the end of the year or begining of next year. And they better get it right because then people are gonna get really angry if it doesn't reach expectations, and some will probably leave. And we don't forget we didn't have many of the events that were meant to come during the spring, for example Jorvik Stables' opening, Easter, the Rainbow festival and the world in the clouds. So yes, it is pretty smart from the SSO team, but it is also really risky. I am not defending them here, I do see your point and I agree, but it is also a risky bet on their part. Hopefully they will get it right and we'll be very happy to have waited for so long ;)
I’m just using my starter horse which was maxed out over a year ago. I don’t really care about the horse xp or the free horse at the end, I was just interested in the quests in it. And it’s fun. Sure beats the other daily quests. Lol
for like half a year now they have events that give you lots of horse XP so you are more likely to buy a new horse. like that time you could get your horse level 15 without riding it if you used al of your christmas points. or races that give you 1500 horse XP....
i never thought of it like that i just got to were i can work to getting the free horse a couple weeks ago and have leveled up 4 horses at level 10 so far. i do have 47 horses to train and i will most likely go threw them all or most of them as soon as its done than ill have to train my free horse i get from them. i need 800 more to be able to do missions.
Omg I am early I really love ur vids ur the only english you tuber who does star academy and I love ur sporilar and theories please make more vids.😀ur amazing.
I agree that this is a smart business move. Players are logging on more, more people are buying Star Coins, no one is complaining about having nothing to do (except newbies, who still have a lot to do regardless), it gives them time to focus on coming up with the next section of story quests and other features! I think this is a win- win- win situation (except for our wallets, mind you).
I kind of see it as a win-win situation regardless, because we don't HAVE to buy star coins, but you know, we kind of want to anyways 😅😅😅 I mean there are people who are short on money and it's good that they aren't encouraged to buy anything. The team just gives us a buch of horse exp and leaves the rest up to us :P
I really hope the training and everything stays after we get the horse - the druid training is my motivation for doing regular training, since it now only takes 3 days to fully train your horse lol.
Hey, gained reward feels better. And those books, and those powder thingies you can only buy during seasonal events (those that costs SC btw) you get them for fre in 3 of each. Raindeer 3 types, all are 9 powders. Flaming hoof, zombie mummy, skieleton. Flower, sparkles, butterflies. So much powders to get 🙉
@@randomvideosandstuff9625 none of that stuff is interesting tho (yes ik this is really late) the whole idea is boring i dont know anyone who reads the lore books as they hold no value and the rewards aren’t that good tbh. Especially ruin runner.
@@Mirani. raindeer powders are going to be gone. This year... Ehhh, sso cuts out event content, santawas placed in mall, not in villige. Valentines event cut out, looking for gold, chasing rainbows for rewards, cut out. No free horse can fix it (on 10th b-day, it's going to be ugly anyway).
I never realized all this ! However, it was a good smart move because it's beneficial for Star Stable and not everyone would buy more star coins to buy more horses, it means that we have a choice and that we can do whatever we want with our money ! For me, I have NO SINGLE horse to train anymore and I don't need to buy more (saving my sc), I do Soul Riding, daily quests and races every day to earn shillings, even with a max leveled horse (obviously) so I don't get bored. I really like the Soul Riding quests and I agree with you with the point that it's a challenge when it's difficult. I failed only one or two missions at the start, but never again. I don't understand people, they say quests are too easy but when it becomes harder, they complain... But you say that Soul Riding would keep us busy till August, I don't agree. I calculated for myself. I'm about 71 000 XP and till 120 000 XP, I may have the Rune Runner on July 10th. Perhaps I'm wrong but as I said I failed only one or two missions so I find this weird... I love your vids, keep going, it's interesting ! :D
Hmm, maybe I miscalculated the exact date 🤔🤔 but the point of us being busy until august was more on a general level, because a lot of players will miss a few days and fail a few missions. The team won't have to deal with a bored community until a lot of people have finished it and gotten tired of the game again, and I estimate that those complaints will stay away until around august
I was really into it at first and never wanted to skip a day. But then I found out that for some people, there's a bug which resets the Soul Riding two times a day, so they get the rewards two times faster. So that kinda stopped me from enjoying it as much. I still think it's cool tho, finally something that makes me log on more than once per week.
Haha! Yeah, that's right! But for me, that's not a problem, because I have 98 horses XD... So having 4 horses trained is not a lot. :) ♥ Thank you for sharing the "theory" with us!
I JUST BOUGHT A JORVIK PONY TO TRAIN FOR SOUL RIDING AAAAAAA but I didn’t buy star coins haha now I’m broke tho edit: I hope they’re working on main story quests or updated areas now that they have a few months of time to make small updates
I don’t really mind them getting people to buy more SC either. They’re clearly a small, low budget studio who need the money. That’s why they take so long to release things.
I have 93 horses and I’ve only maxed 20 of them so I didn’t rly fall into there trap because I finished it on October 4th or 5th and I didn’t even max a horse in Druid training or missions
To be fair, you could do soul riding with a fully trained horse if you really didn’t want to buy new horses, but yeah, it’s a really smart move. I don’t mind though, I enjoy the soul riding and hopefully, we could have some fun main quests with this rune runner since everyone can get that horse for free.
i'm gonna say i'm around like 82000 and i've maxed out 6 of my horses already. but once I finish maxing the horse i'm riding I'm just doing the missions for reputation and i've maxed all my horses once it's done, also i've maxed more horses because I have been finding lost animals everyday as well which is like 1200 xp? (300xp per animal yes?)
I understand your point and its great if people still enjoy it, but honestly i have gotten pretty bored of soul riding lately bc its just so repetitive, idk maybe just me 😕 and im not gonna do and spend time on something i dont enjoy even if theres rewards at the end
I have like 12 horses to train so I am really not complaining xD I have trained about 4 horses. And if I need to buy a new horse I have enough star coins to get at least one horse
Actually you can do them again.. if you know you're gonna fail a mission just simply log off then log in again.. go to the notice board and you can redo the mission all over again.
I have around thirty horses, all maxed since should riding came out. but I don't really mind having the XP go to waste as all I really care about is the rune runner horse XD
suprisingly enough, Im almost done, I just hit 85000, and only missed 400exp, one was a quest I just didnt feel like doing and one was a mission was because I took a bad fall and got teleported out of the area
It's funny cause I don't train horses with the missions. I only do them with my starter horse because it might be stupid but to me it would feel wrong if I did it with any other horse. It's ok though because I barely have horses to train
I have a lot of horses because I didnt come to starstable a lot lately, so I have much starcoins because of the weekly starcoins and a lot of new horses. So I dont have to buy extra. Guess it's lucky that I had a very busy schedule before everything
I personaly don't like sould riding.. sure its fun but gets boring really easy.. i'm at 27K or something.. i don't like the runerunner that much so there is no reason to do it. I do my reputation quests first and maybe then, i'll start being aktive on souldriding
"We don't have any second chances. If we fail, we fail."

I'm mostly like that too. I don't spend star coins on anything because I'm saving up in case there's a horse I want. I usually don't buy horses, although I like the exclusive ones such as the wilds. But in this case I really felt like I couldn't waste the horse exp so I suddenly got interested in buying horses because I needed more of them to train 😅
v j Yes! I would want to see that too, since they made Alex as a leader now. But to be honest, I don’t know if it fits me well, since she’s still stubborn and let’s the enemy taunt her, like she let with Darko, which doesn’t fit to me for her being the leader, but maybe she’ll eventually stop and release it, we’ll have to see😄 I personally enjoyed the Catherine’s memories, but it’s true, that I waited some epic ending, like she’ll teach us how to use our powers, or told us, why exactly she died, or maybe a part with Alex and other soulriders, that would make a lot of progress for the sisterhood, since I feel, like it’s not stated anywhere so much, instead we got how the whole thing doesn’t makes us friends, when in reality, it made us befriend them, so yeah. But I think they’re working on another storyline quests, while adding something smaller to the game, or so😄
Also, I think giving soul riding is a good idea to keep players busy with the rewards with lore in them and little bits of info. It’d stop people complaining about no story quests
This! I have over 70 horses and all of them are lvl 15 💀 guess who’s buying horse soon?
I have over 70 horses and I have only three maxed.
i have only 16 horses :(
Too Many Blueberriesss same like how can u have them all maxed
I have 12, all are maxed!
I only have 2 i want to save up my star coins for the christmas and halloween updates though
Edit:I have 4 now:)
I do really agree with you! It is a very clever way to keep us online everyday for a really long time because who wouldn't like a free horse, right? On the other hand I agree that it won't be so unique as everybody will have the same, so it would have been cool to maybe add some randomize features to the horse (idk maybe choose markings, coats...) Also the difficult missions and the daily chance are a way to strecht that period of time and to trigger us to log in the next day to keep your points up and unlock rewards. So once sso is having us online every day, they keep releasing new updates such as horses (too many of them lately), new areas, weekly missions, etc, for you to see and to maybe reawake on you a desire of wanting more somehow, or to keep you hooked, because as you are online every day you keep seeing all of these updates and eventually you would like to interact more than just with the sould riding, and probably that would make you buy star coins, special offers etc, if it makes sense. Also the fact that now you can level up horses so fast creates the need of having to buy new ones, specially for the people that plays that way.
However I have fallen into the trap too hahahh as I am online everyday for the soul riding and I wish I had more star coins to buy all those new horses. So this move has really worked on me to awaken again the desire to play sso, because I have been more than a year off the game, and I never ever spent money on it (only the lifetime star rider, and during quarantine, and I've been playing since 2015 lol) but I don't think I'll ever buy star coins, so a free horse is the best thing that can happen to me hahhaa otherwise I just keep saving those weekly 100sc or waiting for redeem codes.
haha I have opposite complains, I find the missions becoming to easy and repetitive. Haha I'd like it if they became harder or something else like fighting someone else with magic spells. I'm still grateful that sso gave us this tough, it's something else and you feel more connected to everything storyline quest related.
This moment when you have 28 horses to train well they can't fool me I have enough horses to train 😂
I love how much her voicd and intro has changed over the last few months!
If ur about to fail a mission, just log off and log back on and u can try it again and it will be in a new location to the last time! Hope this helps anyone who may not have known this x
I do this rarely, some days i just yeet out of mission area 😂
Unpopular opinion: I love soul riding, it is actually quite fair as well. We don’t need a free horse, but if you want it, you can get it for free by doing daily quests (which we have already done before; remember when we had to build the bridge and it took forever?). However, I don’t think they are pushing us to buy more horses. Once I run out of horses to train, I will be fine wasting my horse XP.
I miss those sun circle reputations. And overall lost reputations after glow up.
"What choice did I have?!" Lmao idk how about just doing them with a fully trained horse?
Im sooo close to getting my own rune runner and the northern Druid set is my fav
Great video! Couldn't agree more. I laughed at myself also when I realized what they were up to with all that XP! Starshine ranch too (: But I'm with you also in that I don't mind either because I'm having more fun than I've had in AGES! I hope they open up more lands (PLURAL) before we run out of soul riding quests. One thing I don't like is that some of the new tack isn't able to be worn by the older models of horses. Not cool.
Yeah! I definitely agree about the tack part, bc some of my older model horses are ones that I use quite often, and not being able to use any of the new stuff for them kinda sucks ;-;
I like your thinking... 🤔 I do agree I used to spend most of my time soul riding so I can't disagree 😂
Actually, there is a bad point with these quests... They are buying time for themselves to create with less pressure of deadlines, and many people have realised everything you said in your video ; so people are expecting something huge coming up before the end of the year or begining of next year. And they better get it right because then people are gonna get really angry if it doesn't reach expectations, and some will probably leave. And we don't forget we didn't have many of the events that were meant to come during the spring, for example Jorvik Stables' opening, Easter, the Rainbow festival and the world in the clouds. So yes, it is pretty smart from the SSO team, but it is also really risky.
I am not defending them here, I do see your point and I agree, but it is also a risky bet on their part. Hopefully they will get it right and we'll be very happy to have waited for so long ;)
I’m just using my starter horse which was maxed out over a year ago. I don’t really care about the horse xp or the free horse at the end, I was just interested in the quests in it. And it’s fun. Sure beats the other daily quests. Lol
I honestly gave up on soul riding missions and training cuz it got too boring😒
Ikr
me too I just do it when I don’t have anything to do, I think I’m in 34.000
Same :-
same
I barely reached level 13 and already gave up on the game
I am enjoying the soul riding feature so much. I hope that the missions are still a playable option once the free horse is achieved 🥰💜
So maybe thats why they add that much horses! Thats very good „theory”! I really like soul riding, but for now I cant do this everyday so rip
for like half a year now they have events that give you lots of horse XP so you are more likely to buy a new horse. like that time you could get your horse level 15 without riding it if you used al of your christmas points. or races that give you 1500 horse XP....
I never thought about this.... I am going to stop training my horses until I reach soul riding! xD
DUDE you are so good at explaining stuff!
please make more amazing vids and dont take hate your so amazing!
It is also a smart move because for low levels like me it pushes you to level up quicker
i never thought of it like that i just got to were i can work to getting the free horse a couple weeks ago and have leveled up 4 horses at level 10 so far. i do have 47 horses to train and i will most likely go threw them all or most of them as soon as its done than ill have to train my free horse i get from them. i need 800 more to be able to do missions.
Omg I am early I really love ur vids ur the only english you tuber who does star academy and I love ur sporilar and theories please make more vids.😀ur amazing.
I have never have thought of this.
I agree that this is a smart business move. Players are logging on more, more people are buying Star Coins, no one is complaining about having nothing to do (except newbies, who still have a lot to do regardless), it gives them time to focus on coming up with the next section of story quests and other features! I think this is a win- win- win situation (except for our wallets, mind you).
I kind of see it as a win-win situation regardless, because we don't HAVE to buy star coins, but you know, we kind of want to anyways 😅😅😅 I mean there are people who are short on money and it's good that they aren't encouraged to buy anything. The team just gives us a buch of horse exp and leaves the rest up to us :P
😂🤣😂 So true!! Love your take on this!! 👍🏼😁💛🐴🤩
I bought lifetime starrider yesterday
it's 30% off today
I want to cry
I really hope the training and everything stays after we get the horse - the druid training is my motivation for doing regular training, since it now only takes 3 days to fully train your horse lol.
Me who has 50 untrained horses: so I need to buy a new one
When you look at the thing: FREE HORSE & then you read that you have to save anne & it takes SIX MONTHS to get the free horse D;
Hey, gained reward feels better. And those books, and those powder thingies you can only buy during seasonal events (those that costs SC btw) you get them for fre in 3 of each. Raindeer 3 types, all are 9 powders. Flaming hoof, zombie mummy, skieleton. Flower, sparkles, butterflies. So much powders to get 🙉
@@randomvideosandstuff9625 none of that stuff is interesting tho (yes ik this is really late) the whole idea is boring i dont know anyone who reads the lore books as they hold no value and the rewards aren’t that good tbh. Especially ruin runner.
@@Mirani. raindeer powders are going to be gone. This year... Ehhh, sso cuts out event content, santawas placed in mall, not in villige. Valentines event cut out, looking for gold, chasing rainbows for rewards, cut out. No free horse can fix it (on 10th b-day, it's going to be ugly anyway).
@@randomvideosandstuff9625 we have no idea what they are planning im hoping for the best
Wow I totally didn’t see this coming!!!
I never realized all this ! However, it was a good smart move because it's beneficial for Star Stable and not everyone would buy more star coins to buy more horses, it means that we have a choice and that we can do whatever we want with our money ! For me, I have NO SINGLE horse to train anymore and I don't need to buy more (saving my sc), I do Soul Riding, daily quests and races every day to earn shillings, even with a max leveled horse (obviously) so I don't get bored.
I really like the Soul Riding quests and I agree with you with the point that it's a challenge when it's difficult. I failed only one or two missions at the start, but never again. I don't understand people, they say quests are too easy but when it becomes harder, they complain...
But you say that Soul Riding would keep us busy till August, I don't agree. I calculated for myself. I'm about 71 000 XP and till 120 000 XP, I may have the Rune Runner on July 10th. Perhaps I'm wrong but as I said I failed only one or two missions so I find this weird...
I love your vids, keep going, it's interesting ! :D
Hmm, maybe I miscalculated the exact date 🤔🤔 but the point of us being busy until august was more on a general level, because a lot of players will miss a few days and fail a few missions. The team won't have to deal with a bored community until a lot of people have finished it and gotten tired of the game again, and I estimate that those complaints will stay away until around august
So basically this is how you get your players to buy stuff with real money
I was really into it at first and never wanted to skip a day. But then I found out that for some people, there's a bug which resets the Soul Riding two times a day, so they get the rewards two times faster. So that kinda stopped me from enjoying it as much. I still think it's cool tho, finally something that makes me log on more than once per week.
This never occurred to me. Probably because I have so many horses to train
Haha! Yeah, that's right! But for me, that's not a problem, because I have 98 horses XD... So having 4 horses trained is not a lot. :) ♥ Thank you for sharing the "theory" with us!
It's September and I'm still working on the Soul riding. I'm not even close to being finished.
I wish I had the patience to sit down and do them but I don’t..just like I don’t have patience to do the Workshop stuff
IF U DON’T WANNA FAIL YOU’RE MISSIONS!!!
...you just have to log of every time you’re about to fail, and/or is unsatisfied about the location😁
I haven’t started this yet cuz my one main quest keeps replaying and just the fact that I have 4 more days till I save Anne makes me even more bad
Good When you have like 20 horses in lvl 1-2:)
I maxed every one of my horses doing soul riding, and now do it with a maxed horse while I save up 😅
Just because of soul riding I recently bought 4 horses only to have something to train 😂
I JUST BOUGHT A JORVIK PONY TO TRAIN FOR SOUL RIDING AAAAAAA but I didn’t buy star coins haha now I’m broke tho
edit: I hope they’re working on main story quests or updated areas now that they have a few months of time to make small updates
I don’t really mind them getting people to buy more SC either. They’re clearly a small, low budget studio who need the money. That’s why they take so long to release things.
And .... YES .... I agree!!🤩👍🏼
years later i still havent completed it yet
Bold of them to assume i dont have a fully upgraded stable filled with half way trained horses 🤔
I have 93 horses and I’ve only maxed 20 of them so I didn’t rly fall into there trap because I finished it on October 4th or 5th and I didn’t even max a horse in Druid training or missions
Her: you have to buy more horses
Me: *laughs in having all level 1 and 2 horses but having over 70 horses*
GOLDENHILLS is the WORST place to put a mission.
When I saw her soul riding Xp I was ashamed. I ONLY HAVE 27,000 XP 😭😭
To be fair, you could do soul riding with a fully trained horse if you really didn’t want to buy new horses, but yeah, it’s a really smart move. I don’t mind though, I enjoy the soul riding and hopefully, we could have some fun main quests with this rune runner since everyone can get that horse for free.
i'm gonna say i'm around like 82000 and i've maxed out 6 of my horses already. but once I finish maxing the horse i'm riding I'm just doing the missions for reputation and i've maxed all my horses once it's done, also i've maxed more horses because I have been finding lost animals everyday as well which is like 1200 xp? (300xp per animal yes?)
No no she has a point 🤔
Nooo! I had al my horses already trained when I unlocked the missons, I'm just a huge fan of training...
I understand your point and its great if people still enjoy it, but honestly i have gotten pretty bored of soul riding lately bc its just so repetitive, idk maybe just me 😕 and im not gonna do and spend time on something i dont enjoy even if theres rewards at the end
okay, i will never train my horses again till the soul riding missions! I didnt even save Justin XDD
Go do quests
I have like 12 horses to train so I am really not complaining xD I have trained about 4 horses. And if I need to buy a new horse I have enough star coins to get at least one horse
I started soul riding 2 years ago... Then i finished it 3 days ago xD
Actually you can do them again.. if you know you're gonna fail a mission just simply log off then log in again.. go to the notice board and you can redo the mission all over again.
I have around thirty horses, all maxed since should riding came out. but I don't really mind having the XP go to waste as all I really care about is the rune runner horse XD
suprisingly enough, Im almost done, I just hit 85000, and only missed 400exp, one was a quest I just didnt feel like doing and one was a mission was because I took a bad fall and got teleported out of the area
It's funny cause I don't train horses with the missions. I only do them with my starter horse because it might be stupid but to me it would feel wrong if I did it with any other horse.
It's ok though because I barely have horses to train
I’m never doing soulriding i always forget it😂
i have exactly 50 horses and all of them are maxed.. cause i love training...
You actually can redo the missions and that’s why I’ve never failed one
then there's me who has too many horses
I have a lot of horses because I didnt come to starstable a lot lately, so I have much starcoins because of the weekly starcoins and a lot of new horses. So I dont have to buy extra. Guess it's lucky that I had a very busy schedule before everything
I personaly don't like sould riding.. sure its fun but gets boring really easy.. i'm at 27K or something.. i don't like the runerunner that much so there is no reason to do it. I do my reputation quests first and maybe then, i'll start being aktive on souldriding
I have 17 horses to train the most are lvl 6 so i enjoy it
the queen is BAAAACK
