I preferred last years winter village over this one. Yes it's pretty but just doesnt have the full Christmas spirit anymore, like Santa is gone (hopefully we get a quest like "save Santa"). I miss the sleigh race in Jarl where we got to drop presents into the chimmies. 🥺 what they could do is work on Dino Valley and turn it into the North Pole somehow since Dino needs a update and we dont have much to do there anymore.
And I already know, it’s terrible THERE ARE NO RACES RN! And the only way to get warm wishes is if you do the dumb things in Jorvik, which I have no time for.
can’t believe they’re really gonna release winter village content in chunks. if it were new content, fine, but i bet they’re gonna release the races in like two weeks like they’re brand new. the fact that we were promised the character update and an updated racing system this year, yet they don’t even have enough content to fill up december without splitting the winter village content into tiny updates is just... so upsetting.
At least with the winter race, I kind of understand why they would want to release that later. Since the map of the winter village got updated, maybe they want us to get re-oriented into the new area before having us do the race, since the race will probably be altered, just like how Steve's race had to change to fit the new map. That's possible. However, I understand the frustration of releasing the village and events in batches. I felt like that worked for the birthday update...somewhat. (I felt that the last two updates of the birthday update were not as exciting as the first.) For the winter festival, I am seriously hoping for some really engaging content with every week of the update.
@@MustiLaura2 i’m sorry, but i’m all out of patience with star stable. it’s not only about the races - so much of the content was stripped from it. i couldn’t care less about the winter wishes - i’m so over all the grinding we go trough, i’m just sick of the lack of content and the audacity to release such lackluster updates when we’ve been promised so so much more this year.
I think the races will be added later. Tho I think they should have added a bit more, not just the plain w.v., gifts and such. Considering how long it took them I was really dissapointed. They could have added atleast 1 - 2 of the special races.
@Storm Mist They don't always necessarily list every detail in every update. + When you actually read what they wrote instead of just looking at the map, they said in Jorvik is frozen part "Slippery races take advantage of the frozen lakes and rivers." That's all xD
i really love the updated winter village but getting rid of the races is so stupid. and i think star stable needs to bring back sso Christmas like in the old days like races, helping Santa and the elves, putting up the Christmas tree in some areas and presents in the chimney. (im not 100% sure if those happened im not a new player but im not old)
Someone mentioned to me the races are probably gone due to the fact that the layout has changed and graphics have updated so they’re probably working on that rn :))) I still understand the frustration I was surprised myself
Yet... They had all year to actually put everything together... Enough time to update the graphics and put together some fun races. :I Not to mention they also had enough time to also give us other fun quests like from years before. If you compare SSO to other MMO's that do Christmas themed updates, they'd have plenty of time to add actually fun things.
If they weren't able to finish everything for the winter update, why update it anyway? I don't get that. They could've kept it for next year then and give us a wonderful new winter village 2022. I personally would be happy to wait and still have the old one with the races :/
im just pissed that out of the two new tack sets the blue one which I wanted doesnt have stats and that the christmas tree isn't the center of the village anymore, everything feels kinda unattached right now. and the fact that the quests/races probably wont be added til next week means we're missing out on so many warm wishes which also really annoys me cause that means itll be a lot harder to get the free outfit and tack set (even though i dont really like it from what i've seen tbh). I really like the new winter pets but they're super expensive as always and I hope they're going to come out with a new sc deal where you can get the unicorn bridles or the new pets with a sc deal or smth.
I stopped playing sso a ton, and I logged back on just to play the Christmas update. I was super excited, but then there was barely anything to actually play like bruhh
I was sad that not all the older items are in the shops, there were so many I saved for this year that are not here, I liked the layout of the old one better, and I miss the races. I hope sso gives us things to do besides winter wishes
@@SuicidalH for me it there were items in the shop I couldn’t afford and now I can I can’t find them on the shops, the data base where I find most of my outfit locations says it’s in the winter village but I don’t see anything

In that area with auroras apparently you can look through the telescopes and find a star constellation that says something about you. I'm saying apparently because on my server we all had a bug and we only saw a grey circle. The only new attraction. And it was bugged. I-
I'm pretty sure that was last year but that's even worse. They had it work last year and I loved it but how the fuck did they managed to fuck it up like this?
Bro does anyone know the point of James and the snow in the fence? Like I paid 1000 JS for what he claimed was the best snow field and go inside and literally all there is to do is STAND THERE. It's maybe 4 ft of space? In the middle of moorland and fort pinta? The location and concept are so confusing to me like what am I SUPPOSED to be doing w it? Am I missing something? Or has SSO really given up that much that they're giving us sandboxes of snow
Lmfao the fact that you don’t understand makes this even more funny. James is a scammer and you got scammed by a star stable npc😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 You can literally see it’s just a small area it’s part of the joke (ps I am so sorry for you bb he’s the worst🥺😭😂)
It wouldn’t even let me into the gates after I bought the tickets?? I have no idea what I’m supposed to do to get in pffft but I also thought there’s be hidden winter wishes (in the large one, at least lol)
Honestly I can't imagine thinking it's funny for people to be tricked into spending js for a prank when sso is already money hungry enough, that could have been used for tack. Really unimpressed with sso recently
I also very liked the advent calendar on the homepage. Where you could get items or even different wallpapers. I assume they don’t do that either this year
The advent calendar was not only my favorite, but also my mom's. We really enjoyed looking at the pretty drawings, and clicking on the numbers in order. I liked having to figure out where the numbers were, lol. It gave me a slight challenge. X3
The races weren't instantly there last year either if I remember correctly and they might not have completely remade them yet so I'm guessing that we'll get them on the update after the next update (since they didn't say anything about races in the next week's update thing). I love how the new graphics look, it's really smooth and nice but yeah, it definetly doesn't have the same Christmas-y feel as the old version. It's not the biggest thing but I miss the igloo and the star that hung between two ice spikes or something (where you could go up the ice and look over the village), those were really cool Also the area with that said star was my favourite one, now it looks kinda generic and not special at all _good that I still have photos from the last two years lol_
It ruins my whole Christmas vibe. No quest in or out of Christmas village, Crappy presents we are getting. No fun stuff. Nothing. It’s harder to hunt for warm wishes, it just sucks. And makes me sad,
I was kinda disappointed that there weren't any races at all or that the Christmas horses didn't come out during this update. I was expecting them to come out with this update but they didn't which is kind of sad. I personally like the new village in terms of detail and the animations, but the old had more character, warmth, and personality to it. This village feels colder and less cozy, unlike the old winter village.😢 Assuming the Winter village won't change, I hope they will have some more things to do in the Winter Village in the next update which is when the new horses come out, but who knows with Star Stable. 🤷♀️
I genuinely believe they will add the races again in a week or two along with some quests (hopefully new ones). They gotta know that these are what keeps someone coming back to the village
I’m a bit mad about the winter village, don’t get me wrong the atmosphere is amazing 🤩 but they removed so much stuff like the canons races etc and now all u can do is buy stuff.
@@VibingMeike yes this! I really love the Christmas music tho but I reallt hope they will add the old stuff like the races and maybe new quests or something or otherwise I would be so sad 🥲
@@jewellboomstra2258 Yep, I think someone said the races will be in SSO next week but I also miss the snowball cannons and riding on the deer, moose and bear ): I love the music as well and I don't mind the new village that much, I just like the old vibe more lol
They removed a lot of the aurora quests too. No helping with giving people presents, no musical penguins, no herding animals, no lighting the candles or lanterns, no ice cannons. I don't know why they removed these and added no new quests.
I’m disappointed too about the races not being in the Winter Village…. I was looking forward to kick the elfs lol. Did you notice that the fog in Dinovalley is gone? And there’s huge ice pillars over a large distance there… in the Mirror Marshes and South Hoof Peninsula the fog is also gone. Does this indicate that something will happen in Dinovalley? I really hope so.
I have never been fond of the winter village. I loved snow in Jorvik, the tree lightings, delivering presents in Jarleheim. It just doesn't feel right.
Winter update is my favorite time of year as well and to say I'm disappointed in it would be putting it lightly, I am assuming they will be doing the updates how they did with Halloween and slowly add in activities instead of all at once like normal. Either way it's a very boring update and highly disappointing presents under the tree this year 😒 like should have just not done them if they can't even give us good stats on the gear 😕 I too do not using anything that isn't max stats so it'll just sit around forever until I need to make room for new stuff.... they had done so good with the Halloween updates this is the biggest let down of the entire year.
The winter village looks nice and i AM peeved that there are no races in the village but i also understand that they can't release the old races on the new village map and they probably need some tweaking anyways. Also they have to stretch that ✨content✨ throughout the 6 weeks the winter village will be around in some way
You missed possibly the worst part of this update. By jasper's old farm there are four fenced in areas with snow. You talk to james and he makes you buy a ticket. The prices vary as there are different sizes of snowy areas. You literally pay shillings to walk on a snow drift. 😑
Ya, you're right, but, the actions there are justified because James is a greedy young man who wants to make money any way he thinks he can. XD It's in character. But it still doesn't help SSO's case.
SSO releasing winter village in chunks? Wow. Just wow. They're really trying to stretch the bare minimum content they've decided on doing. The 10yo me is absolutely crushed. How could my all time favorite childhood game go down like this?
Don’t worry, the races are probably going to be come back, there’s a new one that they are working on. It’s not ready yet but I’m guessing it’s a penguin race. Zaapp discovered it
In 3:48 if u wanna see through the telescope, u need to be on your horse and if u wanna move it around u need to move your cursor (up, down, left, right) that way to see the constellations!! I hope this helps :))
Everything is being spread across a couple of updates very thinly. Which is sad yeah but I think it might do with last year being buggy and staff needing to comeback earlier on instead of holiday staff doing fixes while they were gone. Idk, I don't work there but ye :v
I've come to notice that for many people you can only do 9 of the aurora things for wishes daily, which is really stupid. It shouldn't be limited especially with the fact the races are gone. You get maybe 11-15 wishes a day and you need however many to trade in for the items. Its a waste of time, the last few years were better in my opinion. 🤨😔😩
I contacted support for this reason cuz I was confused and I was told it was done on purpose and that I'd have to wait til the next day to do anymore. They're really milking the Christmas update for all its worth this year.
I was searching for stars in Winter Village and one is not in the place wheres supposed to be. If they remake stuff, they gotta make sure everything is there. Now im missing one star and i probably wont get it cuz of the new village :))))))
It was my understanding they removed some of the more Americanized Christmas material (ie. Santa,) in order to be more neutral and respectful to holidays this time of year that follow similar, but not the exact same things. Considering Jorvik was founded by the Norse people and the event features Yule Goats, I’ve always interpreted that Jorvik is more rooted in paganism and more European traditions. Let’s not forget that the team is based in Sweden. As for the races, more content, and the event horses, will be coming soon. Yes the changes are new and the scheduling is different, but I disagree that the Winter Village has been “ruined” by such changes. You want a game that really ruins their events? Play School of Dragons, which is slowly milking HTTYD’s dying money cow dry by making its event currency pay to win and VERY difficult to grind for otherwise.
I am refusing to spend any star coins on anything that is a simple color swap or doesnt have stats. This is getting so ridiculous, it's tiring. I just wanna have SOMETHING to do in this game...
im honestly disappointed because i was really looking foward to this update and when it came out i saw theres no races and santa is gone and i got sad too because the races was the thing i was looking forward too the most and they dont even have them :(. the daily gift items so far arent really that cool but the xp i did enjoy but it didnt level me up ☹
my mind is literally blown cause its like so expensive and i won’t ask my parents for star coins cause i’m a star ride i bought it with my own money what i got for my birthday and yes i had permission to do it but its still ridiculous
I love the updated winter Village, it looks much more realistic and more homey, the old winter Village I'm like cool, now I'm bored. I've been exploring the new one everyday and found new things that I didn't see on the past days. Plus the ice sounds like swedish ice, I just like chilling on the ice with my volume on high.
I like the goat horse but I agree they should not have used the curly model, maybe the jorvik wild with lion mane, or that new French draft horse the got because their movements seem cleaner and more organic. The jorvik wild lion mane would have looked sooo majestic if used for heidrun.
Yeah, idk why but it triggers me that there are people in the winter village and not just the elfs (or how are they called). I miss the Santa so much in Jarl and in Winter Village. I do not have the christmas vibe like previous years. This Winter i am just logging on to get the warm wishes and leave bcs it is just boring
Yeah both new outfits cost 1499 star coins if you buy by star coins only! I think they will add the races but in another december update, dragging it out again like others said. Love the new village look, but for the rest this update is dissappointing. I hope sso is going to improve, otherwise it really is going to die. I am, I've been a hard core sso player but even I start feeling like quitting now.
Im not able to play sso rn and the only thing i wish was different is the calendar. I just really wish we will have the ability to get our items on the website next year
the glitch where the cat stays is if u look at a peice of clothing and then exit the shop whilst still looking at it it will look like you own it until u go bck to the stoe and view the item and then stop viewing it before you exit also its charcater xp not horse
I’m going to probably going to add more stuff as the weeks of December continue and that they added everything at once the game is probably way too lagy me to even play
sso don't focus on their content. they only focus on making things look pretty and making horses. and now they're taking out the little content they used to have. I do believe that it'll be a race in the Winter Village later this Christmas. but still, why let us into the village when there's nothing to do there yet? I mean, beside buying over expensive clothes which apparently are worth the max limit of JSV or 1 and a half weeks worth of sc for 1 item. and looking at things ofc. like, there's nothing to do in this game. what happened to the game, where's the content? it's honestly just sad. I'm disappointed by these "updates".
i hope they add the races (including the fun silversong river race, i think it gave 700 xp everytime you did it) next week with the horses. if they completely remove the races this update is useless ;/
The races are coming next week with the new horses, love your video btw ❤ Edit. I've laughed so hard when you still didn't realize the cat is still in your saddle back 🤣🤣
There is absolutely no reason anymore to play the game rn. I used to make the Xmas races everyday in the winter update. Now I have to collect those stupid wishes by chasing the aurora things? No thanks. I rly hope they add the races the next few days, if not... Well then I don't see a reason to play :/
excuse my confusion regarding the tack lol
No problem! Hehe

Either way it's a very boring update and highly disappointing presents under the tree this year 😒 like should have just not done them if they can't even give us good stats on the gear 😕 I too do not using anything that isn't max stats so it'll just sit around forever until I need to make room for new stuff.... they had done so good with the Halloween updates this is the biggest let down of the entire year.
The winter village looks nice and i AM peeved that there are no races in the village but i also understand that they can't release the old races on the new village map and they probably need some tweaking anyways. Also they have to stretch that ✨content✨ throughout the 6 weeks the winter village will be around in some way
You missed possibly the worst part of this update. By jasper's old farm there are four fenced in areas with snow. You talk to james and he makes you buy a ticket. The prices vary as there are different sizes of snowy areas. You literally pay shillings to walk on a snow drift. 😑
yo wtf??
@@homosexualsam6887 go check it out I ain't joking 🤣
Ya, you're right, but, the actions there are justified because James is a greedy young man who wants to make money any way he thinks he can. XD It's in character. But it still doesn't help SSO's case.
@@echotrash466 i just think it's kinda sad that we're getting so used to being let down by sso that an in-game joke can pass as reality
@@echotrash466 it's just annoying that they would take time to add something that dumb in the game.
The new village looks cool but i miss the old one sm :(
SSO releasing winter village in chunks? Wow. Just wow. They're really trying to stretch the bare minimum content they've decided on doing. The 10yo me is absolutely crushed. How could my all time favorite childhood game go down like this?
Don’t worry, the races are probably going to be come back, there’s a new one that they are working on. It’s not ready yet but I’m guessing it’s a penguin race. Zaapp discovered it
i thought i was the only one who had that glitch when u hover over the item or thing then press esc it dont take off the tack or what ever
I'm glad I wasn't the only one wandering around wondering what to do lol
In 3:48 if u wanna see through the telescope, u need to be on your horse and if u wanna move it around u need to move your cursor (up, down, left, right) that way to see the constellations!! I hope this helps :))
The winter village looks nice
Next week there will be a race in the winter village and the silversong river race comes back!
In Australia the money for star coins are like 25 dollars for that 100 and 64 dollars for the most expensive
The races and horses and the activities are coming next week that’s why it’s not fun yet lol 😂
Everything is being spread across a couple of updates very thinly. Which is sad yeah but I think it might do with last year being buggy and staff needing to comeback earlier on instead of holiday staff doing fixes while they were gone. Idk, I don't work there but ye :v
if on day 2 we get 150 PLAYER XP then i wonder...what do we get on Christmas????
500 Star Coins? Hopefully?
I've come to notice that for many people you can only do 9 of the aurora things for wishes daily, which is really stupid. It shouldn't be limited especially with the fact the races are gone. You get maybe 11-15 wishes a day and you need however many to trade in for the items. Its a waste of time, the last few years were better in my opinion. 🤨😔😩
I contacted support for this reason cuz I was confused and I was told it was done on purpose and that I'd have to wait til the next day to do anymore. They're really milking the Christmas update for all its worth this year.
They not ruined it they improved it. i think it looks so much better and less plasticy than before.
no
Ah yes I keep coming back to thos game for the graphics
I talked to an ambassador and the races, quests, horses and animals will be out in the following weeks!
I was searching for stars in Winter Village and one is not in the place wheres supposed to be. If they remake stuff, they gotta make sure everything is there. Now im missing one star and i probably wont get it cuz of the new village :))))))
No Santa, no lights, no Christmas...(((( -sniff-
“ It’s 2 plus riding I’m not wearing this.” You and I both Denis lol
Star stable explained in instragram comments that they will add races and quests back next week they just didn't have time
Literally the dumbest excuse. They should stop waiting Last minute to do things then or hire more people
i think the races are coming next week
and the sad part is that like this is personally my first ever time in winter village and I've never got to do the fun races...
It was my understanding they removed some of the more Americanized Christmas material (ie. Santa,) in order to be more neutral and respectful to holidays this time of year that follow similar, but not the exact same things. Considering Jorvik was founded by the Norse people and the event features Yule Goats, I’ve always interpreted that Jorvik is more rooted in paganism and more European traditions. Let’s not forget that the team is based in Sweden.
As for the races, more content, and the event horses, will be coming soon. Yes the changes are new and the scheduling is different, but I disagree that the Winter Village has been “ruined” by such changes.
You want a game that really ruins their events? Play School of Dragons, which is slowly milking HTTYD’s dying money cow dry by making its event currency pay to win and VERY difficult to grind for otherwise.
I am refusing to spend any star coins on anything that is a simple color swap or doesnt have stats. This is getting so ridiculous, it's tiring. I just wanna have SOMETHING to do in this game...
I think they will add races later. Also they said that they will add more new pets to buy + new arabians
“I’m not getting any pets” *5 secs later buys a pet*
The cat is exploring Jorvik with you while 10 minutes 😄
are the goat boxes still there? i miss chasing them
I play the Sims 3 and it doesn't even lag as much as SSO does.
Don’t the races release next week?
Yes they do
The horses are coming next week 😁
im honestly disappointed because i was really looking foward to this update and when it came out i saw theres no races and santa is gone and i got sad too because the races was the thing i was looking forward too the most and they dont even have them :(. the daily gift items so far arent really that cool but the xp i did enjoy but it didnt level me up ☹
my mind is literally blown cause its like so expensive and i won’t ask my parents for star coins cause i’m a star ride i bought it with my own money what i got for my birthday and yes i had permission to do it but its still ridiculous
I love the updated winter Village, it looks much more realistic and more homey, the old winter Village I'm like cool, now I'm bored. I've been exploring the new one everyday and found new things that I didn't see on the past days. Plus the ice sounds like swedish ice, I just like chilling on the ice with my volume on high.
I like the goat horse but I agree they should not have used the curly model, maybe the jorvik wild with lion mane, or that new French draft horse the got because their movements seem cleaner and more organic. The jorvik wild lion mane would have looked sooo majestic if used for heidrun.
The Jorvik wilds have been used for the past two major updates. I don’t think they will use them again for a while. XX
I’m being laggy too :( every time I try to get to the winter village I get network error and after like five mins I also disconnect in Jorvik :/
How do you record your star stable screen
9:18 havent heard that sentence in a long time, just got back to watching your videos lol
Races and other things will come out during the later weeks
That's why they weren't here now
in christmas 2019 they had all the quests with Santa and everything and it was actually fun to play but not anymore
The races are probably coming back in a following winter update
Anyone knows on what horse model the brinicle is made? I'm curious
I'm pretty sure it's a Gen 3 north Swedish horse model
This was my first sso Winter and i was so excited for the races :(
From where did you get that coat Arabian???
It was a limited horse from the jorvik open house update. It should be available again in the first quarter of the year.
what horse was Denise riding in the beginning of the video?
i wish it still snowed and i wish there were races and the weird lil rat elf thing that hides hats for you to find
Yeah, idk why but it triggers me that there are people in the winter village and not just the elfs (or how are they called). I miss the Santa so much in Jarl and in Winter Village. I do not have the christmas vibe like previous years. This Winter i am just logging on to get the warm wishes and leave bcs it is just boring
Yeah both new outfits cost 1499 star coins if you buy by star coins only! I think they will add the races but in another december update, dragging it out again like others said. Love the new village look, but for the rest this update is dissappointing. I hope sso is going to improve, otherwise it really is going to die. I am, I've been a hard core sso player but even I start feeling like quitting now.
Im not able to play sso rn and the only thing i wish was different is the calendar.
I just really wish we will have the ability to get our items on the website next year
I think they're redoing the races and they'll be here next week!! should've added them this week ngl but still
I believe that the snow textures and trees used in there will be used for the updated Dino Valley 🙂
the glitch where the cat stays is if u look at a peice of clothing and then exit the shop whilst still looking at it it will look like you own it until u go bck to the stoe and view the item and then stop viewing it before you exit also its charcater xp not horse
i only played the xmas event last year for the morphs like deer and bear etc
They made it bigger and I couldn't even find anything anymore😭😭😭😭😭
I like how it looks but I did not like how there's nothing to do there yet
I’m going to probably going to add more stuff as the weeks of December continue and that they added everything at once the game is probably way too lagy me to even play
Where's the ice from last year? they removed that too,With the ice there was that "make the penguins sing a respective song for warm wishes"?
The xp was for player not horse
At least it came out this year!?
i think they’re gonna add the races in a couple weeks, the probably have no other updates so they just split the winter village into different parts
sso don't focus on their content. they only focus on making things look pretty and making horses. and now they're taking out the little content they used to have. I do believe that it'll be a race in the Winter Village later this Christmas. but still, why let us into the village when there's nothing to do there yet? I mean, beside buying over expensive clothes which apparently are worth the max limit of JSV or 1 and a half weeks worth of sc for 1 item. and looking at things ofc. like, there's nothing to do in this game. what happened to the game, where's the content? it's honestly just sad. I'm disappointed by these "updates".
I really hope we get the races next week 🙂
i hope they add the races (including the fun silversong river race, i think it gave 700 xp everytime you did it) next week with the horses. if they completely remove the races this update is useless ;/
what server are you on?
First they took the snow away and now they even ruined this village smh, it’s just getting worse every year
The races are coming next week with the new horses, love your video btw ❤
Edit. I've laughed so hard when you still didn't realize the cat is still in your saddle back 🤣🤣
There is absolutely no reason anymore to play the game rn. I used to make the Xmas races everyday in the winter update. Now I have to collect those stupid wishes by chasing the aurora things? No thanks. I rly hope they add the races the next few days, if not... Well then I don't see a reason to play :/
Im literally waiting for an sso Video without any complaining😂
