Recent Horse Terrain Fix    (Poll started: May 13, 2020)

Recent Horse Terrain Fix poll details:
We recently improved the realism of horse climbing near vertical terrain. Now if the horse hits their head, it slows them down. This prevents the head from sticking through terrain goofily, and adds more difficulty/gameplay into searching proper paths through terrain. Some folks were upset with losing the ability to "Go anywhere" with some horses (It wasn't just well trained horses, was quite buggy in which could scale well). The fix puts the game back where we intended (Where not many mesas are traversable, might have to use hot air balloon, etc). But We will take the following poll results as guidance. Thanks for your patience.

Please change it back and leave it alone. Wasted my ft breeding program. (voted:2 pid:50)

#2, but only with well trained horses (voted:2 pid:145)

If you leave as is now we really need climbing gear! (voted:3 pid:245)

Give us #2 and also bridges for rivers in FF, Plains, etc. (voted:2 pid:385)

I would love to have climbing gear like the grappling hooks for the cave. (voted:0 pid:404)

#2 but only with trained/maxed horses (voted:2 pid:415)

I like the realism of horses not being able to climb walls, however, I think we still need a way to climb (climbing gear) (voted:1 pid:507)

If there were more perks to having a very experienced brave horse + climbing equipment, maybe in the future (voted:2 pid:534)

I play this game for fun so who cares if its not realistic. Magic pons that scale cliffs with a single jump? Heck yes! xD (voted:2 pid:684)

#2 (voted:0 pid:731)

#1 with well trained horses gaining the benefits of #2 (voted:1 pid:1067)

#1,but when your horses are really well-trained and **BONDED!** you get closer to how they were a week ago. :) (voted:1 pid:1283)

Please don't add bridges. Just give us climbing gear that takes a decent bit of effort to use (voted:1 pid:1439)

As much as I loved how it was, the changes add more realism. I hope for another solution though like climbing gear. (voted:1 pid:1477)

Sucks it's getting changed now, but it's better. I also support new equipment/buildables (voted:1 pid:1634)

Please change it back! Exploring was so much more fun before. (voted:2 pid:2057)

I'm not sure but think this might be affecting horses landing on docks? (voted:2 pid:2385)

Made some equipment more prevalent. Would like to see brave horses be able to scale cliffs. (voted:1 pid:2888)

This change makes my high Exp horse useless... (voted:2 pid:2944)

not a change that we needed. Game is for fun, realistic limits are not super fun (voted:2 pid:3035)

Getting around does not need to be more difficult or challenging (voted:2 pid:3429)

Unless player exp + horse meets, exp, bond can come into play, maybe make a use for horseshoes? Full revert please (voted:2 pid:3696)

INSTEAD: Add things like bridges, ramps and other ways to aid in ability to maneuver terrain. (voted:0 pid:3885)

At what point do we draw the realism line? Make us carry that horse in our pocket while climbing? Really? (voted:2 pid:4582)

You ever seen a horse climb a wall in real life? depends on the level or realism that is wanted. (voted:1 pid:5098)

Add a new Equipment, Rope bridge to carry along. (voted:3 pid:6818)

I know it is unrealistic, but this change has broken some courses. (voted:2 pid:6855)

I'd love climbing gear to be added with this feature! (voted:1 pid:6860)

I like how we can travel over the ice crusts now in option #3 (voted:3 pid:7017)

Exploring gear + high EXP horses (15k+) able to scale terrain like 1 week ago. It is a well-loved feature for many. (voted:2 pid:8123)

Just get off the horse, climb and get back on the horse... not hard lol (voted:3 pid:8564)

If this were to be a change, it should have occurred in beta. Change it back (voted:2 pid:9393)

Please put it back to the old way (voted:2 pid:9467)

I want climbing boots (voted:3 pid:10686)

The update sacrified playability and fun for "realism" I don't want anyway. Change it back. (voted:0 pid:11015)

can you make it easier to travel like lowering some hills and fix the biomes that break into peices into other biomews (voted:0 pid:12258)

#3 (voted:0 pid:12686)

Collecting yellow crystals is almost impossible now. Please change it back, or make a purchasable gear for it. (voted:2 pid:13784)

Would like areas to be accessible for any player, maybe with the option of equipment to make exploring easier/faster (voted:3 pid:14319)

Please either add bridges over deep rivers or allow brave horses to swim (voted:2 pid:14639)

Adding climbing gear would be a great way to keep the game more realistic (voted:1 pid:14730)

This is something that should have been a change in beta and not after the game went live. (voted:2 pid:14976)

Please add bridges over rivers in Plains, Fall Forest etc (voted:2 pid:15114)

Really want this ability back, especially for rapid travel (anoms) (voted:2 pid:15724)

I'm good with bridges or climbing hooks kind of like the grappling hook in World of Warcraft. (voted:3 pid:15759)

#2 but only for very experienced and very brave horses (if possible), otherwise 1 (voted:2 pid:16018)

The update makes some competitions impossible. Please revert. (voted:2 pid:16133)

#2 (voted:0 pid:16224)

Well trained horses get the benefit (voted:3 pid:16713)

Voted #2 but for Trained/ Maxed horses (#1 for non trained, base horses) (voted:2 pid:17237)

I loved how it used to be (voted:2 pid:17588)

Gameplay always trumps realism for me. So I vote revert. (voted:2 pid:19274)
