Right now you can use your referral points for upgrade time or HPD, OR it will go into your HPP count with achievement points to be used in the cash shop, which is a confusing and somewhat buggy system.

So, I was thinking about ways we could fix it and this is what I came up with:

What if we revamp the system slightly so you just get 1 HPP for every referral, 1 more HPP if your referral upgrades, and 1 HPP for every achievement you earn

If we change the way HPP is awarded, it would simplify the system so that we could theoretically eventually make it so that other things awarded HPP, too. The current hybrid system of referral points and achievement points is frankly confusing since they can both be used in the cash shop but then referral points can ALSO be used for upgrade time and HPD in the bank. So I think they need to go into the same count, and be able to be used on the same things.

As for what they could be used on, we could do it so your HPP could be traded for HPB, upgrade time, or HPD (or we could keep it so that it's used directly for cash shop items as it currently is, but if it was traded for HPB and HPD those could both be used in the cash shop, too, so maybe it's redundant but I'll let you all weigh in on that).

But if we had a system like where everything was just worth 1 HPP and then you could use HPP on stuff instead of referral points on some things and achievement points on others, it would make it easier for us to add other things in to make them worth HPP too without somehow trying to tie it into our weird and convoluted system.

What do you think?

Bump!

Personally I'd prefer to be able to use them in the cash shop! ♥

Just a note that if we were to have it so they could be traded as HPB instead of directly for cash shop items, you'd still be able to use them for the cash shop, it would just be a bit simpler :). But I'm not super stuck on changing that part. I just think the system of awarding them needs to be simplified, and there shouldn't be a division between referral points and achievement points.

I see! I agree :)

I think simplifying HPP would be great, though would I be able to buy upgrade time with it? It would be awesome if the actual money and time I put into the game came full circle, so there's a bit of reward for what I'm working to achieve instead of the cost always being the same regardless of the effort put in, if that makes sense.

I am liking this idea!

Sounds like a good idea

I like this idea as well

Not going to Lie. I had to read this a couple of times as it really confused me! So I am all in for keeping it simple!

woukld be nice to get this going in the new year, anything simple Im all for :)

hope you all have the best New Year ever HP

I think achievements should be awarded more than 1 hpp...

Some items cost 1800hpp and i doubt anyone has 1800hpp 

And as too more things being awarded hpp i think maybe milestones on horse points should be added...

Like if your horse hits 2million you get 1hpp, 3million you get 2hpp, 4million 3hpp and so one...or just 1 to start out with since these could add up quickly, but it would be a nice incentive to train high pointed horses and spend more on upgrades...

great ideas Azalie, wish I had thought of them :)

The cash shop prices have been raised to avoid using them at the moment. There's a glitch with one award and it keeps awarding points when it shouldn't. Therefore some point have 100 points with only like 15 achievements. So Sam raided them so people don't take advantage. There was a news post about it, and if you want something out of the cash shop you just have to message her 😊😊

What Binny said! The current HPP prices in the cash shop have two 0's added onto the actual price :). We've got a bug we can't track down with achievements, so until we find it and fix it, this is our temporary solution! But anyone who wants to buy something with HPP can message me and I will work out the actual amount of HPP you have on your account and manually do the transaction :).

Hopefully we can get the achievement bug fixed soon! And also get the simplification of HPP underway as well :).

Ohhh i see! I remember seeing that post about adding the 0s now!
