I kept up to date with the global and the translation was a bit off on my end so I assumed differently. The update today does not feel like a real improvement it feels like extra steps added. Sure you can try and reroll skills and such easier, but it feels like a burden to always have to use the exp on each horse after checking how much exp it has. Especially compared to it auto leveling when you went for the "If it goes, it goes" approach.

The entire time from global it read more as a big exp pool that all horses contribute into and then allow it to be used on any horse one might own even the ones that require 2.5 times the experience. This would be a much nicer system making it worth it to even ride your horse from city to city to collect exp so one can then use on a horse somewhere else.

Please consider revisiting this that the exp gets not stored indivually but to a big experience pool for all horses if even just to make the wagon horse catching exp and riding around the world to enjoy the scenery more worthwhile as the exp is not lost into a horse that may never need a level anymore. Kind of like all horses are tagged and can get exp from this pool.

I would not even mind if we need to get a treasure item to have in the inventory to convert individual exp to shared and back again. Sure it is again a extra steps but it would allow much more freedom of choice when it comes to the horse exp and their progression.

Thank you your time

While PA dev stated clearly (if you rewatch it) that it's tied to the horse, https://youtu.be/RG1zxeo5R0k?t=7193, I think everyone thought it would be a global/shared mount exp pool, not an exp pool to the horse itself.

Note - Even NA GM misunderstood how "shared exp would work" https://youtu.be/RG1zxeo5R0k?t=7311

This change doesn't make horse training appealing because any exp past 30 is essentially wasted, just like old patch. Actually, it makes it worse for imperial/mulcher because you are stuck at lv1 speed, slowing down mount exp gained because you don't level up automatically and benefiting stat increase.

They implemented math homework and extra steps for everyone so that the people who swipe benefit... Such a greedy move.

Today's update was the worst that I have ever seen in my 59806 HOURS in this game.. This is ragequit fuel. 

I'd also like to be able to see accumulated exp without having to mouseover/click anything.  

I completely agree, this update is absolutely horrible for everyone who does actual horse leveling on a regular basis. Before this update all I had to do was check the game every few hours to see the EXP bars of all four horses attached to the wagon. Done.

Now I have to click each individual horse (which then also always opens the Inventory, which is super annoying), click LEVEL UP, click MAX to see how many levels it can level up, and then click CONFIRM. And I have to repeat that for all horses attached to the wagon.

To me it seems like this update has been made for some person high up in PA who was annoyed that his T10 horse leveled up by accident, so he/she had the entire system changed to benefit that single use case while all other use cases got screwed over.

PA was doing great work with QoS changes over the past few years, but they have really lost the plot over the past half year or so.

Yeah, I HATE this new system. So not a fan. They made it more complicated to where it's just a pain in the ass. They really need to stop changing things that don't need changed! So unnecessary! I train horses in this game ALL THE TIME. It was already a headache. Now, it's an aneurysm! Really feel bad for people who train with wagons...

Dumb move PA! One of MANY...

And/or pure greed.. Skill swaps are a pearl item... level downs? pearl item.. Only the moneybags benefit from this extra work they added for EVERYONE.

Please at least make it a toggleable option to revert it, having to manually level up is unnecessary busy work, keep it as an option for those that want it, but I can't imagine that there are many that would.

Cheers then.

PA, as they often do, took something that should have been a toggleable choice (horse leveling) and made manual leveling mandatory. It should have been optional, it's already too hard to make silver with horse training. Apart from the limited case of wanting to use horse training coupons to change horse skills, the only reason why you would want to manually level horses is if the horse leveling would (somehow) cause your AFK horse training to halt. However, AFK horse training should be automatic; it should never halt, so if it halts anyway that's a bug to fix.
