WASD has been standard since what, the early 90's with Doom? How are you used to moving? Have you only played a game where the arrow keys are for moving or something? What feels "normal" to you? Right-clicking is also fairly normal, at least among AAA titles.

You can edit your binds in the options while in-game, just like in most games. If you would rather use another set of keys to move you can configure that set there.

Cyan, NPCs are randomly missing with my characters also. The most common occurrence is just inside the Evershade Forest. On some of my NPCs there are two ponies there, one of which gives a few, short quests. Cannot recall their names right now. On others, they are missing and have never been there. Perhaps these are related?

What are your system specs? Video card model, amount of memory (RAM), CPU model?

Yeah. Now how do I use /stuck to actually free a pony from a jam? I tried this morning and he kept saying that, but not moving.

Pinkie had WAY too much candy yesterday. Combine that with Unity physics and things get a little crazy...

Pinkie Pie on too much sugar

Spoiler: show

This was the speed glitch. I zoned in from the farm and was moving at super-sonic speed, so I decided to see what the table which sent my foals flying would do. We all had a good time and zoning of course fixed the bug.

This is for all of our wonderful bat-ponies in LoE! Yes, I enjoy these once a month.

For Bat-Ponies

*EDIT*

This was in reference to the following.

Echo's Fruit Rampage

Love the bat-ponies!

So Pinkie wanted to go swimming but we needed water and lettuce, so we compromised...

Swimming on land

This is easily reproducible and I can show you how. I haven't filed a bug report because it harms nothing. No advantage is gained. It is just funny. If the devs want a video of this being done I can file a bug report.

The expert and master skills are for ponies who choose that talent as their special talent. They unlock for free. If you choose the cooking talent as a foal, you get all of those top-tier skills unlocked at no cost to you. Each talent has one or two (sometimes more) skills that cost normal amounts to unlock with the really good stuff set as expert or master for those who specialize in it. This is to prevent every pony from having every skill. You can buy expert skills in talents you did not specialize in, but it costs more because they are expert skills.

I do not know what games allow you to do it all, but as an avid Elder Scrolls fan since the first one (Arena) and major fan since the second one (Daggerfall) I can tell you these are the only games I can think of which allow you to max every skill, and it is VERY hard work. I was in the WoW alpha and beta, and I played for years. Each class had three skill trees and you NEVER had enough points to do it all. This means that no two shamans were alike, and it allowed you to make your character unique. WoW allowed you to reset your points and respec if needed, but it wasn't cheap. I would not mind the ability to respec here as well, with the exception of once you have chose your specialization, that cannot be changed.

It also goes along with the show and comics. Fluttershy and Dash are both pegasai in the show, but FS can't touch Dash in terms of flight. Her special ability is with animals, which Dash cannot do. This encourages you to have more than one pony and to work alongside other ponies. The game is fine and I believe most players enjoy it, but it is a work in progress and is subject to change. Maybe a team member can explain this better than I have. FWIW, I have many ponies in-game and I love them being unique.

These ponies look strangely familiar...

I am not sure what the playerbase uses for storage, but it is fairly common knowledge that HDDs are slowest but most reliable, SSDs are a hair faster, and M.2 NVME is by a wide margin, the fastest storage. However, there IS a storage medium that is faster than NVME and you have it in every computer out there. RAM. Your memory is much faster than any storage medium, but the contents are lost when you power down, unlike data stored on HDD, SSD, or M.2 NVME.

A trick we had back in the days of DOS and Windows 9X for those of us with copious amounts of memory was to create a disk in memory, referred to as a RAM disk. We would then put games or slow-loading programs into the RAM disk and run them form there. This resulted in the games loading nearly instantly since memory was far faster than any IDE HDD back then. Due to this, I did a test with LoE and thought I would share the results. First, my system!

Core i7-6950X
128Gb Quad-Channel DDR4
RTX 2080 Ti 11GB
Creative Ae5
1TB WD Blue HDD (SATA3) for OS (Win 7 Pro 64bit)
4 x 1TB WD Black HDD (SATA3) in RAID10 for normal games like LoE
1TB M.2 NVME for big games like Ark Survival Evolved

LoE resides on my BTRFS RAID10 array and has great loading times normally, but I decided to take 8GiB (8192MiB) of my RAM and make a RAM disk. I then copied LoE into the disk, which was formatted as NTFS, and my goodness the loading screens are non-existent. I used ImDisk to create the RAM disk. It is free to use and works in about everything since XP. If you have 12GB or more memory in your computer, this is a way for even the slowest PC to really perform better.

LoE uses over 5GB of storage, so you would need a 6GiB RAM disk minimum. After you create the disk, just copy LoE over and run the file there. Hope it helps somebody out who may not be able to afford a fancy new M.2 stick but has some RAM to spare!

6GiB = 6144MB
8GiB = 8192MB

The RAM disk:

I believe I found the missing foal. Snowy CloudDancer took him!

You can delete the configuration file. Look in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\LoE\Legends of Equestria. You configuration files and cache are in there. I believe you want to delete "input.json".

I was asked to take a screenshot last night so I took it. The image is 2560x1440 and may take a moment to load on slower connections. Just ignore the fact that Adam Dash is burning Mockery's face with a torch...

Foals on A Bench

It was just the way the dialogue is phrased. It leads me to believe I was missing something.
15
I have done eleven foal-only quests thus far including two not mentioned on the wiki page linked below (Cloud Race and Knead For Speed, not sure if foal-only) and Windhover is still trying to convince me not to grow up because I may miss something. Is this just bad dialogue or am I missing a quest? Quests I completed, listed in the same order as they are in my journal.

  • A Treat For Taffy
  • Justice's Blind Eye
  • Can You Hear Me Now?
  • Cloud Race
  • Eye Sore
  • Foal Speed Ahead
  • Knead For Speed
  • Welcome To Equestria
  • Trouble Stoppers
  • An Equestrian Werepony In The Evershade
  • A Wolf In Horse Clothing

As per the wiki, linked below, I have done all of the foal-only quests, and the wiki doesn't mention "Cloud Race" or "Knead For Speed", though I am not sure if they are foal-only. Have I missed something or is Windhover's dialogue just incomplete or something? The unicorn and earth pony instructors never made me feel like I was forgetting something.

Foal Quests

OK, I found an easier way. I was doing a lot of custom stuff and it had crisp results in the end but it was a lot of work. If you add LoE as a non-steam game to your library and you use Steam Remote Play on your phone, simply turn off the filter on SRP on your phone for "SRP optimized games" and you can play any game in your library, including LoE. If you do this you need a Bluetooth keyboard paired to your Android device for obvious reasons. You can use touch or a Bluetooth mouse for mouse input. Heck, you can use screen mirroring to mirror the phone/tablet onto a big-screen TV and play LoE on your living room TV while doing this!

I thought I would share that I managed to get LoE working on my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G just now. I will post some screenshots later, after I work on it some more. Now I can play LoE wherever, without hauling around a tower containing many heavy parts! Has anybody else tried this yet?

Here we go. I took two quick screenshots. They are slightly blurry, but it works!

Thanks! I saw you on earlier, I did not realize you were a dev. I would have asked then but I assumed you were a group heading out for high-level stuff.

Am I just slow or is there no talent quest as a foal for science? I have a unicorn that has completed all of the known foal-only quests and I want to graduate, but I want her to use science. I already have a unicorn that is a master of magic *cough*Twilight*cough* and thus do not need another.

Yeah, I wasn't messing with that initially because I assumed that the instance with players was devs and I didn't want to bother the devs. Now I know better! Also, thanks for the winter update, I was wondering when it would hit!
