    Hey Forums.
    I play party, a lot of it. It has come to my attention recently that a majority of players do not like the game Horse Race. The main complaints I've heard is that players who don't have a strong connection often glitch and get stuck in blocks, causing them to potentially lose the race. Moreover, Party players believe that there's too many maps for Horse Race. There's currently a total of 3 active Horse Race maps, which doesn't make sense if this game is commonly disliked among the community. I've also personally experienced back to back Horse Race maps as well as frequent block glitches while playing. After talking with different Party players, they've said they want more Parkour, Wipeout, and a better rotation of maps. The reason this isn't being addressed by the Party community is because a lot of them don't use the Forums in general, so their voices aren't being heard. If the rotations are changed around to where Horse Race is less active in the rotations, not only will a majority of players be happy with this, but it also keeps players online for the maps they do love to play.

    When we put out a survey and asked around before adding in 3 maps, people were upset about 2 things regarding horse race.
    1) that the mario circuit map was glitched and you could abuse to win.
    And 2) that there wasnt enough variety on horse race, which was actually one of our better liked games as shown in the survey.

    To be fair, that survey was over a month ago. What I've heard from players recently is that they aren't happy with the rotation having back to back Horse Race, and many players still glitch in the races.

    Hmmm. Ok. I'll see if we could possibly get a small update so that horse race doesn't happen one right after the other. At least one other minigame must run before hrose race cones back up. Is that a reasonable compromise for now? I'm not a huge fan of drastic changes.

    Yeah, that's what I was aiming for. I didn't want any of the maps removed because some players really do enjoy horse race. It just becomes an issue when you're playing 2-3 different games of horse race when you haven't even had the chance to play different mini-games. A different rotation would really fix this c: Thank you

    It does get annoying doing horse race back-to-back and I don't like it.

    I know. I'm sorry about that, but it was something we didn't forsee. I've put in a tiny request to possibly have it altered, so I'll let you know what the verdict is.

    Like @_featherpaw_ said, I think this problem could easily be solved with a simple map rotation change so that there are not two horse race mini-games back to back. But also, I feel like featherpaws survey is still valid, nothing much has changed about party since the questionnaire was public. Also a few new horse race maps were recently added and we were hoping to spark interest even more and make the community happier by giving them something many of them enjoyed.

    I completely agree. Great minds think alike! ^-^ I talked to a dev about a possible update, so if you could try to nudge him, that'd be awesome. You have a lot more swing than me right now and your credibility could help here. But I don't want to pressure him.

    I like horse race, but in my opinion, remove the Mario Circuit map and add more Wipeout/Parkour maps.

    Sadly, adding more wipeout maps is a little out of the question right now. They're difficult to make and set up, but I'll definitely remember it for later! :smile:

    I could make it, I just need the criteria since the map criteria thread doesn't have it.

    I do agree that this is the least popular game on Mineacrft Party, This problem can be fixed easily with a few adjustment.

    Hey guys! Keeping you updated. I talked to one of our lovely devs and sadly it's a no go for now because of other projects and it'd take a lot of tinkering with the code, but don't worry because it'll be fixed soonish they said!
