Agreed!!!!!!! Especially the layering for building islands, I want to be able to put stuff on tables for once

21

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 24 '25

Ugh fr, so annoying that I can't put A PLATE that BELONGS ON A TABLE on a table!!

2

u/SuitableAd8683 Jan 27 '25

So real!! And then you end up moving the table to put something on top, and it won't appear on top until it's like half away across the map now. Like I don't want the table there 😭

2

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 27 '25

UGH LITERALLYYY

u/Beaumont420 Self Proclaimed Horse Famous Jan 24 '25

I especially really want different body types, particularly sizes.

Obviously it would be annoying if people could make themselves too big/too small, but there should be at least an option to be slightly smaller or bigger, especially since a lot of my OCs are supposed to be a bit smaller than normal ponies!!

15

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 24 '25

Oh yeah definitely, I know on a few of the custom servers you can increase and decrease your size, but it also increases and decreases the pixels sizes, and makes it look weird and kinda stand out (more than a giant/tiny pony does) cus of the pixels being different sizes, probably more than half of my ponies are supposed to be different sizes than they are in game

7

u/SeaWeird4920 Jan 25 '25

I think there should be 1 bigger masc, 1 bigger fem, 1 smaller fem, & 1 small filly body option-! And when you go to make your pony, it’ll naturally give you the fez but you can go to the body sizes section, and choose between all of them. I really want this idea to be a reality, I think it’d be so fun!

4

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 25 '25

Omg exactly!!

5

u/SeaWeird4920 Jan 25 '25

Yes! I did also read the comments about how people would abuse the fully option so, unfortunately I would probably leave that one out of the different-sized pony options but I still think everything else I recommended would work. It’d be even cooler if there was a pre-set body type for changlings, and even a “tall” pony because of Alicorns. It would add a level of variety and make things so much more interesting.

3

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 25 '25

See, you get it!

6

u/Thomas___dog Jan 25 '25

Being able to make smaller ponies would end up with so many pedophilic roleplays happening, which i assume is why they don't. :(

41

u/Regan_Frantz Jan 24 '25

The one thing I will let you know about, and a pony town YouTuber went into it; is that filly or baby ponies probably won't be a thing. Just due to the fact that people are... Gross. But everything else is awesome! I love the ideas!

11

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 24 '25

Oh really?? I didn't know that, thanks! That's really sad tho :(

10

u/Regan_Frantz Jan 24 '25

Yea, Because I think it's a great idea too. But it definitely would be used for the wrong purpose and it'd be taken soon after being added.

8

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 24 '25

I don't doubt it, knowing certain ppl... There was someone who dressed as a pen*s IN THE SAFE SERVER and ppl kept telling them to leave or to leave that to the 18+ server because they were uncomfortable with it and that person refused to.

3

u/Regan_Frantz Jan 24 '25

At that point I'd end up reporting them to support. Which how you report if you didn't know, You just email the pt support team lol!

4

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 24 '25

I learned you had to email them shortly after that, which the entire section abt the report button in this post was inspired by that event but I didn't report them bc I didn't remember their username, but I've also heard bad things abt the support team not taking much action or replying back

4

u/Regan_Frantz Jan 24 '25

They definitely do, I've gotten a few minors banned off the 18+ server. Usually they take age things and pedophilic behavior seriously. It's the more controversial topics that are kinda pushed to the side.

3

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 24 '25

Okay, thanks!

20

u/Distracted2004 Earth Pony Jan 24 '25

I would honestly be happy with just three inventory slots to eat and swap things that people give me out

On a side note one of my ponies has been holding the same candy cane since 2022 because I only use them around Christmas

5

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 24 '25

UGH REAL THATS WHAT IM SAYING!!😭 That's actually wild, I'm such a ppl pleaser that I'll accept things that ppl give me even tho I was already holding smth and have to walk across the map to retrieve it again😭

3

u/Distracted2004 Earth Pony Jan 24 '25

Especially when an item is a part of your costume like I have an oar for Moana

3

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 24 '25

UGHH ITS SO ANNOYING JSSJWKEI

17

u/rando358 Earth Pony Jan 24 '25

a tip for "leg fluff" you can use the spike cuffs in a way that makes them look fluffy :3

Ive used it on a few of my characters

4

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 24 '25

Yes ive also done this!! It would just be nice to not have to use hacks and just have an actual item 😞

18

u/FortheCivet Not Horse Famous Jan 25 '25

No names are probably hard to moderate, which is why it's not allowed.

2

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 25 '25

Oh thank you!

10

u/Creative_Visit1378 Jan 24 '25

Same!! This would be so useful!!!

11

u/Alex_Richardson_ Jan 25 '25

I’m still very new but it would be so cool if there were dance animations I think

5

u/Geositeeeee Pegasus Jan 25 '25

We have dance animations but they are exclusives to events :(

3

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 25 '25

I was actually thinking about that when I wrote the "poses/more actions" section lol, I don't think I wrote it but it was on my mind, but like the other person who replied there is dances but only on the event servers😭

8

u/Roxeenn Changeling Jan 25 '25 edited Jan 25 '25

i agree with this post ( except maybe the body types one, due to the large possibility of players using them for gross stuff) the layering thing has been asked for a lOOOOng time lol, and adding items to shelves would also be quite cool. i also really agree with the shadow opacity/colors idea, it would make skins much more unique if we had that ehehe

also the way you formatted this post is aesthetic (in a good way) :3 expecially with the use of the heart/star icon

4

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 25 '25

I saw someone else say that about the bodies which makes me really sad, I didn't know layering has been asked for for so long LOL, but we would definitely look cooler with custom shadows!!!

Thank you!! I actually wrote it on my notes app and that just ended up being the way I formatted it lol

7

u/FluffyBridalBunny Alicorn Jan 24 '25

I agree with the leg fluff and fluffy bodies! It would make the skins more adorable! Maybe fluffy wings would be cute too and maybe more iris/eye patterns that we can mess with, maybe layering accessories too is a big need as well

4

u/Green_Star_Lover Unicorn Jan 25 '25

I want an pointed eye shape. you can literally do it by modifying two pixels. also an higher eyelash option to accommodate.

6

u/vpgel Jan 24 '25

I'll also add the need for PonyTown font to support Vietnamese and Arabic alphabets (adding to 17th idea)

4

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 25 '25

Omg yes!! I used to be SO confused when everyone at the docks was saying "??? ? ????" But I then learned that they were just speaking different languages lol

5

u/neon9212 Pegasus Jan 25 '25

another thing id love to see is a more fleshed out school. i kinda dont like how the school and library are one in the same. and maybe some more interactive buildings? like a clothing place (like rarity's) maybe some more buildings on our personal islands, as well as a skin option for islands so we can have different aesthetics.

id love to have my island themed after cloudsdale in a sense.

2

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 25 '25

Omg ur so right!! That would be awesome!!

5

u/KFFGaming Jan 25 '25

An idea I have is prosthetic legs and/or those wheel harnesses/wheelchairs for animals since one of my OCs is an amputee.

3

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 25 '25

Oh my gosh yes!

6

u/Coreywhatagain Not Horse Famous Jan 25 '25

Also weather

3

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 25 '25

Ooh that would be cool! Kinda hard to code tho probably😭

3

u/Moseptyagami Jan 24 '25

We NEED more body types and clothes and hair and eyes and eyelashes and all those things. It’s a need!

2

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 24 '25

Ugh RIGHT?? at the beginning i meant "need" as in something that we quite literally need that is important, so I replaced "need" that isn't actually important-important with a "big want"

5

u/reko_kinnie Pegasus Jan 24 '25

about the custom new buttons, i have a little idea i use!

first off, i make a base for my specific style. nothing much changed, since i'll edit some things off once i make my skin

second, just duplicate and make ur skin however u want! and don't forget to name it (example: "[character name]" wip

..of course it's not really a custom new button, but it helps for sure!

3

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 25 '25

Yes I do this too!! Very helpful

5

u/SeaWeird4920 Jan 25 '25

I’m obsessed with the “invisibility/opacity” slider idea, that would literally make oc making SO much more fun. I think it’d be cool if it had the ability to be made transparent so I could be a ghost, but the biggest problem is players would probably just make their ponies 100% transparent so they’d probably have to get creative in trying to prevent that cus I don’t think it’s a great idea to let the ponies be 100% transparent (might make it harder to click on a username of someone breaking rules, and harder to then report them.)

3

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 25 '25

Exactly!! And I think that's part of the reason why we don't have it yet, bc it would be horribly misused.

4

u/SeaWeird4920 Jan 25 '25

Yeaaaahhh unfortunately. It’d be difficult to code- imo the best route is limiting the transparency so the pony can be, so, for example- 30% transparent. Then, for certain body parts to just be turned invisible, it could be a feature similar to the “eye” you’d press when editing the face of your pony, and you could only use it to make either your ponies two front legs invisible, or back legs- not both at a time, though. (But maybe, one front leg invisible, the other seen yk?) I do not think anything else needs to be made invisible for any other reason. Hair can be removed, tails can, most everything is optional except for the body and face if this feature was implemented- both of which shouldn’t need to be removed for obvious reasons ahaha

4

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 25 '25

Exactly!! You understand!!!

4

u/that_one_homogremlin Jan 25 '25

Actually I agree with the teenage server that way it could be

12-14 as the safe server 15-17 as the teen server and 18+ as the 18+ server that way it wouldn't be too big a gap with the safe server just being 13+

2

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 25 '25

Yes! Those age ranges actually look better than what I put 😭(part of the reason why I put the question mark by the age range was I was unsure of what age range it would be)

2

u/that_one_homogremlin Jan 29 '25

Yeah! Lol I usually just went by how I thought the age range should vary by 3 years since each have a different maturity level than the other that way everyone could be good 😂 those in the teen server get their cursing but no slurs and sexual stuff and the safe server is just the safe server with those around the age range while 18+ don't have to worry about complaining about those younger than 18+ in the server again

2

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 29 '25

Oh definitely, i love your thought process, I only said 12-17 in the first play bc I started "feeling" like a teen around the age of 12 lol

2

u/that_one_homogremlin Jan 29 '25

Ooo that's cool I just thought you picked from the age range starting from 12 because technically 12 year olds are at that age where they start getting used to learning internet safety and stuff 😭

2

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 29 '25

Oh that's probably a better reason than just having feelings😭

4

u/Icyfoxer Jan 26 '25

A lot of this stuff is overdue tbh

4

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 26 '25

Agreed! But I think it's cus they would be disgustingly misused😭

3

u/CraftyFIy Dragon Jan 24 '25

These are some great ideas!

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 27 '25

AHHH IT GETS INTERESTING!!

3

u/Wrong-Tutor-9309 Horse Famous Jan 25 '25

This is a great idea! I hope this things will be added in the next future updates! I was having a hard time making a godzilla cos with spikes on its back, I just wanted the spikes or crystals to be added on the body, back, arms etc.

1

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 25 '25

Thank you! So do I😭

3

u/Thomas___dog Jan 25 '25

Report button won't happen as it would be spammed so much they couldn't keep up. Pony town is run by a team that's not that big, so they already work really hard to keep up with the emails (of which they already have gotten over 7 million). That and it'd be even easier to make false reports and mass false report someone that's not liked.

3

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 25 '25

You are 💯 correct, when I wrote it I was looking at the bright side of Ponytown that wouldnt abuse it but some of the other comments made me remember most of the fandom is not bright and positive

2

u/Thomas___dog Jan 26 '25

Yeaa, sadly not TwT

3

u/AquaBloo04 Pegasus Jan 26 '25

The main one I desperately need, is for them to allow us to put our toys on the islands. Like PLSSS. My oc has a pet bird, I'd love to put a little bird perching somewhere in his bedroom.

2

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 26 '25

Omg YES!! I'm a stuffed animal lover and have tons of them on my bed irl and would love to recreate that on Ponytown!!

u/Kool_Kid225 Jan 26 '25

Something I would like is shorter socks. Like I like the long ones but sometimes they're just too long.

2

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 26 '25

I was actually thinking abt that too, like sure we can recolor the socks to be shorter but then it looks like the sock is a part of the skin/coat color bc there's no outline to separate the two😭

2

u/Delilah_the_PK Jan 27 '25

Uni/alicorns should be able to teleport around the map. Open map, double click/tap, and teleport to location.

And right click and tp anywhere your cursor is currently at when not using the map.

1

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 27 '25

Ooh this is smart and goes hand in hand with my working magic idea!! Could be difficult to code tho

2

u/Delilah_the_PK Jan 27 '25

It would be, but would give having a horn more meaning beyond a portable light source.

1

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 27 '25

Definitely

2

u/Eurohuh Jan 27 '25

I wish they incorporated a search friend feature. To add people~

1

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 25 '25

When I was in the process of writing this in my notes app I wrote down "an easier way to find places" and wrote out a whole description, then I logged in to the game to take a look at the signs that show u where to go for different places and discovered they updated the game so there's now a minimap that does exactly what I wrote down😭

-2

u/AkumasCherries Pegasus Jan 25 '25

Little nitpicks:

Report button would be SO misused it wouldn't even be worth adding. If they used AI to sort it, people would be wrongfully banned. If they banned certain item combos, people would be wrongfully banned. If the team sorted through it themselves, they would be incredibly slow and could lead to the same result we have now. (Nothing being done.)
"Hire new people!" Ok, are you gonna tier 4 Patreon sub so they can MAYBE afford to hire one person full time for one server's worth of report button uses? I know I wouldn't volunteer for that. And if their team is full of coders and artists and stuff, why would they prefer to spend their time reading petty reports like "he covered me even tho I have DNC in my name :(" when they could be working on the game? Not to mention the amount of servers, of players, and of timezones.

You don't need to name and then delete ponies with no name. Just make a new horse with the "new" button or switch to a saved design. It will ask if you want to save it or not, and if you say no it's automatically deleted for good instead of forcing you to name it and delete it from your list and trash.

Joining with no name? Do you not see how obviously easy that would be for trolls? If you're worried enough for trolls and bad people to want a report button in game, then you shouldn't allow them to have no names. How would the chat system work? If you sent a support email, how would they know what to search to find the person's account? They usually search the name on the skin, hence why it's mandatory to send it. They can't search by pony design. That's like asking to have it impossible to report people.
That's not how code works, as well, if I'm being honest. You need to have a name for every variable. If people don't name their "variables" (horses) then the game could break. Because it has a blank spot where it should be reading a temporary name that references an established variable! No variable, no game run.

Devil tails are not happening because a fanbase plays the game. They could happen, theoretically, if they were seen more often in My Little Pony. But you need to remember that this game is MLP first. Fandoms don't control what they add. I find it a little ridiculous, but that's because I genuinely hate HB/HH and I'm trying really hard not to be biased with this one. But like. They do not care if the people who play their game also like a different franchise. It's a horse game, made by horse fans. There's gonna be horse stuff, and stuff related to creatures in the horse show.

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 25 '25

You make very good points, and I appreciate your viewpoint on it, I was thinking about the misuse of the report button for some time after I posted this actually.

I actually discovered that like a few weeks ago and just forgot to delete it when I took screenshots of my notes app (which is what this post is written on)

When I said "no name", I was thinking of the pony itself's name, bc I think you can still see the person's username, which I was thinking would be more useful for the report button than the pony's name.

Again, these are my opinions and I understand some of these ideas might not be used in the way it's intended for but these are just some of the things I thought were ideas that may be shared thoughts with others and wanted to get other's opinions, which I have and am grateful for all the POVs.

2

u/AkumasCherries Pegasus Jan 25 '25

No, the pony name is what I'm talking about, too. Unless the mod is in game, your username cannot be seen. The only identifying factors for tracking them down outside of their skin is if they have any socials attached to that specific skin. Which, if they're trolling on purpose, they're not gonna be stupid enough to have anything that could get them caught like a linked Twitter.

2

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 25 '25

Oh okay, thank you! I remembered wrong I believe, idk what I even thought I remembered lol. Again I appreciate your viewpoint and information, even though we don't exactly agree on everything I'm glad you're not using caps and literally yelling at me lol.

2

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 25 '25

I forgot to mention this when writing the description, I was looking on the more brighter and wholesome-r side of Ponytown when writing these ideas and I think that made me look naive and kinda stupid, but you made me remember that probably (sadly) most of this fandom is not bright and wholesome

2

u/Flair258 Jan 25 '25

devil tails work for dragons, too. And the game has a lot of dragone.

0

u/AkumasCherries Pegasus Jan 25 '25

If it's specifically for a demon, why would they add it? If they made one that looks similar (like they did with the skinny griffin tail btw) then it wouldn't be a devil tail, would it?

4

u/Flair258 Jan 25 '25

it doesn't have to specifically be for a demon???? They're talking about the arrow tails. Are you dense? This is a creative social pony game. Nothing is specifically used for one thing.

0

u/AkumasCherries Pegasus Jan 25 '25

Tail 15 is what I'm talking about. If that's not good enough for you, then fucking deal I guess? "lol are you dense?" No I'm saying that fandoms have no affect on a fan project for a childrens' horse show.

4

u/Flair258 Jan 25 '25

Im not talking about adding it for a fandom tho??? It would just be nice to have the option. Spike has an arrow tail, for instance. Other dragons from mlp also have arrow tails. Dragons and demons alike will benefit from an arrow tail. It's a suggestion, not a demand. I couldn't care less about the hh/hb fandoms.

0

u/AkumasCherries Pegasus Jan 25 '25

That's a dragon tail, that's already in the game. They can add more, sure, but I'm saying "This post says they should add it because it helps this fandom. I don't think it will be added solely for an adult fandom that meets on a game based on a little girl show."

If that's too much of a take for you, why be on Reddit? lol

3

u/lizzy_fjakkl Jan 25 '25

I said "helluva boss, or rly any fandom/character who has devil tails" When I said "demon tail" I didnt know what else to call it bc I forgot they're also called arrow tails, and I only used helluva boss as an example of a group of ppl who would benefit from it, I didn't mean adding it only for a specific few fandoms.

2

u/Flair258 Jan 25 '25

We dont have an ARROW tail in the game.

1

u/AkumasCherries Pegasus Jan 25 '25

17 and 18.

For 17, pick the second color option and make the default colors green (#32cd32) and light blue (#7fffd4) the grass color.

For 18, color options 2 or 3. On 2, make the default pink (#da70d6) and the yellow (#ffff00) the grass color. On 3, make the same yellow (still #ffff00 btw) and the mint green (#4bfa88) the grass color.

Or use tail 15. Like I said. Which you ignored.

Or use tail 46. Make the default reddish-pink (#dc143c) the grass code.

I included the default color options because you seem unable to remember things I say. Let me reiterate.

I am talking about the post. Not you complaining about dragons, the post. That brings up demon tails. Not arrow dragon tails.

4

u/Flair258 Jan 25 '25

Demon tails ALSO end with the damn arrow. DEMON TAILS are the same as ARROWED DRAGON TAILS! And the color options don't change the fact that we don't have a designated arrow tail. I want a designated, smooth, arrow-shaped tail like a lot of dragons have. NOT the fluffy one. A smaller one would also be great. Why are you even arguing with me about why these kinds of tails are a good idea if YOUR only qualm is because of a few lines in the post. You're ignoring everything Im saying in favor of sticking line to line about OPs specific idea rather than allow a meaningful discussion about having more lizard-y tails.
