Masquerade End Warning!

The wait time between dances has been decreased for the remainder of the event! The Masquerade will be over at 11:59pm on April 3rd. Remember that the Masquerade forums will close at 11:59pm on the 4th, so you have time to get prizes out for any contests you might be running. :)

We will be retiring the 2012 tab items from the Menagerie at 11:59pm on the 4th, so you can dance your heart out this weekend and use Monday to grab any 2012 items you're missing!

The Migrating Masks will be open until May 1st, so you’ll have a month to restock any masks you might want for next year.

The wonderful 502 at the end helped my blood pressure go up. Thanks.

Do wish there weren't constant 502 errors tonight. :( I haven't got much chance to play, was hoping to be able to use tonight to help out some friends.

Awesome! Thanks for the answer, @Amber :D

@Sylviana Yep! :) You’ll be able to buy things throughout the year, so you don’t have any rush to buy items from years 2013+.

Sylviana @ 04/2/16 11:05 pm

Are unspent trinkets kept in our accounts until the next time the events open? o:

@Amber thank you so very much!!

Amber @ 04/2/16 10:21 pm STAFF

@FabulousViolet Nope, like the news post says it's just the 2012 items from the Menagerie. :)

Just showing my appreciation for this <3

StarShadow @ 04/1/16 11:54 pm

I seem to be getting about 2 trinkets per dance also. Oh well. Will be busy most of the day tomorrow so hope I can get some dancing in.

@Amber Thanks for confirming! I did get the buff just recently, and have been getting wait times of 2-4 minutes which is a godsend! Thank you so much for decreasing wait times! I've been so busy this year that I've been lucky to have more than 2-3 hours of being online at one time.

Silvanesti @ 04/1/16 8:58 pm

Oh yup, just my luck, there's a 5'er. Guess I just have an off day. :)

0

Amber @ 04/1/16 8:55 pm STAFF

@Silvanesti I didn’t touch the trinket payout so you might just be unlucky today, sorry! :(

0

Rookie @ 04/1/16 8:54 pm

@Amber i did finally get the buff and have been getting 2 - 4 minutes now, which is GREAT. thank you!

0

Silvanesti @ 04/1/16 8:53 pm

@Amber Are the trinkets received also halved? I seem to be getting a lot of 2 and 3 trinkets, and I think before I got like between 3-5. I know it's such a small difference, but wondering if they're also halved or if my luck is just terrible today.

0

Amber @ 04/1/16 8:51 pm STAFF

@crashingnightingales @CSM 8 minutes is the max (which before it was 15)! But you have a higher chance of getting the dance buff now. :) The buff has decreased in time, as well.

1

Rookie @ 04/1/16 8:07 pm

haha jokes on me i'm still having to wait like 8 minutes?? i figured it'd be reduced maybe down to 5 or so.. yikes

0

crashingnightingales @ 04/1/16 7:59 pm

Just out of curiousity what is the margin by which wait times are reduced? I'm still getting wait times of 7-8 minutes. Is 8 minutes the maximum wait time?

0

Rookie @ 04/1/16 7:31 pm

yay for decreased times, needing to wait 9 ~ 12 minutes was killing me

0

lull @ 04/1/16 6:05 pm

@Amber - thank you for the confirmation ^_^

0

Carpathia @ 04/1/16 5:08 pm

I need to get on it, I barely danced this year. At least want to finish the 2012 items, if I don't get any of this year's. So definitely thankful for the longer reduced time!

0

Amber @ 04/1/16 5:06 pm STAFF

rude that it didn't ping you, @tobias :x

0

Amber @ 04/1/16 5:06 pm STAFF

@lull no retirements from Lounge :)
@?Tobias ;) I posted ahead of time that we wanted to do the shorter times earlier so everyone gets a chance at the 2012 items retiring + time zones!
@Kara Nope! We try to add all the new stuff early on (or let you know if another wave is coming) so you guys can plan how many trinkets you need to dance for.

Kara_920 @ 04/1/16 4:43 pm

Thank you for the extended time to get masks, and the heads up plus reduced dancing times. Are there any further waves of new merchandise for the shops that I should hold out/plan for for this year?

0

Kindred @ 04/1/16 4:30 pm

Subeta users are the nicest people ever, I'm in awe because of how many people have danced with me or sent me trinkets/2012 items because of my silly rant earlier. One day I'm gonna send somebody else a million trinkets or candy hearts to make up for it!

1

Ewok @ 04/1/16 4:00 pm

I'm so happy we have shorter dance times more avance than usual. This is one of the first events so far where the Europeans don't miss out on shorter wait times.
And i'm pleased with the extra communication news post because there were still some confused people around.

tenthz @ 04/1/16 3:45 pm

@Amber please please release the old battle challengers for the weekend :D

@lull
As far as I know, the lounge will not get any retirements.

0

forcryinoutloud @ 04/1/16 3:40 pm

Aw man, I don't have anywhere near enough trinkets to get the items I still need/want from 2012 :(

0

Kindred @ 04/1/16 3:21 pm

I'm nowhere near close to finishing 2012, and I have barely touched any other year! At this rate I will never catch up, I'm only clinging on now because there's no lounge retirements happening so I'm using those to buy more steam works trinkets. I've been dancing through college classes and between assignments but I'm just so busy!

Rant over, time to get back to dancing :p

0

lull @ 04/1/16 3:04 pm

@Amber - will there be retirements from the lounge too?

0

Poet @ 04/1/16 2:37 pm

Nooo! I'm so low on trinkets ;~;

beinagrind @ 04/1/16 2:20 pm

Thanks amber! That means i can buy what i need the most without having to sacrifice sleep and irl as well :p

0

Amber @ 04/1/16 2:17 pm STAFF

@beinagrind We’re taking them out of the shop for now. Somewhere down the line, we’ll be bringing back older holiday items when it won’t cause the shops to lag a lot :)

indulge @ 04/1/16 2:15 pm

I'm relieved that we have Monday to buy 2012 stuff because I like to buy everything at the end, so thank you :p

1

beinagrind @ 04/1/16 2:13 pm

but will the 2012 items be retired forever, or simply cycled out?

0

Kevin @ 04/1/16 2:11 pm

still time to bring out some challengers though :(

At least it has been fun. :)

Lugosi @ 04/1/16 2:07 pm

Thank you very much for keeping the 2012 tab until the day after Masquerade ends instead of closing it once the event is over. ? It's very much appreciated. @Amber
