THE MUSIC HAS STARTED

Let's hope you've prepared well, because it's officially time for the Annual Masquerade Ball! The dance floor is open to all those with masks until 11:59pm on July 1. The Masquerade Forums will close on July 6!

You can use the following sCode in your status and other places to have various people share a dance with you.

Code:
[dance=USERNAME]
Want to shake things up and dance with someone completely random? Try your hand at the Mystery Dance feature. You have the chance to get more than trinkets from these dances!

Rainbow LED Domino Mask
Masquerade Anyu Mask
White LED Domino Mask
The most important thing (other than wearing comfortable shoes) is to wear a mask. After all, this is a Masquerade! You won't be able to request or accept dances without a mask. Any item with the word 'mask' counts towards this, with no rarity requirements. In need of a mask? Stop by Migrating Masks to restock a few fashionable masks from previous years or try to grab a newly released mask!

Buzzing Mocktail
Ziaran Tea and Biscuits
White Chocolate Pistachio Petit Fours
Ombrerry Tart

Spectrum Circuit Body Stickers
A Haunted Masquerade
Proud Underground Bodyglitter
Simple Steamwork Yaherra Figure

Masquerade Medusa Plushie
Gold Cyber Light Strands
Cobalt Elegant Chatelaine
Clockwork and Lace
After you accept a dance, you will receive either Steamworks Trinkets or Lounge Trinkets as a parting gift. The Lounge Trinkets can be used at the Libertine Lounge where you can take a break and enjoy delicious food and drinks. The Steamworks Trinkets will allow you to purchase a wide range of goods from the Steamworks Menagerie.

This is the only wave of items for BOTH shops. Enjoy!

If you see broken images for the robot sets, don't worry. We are aware! Just waiting on the other gender overlays to be added.

Keep an eye out for the dastardly Boudewijn while dancing. If you manage to win a duel with him, he'll be forced to give you a bag of trinkets. Don't worry; he won't kill you in a duel or anything. Maybe slightly maim. Nothing a good drink can't fix.

You need to visit the dance floor after accepting a dance to find Boudewijn.

Last but not least, there are two avatar borders you have a chance of getting while dancing. The Steamwork Masquerade avatar border comes from using the Mystery Dance feature, while the Dancing Rave Style comes from dancing with anyone you choose. These are not guaranteed, so you may have to dance a lot to get one.

Challengers will be added later during the holiday!

Is it the lag or are things still not working right? When I try to invite someone it just sits there saying Inviting... And after at least 40 dances today not 1 single duel. Hmm.
moonstarr
Really hoping to see the special/event battle challengers soon! Does anyone remember which ones come out to play specifically during the masquerade? Do we think there might be one or two new ones this year, or will they be the same?

I'm excited either way, but with 26 petsies to take through the coliseum, it's a lot of work. I hope they are a range of difficulties since my youngest pets (except the one recently transferred to me, which I can't battle with just yet) are tier 7 all the way up to capped and everywhere in between!
Keilp
Is anyone else struggling to find Boudewijn? My roommate and I have both been going to the dancefloor after every dance and we haven't seen him at all. 😭
Norn
How do I log in on https://new.subeta.net/ if the site doesn't load? Which means that forums don't load either. Or the wardrobe.
Aline
One of the robot arms isn't restocking in the Menagerie as intended; I made a thread about it, but got no responses so far. Should I fill a ticket?
Masquerade
@Ryuu omgosh thanks for this I can get all the things now :D
StarShadow
I gave up on dance invites because it just sits there doing nothing.
Ryuu
It's late but:

You can do Mystery & Regular Dances at the same time!

People tend to get confused about this, but they're on separate timers & there's zero reason not to, so I wanted to be sure to mention it! You can even be awarded CSC from Mystery Dances too.
&

Make sure that you have accepted all of your Dance Invites!

Please refresh this page until you have dealt with them all:
https://subeta.net/explore/masquerade.php?act=invited

& the items are great, as always. β™₯️
gemajgall
The wardrobe isn't load, and I can't put on a mask, and I can't even wear a previously saved outfit. The lag on the wardrobe is terrible.
EvilRedDuckie
Forum has gone splody all over. Wouldn't be a Subeta event if everything worked properly. :P

:heart: :D
kaliope
Like every year I forgot that mystery dances can give out CSC. Thank you very much for that! <3
Haswari
Forums still not working.
StarShadow
Got my 2nd duel today but the box disappeared before I could click so no duel. Wish he wasn't so rare.
PiinkSparkles
can we please get a reminder event for the mystery dancing?
StarShadow
4th day of dancing & only 1 duel so far. Wardrobe & forums slow. This event is every year, wondering why there is always a problem.
eukelele
What are doubloons used for? Sorry if it's a dumb question ;u;
Pretzels
Another thing with wardrobe, got have to be logged in message again, but waited, and after about a minute went to saying loading avatar data and loaded wardrobe a few seconds later. So at least something else to try.

Sorry if anyone else said about this and I missed it.
LikeTwoPancakes
Wardrobe is slow for me but my outfits loaded this time, very excited for dancing!
CMYK
Is the wardrobe still not working for people? Because it hasn't worked for me for days now and I'm not sure how to access it.
Saturnine
You can hit invite to dance, and by the time it goes through, it'll be time to hit it again because it takes about 5 minutes to load.
Koi
The lag has been really bad these last two days. I can barely dance or enter the wardrobe or forums.
Haswari
The "invite to dance" button doesn't work and forums won't load.
Star
even putting on a mask for masq is near impossible with new subeta lagging

This is my favourite holiday so far! <3 <3 <3

Will the forums ever load again? :(
capper09
i love this event, but u no think wait 9 - 11 min. for the next dance and 14 min 59 sec. for the next mystery dance is to long..? site is still laggy..
Hound
It's nice to see more body mods but the modern robot parts feel a bit.... 2017? Sorry.
Yet everything seems to work and I wish every one a happy masquerade!
BlueRiver
I hope things get fixed soon. I want to dance!
StarShadow
The wardrobe has been working for me just very slowly until now & suddenly I'm also getting the blank you have to be logged in page for the 1st time and invites just sit there so I don't know if they invited someone or not. Looks like things have gotten worse instead of better. I wanted to change my outfit. My favorite part of Masq is wearing a different dress every day. Hope everything gets fixed soon.
Kysnier
Forums aren't loading >.<
Wren
I am logged in but keep getting error with my wardrobe "You must be logged in to view this page." I have refreshed many times and tried back over last couple hours, but unfortunately still the same. Excited for Masq though! Love this event :)
Opundo
Inviting to dance is timing out again. I've tried about half a dozen times, but I can't tell if they're going through or not. :(
brokensafety
When I invite friends to dance, it says "inviting to dance..." without any confirmation.
SandwichName
This is my first masquerade and I'm excited!
amariet
If you’re still having trouble with your wardrobe loading, refresh a few times and it’ll catch up! Did this earlier today and it worked
Sensuous
thank you for fixing the mystery dance, i've been getting more trinkets! still can't access the wardrobe, but we'll get there eventually.
Pretzels
Sorry again, I thought read post.

Okay, should be:

Oh my gosh, I meant wardrobe working again for me, as wasn't before. Even though said about in previous post, like to be clear each time. Taking it easy with back (pulled muscle), physical body not up to dancing, but virtual body is, mystery dances, anyway ~{^•^}~

If hasn't already, hope everything gets back to proper way for everyone soon!

Oh thanks. I had eye surgery a couple days ago & my vision isn't 100% right now so I missed it. Thank you. :D
sweetvalentine
@StarShadow first line of this news post, July 1
sweetvalentine
Wardrobe, mystery dancing, forums, inviting to dance all working for me now, just slowly.
glir
@StarShadow you can add the turning url (https://subeta.net/ss.php/menagerie/turnin) to your side bookmarks! I've got one for menagerie and one for lounge!
allnightforever
Is there a reason I’m not getting any GA perks after subscribing? In the past it was immediate, but it’s been a few hours now 😭😭
jensen
@Barbie it could be people accepting your invites from last year c:
StarShadow
Does anyone know when Masq ends? The end date is usually posted with the event links on the news page.
Barbie
Idk if this is a bug or if anyone else is experiencing this but twice I've gotten a noti that my proposal to dance was accepted but I haven't invited anyone to dance yet. Is this from people doing mystery dances and getting matched with me and I'm just a dumbass? lol
Sprinter137
Wardrobe still extremely slow, sigh
StarShadow
I haven't had a single duel. Maybe he's afraid of me like last year. :(
moonstarr
@Beldam Yes, the dance forum won't load for me at all.
Beldam
I can’t invite anyone to dance this morning. Is it lagging for anyone else?
moonstarr
Anyone else having trouble loading the forums?
Pretzels
Wardrobe working for me as well. Forgot to say talking about wardrobe in last post, think implied, but about how said lagging where doesn't always load, obviously was case for other areas of site, as mentioned.

Perhaps getting back to proper way, slowly, but surely!?!

Through all of this, I still meant to say thank you for the update, sorry got caught up.
Evy
Quote by Dice:
Do you think you could change up the stock of older masks in Migrating Masks? Some of them have been stocking for years on end. Time to shake things up and get some older holiday items back out there?
Ooh, I'd love to see some of the oldest retired masks returning! Like below and other colours.
Red Metal Masquerade Mask
Red Feather Mask
Purple Feminine Mask Piece
Yellow Masculine Mask Piece

(I believe all masks between 2009 and 2018 are currently retired)
Valiska
This is my favourite event and I am really glad to see all the Cybertronian-usable items but where are the ballgowns hiding?
omg_carrie
@Thia I was trying to figure out what flag all of the body glitters corresponded to, as well.
I think it goes...
Unusual = Genderqueer
Beautiful = Lesbian
Unique = Nonbinary
Myriad = Poly
Spirited = Aromantic
Ardent = Asexual
Mutable = Genderfluid
Fantastic = Gay male (? Not sure about this one)
Proud = Rainbow pride flag
Renewed = Trans
Complete = Pan
Vibing = Bi
Centered = Intersex (I think)

Brave I think is the Labrys flag? Not certain but there are a lot of Labrys flags on the site so it'd go with that. Then Unfazed I believe is Demi? And then idk what Keen is

Would love to know if I IDed them all correctly :) It was fun trying to pick them all out, I love how creative these are!!!
StarShadow
Wardrobe & forums have been working for me, just very slow.
Rynica
Any update on when forums and wardrobe will be fixed?
Oreo
@StarShadow you’re welcome, love! ♥️
StarShadow
@Oreo Thank you! :D
Cresenta
Asking for dance is doing nothing :(
desmodontinae
Glad it's not just me who is unable to log into my wardrobe.
Bliss
Fourms, inviting to dance and wardrobe don't seem to be working (again).
Astra
Hope we get some kind of update on the wardrobe by tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath.
Damon
Looks like Friday the 13th's curse extended to today.
StarShadow
Inviting to dance takes forever & usually doesn't seem to work so I'm stuck with mystery dances which take longer and don't give trinkets. I hope the invite dances are working tomorrow. Haven't had a single duel all day.
Phantomhive
@Katana - mystery dances give random things. Some times trinkets, sometimes items/sP/CSC/QPs it won't always be trinkets.
Caliban
@Kreedo Yeh. Every time there's an event like this one, use numbers double.
Thia
I mean right arm versions
Thia
Also why aren't there left arm versions for the gloves?
Thia
Clearly the body glitter items are supposed to be pride colors but I can't tell what some of them are (also, just a nitpick but shouldn't "bodyglitter" be two words?)
Beldam
I’m the same @EmCee :( I can only do mystery dances too.
Alexy
The wardrobe keeps saying I'm not logged in :/ Tried logging out and in again, no luck.
Dracona
Forums not loading, wardrobe not working, CWs not working, in fact the new site seems completely unable to work, and my partner can't even log into Subeta at ALL. Just get the spinny circle. I'm posting here because I have no ability to post on the forums as just spinny circle.

That said, the new items in the Menagerie and Lounge look amazing! I hope I get to use wardrobe to get a mask soon.
Pretzels
I'm sorry if me saying "well" at beginning of post seemed like since said on initial post, like sarcasm, that was not case, but just thought maybe sounded rude.

There seems to essentially be two scenarios, one where page keeps loading (sometimes says not logged in at first) and that has some of the time worked if wait long enough. Then there is where page loads, but says have to be logged in (my case). In each case everyone signed in on both versions of site.

By the way, I only kept my outfit on longer for Pride month, so I was waiting till day said about Masquerade to change. I suppose could've put hidden item with word mask, didn't think about, but also didn't think could be issue, so lesson learned there, if close to time, add mask (may not happen again, but in case), but obviously if various reasons didn't add mask, should still be able to after event starts.
EmCee
Can't dance with anyone except for the mystery dance feature.
I wanted to dance with friends, but it just lags out.
Gossamer
@StarShadow I have had two duels so far
MarsInsane
The wardrobe is still a blank page telling us to login but no way to reload the page or even login.
Saturnine
I know having your infra be surge ready may not be viable for a small site but now it's a little frustrating to still hardly be able to use the wardrobe.
Gambino
Wardrobe says I'm not logged in either, also.
Gambino
I'm guessing it's because it's a little busier here than normal but I also cannot get the forums to load to join dancing that way ):
StarShadow
Has anybody gotten a duel yet? I remember last year they seemed super rare.
Opundo
I managed to put on a mask, but the dance lag is pretty bad. I've been trying on an off all day, and only 3 dance requests have gone through for me.

Just doing mystery dances for now, which seems to be going relatively smoothly.
Katana
You just had an excellent dance with snom! Click here for the dance floor.

It was such a great dance, you've both been given 16,836 sP AND 1 quest point!

I'm not getting any trinkets for the lounge or the menagerie
Norn
Great it finally started, but the lag... I am logged in on https://new.subeta.net/ but neither site take ages to load, the forums won't load at all anymore. Is there something that can be done about the lag?
Marx
been trying to load the wardrobe for over 10 minutes, same page open, no refreshing. not working for me :(
StarShadow
This is 1 reason I always have a couple masq outfits ready to throw on right away.
Koharu
Wardrobe is working, you just need to give it 5+ minutes. Don't refresh, just wait. Then look up the mask you need, give it another few minutes, and slap it on. Save and you're good!
ufo
Wardrobe still not working for me so I can’t put a mask on :(
StarShadow
I wish there was an option to turn in all the trinkets at once instead of going back & forth between the 2 shops to submit them.
StarShadow
Wardrobe working for me but very slowly. I had a couple masq outfits ready to go so just put one on yesterday thinking it was going to start. Dance invitations not working so just using mystery dances for now.
Treeboa
Sigh... and again nothing is working. I'm getting really tired of all this.
SeriousGreen
Nothing working ~ inviting to dance just lags and keeps cycling. Accepting a dance gives zero trinkets. Looks like deleting all the Masquerade items was the least of the site problems. What fun...LOL
springblom
Eek, wardrobe says we need to login...even though we are, and then it just never loads. Friend also can't comment so this is a comment on their behalf as I managed to get on last week and put a mask on just in case.
Pretzels
Well, I was about to put my saved outfit on and wardrobe page keeps saying I have to be logged in, but I am logged in. I even deleted cookies and reset everything, logged in again, everything else working, but wardrobe still saying not logged in.
EvilRedDuckie
Happy Masquerade, everyone!

May I have this dance?
:heart:
far
As usual it's broken.
Will be back later I guess.
BoaConstrictor
Oops, just noticed I'm not wearing a mask yet... But the first mystery dance did not object, I think?
Anyway, wardrobe not loading, "you must be logged in", but page actually empty with a wildly spinning circle, trying to load the page...
This year everything seems broken :-(
Sensuous
mystery dance has given me 2 lounge trinkets and 5 menagerie trinkets over 5 mystery dances. i keep getting retired items worth 2-7k. is it random, or are retired items being prioritized? i have a lot of catching up to do for this event and it's a bummer I haven't been able to get many trinkets. :(
StarShadow
@osterizer The wardrobe has been working for me but I don't really have most of the wearables, only interested in the books. :D
osterizer
@StarShadow -- we're working on it, but we can't add wearable items if the wardrobe is down (that's where we get our overlay information from).
BoaConstrictor
I could open a dancing thread, posted - the board would never load again and I cannot invite. Since you need the forum in order to invite someone, earning trinkets is only possible via Mystery, which has a long cool down.
StarShadow
And I wish Subetalodge would put the new books in the system so I can read them to my pet.
Bliss
Inviting to dance isn't working. I gave up trying for time being
Kreedo
same crap everytime an event starts
StarShadow
The wardrobe & forums are working for me but I gave up on the inviting to dance because it just sits there so using mystery dance instead for now.
slippy
When you invite someone to dance it doesn't show up if it went through or not and the forums are not loading either.
amariet
Forums and wardrobe are not loading.. will this be addressed soon?

Is the wardrobe working for anyone else? I can't put my mask on 😭

I am completely smitten with every single new item but especially the robot sets! Thank you, Subeta artists, you're the best! :blue_heart:

i love waiting 30 seconds to 10 minutes for things to load...maybe one day an event will work as intended from the start...

@Amber sorry to ping, but are the body stickers intended to be collection ones as well or no? noticed they had the add to friends album option

I keep trying to ask people to dance and it's not doing anything

I had my mask on like 3 days ago knowing the site always does this, so if you have it on and can't dance, mystery dances are working.

I'm also having issues with accessing the wardrobe page. I cannot log in there and thus cannot give myself a mask to wear.

Can't access wardrobe. Logged in on the "new" site so I can access it fine. Just wardrobe won't load.

Yay!! Love Masquerade, but I don't know if my dances are going through, it's stuck on inviting to dance.
