DANCE YOUR HEART OUT

We hope you’ve been practicing your dance moves because the Annual Masquerade Ball is finally here! Pace yourself, because the dance floor will be open until 11:59pm on April 8th! The Masquerade Forums will close at 11:59pm on April 9th!

Use the following code in your status and other places to get friends (and strangers) to share a dance with you!

Code:
[dance=USERNAME]
Masquerade Yaherra Mask
Aged Bauta Mask
Gold Shard Mask
Purple and Gold Masquerade Mask
Blue Beak Mask
Just a reminder that this is a Masquerade, so make sure you’re wearing a mask when you go to dance! Migrating Masks has opened back up and has plenty of masks for you to choose from.

Any item with the work ‘mask’ in the name will work for dancing, rarity doesn’t matter!

Bottled Chardonnay
Crab Sushi Burrito
Lemon Belly Jelly Shot
Sliced Geoduck In Sauce
Hot Buttered Rum
Strange Fruit Kebob

Nebular Illusion LED Tile
Round Dapper Telenine Plushie
Harder Better Stronger Faster Sticker
Dapper Doctor Vizier Mask
Rave-in
Red Braided Military Boots
Stop by the Libertine Lounge for some drinks and nibbles in-between dances! This is the only wave of items for the Libertine Lounge.

This is the first wave of items for the Menagerie! There will be one other wave released later in the holiday.

Keep an eye out for Boudewijn while you dance. If you manage to win a duel with him, he’ll give you a bag of trinkets. He won’t actually kill you in a duel, so no worries there!

Sorry doing too many things in other windows, that was supposed to be hundreds of dances. Maybe he got scared and ran away?
0

StarShadow

OK so where is he? I've done hundreds of duels since yesterday (someone invite bombed me ;)) without 1 single duel. Did it not get set up?

StarShadow

Anxiously awaiting new achievements and next wave of steam items. I love the steam shop. ;)
2

Ferinsy

@ulalena it doesn't seem like he's working. I found him only once in the dancefloor, I even looked into the image URL for the character to see if it was really Boudewijn, and it was, but no duel at all...
0

Hollykins

Yeah know.. it would be great if I didnt have a full 5 minute loading screen in between accepting dances.. how on earth does anyone with a job get though any of this?!
0

StarShadow

What happened to the duels? I just accepted and danced over 120 invites and not 1 single duel. :(
2

ulalena

Is there a Boudewijn this year at all?
I didn´t see him all the days, alas.
1

Hellbent

@Kupomeg The stars are basically a count of how many comments that you've made on the forums. More stars = more posts.
1

Asunay

Hey =)
How can i unlock Boudewijn?
0

Kupomeg

Can anyone tell me what the stars are supposed to mean on the forums? I had none and now I have one. Out of my (almost 12) 11 years of playing, this is the first time around where I will have a chance to do this holiday <______> So, I'm a bit behind on some of the terms/meanings.

StarShadow

Glad to see when I logged on this morning that the lag seems to be mostly gone. Thank you. Now I can dance on the forums again. ;)

Snarky

@Valiska
You make a good point about the lag. It definitely makes the reclickable buttons less desirable if they're the cause of it! The kissing buttons weren't reclickable, at least they weren't for me. But I also didn't experience any lag (or at least not much that I remember, if any) during survival.
0

StarShadow

Well it's impossible to dance on the forums because the lag keeps taking forever and loses my post so have to dance with friends I guess.
1

Valiska

@Snarky will you still love the reclickable dance buttons after I point out that both during survival and during this event, there was a major amount of lag and those were the only changes to how the event worked that I could suss out?
0

Valiska

Insufficient steam to punk ratio. The next wave of items better have more Upper Ziara style.
0

Sunfire103

Not sure what this lag is caused from... but maybe it would be nice to have a random dance link - like we have for tot??
This way it wouldn't boggle the forums so much...
4

StarShadow

And is there something wrong with the forums? I've tried to post 3 times in the dance forum and every time my post disappears. I can't find it to know who above me to invite, it's just not there. :(

beinagrind

I appreciate getting the quick feet buff but it's nearly unusable with this lag q_q

Wienna

The lag is so bad... This is my favourite event and right now even sending out a dance request takes ages.
*cries in a corner*

StarShadow

Masq is my favorite event on Subeta but this is torture. Sure hope it gets fixed soon.
4

Targaryen

This lag is getting very annoying!!! Please stop it

Navem

Masquerade is my favorite time on Subeta and I am not able to enjoy it because of the lag. Hope it gets fixed soon.

I LOVE Masquerade, and we love y'all, staff. I'm just not in love with the lagmonsters. ahhhhh!!!! :D :D :D

StarShadow

Argh this is frustrating. I have to leave for work in a couple minutes and the site is still trying to make my post in the forum to dance. Grrr. Please fix the lag.

So much lag. =(

I love those capes but the arms? are so tiny???
At least both sides are equally puny, so they look ok together, but if you just put on one it looks REALLY weird.

All well and good, but it's too laggy to dance. It took 4 minutes to load this page. :/

OMG the lag is so bad I'm giving up dancing and will come back to try again later and hope it's fixed by then.

it would be very nice to play this event without pages taking over 2 minutes each to load. :(

Is it just me or is the lag back again. Pages taking long time to load.

I must say that I'm LOVING the re-clickable dance buttons so I don't have to reload the page every time I want to dance with the same person! Thank you!

Like the dance pop-up box! Nice! :D
Really though, am not at all prepared for this, so guess I'm using the rave outfit from last year for a while. haha...

I thought you fixed the lag? Wasn't the site taken down for nearly an entire day JUST THE OTHER DAY to fix that shit? My mistake.

And I'm going to show up to the ball in my current outfit. Just watch me.

jensen

@kerouaille you can also layer the extra mask behind your base so you don't have to worry about it looking good with the signet! just drag it below your base layer :)
2

The background is stunning this year! Awesome art :)
0

CassieFenix

I'm just going to buy the trinkets this year, cause I don't see many things I need. :P

Also, Lag is too annoying to stay on for longer than 15 or so minutes.
1

kerouaille

@Amber Ah okay! <3 I've managed to find a domino mask that sits behind it without making it look weird for now :)
0

Amber

@kerouaille The item doesn't have mask in the name. :) We used to have masks tagged to work, but that was leaving out *so many*, so we just gave up and just made it any item with 'mask' in the name. I'll work on getting those to make sense to work :)
2

kerouaille

is there a reason
Comtesse Ribbon Signet
doesn't count as a mask even though it is a mask?

AAAAAAA FINALLY THE MASQUERADE. I had my avatar ready for this days in advance in anticipation of the massive lag.

Kind of glad I did that actually. Love the Masq, hate the Lag.

@qarakuzi ~ yes, you should visit the dance floor to get to duel. It's random when it happens.

I have a question: Are we supposed to get tokens when we ask someone to dance?? Because I am not getting any :(

kuzi

in order to find boudewijn, do i have to check the dance floor? because with this lag it's barely worth it to check the dance floor with each dance... also does anyone know how often he appears if you do check the dance floor?

seriously tho' - I was watching new items come into the directory and waited and waited and went to bed 2 minutes before this news post XD

Happy Masq everyone! Hope to see you on the dance floor!
Or more likely, in the checkout line at Libertine Lounge or Steamworks Menagerie - these items are wicked!

Please solve this horrible lag :( we want play!

stars_water

I do also want to add, the Neon Revolution Wigs are KILLING me! I absolutely LOVE how they look in the thumbnails, but, and correct me if you think I'm wrong I guess, but to me they look like they're taller on the actual avatars and it doesn't look nearly as nice. They look like they swoosh backwards more in the tiny preview and upwards more on the actual avatar, even when accounting for perspective differences.

I was looking forward to the event but with the current lag, it is sadly no fun at all :(

stars_water

Take ALL of my YES for these hover bikes! Holy moly <3 I have waited so long for Subeta to come out with motorcycles that were more my speed, even though I wanted to I could never bring myself to use the others.

I do agree with some of the others though, even though this is literally my favorite event on this site, the lag is testing my patience.
1

Valiska

The lag is making it impossible to do anything and then we start a sitewide event?

a heartfelt thank you to everyone involved with bringing us the Dapper Doctor items - they are now my favourite items onsite, especially the masks like wow TTuTT bless
and YAY for my favourite event! bring on the dancing~

Laurey

@Isilven
I believe from previous years, you only get challenged if you visit the dance floor, which you get the option to do when you accept an invite someone sent you or in the sidebar alert you get when someone accepts one of your dances. I think he appears as a popup, and you can choose to accept his challenge and play a game of rock paper scissors basically.

@Frenchi For now just use an item with the word 'mask' in the name. :)

Isilven

How does Boudewijn work, anyways? Is there just a random chance when you click someone's dance link that you'll get a challenger alert?
0

Frenchi

oh, aren't the nobility masks from a few years back supposed to work even though they don't have the word 'mask' in their name? e.g. the Marquesa Rose Signet i'm wearing right now? i'm still being told i can't dance because i'm not wearing a mask.

@Muerte
actually, i saw your suggestion for more skeleton bits and suggested glowy bone torsos and arms + posted a jelly skelly zombie lady as a reference. i don't know if that was the suggestion they used, but i wouldn't have thought to bring it up if i didn't see your suggestion, 8)

Muerte

Also, may Hades bless you for including sweetheart colors.

@jensen
Not exactly, I suggested skeleton pieces that matched the glowing ribs from last year. I am very excited over the jelly skeleton though, and it reminds me of the zombie skin Clusterflux (which I loooove and complained about it not coming in pink to Gemma, AHAHA though I love the green)
ALTHOUGH NOW I HOPE FOR SKULLS MAYBE ?!?!
