Pets and Emote Menu Issues

[fierce sable]

With the introduction of the Emote Menu, there are a few issues with how it interacts with pets.

• Bringing up the Emote Menu hides your pet. This means that you can't dance or emote alongside your pet anymore, which used to be possible and they would dance with you.
• If you bring up the Emote Menu, and then try to play as your Pet, your Pet remains hidden so you are walking around as an invisible Pet. Cancelling playing as your Pet makes it visible again.
• While playing as your Pet, pressing the 'Dance' button in the Pet menu in the lower left doesn't do anything. You also can't bring up the Emote Menu while playing as a Pet, so there is no way to make a Pet dance anymore.

I wrote up a bug - programmer is looking into it

Sad it wasn’t reported in TR 😔

(If it was it wasn’t seen by me or him)

We also have some UI changes coming - we’ll see about naming Victory Dances to “Equipped Victory Dances” and seeing when we can get a help pages made.

I was not able to access the emote menu inside my massive fantasy palace, inside or out. As soon as I left to the bazaar, I was able to. I was also not able to use the dance floor in my house

[proud sandal]

We got the dance floor issue on the list - we’re gonna get a fix out next update hopefully

For the massive fantasy palace, were you the only one there? Also did you have any castle magic that would be messing with it?

My friend was also not able to access the wheel in the house. When I left the house and came back, I was able to get the wheel to work outside

[proud sandal]

Yeah, we know about that one as well - it’s the first person who is in the zone can access the wheel, but then the castlemagicUI (which is invisible) is making it so no one else can use it.

aha that's super interesting

[proud sandal]

I’m annoyed I didn’t find all these edge cases sooner

Like how could I forget about dance floor?!

[modern beacon]

Sounds like you need to dance more!!

[proud sandal]

It’s murder on that dance floor

I just emailed them about this and they directed me to the discord. I'm so happy other people are bringing it up!!! I love dancing with my pet or dancing as my pet. I really hope they fix this soon 🥺

These issues are almost entirely fixed as of the recent patch, but the only one that remains is a specific case with the first bullet point, which is if you're on a mount when you open your emote wheel, your pet never joins you in dancing. So if you want to dance with your pet, you need to unequip your mount, then open up emotes

I'll bring up the mount/pet emote issue with Alon

He might know how to solve the problem easy, he's big brained
