Carried items disappear when registering for event

[dusty mist]

I was running with building mortar in my hands to finish upgrading lumbermill when popup for VoD registration showed up. Upon accepting it to register for the upcoming event, the interaction animation occured and I ended up empty handed 😅

Probably my fault. Long ago, when they introduced the carried stones you can throw, I picked one up and queued for arena; the stone came in with me... 😅

[dusty mist]

ah, I just registered, there was still 4 mins before VoD starts.. it's ok they disappear when teleporting you 😅

Noooooooo someone managed to do this before me 😂

How did you manage to do it though, accepting the duel makes you drop the stone AFAIK and then picking up takes longer than teleportation time

[hallow oasis]

It used to work, i just had to pick up stone and queue. After i found out it worked i reported it; im assuming that's why carried items disappear.

u know; maybe it would be best to give players an error and message if they have already have their hands full and try to queue for something. 'You cant do this while hands are full' or w/e

[dusty mist]

Agreed, that's one possible viable solution 😉

Other would be to not trigger "Interaction" action when you're just registering.. this may not be the only case when it interferes with something

[hallow oasis]

well, 'registration' is an interaction; it has to be to require a small amount of time to pass before initiating a possible teleport, otherwise it will be abused as an instant escape (register after the event starts and its an instant teleport)

Not sure about other events, but for VoD it was 5 mins before any teleportation occurrence.. you register and after those 5 mins you're teleported and you're free to vote for the modifiers of the match meanwhile 🤔
