Cannot Enter Festia Minigame Tail Chasers

[wanton monolith]

This has been a previously reported bug that I reported on the forums, but it's been about 2-3 years and still no progress has been made towards fixing this.

Summary:
The Festia minigame, Tail Chasers, is currently broken and does not allow anybody to play the minigame. The error message "You failed to enter the attraction. Please try again later" appears. Another error message may appear, but this extra error message does not seem to always occur. This error message is "You cannot currently enter the dungeon with this item. Please try again later."

Difficulty:
Intermediate. I am unable to get 5k Festia achievement points because I cannot get the Tail Chasers achievements. This means there are some unattainable items now such as the Festia Merchant Wig (F) and the Festia Merchant Hat and Wig (M). The with Grabby Hands 1st Title cannot be received anymore either.

Occurrence:
Always.

Here's the original forum post where I document the exact steps to replicate and some screenshots. I have also attached a newer screenshot to show that it still persists even in 2024. The error seems to indicate that it's because of some item that is in the player inventory, but this happens on freshly made characters too. It does not seem to matter what you have in your inventory at all and seems that it's blocking everyone from entry into Festia Tail Chasers. I've tested extensively with friends and also the 3v3 option and no luck.

I'd like to note that we have asked a KR Mabinogi player streaming on Twitch to see if their Festia Tail Chasers minigame was also broken, but they were able to enter with no issues. So it appears it might only affect NA Mabinogi for whatever reason.

I would love to add that this issue very suspiciously started near or even exactly when the 13th Anniversary Celebration Event happened for the NA Server, which also very suspiciously introduced an alternate Festia Minigame Pass called the 13th Anniversary Festia Entry Pass which took priority over the Festia VIP Pass (recently renamed to Festia Mini-game Ticket).

Like, the game almost certainly is either looking for a 13th Anniversary Festia Entry Pass, or its no longer correctly looking for a Festia VIP Pass/Festia Mini-game Ticket. The error message even seems to imply this.

@iron ore If you could maybe see if it allows you to enter using a 13th Anniversary Pass?

Lint! I really hope this is the fix they weren't bothering to look for so we can have the game back!

[wanton monolith]

It's dungeon crawler tag, you get dropped into an rpg level and choose talents, then clear rooms to progress in a circle. Whoever catches up to the other wins.

[fossil lintel]

Win if one "touch" the back? right? like "Pilla Pilla" & "Hide and Seek"?

[frosty fulcrum]

Yea that

the dungeon "rooms" go in a circle 3x3 connecting to one another. so when one person clears rooms faster than the other, and opens the room that would lead to where the other person currently is, they win.
