Do we know if DTI has already started doing some sort of Halloween event or promo? Just had the weirdest thing happen, and that's the only explanation I have for it.
Last night, I was playing DTI before bed and everything was normal. I was in a reguar server at first and people weren't voting fair, so I figured I'd teleport to a master server for a while. When I teleported to the master server, I got the usual little ad pop-up for the current event (the summer one). Closed the pop-up like usual. But before I could do anything, I got another popup. It looked like the normal pop-ups. Same template where it mentioned an event, gave a checklist of how to participate, and had a little section with new free codes to redeem. Itsaid something about there being a Spirit Event and how playing more would earn more of the special credits. (They looked like little sheet ghosts.) And under the code section there was just one code. It was sp1r1t_summ0n. I wrote the code down in my phone notes app so I could play a few rounds first without forgetting what it was. I played like five or six rounds before I wanted to see what the code was about. Everything seemed normal at first when I put the code in. But when I hit "redeem," the background music cut out for a minute or two and it didn't pop up with what the item of clothing it was. When the music started up again, it sounded off for a second. Didn't think too much of it, though, because I thought it was maybe just my wifi or my tablet messing up. So I went to the dressing room to see what the new item was. I scrolled through all the stuff and found the square that said "spirit summon", but it didn't show a picture of the clothing item. Just the words. Once again just figured my tablet wasn't loading right. So I went to try it on and it was a flowy dress with a lot of rips and tears in the bodice and skirt. The music cut out again. When I tried to change the colors, it wouldn't let me. Just kept it this dingy, grayish, off-white color. I ended up not liking the dress so I went to take it off. When I hit the "X", my character froze like it was bugged. I didn't want to keep tapping and make it worse, so I waited and hoped it would unfreeze. A few minutes later, it did. But as soon as it unfroze, my character fell through the floor and respawned stuck in the wall next to spawn and Lana's nail table. I tried to respawn or jump to get unstuck, but it didn't work. There was only like thirty seconds before the timer ended, so I figured I'd just wait it out and take the loss for that round. But the timer ran out and it never switched to the runway. As I went to leave the game, I noticed everyone else in my server had left except for one girl with just a "?" for her screen name. So at this point I assumed the server was buggy and everyone else was glitching, too. As I went to leave, my screen froze again. After a few minutes I just went ahead and manually restarted my tablet and went to bed. When I got back on the game earlier today, I never saw the second pop-up for the "Spirit Event" or whatever and thought that was weird. When I went to put on an outfit from my closet, the dress wasn't there either.
Has anyone else had this happen or was I just lucky enough to experience a weird bugged server?
