Odd floating ball!!

May 8, 2010 - 12:30am — Waka
It seems that sometimes there is a large purple-pink ball floating and moving near the graveyard and I have encountered it a couple of times and it sometimes follows and circles you and cast spells Redface . When it lays(I think) on a sleeping or laying down deer it turns into a deer but only for a short time. When it does chang it is just a normal deer with no pelt design or any thing! What is it? Please tell me!

EDIT: I saw it agian today and it was creepy it ollowed me and when I got close it dissappeared!!

Probably someone, who turned

Probably someone, who turned on the "Genderless avatar" in game menu.

But you can't see someone

But you can't see someone with that turned on. You can only see yourself.

Fawns do that normally

Fawns do that normally anyway. If you really need this proven, play as genderless and get someone to take a screenshot for you.

When it was a deer was there

When it was a deer was there a picto??

It might be M or A. or a new glitch.

Even though it's since

Even though it's since clarified enough, I believe Pretzil's point was not that people are drawn to mysterious orbs/they start dance parties easier/fawns follow them everywhere, but by these things happening it proves that others in the forest can, indeed, see them, which is the point Pretzil was addressing.

Anyway, I'm curious about this as well. o:

I just tested this by opening

I just tested this by opening two forests and far as I can tell, you can't see genderless balls. o.o
Although that could be because I using the same computer?

I think the confusion is that

I think the confusion is that Rell's comment made it sound like, when you have the "genderless avatar" on, people can't see you at all. That's not the case.
As far as I know, while you see yourself as a pink ball, everyone else sees you as a naked deer.


In response to the original topic. A couple weeks ago, I saw a glowing orb near the ruins. It looked like a "god orb". However, using "listen" showed that the orb apparently had a pictogram, and that it appeared to be sleeping...and the picto was not that of Michael or Aureia. I think it was just a weird glitch. However, the glowing orb I saw was not pink. It was white. The pink ball you describe does sound like the pink ball that your deer turns into when having the "genderless avatar" option on. However, as stated above, if someone does have that on, normally other people should only see them as a normal deer. So, that sounds strange. Maybe a really odd glitch.
