Ignoring, Horse Swaps & Global Store
Using the ignore and global store features can be an awesome way to enhance your routines.
Because of the screen delay, lag, and navigating your screen, timing ignores is extremely difficult.
Below are our tips and tricks for ignoring and global store.
Why and When
The ignore and global store features are mostly seen in routines.
The usage for global stores is typically enterances and exist so you fade out. You may have seen but when you press the hot key K it opens the global store and you slowly disappear.
This is supposed to be so you can browse the store in 'peace' but this is a great advantage to dressage.
The ignore feature is typically used to ignore players that may be annoying, or disrupting your SSO experience. If done strategically it can help you trade places within routines.
For example, if you are trotting inline, and you ignore your commander, you can then move to another part of the arena for a separate shape.
How to Ignore
STEP 1
Press the HOT KEY F and then switch to the ignore tab. You can then move this window to the top right-hand corner of your screen.
STEP 2
Your commander can put a '.' in chat that you will then click to ignore from the drop-down menu.
STEP 3
When you ignore another player it takes about 7 seconds for them to disappear. If you point your camera at them. It will make them disappear faster.
STEP 4
When you ignore you must go into the global store for the full 7 seconds until they disappear.
STEP 5
Exit the global store after 7 seconds and get into the position you need to be in.
STEP 6
Unignore your commander and reenter the global store until the go is called for your next move.
STEP 7
On go Exit the global store with the HOT KEY K and continue to your next movement.
Screen Set-up
You will notice I have moved my ignore window to the top right-hand corner of my screen.
When I am ready to unignore you have quick access to the window whilst it is out of the way and won't disrupt your dressage.
It is also important to note that you will have to strategically move your mouse across the screen to get there, but it is definitely doable.
Horse Swaps
Swapping horses mid-routine is a super creative way to mix things up for only a small number of riders
Changing horses requires you to follow an in-depth and intense process.
Make sure to follow the ignore steps 1 - 5 above then you can call for a pickup to your home stable.
To start, you need to make sure your home stable is super close to the trailer to cut our running time.
We recommend Tailtop Village for your home stable during routine work.
There is only about a 5-second run from the trailer to the stable.
You are going to want to have the horse you are swapping to already tacked up and at the very front of your stable ready to be mounted. If you need to change over leg wraps or a saddle, remove it from your first horse while running, and change it to the second horse while running back to the trailer.
When you get back to the arena make sure to unignore then go back into the global store, then continue to the rest of your routine.
This whole process should take about 1 minute if done properly.
