also suffering from this problem. my achievements are not reflecting me winning/losing.

I noticed I can continue accepting dances by returning to the Masquerade. An option to return to the duel will be listed and the duel pop-up will happen again after another dance/set of dances is accepted. As others have stated, there's nothing gained when winning a duel but also nothing when losing. There's 2 achievements (one for winning, one for losing) and neither get triggered for me.

Another victim of Boudewijn. I think he must have gotten too dizzy from all the dancing or something because not only am I getting penalties/nothing from our duels, but his dialogue is mixed up as well.

I just won severeal duels in a row with Boudewijn and didn't get any reward. But then went back to regular Subeta and did one mystery dance and ended up with 171 Lounge trikets and 178 Steamwork trinkets in my invetory. Maybe that will work for others if they win a duel with Boudewijin.

I am having a problem with the group dance as each time there is a dual with Boudewijn, no matter what item I use to fight him, it keeps showing up that I am using a ruby dagger.

I just wait until my dance group queue gets filled with more than 5 dances before accepting them all at once so I don't keep running into a duel for those dances. I do run into the duels every time I accept the dances even when bulk accepting...lost maybe once and won four times that I can think of (I always start with the sword - third option - and it seems to give me a victory for the first round that way; second and third rounds are toss ups).

I'm getting duels almost every single dance 😓 It's truly driving me insane! And I don't even need the achievements anymore.....I wish we could decline the duels or at least have them be less frequent!

Just popping in to confirm that I have also run into two issues with Boudewijn on the kumos site. Everything works fine with him on the legacy site.

1. Winning against Boudewijn awards no trinket bags.

2. When you choose the Pearl Flat Sword and Boudewijn chooses the Ruby Dagger, the text claims that you have chosen the Ruby Dagger and Boudewijn has won by chosing the Pearl Flat Sword.

yep not only have i lost every single duel, the dialogue is reversed from what actually happened on that turn:

exhibit A: i picked the opal rapier, boudewijn picked the ruby dagger. i won the round. left side of the image confirms this is correct; right side of the image says the opposite. the purple background is my custom theme's version of the green "success" color so you can tell this is a win.

exhibit B: i picked the pearl flat sword, boudewijn picked the ruby dagger. i lost the round. left side of the image confirms this is correct; right side of the image says the opposite. red background indicates this is a loss.

Can we have opt out of the dual with Boudewijn Maybe flee to the dance floor button.

I'm also quite getting tired of Boudewijn. We should be able to refuse a duel at this point. You gain nothing when winning, and you can't accept any dances for 15 min when losing. I don't get it.

from the comments on the News post (I haven't tried this myself):

Xoo @ 06/27/25 3:53 pm TIP to avoid Boudewijn:

If you have more than 10 dances waiting, accept all 10, then on the duel screen hit the back button in your browser. This will avoid the duel, and Kumos will properly update your dance count. This allows you to accept 10 a time and no need to deal with Boudewijn. I blasted through 50-something this morning and it worked perfectly.

Thanks for the tip T0T I'm tired of this guy, he want ALL THE DANCES

- no problem, but all credit goes to , I just happened to spot it!

I'm so glad this is working for everyone! For fun today... I choose to duel him. Lost every one! So yeah, put this dude in the clink.
