According to the devs, this is working as intended: > [@Cannot join pet events without performing rituals](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/cannot-join-pet-events-without-performing-rituals/38820/8): > > I mentioned on the feedback/suggestions thread (in the original post) that the intention is that the Pet Event notification only appears once you have completed a battle or opened the game to the World Map in case you were wondering slight_smile+1 Originally this design choice was made because we wanted to make the notifications to not be obtrusive (i.e. appearing during a battle…). However, if the above is not true, have you left Gems open, but minimised, or have you completely launched … So, I suppose this should be a feature request. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/pet-event-notification-failure/39323)._
