Infected Vials
Ah, ahem, is this thing on? Oh, I\'m on now? This is live!?Er, hello citizens of Subeta. I\'m Nurse Margo with the Center of Infectious Disease. You might remember helping me to treat ill snow faeries during Luminaire?
It it my regret to inform you that Subeta has been experiencing a new series of infections this year, the source of which is not known at this time. While these infections are resistant to our vaccine, they do not appear to be as virulent as in past years, and we at the CID are confident in saying that these are temporary illnesses. Anyone who becomes infected is advised to get plenty of bed rest until the infection passes.
Any information about potential infection causes should be reported to your local CID representative in order to help us better understand and combat these illnesses.
Thank you for your cooperation!

Why is everyone upset about that :| seriously, complaining about no zombie. Now complaining its not permanent. I think its cool :U
My only question, does it show up over my zap/old zombie skin so I can actually use it?

Thank you subeta, I love the new zombie skins :) I hope you will give us the option to opt-in to keep them, like some have the option to opt-out. But if not, thank you for all the hard work and designing you've done. Keeps fingers crossed for the opt to keep.

I don't mind the infections being temporary. I'm just wondering how far these infections will go as far as I'm concerned.

thank you subeta for the viruses ..I took the creeping vial ..I really dont know how ugly I will get.
but too bad we cant choose to stay this way ..but now at least in a couple of days I can visit
skitters (the intolerant zombie) to buy the den items.. so, I guess its a compromise that I could

Yay! I was wondering if the organ harvesting would lead to this! I honestly don't really care if the infections are only temporary! Just so long as I can be a zombie for a little while again.

I wish they weren't temporary, it makes it less fun to me :( I want to be stuck with my virus for the rest of my days!

Okay, thanks for letting me know. :) Was just trying to help the users out if they needed it.

Bubbles only wants harvested parts now. The 
isn't "valuable" anymore because it won't be asked for in the Lost Skeleton Quests.

yeahhh... 6,3 mio for just 2 differend vials... cool... :( ... and if u harvest a organ, after u must wait up to 20 min...:(... that sucks...

No such Item... what the heck subeta. How can you even begin to do a quest if the item doesn't exist?
0
SAKE
I don't know whether I should continue giving up until Bubbles asks for something that's available in stock or wait it out until I can actually snatch something that's needed. But with my luck, I might end up wasting another hour of not getting the pastry I need. ughughugh

Maybe there's a reason they're making it especially difficult! Seems like it is probably on purpose, since the Good-Effort Sweet Pea Cookie Bits is a new item. The description is a little odd too, the bit about flowers....maybe there's some other way to acquire these guys besides the shop?

Yikes. asked for the Good-Effort Sweet Pea Cookie Bit all 5 times. Kinda sucks when there aren't any of the items available.

I just assume they aren't released yet. I also just noticed they've updated the profile comments page.. maybe they should be working on something else :p

@Nightmares oh man :D he is asking me for the Cookie Bits right now and I've been stalking Elsie's shop for half an hour now. NOTHING. Some of the vials themselves are down to 250k by now though. Guess I'll still try to complete one for the achievement...

lmao I got asked for the cookie bits all 5 times. I actively tried to restock them for an hour, and then just passed on all the other quests because I was like, "lol nope." >:c

Can y'all make it so the quests are actually possible to COMPLETE? maybe after that you can reset the quests for the people who actually want to fucking DO THEM. collapses from stress

I kind if wish the zombie strain from year one were like, permanently with us (those who were on and infected that year) So that much like how chicken pox can later become shingles, the old virus has a chance of flaring up this time of the year.

@Random @Nightmares He asked me for the Cookie Bits, too.
On top of the points I listed before, the site is lagging for me again (event?? more than 2000 users??) so I don't think I'll be able to restock well. Can the items he asks for get a bit more diverse, or can you make Elsie restock larger quantities?

Good-Effort Sweet Pea Cookie Bits. I got asked for them for all 5 quests. Couldn't finish a single one.

five_507
Okay, it is actually really annoying that I'm unable to complete a single quest because the new zombie food items don't restock. And if they do, over 2000 users are online right now. It's virtually impossible for me to snatch one of maybe two or three cookies or whatever he's asking for in the next quest between hundreds of users probably waiting for the same item. I harvested so many organs now, and I can't put them to use because the foods don't restock. Can he ask for food more diversely so that everyone gets a chance?

Good-Effort Sweet Pea Cookie Bits.. those don't even exist and this skeleton guy has asked for it twice.. so now i have 3 more quests i hope i can get items for >_>

Hmm...well...maybe I can get the cookies in an hour. This is the 4th quest that has asked for them. I'LL WAIT AND HOPE and if not maybe #5 will be more helpful. Also @Predator your image totally jacked up my mobile view of the site...it kept bouncing everything below it...gave me an eyeache. :(

lol asked for Blueberry Wafered 3 times and one of the new Elsie's pastries. They aren't even available to be brought!
Maybe the Free Shop will take pity on us like in some other plots and provide us with items?

Kinda confused about how the infections are temporary and yet....once they've worn off we can't try a new one?
I mean that doesn't seem to make much sense to me..am I missing something?

THIS IS A COOL THING but I had to quit every single quest because nobody had the food items I needed :c It's kind of lame spending a bunch of time harvesting organs, then not being able to do anything with them. Like... I have a HUMAN BRAIN HEART AND LIVER THAT I MERCILESSLY TORE FROM THE BODY OF MY FRIEND, but I can't find a cookie so I can't play /oAo/ And it would also be cooler if the zombie thing could be permanent, but whatever I TRUST YOU GUYS maybe it's temporary for a cool reason.
0
Tucker
I couldn't do any of the five quests because other than the organs I was asked for only two different items that no longer exist in user shops. One was one of the cookies released yesterday (asked on three quests) and the other was a older baked item (asked on two quests). At this point I think it's cheaper to just buy the vials instead doing the quests. lol Which I may just do.

Oh fun! Now if only I could stop getting snot while harvesting from people. I never get the body parts I need. *Laughs*

Having to quit 4 out of the 5 quests due to totally unbuyable foodstuffs sucked. One was brand new. The other one has an overall average price of around 15k. Isn't super rare. Yet does not exist on shop search.

hermes
two unbuyables in a row (actually spent one full hour trying to get a hold of the first one, jfc)... wow. i'm glad i'm already a zombie so i won't need these vials to access skitters, but, man i'd still really like to ENJOY these new quests. any news on the "will they reset or what" front? anyone know anything (since it appears staff aren't even checking this comment section)?

I hope that it develops to a point to where it becomes permanent. I do not want to be a zombie just for Survival. I want to be a zombie... FOREVER. ...Actually, I'm not even being dramatic. I've always wanted to be a zombie just... because.

i personally think it is fun that the infections are only temporary
most people cure after the event anyway

if you cannot get into the zombie den with the current strains it is because they have not yet progressed enough to qualify you as a zombie, in the past there has been 6 or more stages of each virus (zombie den only allowed stage 5 and up I think it was.. been awhile)
personally I like this new change of how we get infected :3

What's the point of having new strains if you can't enjoy them forever? :( I'm also a little miffed at how anti-undead this plot is, so far.

even with the past non-temporary infections you could only get to skitters when it was a bit more developed, like in stage 4 or 5 of the infection or something
these are no different i guess

Anyone else find it suspicious that Bubbles is the one handing out vials? :o IIRC, the 2012 plot ended with Ecks providing him with a machine that would help him 'make drinks'. Now - I'm not so sure...

... are these 5 quests the only quests we'll get, ever? or will they reset after midnight? i, like another user, just got a completely unbuyable item (not in shops, not in trades), and it just sucks having to quit a LE quest like this.
0

Any chance the shop(s?) are going to restock more/faster, since some items are super inflated, or at the point of there only being one left in user shops.. :U

since the max is 5 quests and there are 5 vials but i did 2 so far and got the same vial twice, i'm assuming that these quests will reset tomorrow so we can do more quests for collection purposes yes?

Guys you gotta go to the underground where the Alchemist is and go to the Lost Skeleton and poke around the shop until Bubbles asks for your help. I clicked to buy an item when the RE showed up. Best wishes!

Could all of the harvested items have harvested in their names ? With the added lag, grabbing the items out of my vault is a bit of a pain when I have to look up so many different names, ahahaha

@Lorehn I was being asked about last year (2013) in particular, and I said there wouldn't be zombies that year, and not until we found out some new way of doing it that was a little bit different. I've never said no new zombies ever :).
