SURVIVAL: kisses breaking everything

I know, I know. It’s not a Subeta holiday unless something breaks or the site lags. It wasn’t our intention to have literally everything die on us at once, but hey. It happens?

A little background information for those just tuning in for Survival. There was an issue where if you kissed someone, your strain (vial or whatever you chose from VIP) disappeared! :( Bug got a fix for it done so fast, you wouldn’t believe, but the site just wouldn’t take it. No matter how many times we redeployed, the site just refused. I’ve worked with Keith and Bug and finally, four hours later, the site itself should be running smoothly now. It’s only taken our blood, sweat, and tears, but it’s worth it for y’all to bite and kiss each other to become zombies and eat candy.

If you purchased a strain earlier and had it removed due to a kiss, file a ticket! UA’s will reimburse you. <3

We're still looking/working into everything else going on, but wanted to update you a bit!

Thank you all for the hard work

If we chose one of the new strains and are just waiting on it to take hold still we're fine, right? Or should we re-select them like those who were waiting on instant selections?

right now this theme is perfect due to site lag glitch as a infection style. Most people did not noticed this right away.

@Pistachio I would say that you don't have it anymore. Many of us that also signed up for the instant option see the message:

You've still got some time to wait, but you will receive an event once you've received your chosen virus!

Meh, I'll just buy mine again, you and Bug will have enough tickets flowing anyways.

So it seems like I have to resign up (had gotten random free, bitten till infected for crackhead) but it won't let me resign up. I did file a ticket... I'm a bit disappointed I might not be able to get reinfected tonight... even if it eventually lets me sign up forums aren't working so I can't get bitten. I appreciate you all have been working hard & must be exhausted.
Pistachio
I did the $25,000 to get one of the new strains at random and got the message that I'd been matched with a specialist but when I go to the VIP page it doesn't say anything about me having a strain already like it has in years past. It's all the options to pick a stain still, so do I have a strain or no?
Sefyra
That's IT for ya.

It's often thankless but I appreciate what you have to put up with. Good job :)
Merida
I don't think I lost mine.

I expected the lag once survival started. I just hope I don't have to wait to long for my new random strain to kick in. I picked it once Survival started and still have the prompt:

"Thanks for participating in the Volunteer Infection Program!
You've still got some time to wait, but you will receive an event once you've received your chosen virus!"

I'm still confused.
Gunner says I've signed (random new is what I did) up and am still waiting. Do I need to tell him I don't want it and then sign up again or will it still happen?
Marianne
I got the instant 2019 strain a little after 4 PM, but I still get the Thanks for participating in the Volunteer Infection Program!

You've still got some time to wait, but you will receive an event once you've received your chosen virus! message. Am I supposed to still be waiting? Thanks!
Diprosopus
lmao i spoke too soon. forum wont load again. :|
starglobes
Thank you for all your hard work, staff ; v;/
PiplupMagby34
OUCH.

I didn't know this was happening...

I knew the site might lag, but THIS?

Now I'm kinda glad I didn't get a virus right away....

Nevertheless, keep up the good work Subeta staff!
Diprosopus
forums are working now! wardrobe is broken. :/ the entire avatar preview panel won't show up.
humorless
I didn't know it was the kisses messing up the infections. It's ok now, though? But I have to start my infection over?

That really blows.

I mean I still love you all. But I'm also sad.
Amber STAFF
@MagnusTheRed We're looking into that!
MagnusTheRed
I have no idea if I got a strain or not, but I hit the Instant Random New Virus button a few hours back... >_>'
Ramby
Thanks Subeta the lag has been terrible so glad you fixed it :)
Amber STAFF
@Greg PLEASE
Snowflake

Greg
i'll gift you a shiny swinub for missing community day while fixing glitches and stuff
Amber STAFF
@Desolace Do a hard refresh! right now you don't have the right JavaScript
Avel
Awww, too bad about no extension. It's only three days shy of ending on my birthday. :P
Hunger
Thank you so much for all the hard work <3

Now it's just forums not loading, lol. Wow, kissing really did break everything, huh?
Amber STAFF
@Desolace cool cool cool, letting staff know
Desolace
@Amber
I use the forum buttons: left click does nothing (it just changes the url of the bite button to the url of the topic), right click + new tab results in 404.
Amber STAFF
We're not stretching Survival an extra day at this time, I already made it longer than I originally planned on :P
Elwyn
Thanks for the update. That last line made me laugh!
Noise
Thank you all for working so hard <3

@Amber
I can get other forums (ie Custom Clothing or Bug Reporting threads) to load, just not the ones in the Survival forum
Amy
Thank you for working so hard to fix this! WE APPRECIATE YOU. :purple_heart:
Cordyceps_sapiens
I bought the instant strain, never received notification that I got the infection. I'm a lot more concerned about being out the time than the little bit of SP. Maybe you can stretch Survival an extra day? Isn't that what happened last year?

Thanks for all your hard work on fixing things. Hopefully the forums can load soon.
Avel
@Amber
I saw! I was there. I screamed when Survival started, threw a hot bag, and almost knocked a picture down.
Then crawled through the lag.
Amber STAFF
@Jess yeah we're looking into it

TRUTH. ♥️ Thanks for always working so hard to keep the site running smoothly.
Tinkerbell
I didn't do the no wait option. That was my problem ;) So in case anyone else did what I did - make sure you went with the very bottom button and spend 25k on the new virus for the no-wait option :p Glad I double checked before doing a ticket!
Jess
@Amber Sorry to ping you again, I’m trying to buy my strain again after losing it and nothing is happening. I click on the name and the page doesn’t reload saying I can receive bites, nor is my sP reduced.
Stargazer
Does this fix the instant option?
glir
forums down for me, too :)
Austria
Thanks for working so fast, guys!

So if I go to Gunnar and he says
Thanks for participating in the Volunteer Infection Program!

You've still got some time to wait, but you will receive an event once you've received your chosen virus!

that means I'm still infected, right? And when the forums start working again I can go get bitten?
Amber STAFF
@Avel that's mostly what I meant by running smoothly hahahahaha because that lag was iNTENSE for a while
Avel
@Amber
For now. I'll give you that one.
Sparrow
I cant get on the forums, so i dunno if its already mentioned, but I noticed I'm wearing an item I dont actually own yet!
Pretty cool, but I'm saving candy hearts like mad to actually own the item instead of leaving it as is.
Amber STAFF
@Desolace are you using the old way? or are you biting through the forums button thing? We changed kissing/biting (and by we I mean bug and Keith).
Sehnsucht
Thank you for the hard work and for the timely update :)

I believe I purchased the Song strain from 2018. I'm not sure whether or not everything bugged out, as this is my first Survival. It looks like everything is okay, but was I supposed to receive an event notifying me of a confirmation of successful infection?

teacup132
@Avel I haven't been able to load the nvlb on survival board and I was supposed to be infected but now I might need to be reinfected goodness :S Tis holiday time :P
jensen
"Thanks for your interest in becoming an Infection Specialist!
Unfortunately, your strain hasn't progressed far enough for your bite to be effective, but try again later!"
i never got my "enjoy the ride" alert, but i've got the expensive emergency exit (1m to choose a new strain) instead of the free one so it looks like i'm good to go! that's fantastic, i'm glad the fix finally stuck, thank you guys so much for powering through ;w;
Rogue
Thank you for getting infections up and running!! I'm so happy this is working now ♥️♥️♥️
Every minute counts to get those skins ;)
