SURVIVAL: kisses breaking everything



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:

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.
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?

That's IT for ya.
It's often thankless but I appreciate what you have to put up with. Good job :)

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!

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?

I got the instant 2019 strain a little after 4 PM, but I still get the Thanks for participating in the Volunteer Infection Program!

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!

forums are working now! wardrobe is broken. :/ the entire avatar preview panel won't show up.

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.

I have no idea if I got a strain or not, but I hit the Instant Random New Virus button a few hours back... >_>'


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?

We're not stretching Survival an extra day at this time, I already made it longer than I originally planned on :P



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.

TRUTH. ♥️ Thanks for always working so hard to keep the site running smoothly.I know, I know. It’s not a Subeta holiday unless something breaks or the site lags.

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!



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?

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.

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?


"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;
