Survival Extension + Quest Bonuses

Hi everyone!

Unfortunately earlier today we accidentally cleared (mostly) everyones infections. Our mistake can be your gain, however! We’re going to be extending Survival until 11:59pm on March 8th, so you might be able to squeeze in an extra infection this year! You will need to reinfect, sorry everyone!

We’ve also reset quests for the day. Why does this matter? All quest givers will be giving out candy hearts until 11:59pm on March 1st! Quests also have a higher chance of dropping Morty Cards during this time.

Edit:

The time limit for biting has been temporarily reduced to help you recover your infections faster.

Are quest givers giving out more Morty Cards than usual, too? I've been getting a LOT of them.

Riser 02/26/19 5:45 pm

This definitely doesn't jettison my love for this holiday, and DEFINITELY doesn't obviate how much work the team puts into this! Shout out to Bug, who I've come to admire and appreciate all the more this Survival.
This was been a wonderful Survival and I'm so excited by some of the new perks, I'm so grateful you guys always go above and beyond!

we all have to be re-infected by the vip guy again

the button says "free "today - but when i choose freckle fever there is 1.500.000 less sp on my amount

so its not free now and i have to pay twice for one infection this way :(

Rookie 02/26/19 5:42 pm

It still says I'm infected everywhere and man I hope it's right cause I'm on the second to last stage and I'm gonna be quite upset if not, lol. Thanks for the communication. Too bad I didn't do my quests earlier!

AndroidTrash 02/26/19 5:42 pm

I don't think this is anything to do with the virus glitch but I just got a forum box but it says I 'got a !' when I opened it. What did I get lol nothing showed up and now I have no box or gift ?

Skree 02/26/19 5:41 pm

Would it be possible to lower bite wait times a bit, as well? Make it easier on those of us who are trying to reinfect the site? D:

Rogue 02/26/19 5:41 pm

I have the same hesitation as Luck - scared to touch the wardrobe...

summerwing 02/26/19 5:40 pm

You know, I'd be mad, but I just did ONLY cursed quests and Nori gave me THREE morty cards, so, ok, she's making it up to me, s'cool...

~~Sigilmancy~~ 02/26/19 5:38 pm

I avoided the virus purge, thankfully, as my infection reached its final stage looks like just before that went down. I also feel glad I did my quests earlier today, so now I get to do them twice for today and get candy hearts on top of it :D

Zenzi 02/26/19 5:37 pm

Looks like i avoided the mass virus purge, but I appreciate the extension! Thanks for your hard work, staff

Damon 02/26/19 5:35 pm

@Amber
Did you guys put out forum gift boxes? I just got one.

jensen 02/26/19 5:35 pm

@Lirikai
a bit of a wait right now is absolutely understandable! i winced when i realized i lost my virus and would have to ping y'all again ;w; still better than waiting days, though!

Desolace 02/26/19 5:35 pm

@~~Annet~~
Oh so I'm not the only one with the Morty Cards?? I just got my seventh and I was getting a little suspicious o__o

Lirikai 02/26/19 5:34 pm

@Bug
Thank you! I'm sorry your birthday got spend wrangling bugs, your work is so very appreciated. <3

Anoniemmus 02/26/19 5:34 pm

yea, wats up with the morty cards, i just got 7 in 20 quests

Toy 02/26/19 5:34 pm

And I JUST finished all quests for the first time in a while. Thanks!

Luck 02/26/19 5:34 pm

I still have my stage 1 of fevermore. I was wearing a full butterfly bruise for biting at the time. I noticed that people were getting their strains cleared by saving in the wardrobe so I'm a little paranoid to mess with it @ _ @ Is it safe to save avatars now?

Yumei 02/26/19 5:34 pm

Thank you so much :heart:

Lirikai 02/26/19 5:34 pm

@jensen
With the caveat that while that thread helps, literally EVERYONE is in it right now so please be patient! It's going to take a while to get the whole site reinfected.

Colorful 02/26/19 5:34 pm

And what happens for those of us who spent almost 2mil sP on an old virus?

~~Annet~~ 02/26/19 5:33 pm

O my Gosh. The questgivers are so generous with morty cards and candy hears. Wonderfull job!

Bug 02/26/19 5:33 pm

@Lirikai I don't think you are having cache issues. The grocery bag you are seeing is correct for stage 1 of grosseries, which is what you've got right now.

Muerte 02/26/19 5:33 pm

Thank you for extending the time.

jensen 02/26/19 5:33 pm

@Ringo you get your infection much faster if you ask for bites for the strain you want

Ringo 02/26/19 5:31 pm

So, it took 8 days for me to finally be infected through the VIP program and... then it's gone..... I don't quite have the will to try again but I might give it a shot.

FaerieIshee 02/26/19 5:31 pm

Thanks for the clarification on being able to trust our infections, Bug!
Appreciate the extension even more now~

Rogue 02/26/19 5:31 pm

Thank you for clarifying that some of us still have our infections.

Ginseng 02/26/19 5:31 pm

Thanks for letting us know, Bug. ♥ I wouldn't have lost much progress, since I'm only at stage 1, but at least it's less work for all of the poor biters on the NVLB thread. :sweat_smile:

Lirikai 02/26/19 5:30 pm

Honestly not sure I can trust the cache. Went and re-infected with the instant strain and still saw a grocery bag on a hard refresh, tried it twice more just to see, and every time saw a grocery bag. :/ We're sure there's no other way to jumpstart the cache than restarting the wardrobe, clicking wear, then hard refreshing the av image?

teacup132 02/26/19 5:30 pm

My infection finished, it's in my skins. I'm thankful as I couldn't deal with more anxiety.

Kitpaii 02/26/19 5:29 pm

That is super awesome thank you ~!

Bug 02/26/19 5:28 pm

If you still have your infection, you got lucky that the glitch did not hit you, and you should still be good to go. For everyone else, unfortunately you will need to be re-infected.

Darkrai 02/26/19 5:27 pm

@ everybody still infected, try a hard refresh/clearing your cache but you might be. I'm still able to bite with Grosseries, thankfully, so my infection stuck <3

Ginseng 02/26/19 5:27 pm

@Bug The healer says I'm still infected. Is that true? Or is the cache or something just off?

Rogue 02/26/19 5:27 pm

@Bug
Healer and VIP both say I'm still infected. Can this be trusted?
If I need to get re-infected then I'd like to do so, but if I still have my infection then I'd like to keep it.

Fire 02/26/19 5:26 pm

should have done my quests!

micheleey 02/26/19 5:25 pm

I’m still showing stage 2 of Lobotomeat, did I not lose my progress? Do I need to be bitten again?

smilesnz 02/26/19 5:25 pm

ok I got re infected and thanks for the extended of the event :)

Darkrai 02/26/19 5:24 pm

The healer is saying I'm still infected too (fingers crossed because I was/am stage 7 of Grosseries ;w;)

Kismet 02/26/19 5:24 pm

My infection is still there (thankfully) o.o
Happy about that though, and I hope it isn't just a cache issue. xD

Trees 02/26/19 5:24 pm

@Bug at least you considered it. I feel bad for the unlucky people who were at stage 7, they must be even more frustrated.

Epona 02/26/19 5:24 pm

@Bug
It’s cool! Things happen :) I’m glad for the extra time and hearts :D

Britney 02/26/19 5:24 pm

am i the only one who wished it wasn't extended
:P ahaha

Bug 02/26/19 5:23 pm

@Princezz I really wish we could, and I tried to think of some way to do it, but it's not possible. If we restored yours, we'd also have to manually restore the infections for hundreds of other users who were affected, and it's just not feasible. We know it sucks a lot and we're sorry :'(

Freya 02/26/19 5:22 pm

thanks for the update and the extension!!

Holy 02/26/19 5:22 pm

@Bug
Oh darn didn't hope for that response...
I know it's not intentional and you're probably mor bugged (sorry not so punny that one) about it than I am ;)

Thank you all for working on it, it's appreciated <3

Cordyceps_sapiens 02/26/19 5:22 pm

Thank you! I seem to still be on the proper stage of the infection I got yesterday, although I wish I didn't have to go bald to see the towel properly :<

brittbritt 02/26/19 5:22 pm

yeah healer still says i have an infection too, hmmmmmm

Damon 02/26/19 5:21 pm

Thank you so very much!

PetiteUnikin 02/26/19 5:21 pm

so it's gone? :/
