Survival 2021: IT IS FINALLY HERE. SERIOUSLY.

Hello, hello! Gunner is back and ready for you to volunteer to become one with zombie kind. Like last year, he’s worked hard to get various Subeta businesses to sponsor, so you might just notice a theme.

Time between stages is down by hours this year! We know that's been a big complaint in past years, so enjoy. This year, you will have less stages to go through before unlocking too. <3


Purple Casual Date Shirt
Mon Cheri Sticker
Magical Sweetheart Mixing Bowl
Sweetheart Card Set
Romantic Gilded Vase
Celebrate your love, maybe at a distance, with these new items from L’amour Parlor.

You can purchase those lovely items from Louis by using candy hearts you receive by kissing on the forums. Use the following code in your status or on the forums.

Code:
[kiss=username]

Beloved Firefly Tapestry
Underground Art: Photography
Mystery Candy-Coated Gooey Heart
Item not found: scribble graveyard mahar sticker
Dapper Underground Fish Slacks
Skitters has prepared some truly underground classics for those that aren’t a fan of the lovey dovey items Louis offers.

Survival Buttercups
Don’t forget to pay your respects at the Survivor Memorial. Keep an eye out for these flowers, as they’ll either restock at Seedlings or float around the site!

You can also frag the flowers you find floating!

Lemon Candy-Coated Chocolate Heart
We will do our best to get a FAQ thread up in the next 24 hours!

Squashed Stuffed Animal
Survival will end on March 10. The Survival forums will close on March 15, so everyone has time to end any contests they might run for hearts.

If any of you have the angel one or any of the prettie viruses please kiss me I hate the one I got
Danny
My pointy strain vanished too. Going for it a second time.
GospelTrigger
My Delicate strain just up and vanished too, yep.
Ickle
Is it just the new strains that aren't working or all of them? I'm on my second Magical try now and unsure of what to do.
Satamoru
Well there goes my Stage 5 Delicate. First time I've ever actually tried to participate in the biting portion of this event. Sure hope we get some sort of compensation for this. Oh well, off to try again!
Oizumi
Hi, my progress on delicate disappear, i was in stage 4 :(
Linoko
Stage 5 delicate - gone. Frustrated.
Theatre
@Alexy

Same for me - I hit the "give me a random one" button right away upon announcement of Survival being open.

I had the message "You've still got some time to wait, but you will receive an event once you've received your chosen virus!" until this morning when I finally canceled and tried again. However, I'm still stuck with that message with my new one as well.
SaboKat
I went through all the stages of Delicate and now it isn't unlocked in my skins :\
Alexy
I signed up for the volunteer infection program on the 23 and two days after the skin has not started to develop. Anyone else?
halstarlight
i know everything is in chaos bcos of extreme weather, so i'm just reporting some issues for the sake of reporting bugs, and not as a complaint. these kinds of things happen, and it's okay to wait for cool features until everyone is safe and able to do their jobs.

some bugs i've noticed:
- wardrobe not registering my account as being logged in
- wardrobe lag in the items tab
- site images being broken or not appearing
- kissing graphic loads for anywhere from 5 seconds to 2 minutes, or doesn't load at all
- virus instantly appeared at a later stage, then restarted
- virus disappearing entirely and being unrecognized by the healer
- forums not loading individual posts (infinite loading animation)

thank you so much for starting this, and please take any time you need to recuperate from the events of the past month. i know things will get back on track and we can all enjoy the hard work you've all put into this. (^_^)
Elwyn
My skin is gone, I was on stage four. Will it return at the same stage when fixed or will I have to start over?
Bliss
I have to chime in with some others. I am really disappointed.
TickleMeMaggie
This might be the most disappointing holiday roll-out since Lumi 2019...
Nauro
Anyone who's having issues with images and forums. I seen this on twitter but if you are on chrome, restart it and things should work again
MerlinPendragon
I don't understand, first day I started a virus, even paid the extra to get one fast and now I have no infection and had to pay again to get one fast. I even got the message that the virus was in process, what happened?
scalas
I'm really bummed out, I've been trying to get infected since yesterday but nothing is happening... this is my first survival and I really wanna do the alchemy shop ;;
turbid
really hoping we might be able to get the kissing cooldown time reduced! 3:
kristinicole80
Really hoping that these weird issues are fixed up soon, before the event slips on by. This is the one event I absolutely love every year. It is always first on my list of excitements for Subeta.
Frizzy_Lizzy
Was working at first. Now the forums won't load. And kissing takes forever. So sad. :(

Banjorie
Willing to pay more each month to make Subeta operate more fluid. :3
Bliss
@YaoiObsessedFangirl
I'm glad to see it's not me. I thought maybe there was something wrong my internet, but obviously it's not the case as I'm able to browse the site lol
Exie
Hoping things are fixed soon.
So far nothing seems to be working.
Bliss
I can't get anything to work right now. Forums won't load and kissing wont work. Anyone else having this problem?
PhoenixRose
Here's hoping that Bug or someone else on staff will pop up with an update because the insane lag and broken images are killing my enjoyment of Survival. :/ I can't get anything to load and I've let it try for 10+ minutes. This is a limited time event and we've been basically cheated out of 2 days of it already because of site issues.
BoaConstrictor
So it's either site works OR forums?
Rivalous
Thank you for using the Volunteer Infection Program! You have been matched with an Infection Specialist, now you just need to sit back and enjoy the ride...

- image broken even at healer so no idea what strain I have- >_< If I have something I already have then I'm wasting time I already lost.
the_beast
looks like the zombie causing problems lol
capper09
site no stop load... kiss not possible, not in forum, not in profiles... u must be logged in in wardrobe... is not working too... post in forum not possible site no stop loading... and all is laggy... laggy.. laggy...

i try to be patience but tysm for remember me why m' tied of all this on all events... so is better go on couch to watch movie than waiste my time again and again cause i hope... again and again... np, here are enough ppl who have enough time to refresh and hope event will work, till they get a white beard...

oh, sorry... collect floating flowers work...
Chef
I've been patient for more than day of unresolved issues. I understand that things always seem to go wrong with events, but they are usually resolved sooner than this, even if the site needs to go offline for an hour or so to fix them. Sure, wait times are shortened for stages, but what about kissing? When it takes 3 minutes or more for a kiss to go through, then another 10 minutes until you can kiss again, at this rate, we'll never be able to earn enough hearts to buy the items. I'm hoping things improve soon.
Hale
I try to be really patient because I know the staff works hard and is trying their best but it's difficult to want to participate in this event when nothing will load.
Saix
feels good to have some normal survival items this year
Moonie
Is the extreme lag going to be fixed in the next couple days? I just kissed my friend for like 3 minutes before it popped up as done and accessing the forums with a good internet connection takes 5-6 minutes.
Kinky
And so, we wait to see if we're going to be able to do anything. It seems like survival is the only major event where we really have a ton of issues every year, no matter what. It's like clockwork. I wonder if it's because of all the stuff that goes into Survival? The changing strains, the extra items, the kissing, etc... I just wish I could access the forums and wardrobe but oh well. Maybe later!
SayuuChuu
10 minutes between kisses.... really? :/ that's sad...

No forum, no wardrobe, no avatar, no chance to see the strains and their progress - feeling at home, this is Subeta as I know it during holidays. thumbs up
Oh man... the Subeta as we know it. I still can't do much, so I might just sit this whole event out. No forums, the kiss button doesn't work half the time and I can't see HAs :(
Julie

No forum. Lol
Sorry.
LadyMeridius
Still can't see avatar, now I can't see forum posts. Id like to see what the progressions are or if mine are even happening :(
Chef
What seemed to work for me for the wardrobe was to open it in one tab, then from the wardrobe page, click on the "Personal" header and open the wardrobe in another tab again. The original tab then worked for me. I don't know if it was a fluke that it worked, but it did after I had refreshed the page 4 times prior to doing that and having no luck with getting it to work.
Pirate
No forum, no wardrobe, no avatar, no chance to see the strains and their progress - feeling at home, this is Subeta as I know it during holidays. thumbs up :D
StarShadow
@Bliss. Yes I figured that. And it was gone a few minutes ago but back again now so looks like it's fixed. However I'm only at stage 1 when I should be at least stage 3 after starting it 24 hours ago. Darn. :(
Bliss
@StarShadow
It’s a known bug. You have to sign up for a new strain. I was told snowballs were the culprit for removing infections.
StarShadow
@Bliss
I already filed a ticket. Signed up for another strain a 3rd time 4-1/2 hours ago, had Delicate and now that's gone again also. Grr. :(
Lantern
Well I sure would like to be able to remove my zapper skin so I could see my strain progress. But the wardrobe is still busted.
Nicole
I also lost my infection. :sob:
marija12
I can't access the wardrobe to remove my zombie skin, so I can't get infected.

I can't access forums at all so I can't get/give any kisses.

So frustrating :(
Bliss
I thought the kissing times were reduced or was that just the strains? Waiting 10min after you kissed for one candy heart is kind of annoying >(
Please
Mithmel
Please:
Bliss
@Katala @StarShadow
I lost my infection too. I paid SP to get a new strain so many times. I filed a ticket. I suggest you do the same so they know there’s a problem :)
Galaxia STAFF
@Sunfire103

The artist who does them had other things on her plate and didn't get to them this year.
Sunfire103
What happened to the "last year strain" zombie dolls? It was always a tradition :/
FLUX
@Saturnine
lockdown has made us all really needy okay xD
Saturnine
How long it takes to kiss is so awkwardly hilarious. Am I making out with a random online stranger for 30 seconds? Am I being watched? OH GOD.
StarShadow
I've paid for a new strain twice and both times healer showed stage 1 then it disappeared and now it says I'm not infected, again. How many times do I have to sign up and pay SPs and wait hours to get it to stick? I should be in stage 3 of something by now. I hope they're working on fixing this. I'd like to get at least one before the event ends.
MellowHello
Kinda wish we would be able to wear some of the phases from the zombie strains.
Katala
um i was infected yesterday, got up this morning was not infected
Maifly
My infection is gone too. I went to VIP and took the same again. Hope it will stay now ...
Toffee
Thank you for the new wearables! The backgrounds are so cute!!! Time to choose a strain now :3
bipolarness
@thercery (idk how to ping I hope this is it lol) Thank you! :3
Rorita
I'm having the same problem als @Bliss , my infection seems to have disappeared. I'm not sure whether I should get a new one.
BoaConstrictor
It would be great, if kissing interyals were shortened, because even with so few people online in the morning, it takes forever for posts to go through/page to load and then again very long, till kisses register. Like 4 minutes and THEN the cool down period starts.
Wizard
The Forum Threads won‘t open for me. Yesterday and today. Kissing wasn‘t working yesterday, too, it showed only a neverending spinning wheel. Today, I was able to but spinning took 2 minutes also. Keeping my fingers crossed it‘ll be better soon, I am sure it‘s already worked on, thank you, staff, for looking into this! Have a great day, you all!
Taviljia
Thank you SO much for making Subeta a magical place every day! <3 And thank you for your hard work!

I wish everyone a beautiful Survival 2021! <3
Bliss
I just noticed that I’m no longer infected when I was infected with Magical earlier today for about 5 hours.

Is anyone else having problems with being infected?
Julie
First day hiccups. I’ll wait till tomorrow.
Good luck everyone!!
UnseelieFae
Are the forums lagging really bad for anyone else still or is it just my horrible net?
Bliss
I see we’re back to square one with forums, wardrobe and kissing not working.

I also got this:

Is there some kind of problem with the strains this year? I was showing as infected with stage 1 of Magical but now healer says I'm not infected and when I go back to the VIP it asks me to sign up for a strain. Anybody know what's going on?
Sefyra
I want Louis to give me cooties
Drayk
Pretty disappointed at the lack of 2020 strain plushies :/
rawnie
Love the figurines, they're adorable! Also, pondering on trying a strain this year, I actually haven't done that yet xD
Serena
@Hooligans87 - The wardrobe (and by extension skins) isn't functioning at the moment, and afaik it's a site-wide issue. Staff is aware of this and trying to fix the issue! I hope you can get your skin off soon D :

Great. Any chance you could get the site to work so we could enjoy it?

GO AWAY!!! also the new ads that I had to block can piss off as well
LovelyPenguin
My avatar won't display, it won't save any outfit changes I make, and it won't let me get bitten (probably b/c I had a zombie skin on previously). Help!
Rivalous
Went ahead and bought another creeping vial incase this effects the strains and I have to reinfect after it's fixed.

Being more patient then pervious years but getting a lot of requests for "rare" strain bites that I have and it's kinda rough that I can't help anyone unless they want Naughty Nip right now.
CursedCorvid
Wardrobe doesn't work and no previews load, it seems a lot of other people are having the same problems. :/
Delirium
None of my CW shop purchases are going through. ;-;
RenaissanceRagged
oh this is so exciting!!!! ive been looking forward to this since the beginning of the year, thanks for pulling this off again even with everything so hectic!!!!

lets get those KISSES guys!!!!!!!!!!
Riiyuko
First time commenting on the forums and participating in this event. I hope I'm understanding this right unu

Luck
Can we please get an update on the broken avatars/wardrobe/skins? It's been like this for hours and many people can't change skins to help with biting. :(
Baikou
Images aren't loading properly for me. Idk if anyone else is having the same issue or not
Riser
@bipolarness I had this same issue earlier! Is there any chance you're still wearing a skin? I hadnt realized I was wearing an outfit with an older strain skin applied underneath!
SaboKat
Kissing isnt working for me
Nerds
I would like to see less time between kisses, or get more hearts for a kiss. Waiting almost 10 minutes and only getting 1 heart is a bit frustrating.
bipolarness
when I go see gunnar, he tells me thanks for volunteering, but idk what strain I have. the "thanks for volunteering page" was the first page I saw when I went to him? He tells me I can bite people looking for my strain, but idk what strain I even have?
omg_carrie
EEEEEEEE Survival!! I love it!

Dapper Skylight Cavern Rat Slacks

I would die for them!!!

also if anyone wants to! ;)

Woohoooo
Cassiopaea
All of the artwork is so gorgeous!!! Love all the new items. Beautiful!!!

I'm having that problem too, Last Chance.
_Last_Chance_
I'm able to access the forums, use wardrobe, and kiss people again, thank you! I'm curious if anyone else is having an issue with broken avatar images though? Mine works in the wardrobe but 99% of peoples are broken on the forum with a few randomly visible.
Donteatacowman
This explains the DDOS protection I had to click through... :) I'm sure things will be moving smoothly ASAP! Can't wait to see the new strains!
tortillachip
Ugh, I forgot to remove my zombie skin this morning. Gotta wait til the wardrobe's working again.

inuraichi
Forum topics are not loading for me, it's stuck on the load page :( and I don't see the kiss button on anyone of my friends profiles either
Bliss
Well... I think I should probably get off for the night and let things settle. I hope we can all enjoy the event in the morning.

Can't access the forums so.....



Happy Survival!!!

@Marlboro This is not a glitch. The price is written on the button.

I won't be around to keep updating this evening, but before I log off, I wanted to let you know that Keith is still actively working on the lag right now. He's specifically targeting Survival functionality, avatar and wardrobe code, and forums - the places with the worst lag.

We understand and share your frustration - like you, we just want a smooth and fun Survival for all. So we'll keep at it, and we'll do our best to keep you posted. <3

@Bug @Amber

sorry if it's a report

The strain removal is not free, I thought that it is?? I paid 4 millions so far "^_^

Chiming in to say that the forums have stopped loading for me also.

Nothing is working for me at the moment....:(

Love the l'amour items but I might just have to take a break because I can no longer get on the kissing thread. Looking forward to getting the stuff later though.

I can’t load forums ;c

Aww. Nothing is loading for me: wardrobe, HA, forum posts and clicking the kissing button doesn't work.

YAY SURVIVAL WOOOOOOO

I decided to leave it up to chance and voluntarily picked a random strain. I’m excited to see which one I eventually get!
Rakumel
Oh no. Oh noooo. I'm gonna have to participate after all, those items are wonderful XD I'll come back later after some of lag's died down.

Oh yes, SURVIVAL TIME~

Can't wait to see what skins we're getting this year & soooo happy that we can unlock them faster. ♥️♥️♥️
(there're 30+ i need because i am bad at survival. ha.)

Thank you so much for all your hard work! I'm sure the few bugs that have shown up so far (lag, wardrobe saying we're not logged in) with be smished flat in no time c:

So glad for the event! I was kinda worried it might not be held this year for everything going on! Thanks for all the new items! :D Only issue, the LAG in the forums! It's constantly trying to load, making it really hard to kiss :/

My forums are always loading. I can post there -sad
And my wardrobre is always saying that I must be logged! :/

This is awesome. The art on all the new wearables look SO GOOD. I'm excited to see the strains. Magical and Delicate sound promising!! Thank you staff for giving me something to look forward to. I don't think I could get through this COVID nightmare without Subeta. I hope all staff is safe and warm.

Wow, I think the site users will pass Lumi numbers :o people love real zombie hours yo

I just wanna say... the lag is bonkers but I love the new items so much <3 thank you, Subeta Staff and Artists!!

@Wesker the thing I’ve missed most about not having trade shows and meet ups is the IT horror story panels...

@Bug
The wardrobe finally worked for me. Thank you telling me about the lag and connection
Bliss
@Bug
Good to know! Thank you
Bug STAFF
Hey everyone! The lag is being worked on (huge thanks to Keith!) and you may already be seeing speed improvements based on the measures we've taken so far. Holidays always start with a few hiccups, alas, but we've been steadily getting them to go more and more smoothly. Hopefully the lag continues to clear up, and then it's fingers crossed for a wonderful rest of Survival <3

The thrilling story of a devistating supply chain attack on our communications infrastructure following the investigations of forensic analist Diesel Ironserver as he chases down an international gang of cyber mercenaries, or just Subeta not coping apostrophies again?

@Bliss When you load the wardrobe, it then sends a connection to our server to get your user data. That connection is usually pretty fast, but when it lags, it can look like you aren't logged in.
LadyTamarwen
If there was ever any question about it before, now I couldn't be more certain. I love you, Subeta Team. There is more to this Survival than wonderful new items. There is thoughtfulness. Know that it is genuinely appreciated. :heart:

I also can't get the Forums to load, either.

Is the wardrobe working? It keeps saying I have to be logged in to view the page

I can not get anything to load so I think I am going to give it some time and log off for a little bit. Just glad to have gotten my strain in :) So far the strains I have seen look like they will be great! Can not wait to see what they progress into. I got the coda cave one but am really excited to see what the one with the beach turns into!

Also anyone else having issues with the forum loading?

I can't get anything to load :sob:

also I love how the title of this news post glitched out and was just reduced to "Survival 2021: IT" :joy:

Laurey
Yay Survival!

But ugh, I should have thought of this earlier. I can't get the wardrobe to load, so I can't take off my current skin to get infected with something else. :c

yesssss more lovecore fodder for Arterie's tc <3

all the back/foreground items are amazing but especially

@Sirensong Hmm, not necessarily. I went for the quick option and my HA disappeared.

WOULDN'T BE A HOLIDAY IF I DIDN'T BREAK AN IMAGE HERE OR THERE.

(god I was so proud of myself on the items. @jensen you're my witness, I jinxed myself)
Bug STAFF
There was a minor issue uploading the images for the 2021 strains. If you just signed up for a 2021 strain, your avatar might be broken because it can't find the image for it correctly. We are re-uploading the images now to fix the issue. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Note- This is just a problem with how the image files were uploaded. Your strain progression is not affected!

Magical Sweetheart Mixing Bowl

I was going to joke about art thief's, but I see that big ass Harvester sucker. I love it. Thank you.
Also just like FUCKING LOVE ALL THE PASTRY AND CANDY BACKGROUNDS I LOVE YOU. AND the underground variants are amazing (though I will admit I am a little sad there aren't versions of the candy BG and this cupcake ground piece)

Squashed Stuffed Animal

Are all of these Subeta themed ? I think I see at least a few (aside from the obvious tigrean). I want to drown in a pool of fluff.
