Survival Update!
If you've made it to the final stage of an infection already and don't have it, worry not! On the final day of Survival we will allow every user to select one infection from this year that they did not unlock, and unlock it for free. This prevents us from manually replacing the skins, and should hopefully just be a faster process overall, considering the sheer number of people.
As a thank you, we're sending out 250 cash shop credits to everyone who has participated so far in Survival. We'll also be extending Survival by one full day. Thank you 💖!

Thanks so much for the update and the csc. That’s so sweet of y’all! I’m really excited about getting a ‘free’ skin on the final day as well. Subeta has always taken such amazing care of their peeps; it’s why so many of us love this site. ❤️
This seems more than generous, and any pushback I might otherwise somewhat agree with (what with some getting a free skin due to a narrow window) I think is mitigated by the fact that the strain progression is so much faster!
I'm a little concerned about how this might affect the pool of biters for the new strains. Has anyone noticed a more lengthy wait for bite-based progression for the new strains?

If I understand this right, I could get a strain from this year even though I didn't try for one of them?
Because I lost a good 20 hours when I was stuck in a mature skin and couldn't take it off to get infected.

@Keith - Oh, it doesn't, I'm just a little sad that I can't have the strain I should have unlocked two days ago until the end, I want to help spread the infections around. I feel like I've wasted two days of precious survival time on that first strain for no good reason, could have unlocked an older skin in that time or something.
I am glad the lag is fixed, and the forums are working, and if free skin for everyone later and not getting my skin right away is the trade off for that, then that's how it's got to be. I'd rather the forums be working, than an extra skin in my wardrobe that I am unlikely to wear outside of survival.

so for the sake of biting, getting re-infected is the best course of action
thank you for the update and thank you for your hard work in fixing the issue!

Thank you for the csc and allowing us to get our skin back for free. I lost my pointy and looking forward to getting it back.
One small question though. Is there any reason why it has to be the final day of survival and not... now? (or sooner rather than later) Having it open for only one day and not for the rest of survival makes me feel bad for anyone who might not be on that day.

Hmmmm. maybe this year I stick to trying to get all old infections ( unless I get a new one from random later since I have a chance at a freebe.
Normally I do one new skin per year for my unlock quota.

I think this is a great resolution. Thanks for all your hard work, and hope everyone is staying safe! <3
@pointycatears You can, but it involves somebody with the skin to share an outfit on site. Then you can remove their clothes, dress it up, and save it.
So the free unlock infection is only for the infections from this year? Did I understand that correctly?
You didn't have to be so nice, we would'a loved you anyway; however, this is much appreciated. Thank you!
Awww, now I have to wait longer to get my Queasea strain, and I've been trying to avoid looking at it in full until I have it. Are we still allowed to use skins we haven't unlocked in the wardrobe just to play around with them, like with items we don't own? Because if I can, then I guess that compensates for it, I really wanted to see how I could dress it.
Oh ok I really like this solution, thanks guys! And thanks to the artists too for making such wonderful strains this year <3
Very much appreciated! I was a bit worried after having my first strain completely disappear, but this more than makes up for it :3.
Thank you, Keith!! I had already started noticing faster speeds and thing working yesterday and I'm glad they're cleared up now! ^^
Thanks for doing all of this. The unlocking a skin for free is the perfect compromise-def easier than manually replacing the skins we lost! Wooo!
Thank you for the hard work in resolving these issues for a smooth Survival from here on out!! Take a much needed rest!!
So the people who were late to the party and never got the glitch that removed their skin get an extra skin? That seems fair. shrug
Thank you for all the hard work. Will everyone be able to pick a free skin or only those affected by the glitch?
