SURVIVAL IS HERE (2025)

It's time. It's finally time to visit Gunner and sign up for the Voluntary Infection Program (VIP). We look forward to seeing what names y'all come up with for the viruses this year! This user-run thread will be tracking the progression of this year's strains and will be taking suggestions for names that y'all will vote on.

@Amber do you think we might be able to get an extra day or two? Its been quite laggy/things not working quite how they should (people not progressing or losing their sp/strands) etc. Just a whole lot of lag/frustration. Just thought I'd ask if it might be possible to throw us an extra few days so no one is behind because of said issues. Pretty please? :) Ty for all you and the staff do! I appreciate you :)

So, I paid 1.5 mil for a virus 4 days ago and it still says I have to wait. If the virus doesn’t progress fully when the event ends what happens? I feel like this is a bit unfair.

In a singsong voice Where, oh where, are my challenger friends? Where, oh where, could they be....

So that's a yes on them being broken then? Waster half of survival on this and 125k. Sigh.

I bought one of the older virus strains (2017 - dissolving) last night and it's been over 16 hours now and I'm still stuck on "you have to wait".... ๐Ÿ˜ž
Lisrax
Are there any problems? I have try the free Random one for 4 days now... First i did and i removed it and i try again and still nothing:(
Hollieangel
Are the viruses broken? I got one of the new ones by paying, removed that and have tried twice to get one for free and it's just stuck on the 'you have to wait' option. I've just removed the second attempt of getting a free one (wasted 2-4 days in total, it's been a busy time for me so can't remember exactly how long) and have just tried spending 125k on one to see if that helps.

If it doesn't, will I be reimbursed because it's a bit rubbish if they're actually broken and people can't get given a virus at all, even when paying? I will keep my fingers crossed it works though. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

@Amber Nevermind, sorry, I found out you just need to remove the skin and I can VIP again. So sorry for the bother but thank you very much all the same!
Stigs
@Amber Can you only VIP for one virus per Survival season?

@Hexadecimate I believe so? I could be wrong but that's the only way I've been using them~
Hexadecimate
@Maple Is that the only thing the flowers are for? It's been so long I have no idea what they do other than placing them there for achievements?
Syfyri
@Amber Presumably the achievement for giving kisses (Kiss a User) was also supposed to gain a tier, but instead it lost all its tiers!

Happy smoochin'!!!

I wasn't around yesterday for the issues that were going on in the begining of picking viruses (I only know about the issue cause the news banner said it was fixed). Picked a virus for myself. It's not there. I'm not infected with anything. A whole day wasted, Gunner said I had it and just had to wait but I have nothing. Picked a virus again just now but who knows if I actually got it.

Whoooo the time is upon us!!! Lettuce kiss!!!
But is the survival memorial not in service this year? I didn't see a link on the side? I'm building up my survival flowers :3

@thercery
Glad things are solved! ๐Ÿ˜€ Happy biting!
@Keith
Riser
@Bliss, I think it was the skin I had on for bites, haha. Though the original issue I had seemed to be something different and was possibly because I was on mobile a few hours ago (essentially, the page didn't fully load/there was no white box behind the images/text, and only part of the full page was accessible). Ah well, at least being on PC and removing my recent Wardrobe changes cleared up the more recent issue. Happy biting!
Bliss
@thercery
Basically, you have to wait 3 hours or so to see whether you've been infected with. Maybe @Keith can clear it for you?
Bliss
@thercery
That means you're infected with a virus! That's what my page shows as well
Riser
@Bliss, there was nothing to choose! It's a blank screen with a non-functioning page that would presumably lead me to where I would be able to select a strain...\
This is what it looks like: https://postimg.cc/FfYHNyXW

Am I supposed to be seeing something else? Or going to a different page?
Bliss
@Gastrodon
I'm still waiting -.-
Gastrodon
@Bliss Nvm! I got it
Bliss
@Gastrodon
That's my issue as well. 1.5 hours of waiting and nothing yet, so I'm biting
Bliss
@thercery
I've been waiting an hour and a half for moisturize to infect me. Maybe you chose a virus without knowing?
Gastrodon
@Eva in the same boat but I chose unbothered - still not showing up after almost 2 hours
Riser
All it says is "Thanks for your interest in becoming an Infection Specialist!

Feel free to seek out any humans wishing to make the conversion to one of us on the forums. Be on the lookout for these buttons to find volunteers looking for your virus strain:" followed by the bite icon and link, which doesn't seem to lead to any loading process or outgoing page, when clicked.
Keith STAFF
@thercery Can you tell me what you see on the page? It should (and did for me) have the ability to choose a specific strain from this year, or a random one. That's why the banner says that it's fixed, because it appeared to be here / in the shoutbox / in the discord for other users.
curbdirt
If I just drink a vial from 2014 I should be infected with whichever strain was in the vial, correct?
Riser
Just so you know, it'
s very much NOT FIXED, and that banner claiming it is and warning about the lag is not doing much more than rubbing salt in the wound.
Riser
Am I totally blind, or is the page for the VIP Infection program still totally broken/missinf the section (or missing the ability to click through to the section) where you sign up for specific strains? So much for delaying to "ensure this works". Every goddamn year guys, it's something.
Bliss
@Eva
There's a strain missing and it's being investigated. I too, chose moisturized and nothing is happening.
Eva
I chose Moisturized at 2:10pm EST but still don't see anything ๐Ÿ˜ž Healer not showing anything and no Gummer note other than that I had chosen something. Hopefully it does let me get the right skin since I know we were having problems for a couple hours.

Whenever I'm a couple hours late to the start of this event, I'm a little disappointed that I missed out on time I could have used developing a strain. But then I always find out there was a bug at the beginning and I'm relieved I didn't get caught up in it (hopefully) lol. X'D Anyway, happy Survival everyone! I picked Focused... can't wait to see what all the strains look like!
