we can definitely look into ways to update or change how the queue works based on your feedback, but i just want to say for all of you who think it's broken, it's not. i'm sorry that you don't like how it works, but it is 100% working as intended.

we are also working on something to let you cure your incomplete virus; not only for those that have gotten a skin they’ve already completed (generally the case with this is people have signed up for the instant random one, which is a gamble!) but also for those that got a skin (via random) that they really really don’t like (maybe they don’t like blood or have trypophobia)

like all of our holidays, we generally lower wait times the further into the holiday we go, so keep that in mind for kissing and wait times

the queue was broken the first day, it was never our intention for people to wait 24 hours.

tbh I STILL don&;t understand the reasoning. says that everything is exactly as it should be, but WHY? What is the point of people waiting 4+ days to be infected? How is it beneficial to the site? To the users? How is it a fun event for people to literally be waiting around doing nothing

the reason old viruses have a 3 day wait in the queue (this does not apply to this year's viruses, which start at two hours) is because we don't want you to sit and do nothing and wait. we want you to get out there and interact with your fellow zombie users and get them to bite you.

aside from that, though, i honestly don't really understand the logic of this question (which i have seen from quite a few people) simply because after you're infected you're literally just waiting and doing nothing while it progresses. i guess i just don't see how a few extra hours (because we don't wait you to wait three days in the queue! we want you to be social on the forums and be bitten! that's the reason old viruses are in the queue so long - to encourage that.) makes much of a difference in the long run (and again, the first day the queue actually was broken, so the day wait people had at the beginning doesn't count).

also, keep in mind that you only used to be able to get one a year total, and you didn't get any choice in which one at all!

we are definitely still taking all of your feedback into account, and discussing it behind the scenes. please don't think we're ignoring any of this!
