I like having some variety with strain stages, that way you work them into your strain game. x3

I definitely have no complaints with the delay - given the circumstances. Doesn't make me any less excited for things to kick off, of course >u< I do like having lots of stages to speculate with everyone on, but I also feel like this is probably a good future trajectory for the event. While I love watching the strains progress, there are so many at this point that it would be almost impossible to catch up on all previous years if changes weren't made, and I don't know if just accelerating stage progression would be enough in the long run. Hopefully the stages won't be diminished by too much, and this will lead to more creative and dramatic stages! :)

I'm guessing they changed their stance on "you're not meant to collect them all" then. Not that I'm complaining, of course.

They could still stop you, if they release more strains per year too. XD

Getting them faster still won't catch you up, if they release more new ones than you can get in a year. edit: not that I would complain about a bunch of new strains, of course!

Hey #/nvlb! Items are being added to the directory so that means Survival will most likely start today. Get your chompers ready!

[edit] Amber isn't entirely sure apparently, so we have items but it might not start today. I got on the hype train too early.

ooohh :D !!!!! here we go~

Okay, Amber said it might not be today. Fingers crossed that her internet connection let's us start.

Still Hype! These new items look dope, I can't wait for them to be available! I love all the little heart wearbles, and the graveyard/sweetheart pet wearables. :D

thanks for the ping, I've got my shopping list started already! XD

welp, delays were expected but just the fact that the items are in is a good sign and im very excited for it to start :D

I really hope it starts today, I'm so excited!!

I love the new wearables I've seen so far, really nice artwork on them, this year's items might very well be my favorite of all years thus far(but I probably think that every year haha)

I am so beyond ready......

There's talk of the new strains having less stages, and less time between stages (or less time between stages for all strains?) Either way, I wonder how many you would be able to get if you maximize getting all new strains with the less stages combined with vial strains.

Ahhh the hype is real! Hopefully it starts later tonight!

for those who often take a second or two to move the head and face items when equipping skins that change the HA a lot (fevermore and lobster for example) - making an outfit with that skin might be of help?

also i wish wardrobe remembered the prefered filter options...yes please give me my earned skins only :'((

Woot! Still planning on starting with a vial even with faster stages but will help everyone else as much as possible once I take the vial. -unmutes all the skin ping groups I am in, at lest all the groups I am in with under 100 members-

ooohhh it's official :D we've got a date! (tho i'd kill for the time as well)

i'll start with the random new strain as always just cuz i wanna see what they have for us this year and then....hmm i had a list somewhere but picking out the order is hard ;--;

OH cant wait , off to my wardrobe,,,
