Why did page 1 of this thread suddenly disappear?

o.o

What I'd like is if the progressions happened faster (then you'd have more people to bite as more switched around). :P Especially with the new unlocked skins thing in the new wardrobe. Subeta, let me throw money at you, get me to the next stage faster. ;) Sp sink whaaaaaat.

The way I pictured it was that there would be some type of chance to it. Like if you're a fully-fledged zombie biting other zombies who aren't completed progresses, maybe there is a 25% chance the infection would speed up by a minimal amount (I'm thinking like just knocking an hour off it or something idk how the progression is going but it seems like it's taking forever.) Then stage 5s would be 10%, 4s would be 5%. 3s (which I think you need to be to infect people) 0% chance since that's just your starting level to infect. IDK HOW THE STAGES WORK BUT I THINK YOU ALL GET THE IDEA.

So you could "sweet talk" as much as you want, but there is still a chance factor in it.

KEITH LOOK THIS IS A REALLY GOOD IDEA. Everyone can get involved. Yay total site participation. Just will the site to me man. I can direct everything.

I'd only support this if it was an option you had to turn on, as in, was disabled by default, so that no one would get the chance to bite me and change my virus. I chose the virus I wanted because it's the one that I wanted, and I don't like the idea of another user taking that from me and possibly forcing me to take on some virus that's going to make me hate my avatar or even make me feel sick (aka any one that involves holes, since I have trypophobia).

I like 's idea, though.

I really like that idea. :)

I was also thinking making a vial that could be bought from VIP which gives you a small chance to progress to the next stage. It could be something like 50k, 20% chance of progression, limited to once per hour (keeps people checking back into the site, that's good right? :)). Maybe add quests into this where there's a chance you can get them from questing so it's not just an sp sink. The bad part of this is the coding and drawing up an item for the vial. Maybe an old cure item can be recolored fast idk. Call it Misguided or Botched or Expired Amoryl Cream or something like that. :P

Shh no don't mention sinks. THIS IS ABOUT BITING. :p

Eh it would make biting easier. :P dammit what's a girl gotta do to progress faster haha

I agree with the idea that you can bite other zombies with the same strain as you. Because myself being one of those users who are achieve whores aren't going to be able to get this so easily (I've only just been bitten last night and I still can't see my avatar change).

Here is your avatar preview Infection's definitely showing up.

I just can't wait until mine progresses enough that I CAN bite people - I would kill for the Biter title...

I really want the achievement and title, but very few wanted my strain it seemed. I'm an original Rose/Lobster Face and I got a grand total of 19 bites in. I have since took that skin off and some kind users bit me and now I'm slowly becoming a Butterfly Bruise. A friend of mine was having a hard time getting bit because so few people had the strain she wanted. She's been bit enough luckily and is progressing now too, but I wish there were an easier way for this all to go down. 100 is quite a bit.

"8 / 100"

Yes, this will take a few years, I think.

that thing of changing the infection you have isn't cool. People paid up to 1m to end up with a 10k new strain? That'd be ridiculous. But I do think something could be done about it. Maybe a "Bite" button in the VIP page, where you click and your bite goes to a random user (then people don't need to post "Hey's" in the Welcome forum to be infected). And you can only bite once every 5 minutes, for example.

I just feel like this biting thing wasn't very well implemented. Achievements and titles are kinda minor, but it feels like a pay to win kinda feature, and those always leave a bad taste in my mouth.

What are you people talking about? points to title that was unlocked 2 days ago i stalked all kissing threads like a maniac for victims and it took me around two days to get it, definately achieveable!

I like the "bite a random user" idea - they implemented that for the snowball fight and it was really glorious to be able to find opposing team members without having to search the forums.

Especially when someone's got a rare or not as popular strain, something like that would be a huge help.

I do wish we were able to bite a little earlier, though - by this point in time, most people have already been infected, although now that people are opting for second infections there's more folks out there now wanting to be bitten. That helps a lot, and it would help even more if this achievement stuck around for more than one year.

I am not a fan of the idea of allowing a biter to superimpose their virus on the one I chose and paid for. I would hate that if it were implemented.

This would be amazing

How is that a pay to win thing? Unlike kisses, I haven't seen anyone bribing for bites.

There are issues with the feature but pay2win is not one.

I can't even bite yet. This is not my idea of fun. :(

I just wish there were people wanting the new strain bites. I can bite but cannot find anyone to bite.

I don't think you'll find anyone, tbh. Not with the 2 hour wait on these strains, people who want them probably don't even bother looking.

These achievements better be back next year
