No problem, it's understandable. I was just speaking with another user who said the CTRL + F5 wasn't working for them; this glitch delay could explain a lot.
I'm still gonna keep an eye on stage length just to be sure.
Thanks for the update!
Thank you for the update! Its starting to show the first stage. I hope I will be caught soon.
Like a good neighbor, stay over there!

Thanks for your interest in becoming an Infection Specialist!
Unfortunately, your strain hasn't progressed far enough for your bite to be effective, but try again later!
Mine has not done anything and Ive done everything I have read to do? although someone said I was showing white stage 2 I cant see it?
I wish I could go back in time..
You do have white stage 2. It's subtle. You might be able to see it if you go to the Healer to look at your HA base.
You cannot bite yet because stage 2 is too early in the infection to bite. You won't be able to bite until your infection gets to the last few stages.

thanks kindly for that.

Thanks on the heads up, after mine progressed I noticed others were still taking longer then normal so I questioned if there was a delay and not something related to my earlyer HA issue or me just jumping the gun abit soon.

I haven't checked up on my strain for a couple of days (with the lag and all), but I know I'm on at least stage 3 according to the Healer, yet all I see when I go to my Wardrobe page is just my normal healthy self. Is this a glitch as well?
Cleared my cache and all trying to see if that'd work as well.

The wardrobe does not (and never has) shown virus strains - You can go to the Healer to see an image of your HA without the clothes on to see it more clearly. Hope this helps :)

Ah. I know once I cleared my cache, I was able to see my strain, since at that point, I didn't know what stage I was on given that there wasn't any indication on my HA at that point, unlike previous times. Thankfully, now, I can track it since it's showing up now.

You said in the thread I made that even though I'm at the last stage it would be a few hours before unlocking - Well, it's been more than a few hours and still no skin. Can you check and make sure it's not stuck in any way, please?
hi! I don’t know if this is the right place to post, but I didn’t see anything about strains not progressing in your new topic. I got infected with Dolly Dreadful approximately 23 or 24 hours ago, but I’m still on the first stage. Can you check if things are going right? o:
I know I am not bug but I can try and help. Can you resave your avatar and see if that helps? I thought I was on stage 1 of mine too but I resaved and it went to 2.

oh!! it worked! thank you very much, I thought I was stuck forever ;v;
Me too! Glad it worked for you as well xD

I'm still on stage 1 though I should have progressed to stage 2. It's been 24 hours, strains don't stay on one stage for that long. Even my avatar base preview still has it on stage 1. Has Grosseries glitched again?
Never mind, I'm finally seeing stage 2, but for some reason it still took a full 24 hours to progress instead of 14-16 hours. Weird.
Was stuck in what lookd lik stage 7 for forever...but appearently I was 8...
I'm also wondering about the strains again. In 20 minutes I'll have been on stage one for 19 hours. It just doesn't seem like the correct amount of time? I'm repeatedly checking the healer and saving my outfit.
edit: 12:30 am - 22 hours on stage one. going to bed now. this seems way too long for a stage.
edit: 10 am my avatar was still showing stage one... I hit wear in the wardrobe and went to stage 3, completely skipping stage 2. Yepp same problem as
That 19-20 hour first stage was exactly the problem I had. I don't know if it'll solve itself like mine did, but if it helps, stage 3 came at a time I would have expected if stage 2 had hit when it should have. In short, the combined time of stage 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 was about the same as it would have been had the stages behaved properly.
Maybe keep a record of when stage 3 hits so you can use that as evidence if you need to?
Shooooooot, ive been stage 1 for two days now ?
