Morostide: One last treat

Morostide might be over but we’ve got one last treat for you. Rouland is ready to rumble at the Battle Coliseum until 11:59pm on November 4, when all the Morostide challengers leave.

Note: I considered extending the holiday itself, but it didn’t seem like we’d get the site stable enough for it to really make a difference. 2020 trick or treat items will be moved to the Carnival prize pool soon (there will be a news post when it happens).

We’ll also be giving out retired morostide restockables sometime during Luminaire via quests along with some other retired holiday items. These were never originally going out via quests during Morostide, but I thought I'd mention them here. <3

I know that this is my third post but I just wanna say that I know this is stressful for a small team. I think a lot of the userbase here is understanding of that, and are still willing to understand and support the site.

Pet sites are out of their hayday but like idk it just hurts to see this one going the way of neopets and failed petsites. I appreciate what you guys do for us and all but I just hope that communication is stepped up a bit.

The posts that were in the discord, should have been made as news posts here so that everyone could see them.

That's really all we're asking when things like this happen 🤷🏾‍♀️ because they will happen, and that's okay. Tech is finnicky (I work in it too).

an idea perhaps: you could fill the free shop with 2021 morostide items and set the timer to the same as random ToTs? could call it the morostide clearance bin event or smth idk

i don't know jack about programming other than "code is hard" but i'm sure bringing in more programmers is probably not as simple as it sounds since they would have to learn the site's code layout and keith is already busy enough as is

pulling my sub just seems like a dick move when you're all doing the best you can behind the scenes, and i hope things even out soon!! i've been here for almost 13 years so like. the site exploding the way it is is decidedly strange, but technical issues aren't new, and we (users + staff, as a whole) will get through this one way or another haha

" "New" Subeta should be turned off until it's actually working correctly and bring back old Subeta. I'm so bored I'm doing Drill quests. "

It cannot be "turned off". Some of the site, including the wardrobe, fully transitioned to New Subeta.

Old Subeta was also a laggy mess who croaked whenever there were more than 400 users on. While the issues ARE annoying, let's not wear rose-tinted glasses while talking about Old Subeta, k.

By the way you can get to the regular shops by going through Subetalodge. I did a search for an item from a specific shop and it pulled the shop up for me to purchase something.

I didn't mean to misspeak about how retired items were given out which is why I was posting everywhere to ask for clarification so there would be no false communication next year. I thought that retired T-o-T items could be given out by quest givers, but I was obviously confusing it for the restockable retired items during Luminaire. I didn't mean to cause further confusion, it was the whole purpose of me attempting to start any sort of guide. Which I guess isn't really needed and I apologize.

I'm sorry so many others did not have an enjoyable time this year. I don't know what else I could say.

Morostide was a bit messy this year. I could deal with the lag somewhat, as I tend to get up early anyways and could get battles in before the lag hit hard. But not being able to use the forums because of issues with logging into New.Subeta really dampened it for me. I really don't like New.Subeta requiring us to log into it just to use the forums. I'm not sure why it is that way, unless it's all technical stuff to explain it.

I was looking forward to a few more days to try and wrangle RNG into giving me the pumpkin patch or hex border. :c Why extend the battling portion but not the rest of it? Gotta deal with lag there, too. Morostide is my favorite holiday and I understand staff are doing their best but this is really disappointing.

If "new" Subeta is such a disaster please just stay with old Subeta until the new one is working perfectly before changing anything over. Old Subeta was just fine for me. Disappointed to log on this morning only to find out quests are still broken. I've seen them not reset before but never broken like this. :(

"There are always some problem for the site in these days"

Subeta has always had stability problems, that's not just these days. That has been the one thing that hindered its growth in all of its history.

It's not as bad as it used to be (HEY REMEMBER WHEN WE COULDN'T ACCESS THE SITE ON WEEKENDS BECAUSE IT JUST FRIGGIN DIED?) but the bar is on the floor at this point.

I think the biggest disappointement for me is yet again no Nightmare, Bloodred or Graveyard pets - new or revamps.

That used to be the thing that made Morostide so exciting to me and for the second year in a row, not getting anything relevant kinda hurts.

Experiments are too RNG based to be truly exciting for me, so seeing that they're the focus for the second year in a row is kinda making me bitter.

We also got no new makeup kits (and the kit didn't unretire in the first place) or no clothing sets.

There are always some problem for the site in these days, first it was the lag issue, then it came to the new subeta issue and it turned out to be quests broken issue today. Staffs are always late to response to these problems and even if you file a ticket to them, u got a really late response from them anyway. I feel disappointed really.

I just think it's kind of crappy that moro doesn't have a given 'start date' but it can end on the same date every year regardless of what happens during the event.

Having read 's comment on this news post, I can understand there not being an extension given the excessive lag that wouldn't have really made any difference in giving us an extra 24 hours or whatever.

However, did I dream it, or do most site events give us a news post reminder at the beginning of the last day to tell us that this is the last day, and that for Morostide, any ToT / patch timings have decreased? Because if I didn't dream that for previous Morostides / previous events, it would've been helpful to have a news post Sunday morning with a reminder of it being the last day.... not only would it have confirmed the reduced timings (which didn't appear for me on random ToT or the patch), but would also have confirmed & explained the lack of any extension time and resulted in a 'happy smiling userbase'*!


*happy smiling userbase not guaranteed :P

I don’t ever want to leave subeta, I love this place and the unique experience you guys offer us with this site. Your artists work so hard and give us such beautiful items to create with. Your users are here for you and so desperately want to see this place continue to flourish, communicate with us and I’m sure so many of us would be willing to help.

just letting you guys know that all quests are broken, all shops are broken (and re-direct to the special shops overview page), all user wishlists are broken, the gift center is broken, and there's lines of code arbitrarily showing up on pages like user profiles and the dashboard that read "Warning: array_key_exists() expects exactly 2 parameters, 1 given in /var/www/html/src/hover_user.php on line 48" "Warning: array_key_exists() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in /var/www/html/src/include/class/suggestions.php on line 173"

Why not take the site down for the next month and fix the coding? I would rather do without Subeta for that time than deal with site errors and such. It makes the site less when I can't access everything when I want to.

I wouldn't be upset about the lack of extension to the event if I was even able to get on subeta the last 3 days. It's unfortunate to all the users who wanted to participate in user events and have no way of getting online to even post. Then to post that there is no extension not even a couple of minutes before everything ends is disrespectful to the player base who was looking forward to a little more time to actually have fun.

I'm sure the rag doll achievement and any others that were planned will be out soon, but it might have been better to do that while people could still get the items without buying them.

I'd love to know why did subeta stop giving out achievements at events when you collect items like the rag dolls, stickers and other event items? I miss doing that it was just as fun as the event if not more. <3

I wouldn't be so bothered about choosing not to extend the holiday if the times for random TOT and the Pumpkin Patch had actually shortened properly on the last day, it was only normal TOT that did that. And also the forums not working, since I was relying on that to get certain items and also have people to throw eggs at. So I understand why people are so annoyed about this, and I wish it would have been said in that news post from yesterday. I just hope things are working properly before Fireside starts.

Guys, please, just let us know things as they are happening and don't blatantly ignore user questions. If you don't know the answer, just say you don't know the answer. I can patiently deal with anything else, including the site being unplayable for random periods of time, but it's hard to deal with very understandable user questions being thrown into the void and getting an answer much later or not recieving an answer at all.

ugh, this morostide has been so disappointing, sadly... i was excited for it to finally start and then within like a day it was exhausting fighting with the site to work. i could barely do anything and gave up entirely on using the zapper because of how broken the wardrobe has been. it took me like 2 days to make an avatar and get it to save, it was so painful... nevermind how terrible the forums have been. that said i agree there's no point in extending it. i don't have the enthusiasm for it now, anyway. but at least battlers get to do their morostide stuff for a few more days!

honestly don't see much point in trying to do anything on here for a while with the way it is. :/

if there's only two options (either we get an extension or we do not) i just do not understand how you would announce going with the disappointing option of the two AFTER the event ends. i mean that's bound to annoy people, it's literally double disappointment. not to mention most expected it to be extended precisely BECAUSE you guys waited so long to say anything. half of this annoyance could have been avoided with putting up a single post or blue border earlier and i feel like that's a mistake that should not have happened after all the talk there's been from the user side that we appreciate communication about these things the most...?

This is...really disappointing. With all of the errors and them being the worst on the two days I actually could sit and devote time, it's a bummer that nothing worked right and we aren't getting an extension and were notified after the end of the event. It's nice that items will come back in another way but that doesn't solve that minion nip 100% didn't work all event and that we've lost the chance at the patch achievement for crook entirely since those never come back. I found exactly 1 special minion this year which doesn't track for past years at all and I spent the entire event except maybe 5 visits in the area where the newest minion should've been. I'd say I got less than 15 minions total despite wearing nip all event. And the site was completely down for large chunks of Friday night/Saturday.

I appreciate that something is fundamentally wrong with new Subeta but it's just really disappointing that there's no real solution for any of this and that it was not addressed by staff until after the event closed.

i'm really happy for the battlers that they are getting an extension but think it's bitterly unfair that the rest of us won't have one and it's a case of 'yes you missed out but oh well'. it wouldn't have been much to ask to extend the holiday for 4-5 days considering it started late too.

i honestly couldn't tell you; all i know is i literally got and removed the tie-dye skin within minutes of the event going live and i guess the site just got stuck on showing that one for the rest of the event?? i was halfway to opening a ticket on the second day because i thought it gave me the tie-dye skin twice until the wardrobe loaded and showed i had actually received the mushroom skin instead, and for every bribe zap after that i just ignored my on-site avatar (which was tie-dyed each time) and checked the wardrobe to see what it was supposed to be/remove the skin.

(and obviously i can't test it now, but i really do think it was only the bribe zap that got stuck on showing the tie-dye skin for me, because i did some regular zaps to try and get the "free zap" buff just to see what it was, and if i remember correctly, that did not show the tie-dye skin as the result.)

Wave 4 of spooky, scary challengers here to wreck you! Good luck fighting Wurlm, Eternal Harvester, Carrion Lord, and Nightlady.

You have until November 5 to defeat all the Morostide themed challengers. We are aware of the lag and will have a post later about any extensions on the holiday. Please keep the comments to just challenger related things!

Uh....Is Rouland supposed to only be till November 4th or Nov 5th like mentioned a few days ago? :)

How long does it hold the cache for? I had run the Zapper while new.subeta.net was completely down and wouldn't even load the onboarding page where Blake greets you, which is the only thing I can think of: it couldn't access my skins and just gave me a random one because as far as it knew, ALL of the skins were new to me.

the bribe zapper had some strange cache problem where the regular site only showed you the first skin you earned each time you took the bribe, but it did give you a unique skin each time (or at least it did for me, on day five it told me there were no more skins to bribe for). i only had to bribe for four the new skins, but the cache issue meant that the regular site showed the result as the tie-dye skin all four times while the wardrobe showed the correct result.
