I think the various stages of zombie infections are super cool. There are definitely some I wish I could "freeze" and keep in a certain stage.

My suggestion is for a item that will allow you to "freeze" (aka choose) which stage of a virus you keep. It should probably be a cash shop item around 100 csc or so. It should only work on a virus once it has progressed to its final stage and you have the main skin, then if you've bought the "freeze" item you can choose which stages you'd like to wear of any owned zombie skins.

What are your thoughts?

I support this. My argument for it would be the fact that the site artists have spent time drawing so many "frames" of these zombifications that are seen once, before for 12 hours and now for only 8 hours. It seems like a lot of work for something that has such little time to be used (especially if you're not even online to play with that stage). And some people really like some of the stages, they're creative and provide a lot of opportunity to play with. (like the cocoon stage of Caterkiller). In short it feels like the artists work is going to waste on the early stages since they're not able to be permanently enjoyed.

If it's feasible, I would love something like this. People ask every year to have a certain stage be wearable.

I've wanted these for so long. As Luck said, the art exists. Don't want to draw so many items? Have one and make it transformable with minor differences.

Make it a feature you get after unlocking a skin so you can't sell it.

I’d love this so much, any way it could possibly be done!

This is actually very good point, especially since Subeta prides itself on the art aspect of the site (arguably what sets it apart from others). Also combined with the fact that it's not only 8-12 hours, but that would be 8-12 hours annually since it's also restricted to Survival infection time.

All my support. I just came here to suggest something similar. I would love to have these as available backgrounds.

Please..... I love so many of the phases of most zombie strains... I really wish we could have them as their own items / wears!

I agree with this, I was just contemplating how if I'm not active on the site through the entire infection process, I miss the chance to see my HA in certain early stages that look good with my outfit (and I plan my outfit around). I suppose I could try editing the image after the fact, but that's more work and less fun.

Support. I almost never use human HAs but there are some stages that would persuade me to do so. Happy to pay sp for it.

Support, I would absolutely adore having 5th and 6th stages of Jolly Rotter like this.

I will never stop begging for this. I don't care if it's paid, or separate items, or in the wardrobe once you unlock the skin, or whatever. Just please let us use the intermediate stages. There's so much beautiful art that feels so wasted, being around for only 8 hours and then gone forever.

I know we have the diluted vials of the first strains and it's good but, you know, I kind of want a different stage of the strain. I would love the early stages of the bird one this year. I actually was wanting a bird wear pretty similar to those stages when I created my HA earlier on.

So yes, please. If there could be a way if you have the strain you could pick a stage to wear like we can pick a skin to use. (only saying this because while I'd take it I'm not sure I'd want a mass wave of wears in my wardrobe I'd have to wade through and remember what is what to find the correct thing I'm wanting.)

i would love something like this as well, even if its something like just more "diluted" items. maybe they can be one item for each strain but it transforms between all the stages (besides final of course)

Huge support for a feature like this. I know people ask every year so there has to be a reason it hasnt gotten done yet .... but I would really love to see something like a strain stage freeze option. Would be a lot of fun to mess with in the wardrobe

Fully support this idea! I'd love to remain a not-quite-bipedal pylot zombo.

Support for a way to wear the in-between zombie strain stages in some form, whether that's through the Skins system or as a wearable item or whatever works best

Support! There are definitely some in between stages I'd love to have.

I'd love it if we could have vials of each strain that we could then transform to which stage we wanted. CS would be a great choice, but also L'amour Parlor, or even that sketchy fella who somehow managed to get those new strains so quickly.

In the meantime, we already have some 'dilute' strain wearables if you want to keep the mix and match fun going c:

Always yes, always a brilliant idea
