Cure To Immature Virus Strains



Are you unhappy with your disease? Perhaps you’re not a fan of our more fungi-friendly diseases of this year or the aquatic delights of last year. I’ve found a way to remove your immature virus strain, all for the lowly cost of 1,000,000 sP! What is an immature virus strain? It’s the stages of your virus where you aren’t able to bite anyone! So you have some time to decide if you want to keep your strain or not, just don’t wait too long of course.

You have until February 29th at 11:59 pm to sign up for a strain through my Volunteer Infection Program. Don’t worry if you still have a strain in progress when I close the program for the year, you’ll still work your way to a full-fledged zombie!

Note: If you happened to get a new virus after your first one turned into an unlockable skin in your wardrobe without signing up for another one, please file a ticket!

Does this not work for the Vial infections? I drank a Stinging Vial when it said it wouldn't remove my zombie effects, but I guess that didn't extend to preventing me from getting a new infection, and I really want to get rid of it so I can get Blood Rush. Am I still stuck with this for however long it takes to clear up? Is there ANY other cure for the Vial infections? This makes me sad, as I was really hoping to get another skin this year.

in light of the frustration of how long the viruses are taking to form, could you extend the survival by at least 4 days? I really loved this time of year until now. It seemes like there's hardly any support or response to the extreme wait times of certain viruses; this wasn't an occurrence last year which makes this year all that disappointing.

You do get infected after awhile with no bites, but it can take 3+ days which in my opinion is too long.

I've heard between 8 and 12 bites. I don't know what number is accurate.

you need to be bitten more than once, definitely, i dont know how many it takes tho, but most biters in a biting thread will bite until it says your infected and will ping you saying you are when they're done! :D

, you can wear your virus skins anytime you want. That's just a note in case you want to become infected with another virus that first you have to not already be wearing a virus skin. :)

"You can now switch to the default human skin (or any other non-zombie skin you've unlocked) in the wardrobe"

Does this mean we can never wear the zombie skins we unlock?

have you gotten bit to the point of infection? If not it might take a few days for it to "naturally" progress

for older viruses, you need to find someone who has that virus to bite you. If you can't find anyone to bite you, you'll progress in 3-4 days. go to the survival forums and post on this thread to have someone bite you. You may wanna scan through the forum and see if anyone has your virus and ping them to your post so they are aware there's someone who needs bitten :)

....still not showing signs of naughty nip and its been sixteen plus hrs since I signed up the second time after the first few hr plus wait didn't work? I'm at least 1mill later and no idea if its something I'm doing wrong or a glitch. Surely the high volume of traffic would have been sorted through by now? Hopefully soon..

If you're not on the boards asking for bites I think it can take up to a few days. If you go on the boards people can bite you until you're infected which can take a few minutes.

How long is the time for an infection specialist at the moment? I paid for another virus at least 24 hours now and haven't received any notification at all. I'm hoping to be able to pull out another few skins from this event.

Okay ty for letting us know! Also are there issues with the strains because its been over 12hrs since I was bitten and signed up for an older strain and nothing has shown yet?

Maybe this is posted somewhere but I can't find it. So if I give the Hustler 25K do I get the strain I chose right away or does he give me a random 2016 virus?

It’s not a potion, Gunner gives you the option in his text if you haven’t progressed far enough. Nope, we do all the items at once at the start so you know how many hearts you need to work for. :)

Agree with Babygirl, seems like it's taking forever for this glowing virus to get to stage 8. C'mon already, I want to try for a 2nd one before this ends.

Nothing to do with the viruses but will there be any (new) additional Louis and Skitters shop items released this year? :) Just curious.

I think I only had time to get 2-3 skins last year, 3 seems to be a good number anyway.

So I have bright bit right now, and it's not at full stage yet so it's not unlocked.. if I switch to another one at this point will I lose the chance to unlock Bright Bit?

Glad there's a way to reset!

Just wish it didn't take so long to progress through stages we're not even going to get to keep. And that getting infected really was 1-2 hours. I've been stuck waiting to get infected for at least 12 hours now. I'll be lucky to get two skin unlocks at this rate, nevermind three.

Kulo I think your very near the end of yours, see if its unlocked in your wardrobe by clicking the skins tab, it should be the first one,if its there, then you can choose any other one you've also got there.

The same goes for you just go to your wardrobe, click the skins tab and choose a different one, or theres a blue 'here' to change back to normal skin. dont forget if it says bite under your avie in the forums anyone can bite you [I think]

Can I make the suggestion that the incubation period/ symptomatic presentation/ prodromal phase of the viruses should be shorter than it currently is? If each virus takes approx 4-5 days to develop into a new unlockable skin for the wardrobe, and survival is 2 weeks long, this means people at most are only going to be able to unlock 3 new skins a year; given that there are between 4-6 new viruses released each year, it's going to be impossible for people to play catch up and obtain all of the skins, unless a new way to unlock said skins is released.

Feh, if you get deliberately bit with some horrible disease (and we've seen some really horrible ones in years past so it takes a certain willfulness to ignore this) you should expect it to not instantly or easily be treatable. I think 1 million is waaaaay to cheap for a sudden magical cure. Health is valuable, and you should be cautious with yours. Bring back the five million price.

I can't tell since I'm stage 7 into bubblejelly but I think that the cure is a link on the VIP page, and not an item. (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just trying to be helpful here. xD)

So awesome, guys! I'd just made a suggestion to about somehow making it so that people couldn't get the same strain twice in a Survival event, since unlocking the same skin twice is just silly, right before I accidentally passed out when I only meant to lay down for a few minutes, and I wake up to this. You guys are amazing! <3
