Survival 2021: IT IS FINALLY HERE. SERIOUSLY.

Hello, hello! Gunner is back and ready for you to volunteer to become one with zombie kind. Like last year, he’s worked hard to get various Subeta businesses to sponsor, so you might just notice a theme.

Time between stages is down by hours this year! We know that's been a big complaint in past years, so enjoy. This year, you will have less stages to go through before unlocking too. <3

Celebrate your love, maybe at a distance, with these new items from L’amour Parlor.

You can purchase those lovely items from Louis by using candy hearts you receive by kissing on the forums. Use the following code in your status or on the forums.

[item=Underground Art: Photography]

Skitters has prepared some truly underground classics for those that aren’t a fan of the lovey dovey items Louis offers.

Don’t forget to pay your respects at the Survivor Memorial. Keep an eye out for these flowers, as they’ll either restock at Seedlings or float around the site!

You can also frag the flowers you find floating!

We will do our best to get a FAQ thread up in the next 24 hours!

Survival will end on March 10. The Survival forums will close on March 15, so everyone has time to end any contests they might run for hearts.

Is it just the new strains that aren't working or all of them? I'm on my second Magical try now and unsure of what to do.

Well there goes my Stage 5 Delicate. First time I've ever actually tried to participate in the biting portion of this event. Sure hope we get some sort of compensation for this. Oh well, off to try again!

Same for me - I hit the "give me a random one" button right away upon announcement of Survival being open.

I had the message "You've still got some time to wait, but you will receive an event once you've received your chosen virus!" until this morning when I finally canceled and tried again. However, I'm still stuck with that message with my new one as well.

I signed up for the volunteer infection program on the 23 and two days after the skin has not started to develop. Anyone else?

i know everything is in chaos bcos of extreme weather, so i'm just reporting some issues for the sake of reporting bugs, and not as a complaint. these kinds of things happen, and it's okay to wait for cool features until everyone is safe and able to do their jobs.

some bugs i've noticed:

  • wardrobe not registering my account as being logged in
  • wardrobe lag in the items tab
  • site images being broken or not appearing
  • kissing graphic loads for anywhere from 5 seconds to 2 minutes, or doesn't load at all
  • virus instantly appeared at a later stage, then restarted
  • virus disappearing entirely and being unrecognized by the healer
  • forums not loading individual posts (infinite loading animation)

thank you so much for starting this, and please take any time you need to recuperate from the events of the past month. i know things will get back on track and we can all enjoy the hard work you've all put into this. (^_^)

My skin is gone, I was on stage four. Will it return at the same stage when fixed or will I have to start over?

I don't understand, first day I started a virus, even paid the extra to get one fast and now I have no infection and had to pay again to get one fast. I even got the message that the virus was in process, what happened?

Really hoping that these weird issues are fixed up soon, before the event slips on by. This is the one event I absolutely love every year. It is always first on my list of excitements for Subeta.

Here's hoping that Bug or someone else on staff will pop up with an update because the insane lag and broken images are killing my enjoyment of Survival. :/ I can't get anything to load and I've let it try for 10+ minutes. This is a limited time event and we've been basically cheated out of 2 days of it already because of site issues.

Thank you for using the Volunteer Infection Program! You have been matched with an Infection Specialist, now you just need to sit back and enjoy the ride...

  • image broken even at healer so no idea what strain I have- >_< If I have something I already have then I'm wasting time I already lost.

I've been patient for more than day of unresolved issues. I understand that things always seem to go wrong with events, but they are usually resolved sooner than this, even if the site needs to go offline for an hour or so to fix them. Sure, wait times are shortened for stages, but what about kissing? When it takes 3 minutes or more for a kiss to go through, then another 10 minutes until you can kiss again, at this rate, we'll never be able to earn enough hearts to buy the items. I'm hoping things improve soon.

I try to be really patient because I know the staff works hard and is trying their best but it's difficult to want to participate in this event when nothing will load.

Is the extreme lag going to be fixed in the next couple days? I just kissed my friend for like 3 minutes before it popped up as done and accessing the forums with a good internet connection takes 5-6 minutes.

And so, we wait to see if we're going to be able to do anything. It seems like survival is the only major event where we really have a ton of issues every year, no matter what. It's like clockwork. I wonder if it's because of all the stuff that goes into Survival? The changing strains, the extra items, the kissing, etc... I just wish I could access the forums and wardrobe but oh well. Maybe later!

Oh man... the Subeta as we know it. I still can't do much, so I might just sit this whole event out. No forums, the kiss button doesn't work half the time and I can't see HAs :(

What seemed to work for me for the wardrobe was to open it in one tab, then from the wardrobe page, click on the "Personal" header and open the wardrobe in another tab again. The original tab then worked for me. I don't know if it was a fluke that it worked, but it did after I had refreshed the page 4 times prior to doing that and having no luck with getting it to work.

. Yes I figured that. And it was gone a few minutes ago but back again now so looks like it's fixed. However I'm only at stage 1 when I should be at least stage 3 after starting it 24 hours ago. Darn. :(

It’s a known bug. You have to sign up for a new strain. I was told snowballs were the culprit for removing infections.

I already filed a ticket. Signed up for another strain a 3rd time 4-1/2 hours ago, had Delicate and now that's gone again also. Grr. :(

Well I sure would like to be able to remove my zapper skin so I could see my strain progress. But the wardrobe is still busted.

I can't access the wardrobe to remove my zombie skin, so I can't get infected.

I can't access forums at all so I can't get/give any kisses.

So frustrating :(

I thought the kissing times were reduced or was that just the strains? Waiting 10min after you kissed for one candy heart is kind of annoying >( Please

I lost my infection too. I paid SP to get a new strain so many times. I filed a ticket. I suggest you do the same so they know there’s a problem :)
