Survival 2022

February 19, 2022 2:51 pm

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

Note from Amber: Gunner clearly broke everything, so the Voluntary Infection Program is closed for now while we figure out just what went wrong. You can still kiss on the forums/statuses to get your candy hearts. If you paid for/cleared a virus while the VIP was open, please file a ticket for reimbursement! Sorry everyone. <3

[item=Fantastic Fiction: Enemies to Lovers]

Enjoy love of all forms with these new items from L'amour Parlor. To grab these items, you'll need to use candy hearts which you receive by kissing other users. You can use the following code in your status or on the forums.

Skitters has collected the latest underground fashions and trends just for you! These are perfect for those that don't really fit the sweetheart color scheme Louis provides.

Keep an eye out for floating flowers! You can lay these flowers down at the Survivor Memorial. These flowers also restock at Seedlings.

Snowball throwing have been closed while Survival goes on. We will be decreasing the achievement for throwing snowballs, so you'll be able to go wild when it opens back up! We will be keeping snowballs open past the start of Spring; more information once the feature opens back up.

Feeling overwhelmed? Not sure about something regarding the holiday? Check our our Survival FAQ here!

Survival will end at 11:59pm on March 7. The Survival Forums will close on March 15.

I hope the update works soon

Is there old valentine items in any Quests or gonna be?

February 20, 2022, 9:05 pm by

?!!? Right?!? Thought it was some Mandela Effect going down, thanks for reaffirming my sanity XD

February 20, 2022, 8:48 pm by

Didn't there used to be a "kiss a random user" function on the news side bar??

February 20, 2022, 6:01 pm by

Thanks for the update! You guys deserve kudos for working hard behind the scenes for this. My husband is a computer programmer, so I know how tedious bugs can get sometimes. <3

February 20, 2022, 5:27 pm by

Thank you

Oh, the new items are so pretty, I especially love the hearts! Hopefully Gunner will be back in business soon, I am looking forward to getting a new strain. <3

Extensions???? Etc????? PERKS UP

February 20, 2022, 4:02 pm by

Still being worked on. :/

February 20, 2022, 3:59 pm by

There seems to be a bug/glitch. As far as we know Subetateam is working on it, but debugging code takes time.

February 20, 2022, 3:56 pm by

Why can I not choose a strain 🙄 every event there is always problems

February 20, 2022, 3:54 pm by

Any update? I am unable to even get a bite 😭

February 20, 2022, 3:51 pm by

Drank a vial yesterday, seems that was the right thing to do. This is just disappointing now. I'm trying to be patient, but it's really hard when this is one of the biggest events subeta has and the community actually participates! Updates would be nice!

February 20, 2022, 3:47 pm by

Do you think it would be possible to make the strains from previous years available, and then have the new ones later when that's been fixed?

February 20, 2022, 3:33 pm by

it's still be looked into! There will be a news post when we either reopen VIP or have a substantial update. I personally had to hand this off to because even triple checking, I have no idea what went wrong. One of my other jobs is having their fundraising gala today, so I'm swamped with that but still around to provide any information I can about the gosh darn infections. Once things get sorted, we'll talk about extensions, etc. :)

February 20, 2022, 3:18 pm by

oh man.. rip new zombies. :'D

February 20, 2022, 3:11 pm by

Agree. Seems like the free option was the only one working, as most of what I've seen with people getting the wrong strain has been with the paid options. I always go for the free option, then ping in the forums for bites. I was able to sign up before VIP was taken down, and have Foot Rash progressing currently.

At the same time, Survival will get extended to make up for the time lost, especially since no one is really getting any of the new strains, which people do have to pay for to get if they want to be one of the first.

February 20, 2022, 3:02 pm by

Are there any updates at all?

February 20, 2022, 2:33 pm by

Frustrating as this all is, if the staff extends Survival to compensate for the days VIP has been down then I don't think it'll be a huge issue, just another annoyance. Still annoying, though :/

February 20, 2022, 2:28 pm by

I think it wouldn't be so bad if there was still a way to get the older viruses while trying to figure out why the new ones aren't working. The fact that the page is down completely means that people can't even get an infection from past years while waiting for the new ones to be fixed, so unless you happened to be online before the page was taken down or you have a vial strain that you still needed, you're kind of just out of luck for the moment.

February 20, 2022, 2:24 pm by

Ah man. I'm getting so many 504 errors right now n.n

February 20, 2022, 2:18 pm by

can i be a nasti boy yet

February 20, 2022, 1:54 pm by

i wish we would just get an update. you guys cannot not know Survival is a community favourite, we’ve been anticipating this for months now, new and old users alike. Biting and being bitten is one of the coolest activities on subeta as a whole, so most of us feel a lil let down right now. Of course I understand that you too would love this to just work. But it doesn‘t. And mistakes, bugs, errors, they do happen. We know that. But would a short message saying "sorry you guys gotta wait but we still have no clue what‘s actually going on so we can’t tell you whether is gonna take another hour of day" would have been really really nice. 🥲

Anyway, trying to kiss the pain away and enjoy all the new items anyway. Happy Survival, yall.

February 20, 2022, 12:49 pm by

Oh man. I hope Gunner stops having a fit. Did we forget to give him chocolate or something??? I mean, I did say luminaire was my favorite event recently. I'm sorry, Gunner! I promise I love you too!!!

February 20, 2022, 12:43 pm by

I should have drank a vial right away. -sigh-

February 20, 2022, 12:01 pm by

No updates on discord.

February 20, 2022, 11:07 am by

Would have been better if I would have gotten one of the strains I didn't have from last year,lol. Really sad seeing a strain I already have progress.

February 20, 2022, 10:43 am by

I love this site, I’ve been here forever, but it seems like lately everything is broken 😞

February 20, 2022, 10:31 am by

Oh, regrets. I should have just kept the old strain. It's not like it was one I already had. And way-to-go me being all organised and having already worked through all the vial strains. Why am I like this?

February 20, 2022, 10:18 am by

Does anyone know if there's offsite updates in discord about this, or has there really been radio silence for 16 hours?

February 20, 2022, 9:41 am by

Can I also point out since it's a separate comment, that the items are really nice this year, the legs and arms are creative esp

February 20, 2022, 9:39 am by

I'm sure they will let us know/make another news post when things are operational again, and I'm sure they'll adjust times to make up for the time lost. Give them a minute to figure it out and fix it. In the meantime, as others have pointed out, you can file a ticket for your inconvenience.

February 20, 2022, 7:38 am by

Any battle challengers?

February 20, 2022, 6:50 am by

i should have went and drank a vial right away. 🥴🤧

February 20, 2022, 6:42 am by

I drank a vial because I didn't want to lose time

February 20, 2022, 6:24 am by

Lets kiss the world!

February 20, 2022, 5:48 am by

After all those years I still don't know, what all the flowers or kissing the memorial more than once should be good for?

And the flowers are definitely intimidating the birds, they are hiding and won't show up!

February 20, 2022, 4:29 am by

IT SAYS IN THE NEWS POST YOU GET THEM FROM KISSING DDDUUUURRR

Why did I think you didn't??

I apologize, I am functioning (or rather, not) on 3 hours of sleep. Thanks for your help. :D

February 20, 2022, 4:27 am by

Okay I've been here a million years and I guess I'm thinking of Vesnali? But then how do you get candy hearts, that's not from kissing? Why have I suddenly forgotten how to get candy hearts!!

February 20, 2022, 3:16 am by

I can forgive Gunner because Gunner is cute.

February 20, 2022, 2:44 am by

I'm so exciteddd!

February 20, 2022, 2:15 am by

Yeah, I would have preferred a later start to make sure everything worked right over what's happening now.

And yes, giving more updates and telling us when you think you might be able to open it again would have helped. I'm still very shy about joining the Discord server in case people there are rude to me, since I'm on quite a few user's block lists here and they might be on there. I set alarms to wake up throughout the night so I could get a strain as soon as I could, but it turned out to be for nothing and now I've gotten less sleep than I could have. If you'd said "we might not have this open until after midnight or tomorrow morning" then I could have gone to sleep without worrying about missing out on too much.

I hope that we do get the instant skin option again like we had last year, even if it's not until the last day.

February 20, 2022, 1:53 am by

These flowers are laid at the Survivor Memorial here.

When you click on the 'lay flowers' link, it will lay a flower from your inventory.

February 20, 2022, 1:39 am by

It's starting to feel like there wasn't much of a point to starting Survival at best, and that this is ultimately going to lessen the experience at worst. IDK, I'm being pessimistic. An update or ETA would certainly dissuade anxiety/speculation. I get that you're all busy though and am hoping this is one of the expected-but-temporary flukes that tends to come with holidays (and Survival in particular it seems, lol).

February 20, 2022, 1:31 am by

I kinda thought this would have been fixed hours ago, a little disappointed that we can't get a new skin or an older one right now, unless we use a vial.

February 20, 2022, 1:26 am by

Is flowering not working or am I doing it wrong?

February 20, 2022, 12:08 am by

Is it ready yet? I thought maybe they were waiting for the pet spotlight so that it didn't push the news post down

February 20, 2022, 12:05 am by

I hit stage 2 of my strain but it's a strain I already have. This is disappointing! :(

February 19, 2022, 11:52 pm by

You have stage 2 of Foot Rash! This is your base.
