Good job team, we did it! The Apocalypse has been prevented ^-^ I have to say, this event has been a hoot to watch unfold so far. I am sorry for the admins and the balance issues, but I find it amusing to be cured and cured 7 times in the space of 30 minutes. I hope we can get it figured out and all have fun, thanks, staff, for all the hard work you’ve put in and are continuing to put in! <3

Huge thanks to the mods for working on the balancing for this event, it’s so unique and been super fun to watch unfold so far! I feel like the infection needs some accumulative element to it, much like healers can accumulate healing items to use anytime they aren’t infected. Maybe each time you’re cursed, it adds up and increases… I don’t know, maybe a percentage chance to be a tier 2 or 3 cursed? So the stone curse gets stronger as the event goes on? People are just too quick in the healer camp for the 24/48 hour marks to really work, I feel. :O

Hello again! Nice job eradicating the curse! A few more quick updates:
One big thing that will still need to change besides tuning these parameters is how long it takes for cursed people to advance to stages 2 and 3. We’ll be adjusting these over the next few days. A few people have also pointed out that the timer can become inaccurate if you change sides (because the curse timer and the heal timer are not exactly the same). I’ll work to build out a fix for that tomorrow.

And so, the apocalypse begins again. Glad to see a grace period back in the game, very nice. Looking forward to the curse stage timers getting tweaked so we start actually seeing some later stage infected running around. >:3 Also appreciate the random curse/heals when one side ‘wins’ the game.

Miranda Condor no, that’s the effect of the timeout that you’re seeing: everyone who isn’t infected was healed in the last 15 minutes. Things are going to be wonky for the next while as all of you work through the glut of extra salves that you crafted while the curse was eradicated. Hopefully it calms down soon :)

less than a minute ago: Yet Extremely Painful (Ashlar) has cured you of the Stoneskin Curse. How kind of them! Con has been betrayed by his own brother D: (Ashlar Con is coming for you <.<; >.> :| )

The 15 min grace period is so nice. <3<3 (Arintol ~Not if Dex noms you first! >D bwehehehe~) As an aside, I mathed it out, and to get one of everything in the shop takes 790 points. The points cap for this event is 510. |: I know getting the bags is cheaper, but this is really painful is someone wants the actual pets themselves and not the shrooms, or multiple of the items.

RE: Shop prices My math on it are as follows: 36*5+44*5+130*6=180+220+780=1180 if you buy everything directly, including both poses for each pet, 43.22% of which you can pay for with every achievement ~~~~~ I prefer getting the actual pets rather than the random loot bags for them, so having that be over budget is big sads.

Having a few NPCs who don’t have a protection timer on either side would solve the problem, though I’ve no idea how hard that’d be to set up. As it stands, we could end up in a situation where everyone on the site on both sides are immune to team switching until the timers start running out on the protections. So hmm.
