Vampire Feeding Is Cool, But Really Need To Feed So Often?

Vaerth · May 2014

This game seems to be bent on making immersion priority. If so, how do they think that a Vampire needs to feed every 30 minutes? Really? That often? I am considered a "Blood Starved Vampire" within a few hours of play...

I do not care for the Vampire stages, but have no issue with it being there either. I do, however, think that it is annoying how OFTEN I must feed to remain at stage 1. I mean really? Every 30 minutes?

Can we just pick a stage to stay at? LOL

I agree. 30 minutes is too short. They should lengthen it to 45 min or even 60 min or at least make it longer as you level up the skill line.

I like the skill line idea, maybe a passive that lets you go X amount of time longer before progressing to the next stage would be a pretty cool idea. Unlocked at Vampire skill 10 so you are more reserved like an "elder" Vampire and it would make sense for the new Vampires to require more frequent feeding. Kind of a cool concept.

A day in Tamriel time in this game is around 5 hours. So thirty minutes of our time is roughly 2.5 hours game time. And only stage 1 requires you to feed within 30 minutes, I believe the rest are something like 1.5 hours, which would be, like I don't know, 6-7 hours game time. If we're assuming vampires feed as often as a human person eats food, this actually seems about right, considering their quicker day cycle

Informative but still not really helpful when I am stage 3 by the time I finish crafting lol. I like the look and feel of Stage 1, just hate having a 30 minute time frame to feed or go to stage 2 is all.

Its way to short of a time frame to keep feeding. I just hang on stage 4 because of it. Don't mind it so much.

I cant not stand to look at my Character at stage 4, more Zombie than Vampire. Stage 1 and 2 are perfect.

Because time goes by fast in game. A day in Tamriel is not equivalent to one day in real time.

With the amount of vampires about, it's amazing that anyone else is still alive with all of them sucking necks so often.

A full "24 hour" day in game is like 4.5-5 hours real time

I like my Vampire's look at stage 2, Stage 4 is ugly as a sith from SWTOR.

Lol well I prefer the Vampire look over Zombie look. If only we could pick a stage to remain at visually, while have stages not change look, only have it change buffs/debuffs.
