Re: Vampire stages still work the wrong way.
I looked at the vamp overhaul that came out and ran the other way.
Being well fed makes your health brittle and you are easier to kill? What? No way - it should be an incentive to feed. So having plenty of blood in your belly should buff your health regen. Unfed should be a debuff.
Being well fed makes you more vulnerable to fire? No way - it should be an incentive to feed. Blood is not gasoline. Being well fed does not mean your vamp sweat is flammable. So having plenty of blood in your belly should grant a buff against fire. Unfed should be a debuff.
Being well fed makes it take more effort (resources) to use your abilities? No way - there should be incentives to keep feeding. Being well fed should make it easier to perform your abilities. Unfed should be a debuff, because nobody does a good job while hangry. Or say that being well fed improves vampiric focus resulting in you being more effective.
Being well fed makes it harder to pass as normal? No way - appearance should be an incentive to feed. A starved vampire should look dry, gaunt, a bit ghoulish; while a well fed vampire should look as normal as anyone else.
Being well fed does make it easier to perform your vamp abilities. That’s as it should be.
Blood is food, blood is fuel, blood is life, blood is power. For a vampire, blood is what makes the world go ‘round. Any aspect of a vampire that is affected by blood should improve when the vampire consumes blood, because blood is life and power and fuel.
The individual aspects should be reordered so that more blood means better, for a vampire the answer should always be ‘feed more’. With mild debuffs for sitting at the stage of starvation, as a counterbalance to the buff from dark stalker passive.
Stages should not progress while logged out, to preserve people’s ability to pop on for a few moments to do quick chores etc. it would suck to pop on to check mail / refill trader / get something off that character and suddenly get jumped or shunned because you became starved while offline.

Re: Please give us back Rapid Maneuver!

Skills are not positioned based on their power. Some of the most powerful skills in the game are in the first slot.
Yes, skills have been moved or nerfed before, but that was in order to balance gameplay. Rapids itself was nerfed due to being overpowered in PVP, by removing it's immunity to roots/snares and reducing the Major Expedition to 8 secs. Most PVPers grumbled about that too (including me), but got on with it, just like most other changes.
However when it comes to Major Gallop, there is nothing about Rapids that is unbalanced. It wasn't over performing. Nothing about the game has changed since launch to make it any more or less needed. Nothing about the game has changed since launch to make it any more or less powerful than it has been for the past 6 years.
So no, moving it deeper doesn't make sense, when there were other options available.
Re: Vampire stages still work the wrong way.
The fact they designed a better rework for the NPCs over the players will always be funny to me.
They get a cool new skill line with Blood Knight and Vampire lord transformations (both of these easily could have been morphs with the base wingless scion being the default ability), cool new abilities including a bat swarm gap closer, summonable blood imps and death hounds, a life drain that stuns and lifts people in the air....various AoE blood magic attacks.
They look better, play better, and are designed better.
But hey! At least we get a claw swipe that is only used by blood fiends, right?

Re: ANSWERED! (Why don't the Essence of Heroism potions not work?)
It only works while in combat.
Re: Dark Passions Regalia Flap
Also as a warning, this can be worn by male characters as well...
Re: Dark Passions Regalia Flap
The whole premise of the costume is creepy at best. I know marketing teams think everyone playing their game is a hormonal 12 year old who’s never seen a woman before but please chill out

You won't see "consistent" results just from some tests, but it's fairly strange to dismiss any results as non existent, most test had an impact but this one somehow brought more to the table outside of lesser ping for lots of people.
How exactly it is qol for healers? If you heal your group, that attack keep, some group members are too far away to heal, and people from other groups are dying near a healer, while healer is useless to them. It also completely kills solo healing. Maybe we can make another test, where you can't damage anyone unless you are grouped? It will be qol for dps indeed *sarkasm.

Our only hope now is for Microsoft to fix this lag...

I had two male characters perform this in front of me a couple years ago, unprovoked. This was in Daggerfall by the bank on the south east side of the city. I just went into my Captain Margaux house, said some words out loud about the incident in my free speech home and shook my head.
The good news. I lived to tell the tale.
