Racism in ESO?

MountainHound

Why is there such a transformation from being black to becoming a vampire. I just took vampire off and forgot that I actually made a black cat. This is an extreme case but all character go white...

There are plenty of black vampires I see around on TV etc but it seems ESO well...

Me with racism I mean vampirsm on:


Me without it:


Now before you all go saying there are not any black vampires, I bring you evidence:









Now that I have your attention:

Please fix the damn lag in PVP and stop my FPS dropping to below <5 and my ping shooting up to 999+ when more than 10 people are on the screen at the same time and remove the fricken AOE caps so we can de-stress your servers for you and break up these zerg balls:

"Prime time" (LAG):

"Non prime time" (NO LAG):

If you watch both the same videos the fights are "similar" in numbers but the difference would most likely be the amount of fights / people on the server overall. So the servers IMO should have population locks at the very LEAST halved.

Vampires have no blood,so they have no color to their skin.They are dead and drained of blood.
Movies are movies.But all the Vamps in ancient stories,books,etc,in Myth,have colorless skin.It's not ESO racism.

Because vampires don't go out when sun is shining, that's why they have pale skin. This of course applise only to races with light skin by default, but over time it became treat so typical to vampires that they do the same thing with all races.

... Now artists cannot create white vampires without being accused of racism ???? (/facepalm) .

(Reminder : vampires are NOT a race... and they don't exist IRL... )

PS : thanks for the lag videos. Nobody realized there was lag before you came up with them...

Vampires are vampires. Just seems zos don't want black ones.

Using a word like racism in these forums is like putting gasoline on a tiny camp fire.

...and that makes them racists ?

("Vampires are vampires". Fine. Creative. Care to elaborate ?)

Has nothing to do with racism it's just their version of a vampire there have been many different interpretations of vampirism there has been tv shows that do not follow the mainstream view like the vampire diaries true blood just to name two.
Some of the older vampire movies the vamps were pretty pale.

If you drain black person of blood he/she will not turn white, but dark brownish grey (or greyish brown?). I've had very dark Dunmer, turned her vamp and now she looks like a white lab mouse

I'm very capable of reading, this is just not worth reading. Far too long, i did catch on it was satire though, then i near fell asleep.

At least white Khajiit are a thing, Redguards turn bright purple when they become vampires!

(I know this is a joke thread but I'm not joking send help my Redguard is purple and needs a doctor)

''There are black actors in these movies about vampires so ZOS is racist for making all vampires white''

Vampirism in Tamriel is a disease with multiple strains. All strains of vampirism consume the afflicted's blood while augmenting the body to be capable of gathering more blood. This leads to pale/colorless skin and "vampire ashes" gatherable from dead vampires. All vampires are categorized as undead due to their blood being consumed by the disease (the disease is maintaining a corpse).

The dominant strain of vampirism in 2E582 is Noxiphilic Sanguivoria, a more powerful strain that goes extinct briefly after this time period.

Lycanthropy and other forms of were-people are also strains of disease.

That title is just pure Clickbait, glad I didn't fall for...... Damn

dsalter

i can understand why since the vampire skin setting is set to a specific shade of skin rather than lightening what you have which tbh is kinda odd for a khajiit since... you know... fur... and argonians shouldn't lose loads of colour in their scales either since reptiles scales keep alot of the colour when they come off which is a dead scale yet still keeps most of the look to it.

so basically unlike older ES games, the skin shade isn't lowered, it's specifically set to white, kind of a terrible oversight, they need to reduce how white you go slightly... looks overkill currently

Amagad OP don't you know that Palewave is the only fashion style we've got in ESO? Q.Q


..also ZOS pls fix the damn lag + loading screens and in combat 5min after spawning at keep and start picking flowers, cuz gives up running 10min to get to battlefield ...fight will be over by the time I reach there anyways -.- yay from expensively geared warrior to flowerpicking wolfbane.

Yeah,I said this in basic terms and someone said this:
"If you drain black person of blood he/she will not turn white, but dark brownish grey (or greyish brown?). I've had very dark Dunmer, turned her vamp and now she looks like a white lab mouse "

Since when do undead have to comply with the laws of biology ?
