Is vampire feeding and blade of woe bug still on PS4/All systems?

I'm about to get DB and I need to know if I should go through with becoming a werewolf instead (like that guy that was Astrid's Husband in Skyrim :D ) or is it fixed now?

    Not necessarily a bug, but an annoyance that Blade of Woe and Vampire Feeding are using the same button (or were idk if it's fixed) so it became very hard for a vampire to do a successful blade of woe assassination

    Working as intended lol honestly I don't understand why they made that way, should've gone with square+cross imo or let us disable feeding.

    Ah shoot it's still there then?! Grrrrr! Guess I'ma be a Werewolf... eh I'll miss the Devouring Swarm and Mist Form (which in my opinion is awesome as a tank when you are last person in group in a dungeon... I use it as a survivability button :) ) But *sigh* I guess that's how it works...

    Not a bug, just bad design. It is pretty annoying when trying to do DB quests and I accidentally feed and get a bounty. Plus it then means I lose my Vamp passives because I accidentally fed.

    It's a non-issue really. Feed has a longer range than blade. Scoot closer and the wording changes. 2 of my characters are vamps and doing DB tasks daily. Just because people see a prompt they smash buttons instead of taking the extra 1/2 second to read.

    I am well aware of the range, and how the mechanic works. And, as you mentioned, most of the time you have the convenience of slowly pacing a tgt to ensure you are activating the blade vice feed. However, when doing the timed dailies where you have to kill a tgt without being detected, I have on more than several occasions either been detected because I was too slow in killing a victim trying to ensure I had the right synergy when the tgt would turn and spot me or I would hit the wring synergy trying to quickly kill the tgt before it turned and before a nearby roving warden spotted me.

    Now, let me caveat this pointing out that I am on console and it is possible the mechanic is cleaned up on PC. That said, it is poorly designed on console. You are welcome to your opinion...this is mine.

    It can also flicker, particularly when an enemy is moving, or if they're at a different height.

    It has been sort of fixed, as you can download an addon that disables vampire feeding.

    On PC...

    On consoles, the fix is to uninstall the game, build or buy a PC that can run ESO (if necessary), buy a copy for PC, start over with the game, create a new character, make them a vampire, get them into the Dark Brotherhood, download the addon.

    So, still fixable, but there's a few extra steps. :trollface:
