More vampire stuff

bloodthirstyvampire

You know considering nearly every player in the game is a vampire im suprised nothing has been done for vampires in crown like motifs outfits pets or titles or polymorph just look at the vampire to non vampire ratio going on even a permanent blood head marking like what a vampire gets when feeding.

I cured vampirism last week after having it since level 23. Best decision I ever made.

Give it time vampire sucks at first (no pun intended ) but you will love it when you cap out the skill line

Vampirism us usefull af, depending what content you do. My mDK is enjoying vampirism, I have vampire sNB, mSorc is one of them too. Only when I do heavy fire based PvE I decrease vampirism to stage 2, for everything else, I am stage 4. Being able to spam mist form or bats in PvP on my mDK saved me countless times. Also, 10% more stam/magicka regen is priceless. NB ganking with full speed in stealth on stage 4 is useful too. If I rolled Dunmer for my mDK I would't even bother decreasing vampirism stages at all.

I got cured on one of my characters and replaced with Werewolf but only because I went from Stamina to Magicka.

As soon as we hit lv 10 we should have had the master vampire achievement as a title

I rocked it maxed for months. After respec to StamSorc with OT I dropped vamp skills, only did passives. Honestly the fire damage was obliterating me in certain content. CoA being one of them.

I agree totally! I love playing vampires! It would be nice to have the same full rp experience as I have with my main in Skyrim.

Eh. I have one vampy alt, but that's it among my dozend characters.

What I really would like to see for ESO vampires is more stuff to make them feel like -vampires- not merely like "players with an additional skill line"...

And one large part of this would be having to hide their vampirism as to not upset all the mortals around them. I mean, take a look at the rivenspire questlines... all the time things like "She is a soulless monster now, quick, kill her in arkays name!" come up from the common people, even though count ravenwatch shows vampires do not neccessarily have to be monsters..

So, how about... any vampire who gets found out goes kill-on-sight by the city guard? And the chance to be found out as vampire and not just a sickly pale human would be dependent on your stage... say, 20% at stage one, 40% at stage 2, 80% at stage 3 and automatic at stage four. And when found out, the guard will come after you, all of the NPCs will refuse to offer you their services and call the guard to your location instead, and so on.

And to balance that, you would get an option to disguise yourself, just like we saw count ravenwatch doing. Either as toggleable skill, or as specially enchanted ring, that disguise would lower your appereance (and with it the detection chance) by ojne level - meaning at stage one, you'd look completely mortal. Of course, the disguise would break if you use any vampire skills - but not at using normal weapon attacks.

And of course, there need to be more feeding options for vampires saddled with the need to masquerade to better control their vampirism stages. Like... alchemically treated flasks that can store a feeding worth of blood "for later" if you feed at full capacity. And possibly the option to feed from willing players (giving them a health debuff that lasts for a while).

And while we're at it, I'd also love to see more of the classics. Now, mirrors are not really an issue, but... running water? How about... half swimming speed for vampires, give them a reason to stay out of the river?
Or nighttime... they already established that daylight does not hurt this vampirism strain, which is all right, since it was the same with ole dracula - but prince vlad lost his vampiric powers during daytime, so it would make sense that the vampire skills be unaccessible as long the sun is in the sky, right?

And one more thing... there ought to be at least one "vampire sanctuary" per alliance, where vamps can let their fangs hang out, so to speak, filled with vampy NPCs, crafting stations and perhaps even a vendor for vamp-only gear (paid in filled blood flasks, perhaps?) - they could easily reuse the locale from the initiation quest for that one, with a few small upgrades, yes?

Would love to see more lamae bal popping up for future quests or even hircine for werewolves. I mean after you're done with the initiation it just feels like you need more, if that makes any sense. Yeah we burn quicker, we look sick, but only a few npcs have actually acknowledged our condition. Being a vamp or wolf should feel different to being a regular healthy soulless humanoid or hey look its the hero that saved King Casimir blah blah blah the end.

If they do anything for Vampires.. at least give them fangs. I'm surprised no one has noticed that their vampires during emotes, combat, and even feeding have normal teeth.

You did notice that ESO vampires feed from a range that would need to give them 15 meters long fangs to do it in conventional manner?

I love being a vamp—the only thing I hate about it is the look of vamps in stage 4. It's like a win-lose situation. You want the awesome dark stalker passive, but you don't want to look like a extremely pale and veiny weirdo. If there was an option to toggle the vampire skin on/off, I would love that. But like it wouldn't be something that made it impossible to tell if a player was a vampire. You could still have special looking eyes and maybe slight veins below the eyes like in vamp stage 1 or 2.

I mean just look at a Redguard vampire—I don't think they're supposed to be that pale. Just cause you're a vampire, doesn't mean you've gotta be paler than all hell lol.

And what is a vampire to you? these vampires are clearly based on the real depiction of vampires from the 17th and 18th century where they were thought to be as real as a witch was and well we know what people did witches then don't we, people believed vampires were bloated corpses who did not have fangs nor were effected by sunlight and who would rise from their grave to spread disease and drink the blood of the innocents, they aren't based off of Bram Stokers Fan Fiction.

I agree! And vampire khajiits also become pale, even if they actually have black fur.
And in any case, its already impossible to tell if the player is a vampire if theyre wearing a polymorph or one of the skins (dromathra, soul shriven etc).

As for vampy stuff, would be nice to have death hound pet. Like in Skyrim.

And fangs. Vamps without fangs look weird.

Yes I'd love more content for Vamp/WW, though I wouldn't say Vamp is more popular, at least not on EU. I tend to see more WW in chat, and around the world. So I'd like to see content for BOTH, maybe even a kind of three way story for them. I brought this kind of thing up, maybe like a year or so ago. We have the ability to morph skills, how about we have the ability to morph our Vamp/WW? We could be forced to seek out a trainer, it's not like we don't see "powerful" Vamp/WW during questing.

Why is everyone becoming vamps now? Is there a new build posted by a famous player that all the sheeple must follow?

I would like if they change the feed animation, it's kind of ridiculous-lazy..... (sorry fans of Legacy of Kain)

Same here but I get asked for bites all the time now so there must be a reason why so many want it.

Bat swarm one of the ultimates in game stam and mag regen life drain stuns enemys and heals at the same time

I have had several vamp characters since launch and only one of them is still and will remain that way. From a story perspective they are fun but I've found the skill lines and passives, for the most part, too much of a burden I guess? Outside of my one sneaky stealhy murderous little bosmer, the things gained from vamp just weren't worth that much for the other toons, for me.

Edit to add: I forgot the main bit: yes! Bring on the vampire lord polymorph and some other good cosmetic stuffs for them in the crown store please.

It works in this game as it's almost like blood magic, same for the vamp drain spell except you don't consume that blood.
It needs to be something triggered from a few feet away otherwise we wouldn't be able to use the blade of woe close up.

Inhuman003

For pets I would like to see bats added in the crown store and a dark shadow cat with red eyes too.

What if they just removed the BoW for Vamps, instead allowing an insta stealth kill as the feeding animation. I'm thinking where the Vamp closes in and bites a chunk out of the persons neck, or if that's too violand something similar to what happens in Vampire: Bloodlines.
