Can we get a hide vamp option yet?

ezio45

I think this is a priority

Kawall

Are we going to see this hide vamp posts every week?

No, you choose Vamp you should look like one. The only thing they need to do is have tattoos go over the Vamp skin, not be under it. Skin fading doesn't make tattoos fade. There are prehistoric corpses found with very dark tatts, I mean come on ZOS!

Please don't use skins to hide your vamparism or costumes or outfits to hide your monster set armor and arena weapons or you are a hypocrite

I didn't choose the vamp life it chose me. I wish we could at least choose the stage we want to look. Being a vamp gives great benefits for gameplay but it affects non gameplay aspects. We can customize everything but this so why not.

I don't. thanks.

They have skins in the game. I guess they could add some sort of quest to earn a "normal" skin that you could put on if you were a vamp.

Although there isn't much of a drawback to being a vampire, or everyone wouldn't be one (as in, the few drawback are far outweighed by the benefits), so apparently having to "look like a vampire" is the biggest drawback. Maybe they should add more negatives if they take that one away.

Necromancer skin or zombie one alleviates issue or so what many are doing.

Hurbster

I can disguise my armour, wear a pot on my head and give myself tattoos. So can a vampire. None of which change what I fundamentally am, which is essentially not a dead thing that feeds off the blood of the living.

Another week and another thread about this topic. If you want the perks of being a Vampire you people need to accept how you look. Its one of the trade offs. Deal with it.

jedtb16_ESO

no...

you chose to be a parasite it is appropriate that you look like one.

DeadlyPhoenix

Other vampire NPCs are able to completely hide their vampirism from you until they reveal to you that they are in fact, a vampire. Not even "powerful" vampires, ones that don't even realize they're a bloodfiend.

So why shouldn't we be able to hide ours, especially considering we're the vestige and could potentially learn how to conceal it better?

Geru77

Ha ha nope. Shoulda thought twice about getting the bite. Deal or get it healed.

Feed your vampire babies once in a while....they just might like it

vestige (noun)
1. A trace or remnant of something that is disappearing or no longer exists.

2. Biology. A part or organ of an organism which has become reduced or functionless in the course of evolution.

We had our soul ripped from us, so how on Nirn does being the vestige help us have more humanity, we souless bloodsucking remnants?

Being the vestige and a vampire would be a good argument for why we must look undead!

Pink_Violinz

My healer would appreciate it already.

She needs the regen. I couldn't care less about lore or the debate of undeath. I just don't want to look like a shriveled old prune anymore. I have skins, I have costumes, but unless an overhaul is made to vampires it's just not pleasant to look at.

If it was retextured, to something more appropriate like Skyrim's vampires, I'd be fine with in. You became paler, your face became gaunt, but it all fit an aesthetic. You were undeniably uglier, but you weren't white as snow and your eyes didn't stare into the player's soul. The vampire appearance change is simply not of high quality in ESO. While I would really like to simply hide it, I feel an updated version would be more appropriate.

Nyghthowler

As I've stated many times before on pretty much EVERY post on this topic, I would be happy if Z0$ would simply fix the damned tattoo issue.
Tattoos DO NOT get paler simply because the skin looses pigment. They would stand out even more. I have a ton of tats IRL, so I'm speaking from experience.

Recremen

Nah, the most important escape and survival tools in the game are only for elite players willing to sacrifice their looks for power. That's totally a fun design decision and not a pain in the ass for roleplayers at all.

No it's not. the trade offs are in the stages (added magicka and stamina regen, deadly weakness to fire and negative heath regen). the way you look is irrelevant. it's just annoying that you can't really see your tattoo's.

It was meant to be that we are more inherently powerful than your average person. You still cannot argue my first fact though. NPCs can do it, with minimal effort, why shouldn't we, the vestige, be able to?

Sorry if you don't like the look then cure your self

Cosmetics should never be a tradeoff for combat mechanics. We legit just had a whole patch at the beginning of the year dedicated to that concept.

Until it’s implemented yes, if it annoys you then agree with them..otherwise pipe down and deal with it

Also for those who say you get the perks deal with the looks, umm where‘s the speed and strength perks? Oh so you get to leave those out but making them look normal is asking for too much

Well, it is a question that obviously concerns people on both sides of the argument...

My take on is is still the same, like I wrote elsewhere (and yes, if they make new threads every week, I will just copy my ideas there every week):

TheShadowScout wrote: »

I always felt that there should be -something- to hide the vampire appearance, and some good reasons for vampires to "masquerade" as mortals.

Like...

• ...give them an ability that lowers appearance by one stage, meaning at stage 1 they can use it to seem completely mortal... at the cost of an ability slot. We know it is possible, since Count Verandis Ravenwatch did it during the first meeting in the rivenspire story!

...and then...

• ...give all NPCs an chance to spot vampires and react unfavorably... guards would go "kill on sight", vendors and other civilian NPCs would refuse to talk to the person and yell for the guard instead... make vampires seem like -monsters- instead of mere players with an additional skill line. And have that chance being dependend on their stage... at los stages they might perhaps pass for sickly or albinos, but there still ought to be a chance someone will go "waitaminit, that's a bloodsucking fiend! Guards, kill it, kill it with fire!" - so, lets say... 20% discovery chance at stage 1, 40% at 2, 80% at 3 and automatic as stage four - lowered by the aforementioned ability just like the looks.

Of course, I personally would want other "classic" drawbacks as well. Like...

• ...greatly reduced swimming speed, and even a strong magica drain while swimming, to make them do their very best to avoid any "running water"...
• ...a chance to loose control and auto-attack innocent civilian NPCs, the guards of your own side in cyrodil and even other players including your own party members (unless they too are vampires) when at stage four and a vampire just can no longer resist the smell of sweet blood running through someones vains...
• ...penalties during daylight (yes, I know, the lore made them all daywalkers as to not make the players too vexed if they took damage in sunlight like in all other TES games, but there still could be -some- effect; the traditional dracula from the story did not crumble to ash under the son, merely lost his supernatural powers... the "sundeath" came later, in the movies when they wanted a more flashy "snatching victory from the jaws of defeat" ending then the original tale provided)

But I also would like to see some more perks for vampires. Like...

• ...gaining access to the same teleport gap closer that bloodfiends have!
• ...gaining a "charm" skill that allows them to feed from civilian NPCs (and possibly even players, though those would get a chance to CC-break the effect!) without the victim calling in a crime (witnesses still would tho)
• ...doing damage when they feed off some NPC, leaving those at half health from blood loss!
• ...gaining a "Bite of Woe" when joining the dark brotherhood, so you finally no longer have to worry about both being on the same command and sometimes triggering the wrong one, but get one "DoItAll" bite attack that also counts in Sithis eyes for proper assassinations!
• ...not being aggroed from random bloodfiends in the wilds (yellow status, attackable but non-hostile) as those lesser bloodsuckers finally learn their place!
• ...gaining access to a special "vampires only" location (maybe reusing and expanding the one from the vampire introductionary quest? And also adding a door to there from a certain cave in cyrodil?) where they can find willing blood donor vampire groupies, crafting stations for and vendors selling vampire-supporting item sets, whatever...

Those sort of things for ESO vampires would fit with many classic vampire stories, and it -would make being a bloodsucking fiend in ESO more interesting.
More vexing too, but that is as it should be I say, extra advantages and extra disadvantages to make the vampires feel more like a monster masquerading as mortal rather then merely just another character with extra skill line...

phaneub17_ESO

If you don't mind wearing a quest appearance costume, those hide vampire colors and returns you back to your original self. You just have to stare at a quest costume...

bg22

I’ll pay 5k crowns for one.

Gythral

This is already in game, you can cure it and look good again any time you want!

Palidon

A hide Vampire toggle is greatly needed. Best justification is that many of the facial and body markings either don't show up correctly or not at all on the Vampire skin. Let me push this point further ZOS to one you should take notice of:

ZOS you are losing revenue by not having a toggle. You offer several body and facial tatto's via your Crown Store. Folks who have Vampire characters will not buy them because after doing the preview see they either don't look right or don't work at all on the Vampire Skin.

jaschacasadiob16_ESO

You have the option: get cured.
Can we permaban now?

Your definition of priority is a lot different than mine...

No it is not needed. No it is not going to happen.

In case you forgot it is a curse and it's part of the lore, has been for every single elder scrolls game.

If you don't like it cure yourself. Because im telling you right now it is not going to change.. It's that easy.

Demion

You can hide it abit, just eat, oh wait you dont get the bonuses then...

I dont agree that you should be able to hide it, it could however look alot better than it does and a proper feeding mechanic instead of the ludicrous telekinesis power that is now but not be able to hide it.
