Vampire look

Dirtybyrd

I would love for vampires to look normal, No pale skin if you are at stage one, but once you start going to stage 2-4 you look more like a vampire this would be more like a vampire. As far as I know once they drink blood you can't tell if they are one or not

OmniDo

I personally enjoy all the Stages except 4.



Stage 4 just looks completely monstrous, and should be relegated to Bloodfiends in my opinion.

I agree. Vampirism should be hideable like all other cosmetic effects. There is precedent in the lore for it too.

So we go from weekly hide vampirism to daily hide vampirism posts. I don't agree with you. Not that i have any reason but my dislike for vampires. So blood sucking parasite should look like blood sucking parasite.

It would appear that vampires suck at the ability to use the forum search bar.

bloodthirstyvampire

It's lore friendly, people want it, I Wouldn't use it my self but hey whatever makes my kin happy.
Also there should be a vampire quest to obtain the ability.
Or maybe when spell crafting comes about, this can become craftable skill.
Or just a simple toggle, I honestly couldn't care less but I'm not against it, I like to look monstrous.

Also if it does come about guards should kill on site at stage 4, I enjoy disadvantages as much as advantages

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

The game made the choice for me. I don't want to be a vampire, but +10% resource regen is necessary for min-maxing.

We should at least have vampire specific cosmetic choices, would also be nice to have face paint, tattoos, and other cosmetic options be clearly visible on our "parasites" (could really make a living as a salt miner).

Some people in here really seem to dislike vampires. Take a chill pill and drop the ”You chose this, you need to ne punished!” mentality. Theres plenty of weird skins in this game. We have lava skins, zombie skins, stone skins. Would a human skin really be that unimagineable?

Belegnole

While I think Vampires should look like what they are, I agree that makeup should not be layered under the skin effect. I mean come on, since when does someones skin show through a heavy makeup. I could possibly see tattoos fading as they do fade in real life. But makeup?....lol

bad programing

This is how vampires should look like, just real monsters like nosferatu.I prefer vampires that way.
The pic is rather large so here's a spoiler

BaneOfBattler

parasites must look like a parasite if you dont want to look like a parasite go heal parasite condition haha parasite.

This is the twilight effect... The humanization of vampires... lol

Integral1900

The issue for me is that I want it to look characterful but the stage four in eso just looks.... well, rubbish....

Ostacia

The "humanization" of vampires goes back much further than Twilight. Bram Stoker's vampires were human in appearance and only Got Gross right before attacking. Anne Rice's vampires were quite nice looking...better to lure in prey. I could go on, but that's not what we're talking about.

We're talking here about ESO vampires and ESO vampires can obviously blend in per ESO lore. Why not allow players to do the same? No reason.

Some descriptions of vampires.

"Young, seductive, sexual and alluring" The Vampyer 1819

"Female Vampires: Beautiful to the point of hypnotic" Dracula 1897

"Ordinary, but often somewhat above average" Blade

"All are beautiful. The transformation enhances their beauty. The older and stronger they get, the less human they look but still remain beautiful." Vampire Diaries

"Cartoon duck" Count Duckula

Incorrect. In the original story "Dracula" no one knew he was a vampire until he revealed it. He appeared perfectly human and was charming and charismatic, which aided his powers of seduction and persuasion. Not that it really matters because we're talking about separate instances of vampires, but part of the lore of any vampire (except I guess "feral" vampires) is their ability to blend in with normal living people. That's how they feed. If Dracula looked like a monster, he would have starved to death because he could never get close to people. Vampire mythology requires an aspect of charm and likability - it's what makes them dangerous and scary in the first place (that you wouldn't expect someone so nice and charming to kill you).

Vampires have always been sexy. That's how they seduce their victims.

The game made the choice for me. I don't want to be a vampire, but +10% resource regen is necessary for min-maxing.

then don't be a vampire...

the choice was yours....

No it wasn't. Min-maxing isn't a choice. You either have the best stats or you don't. Vampirism is needed for the best stats possible.

So, what do you propose Zos does to balance Werewolf? I mean Vampirism can't get that big of a buff without anything changing to Werewolf form. Seriously, if you want this change, you should keep balance in mind, vampirism is already easier to level than WW, including having to be in form to level abilities to morph them, which makes vampirism already a step up from WW's.

No it wasn't. Min-maxing isn't a choice.

Whaaaat? Dude, chill... This mindset will make you hate games...
Min-max will never be mandatory, is your choice because you want to have an advantage. Remember that if you go to Cyro and get busted by dawnbreakers, you will for sure think "Oh maybe if I wasnt a vamp..."

Min-maxing doesn't give you an advantage. It levels the playing field with other players who min-max.

And I don't PvP. The extra fire damage is negligible in PvE.

You see the contradiction there? You seems kind of lost in your thoughts.
And believe me, min-max is not mandatory, its just your option. Specially in PVE where there is no winner or loser.

So how a vampire looks is causing game imbalance? Letting vampires show off a few tattoos is going to overpower them? Making plate armor look like a cotton shirt is okay but letting a vampire have a rosy complexion wrecks the balance?

And werewolf is simple to level. Find some zombies and run around in a circle killing them for a bit.

Stage one should look normal... Stage 2 should have red eyes, Stage 3 should have pale skin & Stage 3 should have fangs with all the others and that to me would be awesome!

Indeed. I am in the boat where Vampirism would be a useful enhancement to my character and desired build, but I REALLY do not want the look of one.
