Still waiting for someone to suggest an actual reason why this would be detrimental, to the game or to their playing experience or whatever.

So far it just seems like people are anti this for the sake of being anti ...

Some people get off of watching other's be miserable. It's incredibly petty.

I didn't want to believe this was true, but after watching this thread and others on the topic I'm starting to think you may be right.

You see it all the time in all aspects of life. Human beings are petty and spiteful.

That's why I say give werewolves the same passive and give us a choice if we want to look like a vampire or not. I know the only reason I am a vampire and I have 14 of them is for the regen passive.

Yes, and rename the game into Twilight.

Then you probably haven't read enough of their posts. The opposition to allowing vampires to change their appearance is weirdly zealous about their stance, even though it doesn't affect them at all.

That's absolutely not true. I wouldn't have a proper excuse not to transform all of my 8 chars into vampires. Prevents me from playing like I want.

Vampires shouldn't even be allowed to enter cities beyond stage 1 if this was still a TES-game. But I agree, that's only an aspect of the problem. All the glowing skins, mounts and now even weapons... I really wish to have an option to toggle off the glowing effect on these. Show me a simple imperial horse instead of the Psijik one. Would be a dream!

Aren't vampires supposed to die in sunlight?

That's already a huge advantage in ESO.

this is tamriel, multiple strains of vampirism exist in it and the strain we are in eso can survive in sunlight

You vamps keep referring lore that vamps can disguise themselves. Well the lore also says vampire dies in sunlight. ESO already plays nice and let you live in day light but no you want everything nice plus the power without any drawbacks. That seems greedy to me.

Dont quote lore when you fail to state that there is different strains of vamprism

Let me spelll it out for you. ESO created strains to specifically let you live in daylight.

Let me spell it out for you. Reference Oblivion and Skyrim and you will see that two very different kinds of vampirism exist in the world of the Elder Scrolls (Skyrim vampires did not take damage in the sunlight, by the way). ESO did not create anything that had not already been created before as it pertains to how vampirism in Tamriel works. Why lie about something that's so easy to disprove? It's a pretty braindead arguing tactic.

Edit: Also amazingly ironic that you misspelled the word "spell"

Last I heard ESO is a separate game development. The decision is theirs. I stand by what I said.

Personal attack? "Look in the mirror, vampire, do you hate what you see?" LOL

eso is canon to the elder scrolls series and you just want to ignore that just to suit your arguement

If you want to draw in older games like Oblivion and Skyrim then tell me did those vampires disguise themselves?

Oblivion strain of vamparism can disguise themselves to stay hidden that's to clavicus vile. Skyrim there was a vampire that blended in nicely to the population

All I ever hear from this argument is that you all want the benefits but don't want to suffer all the consequences. The cosmetic disfigurement is a part of the package. If it bothers you so much, don't be a vampire. Nobody's forcing you to play that role.

The game does force you to play that role though. Vampirism is overpowered and is necessary for any meta game build. There is a reason why almost every endgame player in the game is a vampire. Hint: It's not because they all want to roleplay as vampires.

I hate how Vampires look, so I'm not one. Simples.

That it may add a few percent to my and game viability is not even a consideration, I don't want to look like a corpse, so I am not going to.

So why exactly do you mind if people get the exact look they want instead of putting on a premade skin or morph? All contra arguments in this thread are based on "I don't want you to be happy because your happiness makes me less happy.".

You know what I don't hear? Your ideas for balancing Werewolf...You want to make Vampirism even more OP than it is without considering how you would balance Werewolf. Being able to blend in completely while maintaining Vampirism stats makes it too powerful to balance fairly.

I love seeing vampires. One of my characters is a vampire too and she's proud.

So no, please don't hide your uniqueness.

Wrong.

Being a Vampire has penalties, for most Vampires in Elder Scrolls part of that is how they look.

Choose to be Vamp? Live with looking like a corpse.

I don't want to look like a corpse, so I have never turned into a Vamp.

The consequence of that choice is that I suffer an effective penalty to resource regen - my choice, you'll never hear me complain about it.

Seriously? Forcing players to put on shiny skins if they don't wanna look like a corpse is an appropriate penalty for you? I'd understand if hiding vampirism was prevented completely but that is obviously not intended.
Again, what exactly would the disadvantage for you personally be if the vampire look was a toggle? If there is none, your answer should be "I don't want you to be happy because your happiness makes me less happy."
There are real meaningful penalties to being a vampire. Not being able to hide is not one of them.

Because it clearly seems that this is a cosmetic issue then and should put a option to hide vamp in the crown store between 2500 - 5000 crowns that way keeps everyone happy

Possibly. Personally I don't care if they make it a toggle or not and if it's through crown store or not. But that's my whole point. It doesn't affect me so I don't care. And so should you.

For the upteenth time, still not hearing how you would balance Werewolf... unless you just don’t care about balance and just want to chase the meta.

Hiding your form completely in pvp while having full benefits is completely unbalanced if you had a shred of insight you would see that.

You are not explaining, just repeating. That is not very convincing.

edit: and what are you talking about balancing werewolf? There are many ways to balance regardless of the look. You imply that non-vampire and vampire is unbalanced atm because they don't look the same.

no, we spend time designing our characters to look pretty,

But then you go and become a Vampire, knowing there's a visual consequence. I do though understand the desire to look exactly how you want to, but we can't have our way completely, and Vampirism is a special case. This isn't just hiding an armor piece or wearing a particularly covering Body Marking. You're supposed to be Cursed/Infected, your body reflects this infection and it's stages of severity. And honestly just be glad there isn't a stage where you actually turn into a Vampire Lord Gargoyle thing ala Skyrim or that one quest Boss in Eastmarch.

Besides if there's an exception made for Vampires, then who's to say the Werewolves won't chime in? What if they don't like looking like a giant dog on steroids but still want to use the skills?

...Because that's kind of the appeal and werewolf is about a visceral transformation? They are two completely different myths with their own seperate identities and this comparison does not make sense in the slightest.

For the record, I'll say what others have said. if you are against vampires hiding their skin, you are not allowed to use anything but the worst cosmetics.

Personally I don't use any cosmetics besides the Khajiit Ear Tufts.

To people against hiding vamparism, don't hide your gear which provides gameplay benefits behind costumes or outfits, or skin behind skins

I don't. You'll also never see my character dressed in a bikini and going into battle, either.

That said, choices matter and people who chose to become vampires also chose to accept the appearance.

Don't like the look of vampirism? Cure it.

But don't expect me to support the idea of "I want my character to look awesome and keep the benefits of vampirism".

That, I will never support.

Because I would know that Zos gave in to some forum users ( was going to use something harsher but it would get deleted ) that made a conscious choice to become a vampire know that it would have a negative visual effect, so if zos give into these forum users then we are on to a slippery slope of what will be next , as many have pointed out there are mechanics in the game to use .

dtsharples

I made a similar comment on the opposing thread.
I don't want to hide Vampirism entirely, but I'd love to be able to choose which stage my character looks like it is at - without having to be at that actual stage.

For example, most of us run Vamp at stage 4 pretty much permanently - especially PVPers - for the dark stalker passive.

Personally I don't see the point of stage 1 Vamp, you just look a bit pasty and pale.

But stage 2 I really do love - It's obviously Vamp, so not trying to hide that fact. But it's subtle enough to not totally ruin the looks of the character I originally created.

Stage 3 is still pretty OK, just a little more ravenous. Still not horrific.

Stage 4 is pretty grim though.
And I understand why they made it this way, your'e supposed to be a starving vampire who is at their most extreme.
But with so many other disguises, illusions, even plain old make-up! Surely we could get a way to disguise a stage or 2 to look less menacing.
I'd pay crowns for some specific 'Vampire Make-up' to take my Characters appearance back to the look of stage 2.

adriant1978

I see people bringing up "balance issues" here. Is it seriously being suggested that everyone would be a vampire without the appearance as a negative? Should we really be balancing the game through cosmetic factors?

If vampire is OP then that's a separate argument to be addressed through stats and mechanics rather than through appearances, surely.

There are no RP leader boards, last I checked.

There are trials leader boards though.

It seems like gameplay is important in this role playing GAME after all...

Nice that you think that you can speak for people you can't say if it effects people or not ! Tbh I've wasted more time than needed on a pointless thread when there are already mechanics in the game to solve the issue

It's been asked several times how exactly it'd affect you guys but for some reason there are no answers.

Because I would know that Zos gave in to some forum users ( was going to use something harsher but it would get deleted ) that made a conscious choice to become a vampire know that it would have a negative visual effect, so if zos give into these forum users then we are on to a slippery slope of what will be next , as many have pointed out there are mechanics in the game to use .
Best idea would be to get rid of vampire and werewolf that would solve all these threads

You avoided answering the question again.

So many snowflakes these days, sheesh.
Pathetic.

Vampirism is a mandatory endgame buff that makes yoir character ugly.

In an MMO, looking cool is half the fun. Vampirism ruins that fun.

Illusion magic to hide your appearance (including vampirism) is common in TES lore. There is no reason why it shouldn't be available in this game (NPCs use it all the time).

All contra arguments in this thread are based on "I don't want you to be happy because your happiness makes me less happy.".

Wrong.

Being a Vampire has penalties, for most Vampires in Elder Scrolls part of that is how they look.

Choose to be Vamp? Live with looking like a corpse.

I don't want to look like a corpse, so I have never turned into a Vamp.

The consequence of that choice is that I suffer an effective penalty to resource regen - my choice, you'll never hear me complain about it.

My argument is choices have consequences, stop being a snowflake and live with it.


All The Best

Seriously? Forcing players to put on shiny skins if they don't wanna look like a corpse is an appropriate penalty for you? I'd understand if hiding vampirism was prevented completely but that is obviously not intended.
Again, what exactly would the disadvantage for you personally be if the vampire look was a toggle? If there is none, your answer should be "I don't want you to be happy because your happiness makes me less happy."
There are real meaningful penalties to being a vampire. Not being able to hide is not one of them.

lul okay. What a waste of time talking to you was.

Again that was your choice no one forced YOU just like no one forced YOU to look ugly , but you have a great day as I said wasted more time on a pointless thread and chatting to you

Uniformed decisions don't qualify as free choice. How could I have known you'd come up with such bs? Anyway, even though you fooled me there, I never said it wasn't my fault.
