Vampire skill line re-work & existing vampire characters

bearbelly

How is the re-work going to affect a character that is currently in the process of leveling the skill line (e.g., level 6)?
Will that progress be wiped-out in favor of its new matrix?
Or would your progress simply transfer to the re-vamped (sorry) skill line at the same level you've already attained on the current iteration of the skill line?

How did it work for werewolves when that skill line was re-worked? (I started playing right after Wolfhunter dropped, so I didn't go through that process.)

RefLiberty

Well we don't know.

We watched the Vegas presentation.
They did not explain
No one asked
That is it.

If you don’t max out your Vampirism before the patch goes live, your character gets deleted.

Chances are if you're a level 6 Vampire now, when the rework occurs you'll still be a level 6 Vampire. Your skill points will be removed from the skill line and ready for you to reuse as you want.

Likely the 1 to 10 leveling of the vampire skill line won't change at all.

It's feeding and abilities which are changing / being added.

The xp for existing abilities might carry over if they or something like them is in the new version. But at max level, you can level any ability from 0 to max very quickly. So it wouldn't be much of a loss anyway.

Normally when they rework a skill line, your overall progress in that skill line is retained. However, you may have to level up specific skills all over again.

Anyone know if this rework was announced for Q1 or is it Q2, I’m not sure if they didn’t say anything or I just missed it?

For the werewolf alterations the levelling didn’t change so if you were level...let’s say 3 in werewolf then afterwards you were still level 3.
Skills and passives will be wiped and skill points reimbursed at most.

It's due for U26 (Chapter) Q2.

How do you even know that, this is just fake news.

I think RefLiberty sums up what we know for now, which is we don't know.

Your mind tricks won't work on me, Chonk.

This is what I was kind of expecting (hoping) will happen. Level stays the same, but skills get wiped (obviously, since the skills are changing).
Not that it's a huge deal, regardless of what happens. It's easy enough to re-level the line. I was just curious.

Thanks for the input, folks.
(even Chunky.)
