Remove blood scion appearance from new base ultimate.

As title says, id like to have an option to still exists as much as i can like the current vampire is in appearance. This has NOTHING to do with efficiency, damage or whatever performance thing there is. Simply appearance thing..

Well the base ultimate as i like it to be, might have some mechanic implication if changed how i want, but feel free to add opinions about tht.

What id like to have, is the oldstyle bat swarm as base ultimate. Maybe just like the base ultimate fo vampires is now. Plain and simple bat swarm without the blood scion appearance.

My reasoning for thgis is, that as a vampire, i do like to be able to have some special powers like having bats on my control. To summon bat swarm to aid me in battle, but i DO NOT WANT to be an epic allmighty vampire lord/Blood scion in appearance. So that is why id like the base ultimate to have just an old style bat swarm without the blood scion. The blood scion in my opinion, should be an upgrade to the base ultimate, not a default appearance of ultimate. In general, i also greatly dislike all kinds of transformations but if other like it, im all for them having it as long as others have options to choose othervise.

If you are Necromancer, you do have lots of other ultimates that fit that class very well, but vampire is just one skill line and other classes dont have suitable alternatives. NB has some, but then you are locked on that class.

So i do not think it is unreasonable to ask that the base ultimate remains as it is now. Simple bat swar. No devouring or clouding, just that plain simple batswarm like the base ultimate i s now. Most player would want to morph that anyways, so then that morph would give even more to them that it does now. It would feel bigger step upwards in vampire ranks to get that blood scion on morph to get even more powerful vampire, let those who choose to stay on base ultimate not be blood scions, and be lower in vampire ranks.

Should not b that hardm would not impact mst player because almost everyone just morphs the ultimate to get better performance out of it and requires very litle development as that ultimate allready exists, just needs some numbe tweaking.

And most importantly, would give us who are minority, an option to be as the vampire appears now in mostly cosmetic terms. Cosmetics are extremely important for some of us who RP the characters all the time.

    I agree, i hate the look. It's a lazy re-skin of necro and the design looks cartoony; like it came from WoW or something.

    Agree that it doesn't look good, but I can also guarantee you it's not going to change.

    Well im not really about it looking good or bad, though some pictures i have seen are not that nice but still, people who like the idea of blood scion as an transformation SHOULD have it but as a morphs of the base ultimate so that people like me can still have the batswarm as it is in appearance WITHOUT the bloodscion added.

    In just the base ultimate that is. I am not speaking of morphs here.

    I and i guess some smaller portion of other players, would just love to keep our vampire as they are in appearance. In cosmetic terms, and having an option to have abilities that look the same will do this. Drain is still there and mist form is still there. Batswarm is missinbg and they would give us an opportunity to keep that as well, if the new vampire base ultimate would only give old style batswarm as the base ultimate is now.

    Things i ask here, are purely cosmetic but really important to some player in my opinion
    Minority yes, but its such a small thing to ask when base ultimate is only thing affected, that it should be given to us.

    I agree, that there are also mechanical issues on the new vampire skill line, but they are not as large concern to me as the cosmetic stuff i explained here. I can usually make these things work for me whenever they are tweaked, but if the animations or other cosmetic stuff is wrong, that will stop me from using certain abilities or classes.

    Been nice if the base ultimate was bat swarm, one morph was Clouding Swarm, and the other was the Blood Scion.

    Even better, the line could have TWO ultimates, one is the one we already know, the other is the scion. Problem solved, everyone happy.

    So, basically, you want the old vampire back. They've already said that wasn't happening...

    When they use the word "macabre" to describe the new content, I giggle. They either need to go back to art-history class or stop creating content for 5 year olds.

    ... but I agree. Some indicator is needed to show that you are using ultimate for PVP reasons (maybe like a ready, bloody aura) but the actual scion makes me want to stop being a vampire... and I have been a vampire for 4 years!

    Better yet make a condition controlled skin for us to apply that only works on a transformation to give us an alternate to the blood scion look.

    The same could be used for werewolf so you transform into the werewolf lord skin (from crown store) instead of the usual appearance.
