Vampire and Werewolves Extinct

Alyrn_Grey

it sounds like it may have been a bug that they where out every night. I was under the impression that werewolves are only supposed to spawn during the full moon and vampires the dark of the moon.

So I guess the "Vampires and Werewolf that 'give the bite' spawn locations have now been changed to 'random' locations did not make it into the patch notes."

I don't want to be a WW or Vamp, but I do want it to be easier for others to become them so I can stop seeing the bite spam! =p

I rarely seem bite requests haha - maybe it's faction based spam? I'd take that type of spam over the Gold Seller chat and mail spam, or people creating political flame wars spam.

But yeah, spawns have been strange lately, multiple guildmates have been having issues with finding anything.

WW/Vamp chatter is the most prominent topic in the high level areas. Day or Night.

Ive been to Riften three RL days in a row during night cycles and saw nothing close to a WW/Vamp. I would not be shocked if they had disabled it. But I wonder what their reason for not mentioning it would be.

I think this whole idea of WW & Vamps was badly thought out. There should have been 2 optional questlines leading up to getting bitten and they should be hard and long questlines. That way only those that really want those abilities would be able to get them.

Temporarily the system proper seems like a way to discourage *immediate* saturation, but for reasons that has been exploited and warped into a shady market.

Temporarily then, it seems self-sorting and practical to *maintain* *spawns* for the community to naturally acquire more infections and level the spread (increasing spawns seems unwise even as countermeasure) across griefers and trolls inhibiting and selling them.

Yet. They no longer spawn for about a week now.

Zenimax, it seems truly wise to address such a broad issue (along with many chief issues like chat delay, main story veteran progression, etc.) with haste.

Wrong mobs. Only special mobs in the 35+ zones of each faction will infect you.

AD EU just had another ww spawn. no bloodfiends in between.

heneo

Another ww spawn this afternoon on EU.

This is just pathetic.

More evidence of how MMO players and MMO companies are fuell a system where rubbish players get what they want when they want it and only have to try a bit.

Some things should take time and effort , months of gameplay and if someone is in your spot get creative in game, get better, delay gratification.

Players should be allowed as much freedom as possible to shape a virtual world not as much freedom as possible to whine to developers to make things easy and simplistic.

On the EU server, in the rift, last night I was a guy selling a werewolf bite for 35k.. only.. like so.. cheap.. not. Now I realise he was obviously a ZO employee.. he's cornered the market.

You could have cornered the market by researching the game and making different choices. Me too mentality is fine but dont start making corruption allegations you can't substantiate.

There "may" be some tweaks to spawns there "may" not be but unless they are in patch notes probably not.

Make some gold and buy what you want. take screenshots of the deal so you can at least get the player that doesnt bite you suspended if they dont bite you. until then stop whining and accusing others of wrongdoing.

They obviously can't permanently get rid of the ability for NPCs to infect you, but it would be nice if we had an official explanation of why bloodfiends have disappeared. The only effect it is having is increasing the amount of people selling bites, because the supply/demand is even more insane now.

I have been checking every night cycle in game for the past four real life days, and nothing is spawning - This is a very poor game mechanic, and honestly making me annoyed more than not - I feel as if I want to experience this part of the game, I must waste time camping spawns for a chance that some groups don't grief kill the mobs...

Fix how this is implemented DEVs... PLEASE!

The original implementation wasn't too poor. With phasing, there simply wasn't enough people camping to keep everyone from getting infected - just certain phases where the campers grouped up. Over time, enough people would have been infected to lessen demand to the point that the campers would have lost incentive to continue camping.

As of now, it seems that the spawns themselves are either bugged or have been disabled.

Tendeep

Oh yeah, forgot to say BUMP for an official response, the way this is implemented in game now is HORRIBLE...

Faolanhart

I have been trying every night since I hit the Rift, so this would be the 4th night.
Not only have I not seen anything but I haven't heard of anybody else seeing a werewolf or vampire.
I'm planning on biting people for free if I ever get infected but right now that doesn't seem to be any time soon.
Given the fact that 90% of the bugs in this game have something to do with spawns it wouldn't surprise me if it's bugged.

I've said it must be a hundred times now on here and in game chat, while having flu (which lasted the better part of two weeks) I could pretty much do nothing but zombie out in front of my TV on the couch. I have my PC linked upto my 55 inch plasma which I use as my main display.

As it wasn't too taxing each day from 9am until midnight I was in Riften every night cycle wandering around looking for the vamp mob, it was a nice distraction from feeling like crap. I witnessed one spawn of WW during that time and no vamps what so ever.

I go the WW bite (as it was there and I was starting to have my doubts about vamps ever showing) and realized it would be better with a better build (other than a mage) so I cured it.

Just before I fell with the flu and started this crusade for the ESO mob std, there was a post I remember reading the day before stating the camping of spawn points and monopolizing of selling the bites would be looked into.

I think they did indeed turn off vamps.

I gave up waiting and brought mine for a Nightblade Toon I was toying with (my mage got bugged with a player ww bite I couldn't remove after taking the cure for npc). I will however by giving my bite (to a guild mate please do not message me like people have done before) once I am lvl 6 (currently nearing 5) for free.

This is the issue with the spawns disappearing. It will just further spread the selling of bites.

With the spawns being gone now - all I see every day is Want to buy this bite, want to buy that bite, scammers galore, etc.

Can we get an official response to this mess please!?

Not everyone selling a bite is a scammer.

It will, but that's the point. If you want to combat sellers and put a stop to them you have to keep the reason they are selling in place to keep them active.

That's my opinion in regard to justification anyway for stopping the spawn after the complaints became very vocal. If anyone can come up with a better line of logic in why the vamp spawns have stopped ( and I won't accept it's just bugged after all this time), be my guest.

this just makes it easier for players. to exploit others with high priced bites,i disagree with this move.

Vikova

Whether it was disabled intentionally or whether there is some kind of bug, all we really want is an official answer on it.

Well i'm not saying I agree, just that I get the logic behind it.

How would I deal with the spawn complaint issue, hmm see if I put something in a game that was cool for people, and then people started fecking it up for others intentionally, well then i'd take it away all together.

That's why I don't make games though I guess ;p.

People are d1cks.

While it is possible they intentionally disabled it, they certainly wouldn't do it just to be jerks.

Also the spawn was at Willowgrove Wayshrine and was just before dawn.

Can anyone else confirm that they saw a spawn? This is the first claim of a sighting I've seen since 4/8

stylernaku

Yeah i'm also dubious. See problem is, this topic is such a tasty bite for trolls, it's hard to have any truth about it. I'll ask the guild later I guess.

It's no skin of my nose now anyway I've got a vamp on the go.

Vikova

For those that are also frustrated with this issue, don't forget to leave /feedback in-game and email support about it until we can an answer.

Luthien_Elfmaid

It is true, I also thought the person who claimed they had spawned while I was at the dune wayshrine was telling porkies or taking the ***.

I thought stuff it will have a look and yep just before dawn they had started to spawn. I almost ruined it for others as I forgot I had my minions, sent them away and then got infected. I was making my way back to town to start the quest to get turned when I found 2 more and was able to help 4 others get infected. Sadly as dawn hit and the blood fiends disappeared.

Luthien_Elfmaid

image of my character getting quest. sorry in the fight not to die and excitment from trying to help others get the spawn I failed to get a screen shot but did get one from my character getting the quest.
