Should Vampires Actually Bite During Feeding?

Anyone else in favor of a new vampire animation where they actually bite their victims, instead of sucking blood out from like 5 feet away?

Yes, please! Vampires should definitely bite, not slurp from across the room!

    I feel as though we could still maintain the range for this attack as well, by having the player simply rush to their victim's side from afar when they go in for the bite.

    Yes, and a seduction spell to be able to feed off friendly NPCs would be nice too.

    They should, but I understand why they don't. It is an awkward animation, especially if the target is armored.

    Atm,the feed animation reminds me of Legacy of Kain (Soul Reaver).

    And their method does have some precedence....this is Bill feeding in True Blood:

    It kinda does make sense.

    You can also, you know, stand right next to each other when you do it.

    While it reminds me of Legacy of Kain and does have it's charms I feel it should be a toggle you can select.

    A new skill tree for neck biting. I made a feedback report for this during early access.
    FYI - There is no such thing as 'night capping' in a world wide MMO.
    FYI - There was no paid Beta. When they launched the game the Beta was over, even if you don't think it was.
    FYI - It's B2P not F2P. There is a difference.
    FYI - It doesn't take any player skill to mash keys or buttons in this game. The ones that stay alive longer have the better internet connection and speed.
    FYI - The game is not broken, it still works. It just has 'bugs' that need to be fixed.
    Balance is a "Bad" thing.

    Example: There were hundreds of Jedi and only two Sith in Star Wars. The Jedi wanted, "Balance in the Force" and they got it. Now there are only two Jedi and two Sith.

    Balance is a "Bad" thing.
    Is the glass half full or half empty?
    I say, "Get a smaller glass."

    This.

    Not really. You could show the vampire biting the neck area and it would be completely fine. To be honest I find the current animation slightly disgusting.
    A short leap and a bite would do much better.

    I'm just upset I didn't get the name Kain so I could feed like him.

    I think so too...thats part of the reason I still like it =)

    Vampires are supposed to be gross creatures. They are monsters after all.
