But case in point people case in point, refer to my previous post and then back to Ice... Exhibit A.
SMH... noobs, noobs everywhere going crazy for easy kills when any good players have stopped using it since we prefer our XP to be earned legit and through skill.
Hehe no.
I'm old school, like the old vamp books and movies. Remember the one where one vamp breaks of his fingers that becomes small demons?
Vamps today however... in so many crap movies are no longer psychopaths. They are simply glittery more powerful humans in so many movies.
In this game however, you see so many cute girls running around, doing quests, helping others. Thus, they are in this game glittery cute wanna be cool vamps but lacks the balls to go for it. They do not follow the old school mo, they follow the glittery cute mo.
If you have done the Vamp quest you would never associate them with Twilight-type Vamps nor if you are familiar with the lore of Vamps throughout ES games.
Yes the more old school ones FTW... however this is much more along those lines. In lore, I prefer Werewolves to Vamps.. but I really like the lore of Vamps in Elder Scrolls. It's dark, it's not good or bad necessarily --- it can be either, both, or neither. It leaves a lot of room for interpretation however it is anything but glittery. As someone who is not usually a fan of Vamps (except for the classics and a few unique pieces) I admit they are pretty cool in Elder Scrolls. Not to mention he blood all around your lower face after feeding is a nice touch by ZOS.
I've not done the quest for vamp. I decided I wanted to hunt them down instead. Perhaps that's the only old school vampire content there is, sounds cool to do to see it all. However...
However, my point still stands.
In this game, judging from their behavior, I've only seen glittery vamps.
They are nearly all cute girls.
They think and act like human and agree with the agenda of all npc's that wants their help.
There is nothing about them that stands out in this game to those around them.
And my point still stands. If that's all you see is glittery vamps, it has me wondering just how exposed to Twilight you are on a regular basis. That is never what comes to mind when I hear of anything Vampire. And yes you haven't done the quest, the origins of Vampires in ESO are dark and brutal and defiant of Molag Bal.
I'd also rather see girls running around as vamps than guys. In fact I'd rather see only women running around, but hey... I only like women!

So you only approve ugly vampire dudes in game?
And what do you want us vampires to do? Instead of being helpful and do quests to level up, we should just level up by mindless mob grind, just because we should be ruthless vampires?
Why would I? I was remarking however on that so many players, probably guys, make cute girls. Make them vampires and then act all glittery but wants to be viewed in a different manner. That does not work out. By picking flowers, praying over someones grave you've never known, helping farmers and merchants etc in need instead of doing your own thing and taking their blood, you're on the side of the angels so to speak.
So no, you are not old school. Everyone I've seen are glittery. The game does sure not make it easy for someone to be old school vamp ether. Thus, everything points towards glittery vamps and I think you'll have to accept that in this game.1 -

Raash✭✭✭✭Its so funny! Isnt it alot like this with vampires in some movies aswell, they are full of overconfidence and hubris while people dont know how to handle and counter them? When finally the heroes get on to to them and start wiping them out they go all sour and bitter and even sometimes furious and just throws themselves into instant death, just like in cyrodil right now.
Its almost like a new song has made it into lands of cyrodil, silver bolts is the rythm, vampire death screams are the choir and broken and bitter people typing heartbreaking stories on the forum about how unfair life can be is the rap.

Isnt that the same for all the evel doers in every game? In the end they start a big lament... or flame war as they go down. See Molag, Diablo, Ragnaros etc.

Even with additional spell/fire resistance, Vampires are more prone to Fire damage than an average non-Vampire.
The effect cannot be nulled, due to the game mechanics.

Siluen✭✭✭✭I truely feel for the people that are in need of a skill that onehits others in PvP. Let me stick a bandaid on the ouchies you got from actually having to fight people under fair circumstances.
Want a kiss with that? I won't bite. Hard. 1 -
ThisOnePosts✭✭✭✭✭IceDread, you don't know what you're talking about. The only thing glittery I see in sight in ESO, is you. You are one glittery guy. Just read your own posts, really. Also, before you start talking about what you think you know... the Vamp quest will ensure you it's no Twilight vampire. However, now your Twilight fantasies have shown their hand in this thread here and there's no denying your obsession with that. No wonder you dislike ESO vamps, you like Twilight. Carry on. 0

✭They have to fix this now. I have so many guildies with vampire that cant PvP at the moment. Getting 1 shot by a level 20 is fun at VR12...
This is just as game breaker as the batswarm stacking really. That one took months to fix and the game lost a lot of PvP'ers. I know entire guilds that left. Now this, bleeding the player base even more. It's like they intentionally try to make people quit with game breaking bugs every single patch.
I do find it funny when people fire that tiny pea at me, does something like 80 dmg on a non-vamp. Seems people just spam that skill on everyone right now hoping for a free kill.

stumpy999✭✭✭8 pages of this, and it never happened for me. I eagerly jumped on and charged in with silver bolt magnum slayer of death. I didn't single shot anything. Even at a dolmen it was normal.
So was there a bug and I missed it or does it only affect certain folk?Edited by stumpy999 on June 27, 2014 2:33PM0 -

If you would have put some thought into your post you'd point out what makes me glittery, but you dont because you can't.
You have one line of vamp quests. Those might be dark or light, I've not yet tried them. But you need to try to think at least. One questline in a sea of quests where you behave like a hero most of the time and saves the damsels in distress that makes you a glittery girl.
Why are you not ok with it? You chose it, you did it, you know you're full of glitter and sparkles.
If you want me to change my view, you need to come up with some real arguments. Statistics points towards you being in total error.

o_0✭✭✭✭Any CLS combat log screenshots showing what each hit is doing damage wise? The combined damage total in the death recap isn't helpful in this regard.0

ForTheRealm✭✭✭
Hitting you 2 times isnt realy a 100% proc chance...
You asked for pic proof - you got!
You asked for pic proof with CLS log - you got it!
What can I say to you? I think nothing more than : stop trolling!
BTW: Tha last pic is with Silver Bolt (basic, not morphed version) and doing more than 2000 damage in single shot to V12?!

you are really obsessed with 'glittery vamps'. so what you're saying is that there can be only 2 types of vampires? either old school vampires and glittery ones? no other possible vampires that still got conscious but still need to feed on others to survive? (most of the times, it's trash mobs anyways).
vampires are make believes, they're not based on real things, so there can be all different types of vampires and it's all depends who tells/writes story.
full of glitter and sparkles, really... please screenshot of a vamp that full of glitter and sparkles and post it here please, maybe if you're lucky you could find one that shoots rainbow out of it's butt while helping an old lady across the street.
I obviously can't change your mind, since the twilight series are strongly imbedded on your brain, but you can call us sparkly vamps, and I'd call us day-walker super heroes, like Blade!0 -

The fun part is how much this upsets so many vampire players.
It's all about the self image you want to have and the image you want others to have about you / your character. You want it to be something in this game that it's simply not. And when others points it out, it really gets on your nerves.
Of course as you say anyone can invent / imagine what they want... but in this game, it's not there.

IceDread✭✭✭By the way, for those that do like old school vampires and were wolves, penny dreadful might be interesting. First season was good, a slight bit weird however most would say I recon but I liked it.Seems to me there are vampires of the classic term or rather too soft but that might be on the out side who knows yet.. also demonic vampires as well and were wolves that can turn at will. Oh and the witches...
and did you btw have a thing for Frankenstein? )
Hbo quality series I'd say. But dont expect simple hack and slash, this is, more.Edited by IceDread on June 30, 2014 8:41PM0 -
Did this ever get fixed? Was thinking about becoming a vamp but will have to skip over it if it means I can't play in Cyrodill.

✭Yeah, you can't one shot them anymore. It was good while it lasted though, even if for a very short time.
Been here since Feb 2014 - You'd think I'd be half reasonable at this game by now...0
