✭✭✭✭✭Yes.As a roleplayer I find having my vampire turn completely hideous every 20 minutes to be really annoying. I would gladly spend a skill point to be able to maintain the APPEARANCE of stage one for a full hour even if the mechanics moved forward and my vampire took the disads of the other stages on the usual schedule.PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!6 -
ItsMeToo✭✭✭✭✭Yes.I think 21 minutes would be great. LOL
I stay at stage 4, because I look sooooo cute at stage 4. LOLFYI - 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?

nerevarine1138✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭No.If anything, I'd like more social consequences for being a vampire, which could be accompanied by a longer time in the earlier stages to avoid constant feeding.
But being a Stage 4 vampire should carry consequences. You should look ugly. You should be shunned by society at large. You should not be able to enter a town of normal without being attacked by angry mobs (although I appreciate that this would be almost unthinkable in an MMO, so I'll settle for vendors refusing to do business with you). Right now, there's no reason to not be a Stage 4 vampire, so if the appearance gives at least some players a little pause, I'll take it.----

I agree there should be more social consequences, but I think the duration of the stages seems a bit truncated. I'd prefer the consequences but something like a day between each stage.NA MegaServer

zdkazz✭✭✭✭No.I think max stage vamps should be flagged for pvp at all times even in pve world, there are to many advantages to being a vamp and no real downsides, twilights set and vamp super sneak anyone?6

JessieColt✭✭✭✭Until, and unless, they stick an avatars face on the back of their head so that I, the player, have to look at it, then I personally do not care what my Vampire looks like at each various stage.
If others have a problem with how he looks, then they can turn away

Well, when I say "longer than 20 minutes" I'd frankly be happy with just a full hour like the other stages. "Longer than 20 minutes" does NOT mean "indefinitely." The mechanics could (and should) still move forward. And by stage 3 and 4 guards should be attacking you and townspeople should be screaming and fleeing in terror. However, even if you COULD look like a stage 1 vamp indefinitely, by stages 3 and 4 you should be putting off such an awful "WRONG!" vibe that people would still KNOW you were a monster instinctively and react accordingly. I don't want to make it EASIER to play a vamp...I want to make it more FUN...which IS harder in some cases!

that would be cool, some vinders however should stay(few and far between so we dont shut them out entirely in daggerfall the shady merchants would still deal with you even if you were a vamp) this should also happen for werewolfs if they change in town they are hunted down by gaurdsMornaBaine wrote: »nerevarine1138 wrote: »If anything, I'd like more social consequences for being a vampire, which could be accompanied by a longer time in the earlier stages to avoid constant feeding.

✭✭✭✭✭Yes.Your appearance is how I identify you.
Leave it as is.
But why should you have that automatic advantage? As to game mechanics, the vampire skill line is the same as any other. You don't get to know what build a mage or NB is using until you experience it in combat. Yet with a vamp, you automatically know to whip out the fire damage. How is that fair?

Not if the helmet I need to use does not completely cover the face.

Sord✭✭✭I think and seems reasonable that in all most lore of vampires that they only need to feed once a day and if they don't they are weakened. I think it is kind of crazy that every 30 minutes one has to feed, it should be once every 3 hours and maybe accelerated during the game day time. Just a thought.www.fateslegacy.com Share your build or find a build here at Fate's Legacy!

There should be consequences and you should be KOS to guards if you are at stage 4. It would be cool if they implemented that in the justice system.nerevarine1138 wrote: »If anything, I'd like more social consequences for being a vampire, which could be accompanied by a longer time in the earlier stages to avoid constant feeding.

I totally hope they do this kind of thing in the future. Stage 4 vamps SHOULD have the guards out after them and stage 3 should at LEAST have people acting VERY WARY around them. Maybe the guards would even warn them to get the heck outta town. LOL But either Stage1 itself needs to last a full hour OR the *appearance* of Stage 1 should have an option for you to have it "stay up" through stage 2 and 3.PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!1 -
aipex8_ESO✭✭✭✭✭Yes.As a vamp that tries to remain stage 1, yes! I would love longer stages. I would prefer full day stages, but even doubling the current time would be sufficient. I also agree that stage 4 should incur a bounty when the justice system comes out.2

Vizier✭✭✭✭✭
✭Yes.Shouldn't have to feed to maintain stage one every 20 minutes. Make it once a day, once every couple days and have the stages rollover every 24 hours after. Makes the most sense to me. If a person prefers stage 1 they are constantly needing to feed and that's just a PITA if you ask me.0 -
Teiji✭✭✭✭✭Yes.Costume / Item - "Vampires guile" [name subject to change]
This item is only usable by vampires, upon use, said item hides the appearance of vampirism through clever use of magicka, specifically of the illusion school equation, so that vampires may better blend into society, walk among the living and even in some cases, lead normal lives.
In some rare circumstances, this may lead to role-play with vampires where the vampires are not immediately acknowledged as the undead, as opposed to currently where they are acknowledged as vampires from over 100 view distance range."Serving Boethiah is Freedom, embracing heroism is Liberty, existing solely for noxiphilic sanguivoria is truth." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Elf_Boy✭✭✭No.We all choose to become a vampire, right? Even if we get bit by the right random mob, we choose to be cured or not be cured, to do the quest or not do the quest.
This is just one consequence of being a vampire. You get the nifty bonus to fire damage taken, and, you get the scary, scarier, scariest and OMG it's going to eat me look.
We get a few paltry buffs too, right?

A great post.
Within the fantasy universe of Elder Scrolls, there are various schools of magic, one such school is the Illusion school of magic.
This is further evidenced that it exists, through quests within The Elder Scrolls Online where your character and in some instances, NPC's will be subject to magicka which has altered their appearance, in some cases this is subtle whilst others, extreme.
In order to better role-play the choices of our character(s), good and bad. We should be provided with simple tools, which definitely exist within the Elder Scrolls universe. A costume or item for vampires, which allows their prowess of the illusion magic to be evident by appearing as if they are not of the infinitely beautiful undead.

✭No.I honestly don't care cause i love killing vamps. But, they could easily just add another passive skill locking your appearance at level 1 but that could possibly be OP in PvP due to the fact that vamp hunters will have a harder time scouting you out.0 -

✭Yes.I suppose it's just one of the downsides.
It makes me sad though, besides being hideous, my eyes are no longer blue, and my calico pattern is barely visible.
God forbid I strip, the bright white my fur has become is blinding.
Another thing, I am wearing a breton light helm right now, it has a face mask. (Which helps cover up the ugly thing) my fangs actually stick out from beneath the veil. wtfDear Sister, I do not spread rumors, I create them.0 -

And while this is a perfectly plausible reason to have such an item/ability......when every single player uses it it becomes not so plausible. What, every single vampire has some kind of illusion skill? I think not.
It's rather like everyone and their brother being a vampire in the first place, regardless of RP reasons or just "gotta have the best" uber leet reasons. Those players have already figured out a way to almost completely nullify the weakness to fire...and now some want to get rid of the cosmetic drawbacks?
No. I don't care what reasons or logic you come up with...it's still no. Matter of fact, there needs to be more drawbacks to being a monster.I am not spending a single penny on the game until changes are made to the game that I want to see.
1) Remove having to be in a guild to sell items to other players at a kiosk.
2) Cosmetic modding for armor and clothing.
3) Difficulty slider.
4) Fully customizable player housing that isn't tied to anything in the game other than having the correct resources and enough gold to build. Don't tie it to PvP, guild membership, or anything at all. Oh, make it instanced so as not to take up world map space, too. Zeni screwed this one up already.
Any /one/ of these things implemented would get me spending again, maybe even subbing.2
