Werewolf: Quick eat that corpse before it.. oh nevermind

Alucardo · September 2015

I've been really happy with the changes ZOS have done to the WW lately, so been taking him out for a spin more often.. however, trying to devour corpses is painful. You dance around the body like an idiot trying to find the right position, but you're racing against time and the body respawning. Playing as a Werewolf feels too much like a race, and it increases blood levels to dangerously high levels. One of two things need to happen to comply with OH&S standards

1. Increase the timer, or reduce transformation costs. 400 Ultimate for a non Berserker/Pack Leader and 30 seconds of bugged feed positioning.
2. Fix the positioning when attempting to devour, and make it possible to chew on another corpse, even if it's only 20 god damn feet away from the other one you just ate.

Other than that, things are looking pretty good!

This has to be one of my bigger gripes left with the ww right now. It is like you are a surgeon trying to find just the right spot, and as you said with a timer shouting at you to GOGOGO it is only frustrating.

Heh, reminds me of a cat circling their pillow before laying down.. except they don't have a timer.

I was circling this sorcerer for so long tonight a party member messaged me and asked if I was trolling her and said it wasn't very nice. I'm like, I'M TRYING TO EAT HER

LOL! I haven't wolfed out since the patch -- I keep meaning to! -- but this sounds incredibly frustrating.

Oh, by the way, what about feeding at a shrine? Has that changed too? Imagine trying to give a bite and... nope. Though when I got mine in Reaper's (pre-patch) both I and the guy who bit me had to dance around quite a bit. I imagine he was spamming [X] like a madman as he ran around me. Is it even worse now?

Ever watched a dog trying to poop? There's often a little dance with much butt-wiggling and turning around.

Maybe you're .... evacuating your last meal while wolfing down the next.

Oh man, that's still broken too. Not only is the positioning way off (last person I bit yesterday I was about 5 feet away from their toes eating the dirt), but sometimes I have to jump in the river and swim out until the timer starts going down and come back before I can bite someone. For some reason it bugs out and you can't bite them until you do the above strategy.
When the X popped up I was a bit worried because there was a few people in the area, and I had no idea who I was actually about to bite the positioning was so off.

I find that leaving the shrine and letting the timer go down is the best work around for that bug. But ZOS really could make more than a few people happy improving feeding in general.

Teabagging is for losers. The best taunt in PvP is for a werewolf to eat the corpse of its victims.

Anyone think that werewolf gameplay mechanics are way too similar to....

Put your Werewolf into the slot
Embrace your cool infection
But devour quick your racing a clock
POP! Meal resurrection!

Either A.) this is a perfect way to outline how I feel when running as a ww, or B.) it shows how well I remember things, that game... that ad...

The feeding spot has gotten much harder to find since IC launched.

NBrookus · September 2015

Agreed. WW is too much about trying to stay in WW form and not enough about playing the crazy berzerker. Finding the devour spot is too picky now.
