Vampire Blood Drain animation

It's just a personal thing, but to me it would look so much more exciting to have your vamp actually latch onto someone's neck instead of standing back sucking blood in by the gallon from 4 feet away. =D Of course, if your victim is in heavy armor this would make things more, er, problematic.

✭✭The tech has been developed now for it, hell why not make it so if you max out the Savage Feeding perk it works like a Blade of Woe execute? Then people would actually put points in that otherwise useless perk!Edited by ParaNostram on August 23, 2017 3:44AM"Your mistake is you begged for your life, not for mercy.

✭Instead of a weird blood funnel, how about when you feed, either to turn a player or feed on am enemy/npc, you should use your preternatural vampire speed to lunge at your prey (think the charge attack from the 2h skill line or the werewolf pounce attack) as you latch on to your preys neck and feed.5 -

Exactly! When you do that BoW attack where you grab them from behind and go to town with your dagger....that would work well (minus the stabbing part). Hopefully devs will consider this. ha ha I stay at stage 4, but if they changed that animation I'd sooooo tempted to feed all the time.1 -

If you're attacking an npc or mob sure. Could always use more gore.3 -

That, too! When turning a fellow player I'd love to latch fast onto their neck. ESO really should this.

buttaface✭✭✭✭✭There's a reason why games don't... and won't... have what you all are requesting, and it has nothing to do with children playing.
It's political, and that's all I'll say.

✭Except we had traditional vampire feeding in Skyrim. Nothing suggestive about it. Looked like it was taken directly out of Dracula. Saying it has anything to do with politics or whatever is silly. If anything I would say it's graphical limitations. I mean, we can't even climb ladders. Or climb in general. But that's every ES game.3 -

They have actual vampire feeding in the Sims 4, which is rated T. This is absolutely not an issue.There's a reason why games don't... and won't... have what you all are requesting, and it has nothing to do with children playing.

Name some mainstream MMORPGs with nonconsensual touching/sexual overtone mechanics in them. I'll wait. And you sure won't find one issuing from anywhere near nanny culture LW bastion Baltimore, Maryland. There's a reason vampire feeding in this game is done at arm's length with a ribbon of blood instead of directly, and there is a reason there are no children in the game. That reason is political correctness.
But adding "absolutely" to your response made your argument more convincing. LOL.

Idk, I slapped quite a few people across the face with a fish in LotRO. That's as nonconsensual as you can get.0 -

There is an easy way to disable this though, using the Vampire's Woe addon.I hate when you think your Blade of Woeing and you start sucking blood... then 10 minutes of mist spamming to get back to level 4 so I can sneak in real speed... also that bounty...
You can suppress the feed synergy so that it is a toggle.1 -

The fact that it's an MMO is irrelevant. The game is rated M, meaning the type of content you're referring to is to be expected. The vampire bites in Sims 4, a rated T game, are mainly nonconsensual. While vampire bites are intimate in nature, they are not inherently sexual. Meaning there are no undertones of sexual assault unless it's written that way into a storyline. Vampires are undead monsters and the things they do are widely understood to be monsterous.They have actual vampire feeding in the Sims 4, which is rated T. This is absolutely not an issue.

My argument doesn't necessarily need to be convincing because there really isn't one to be had. You're just flat out wrong and I doubt you're going to admit that either way after looking at this nonsense about some political agenda. There is no social stigma against vampire bites.

buttaface✭✭✭✭✭The fact that it's an MMO is irrelevant.
No, it is not, and I shouldn't have to explain to you why. Multiplayer games allow 1. players to be offended by the actions of other players, 2. players to troll and intentionally offend other players. Connect the dots from there.The game is rated M, meaning the type of content you're referring to is to be expected.
Yet it doesn't exist, and in lots more ways than vampire biting. We have become a culture where it is perfectly fine to commit the vilest, dismembering mayhem in games, but even the -suggestion- of some offensive sexual contact? Oh heavens no.The vampire bites in Sims 4...
1. Already dealt with. 2. You are failing to grasp the distinction between single player games and MMOs. 3. You are hung up on "ratings" which are essentially meaningless things that insurance companies and legal counsel require, not dispositive of what -cultural- or -social- elements will be allowed into the game due to political and customer service/complaint reasons.
But you know what, will just cut to the chase. If ANY big mainstream U.S. MMO title, including this one, EVER allows nonconsensual sexually suggestive physical contact, vampire bites or other, I'll kiss your ass on national tv. I guess it's possible in Asian games where they aren't hidebound with our PC regressive culture. But it will never happen in this game.
I won't be kissing any ass any time soon.

✭✭I would like to see fangs and neck feeding. I'm guessing its an issue with height and coding someone mentioned this on a thread I made about this I believe
They would have to model it so the vampire would be able to feed at the right height and with races with different height settings it would be difficult. They could do the vampire the masquerade thing and have you jump onto the person and wrap legs around them and bite in neck. But they went with the ranged feeding for a reason.PC NA
Please add Fangs to Vampires.1 -

✭✭✭✭@buttaface I'll hop onto my overweight male orc in absolutely nothing but a black speedo, dance redguard complete with rear shaking and hips swaying, then coat you in "mud" and there isn't crap for consent there. Go RP in the Withered Tree for an hour and count mudballs and naked unsolicited lapdances.
I really don't think a vamp bite is excessive or even worthy of your concern. Not like I can bite players unless they come to the shrine anyway.4 -

This. That aspect is utterly consensual. Any non-consensual bite attacks may only be performed on npc's.1
