Wrong.
Being a Vampire has penalties, for most Vampires in Elder Scrolls part of that is how they look.
Choose to be Vamp? Live with looking like a corpse.
I don't want to look like a corpse, so I have never turned into a Vamp.
The consequence of that choice is that I suffer an effective penalty to resource regen - my choice, you'll never hear me complain about it.
My argument is choices have consequences, stop being a snowflake and live with it.
All The Best
Seriously? Forcing players to put on shiny skins if they don't wanna look like a corpse is an appropriate penalty for you? I'd understand if hiding vampirism was prevented completely but that is obviously not intended.
Again, what exactly would the disadvantage for you personally be if the vampire look was a toggle? If there is none, your answer should be "I don't want you to be happy because your happiness makes me less happy."
There are real meaningful penalties to being a vampire. Not being able to hide is not one of them.
Because it clearly seems that this is a cosmetic issue then and should put a option to hide vamp in the crown store between 2500 - 5000 crowns that way keeps everyone happy
Possibly. Personally I don't care if they make it a toggle or not and if it's through crown store or not. But that's my whole point. It doesn't affect me so I don't care. And so should you.
Nice that you think that you can speak for people you can't say if it effects people or not ! Tbh I've wasted more time than needed on a pointless thread when there are already mechanics in the game to solve the issue
It's been asked several times how exactly it'd affect you guys but for some reason there are no answers.
Because I would know that Zos gave in to some forum users ( was going to use something harsher but it would get deleted ) that made a conscious choice to become a vampire know that it would have a negative visual effect, so if zos give into these forum users then we are on to a slippery slope of what will be next , as many have pointed out there are mechanics in the game to use .
Best idea would be to get rid of vampire and werewolf that would solve all these threads
lul okay. What a waste of time talking to you was.
Again that was your choice no one forced YOU just like no one forced YOU to look ugly , but you have a great day as I said wasted more time on a pointless thread and chatting to you
Uniformed decisions don't qualify as free choice. How could I have known you'd come up with such bs? Anyway, even though you fooled me there, I never said it wasn't my fault.

There's literally no excuse not to let vampires hide their vampirism. play as you want extends beyond skills alone.
Depends on the strain of Vampirism. Skyrim vampires are only weakened in sunlight, for example.

this is tamriel, multiple strains of vampirism exist in it and the strain we are in eso can survive in sunlight

You vamps keep referring lore that vamps can disguise themselves. Well the lore also says vampire dies in sunlight. ESO already plays nice and let you live in day light but no you want everything nice plus the power without any drawbacks. That seems greedy to me.
Dont quote lore when you fail to state that there is different strains of vamprism
Let me spelll it out for you. ESO created strains to specifically let you live in daylight.
Let me spell it out for you. Reference Oblivion and Skyrim and you will see that two very different kinds of vampirism exist in the world of the Elder Scrolls (Skyrim vampires did not take damage in the sunlight, by the way). ESO did not create anything that had not already been created before as it pertains to how vampirism in Tamriel works. Why lie about something that's so easy to disprove? It's a pretty braindead arguing tactic.
Edit: Also amazingly ironic that you misspelled the word "spell"
Last I heard ESO is a separate game development. The decision is theirs. I stand by what I said.
Personal attack? "Look in the mirror, vampire, do you hate what you see?" LOL

If pointing out spelling errors is a personal attack, you must have felt pretty victimized in grade school.
Anyway, nice attempted diversion from the fact that you still don't have a counter argument. Separate development teams - yes. Separate lore? No. They draw from the same lore because the games all take place in a connected universe. Feel free to stand by the factual inaccuracy of what you said, I can't stop you there. But anyone with half a brain knows you're wrong.
(p.s. vampires don't have reflections sooo)

eso is canon to the elder scrolls series and you just want to ignore that just to suit your arguement
If you want to draw in older games like Oblivion and Skyrim then tell me did those vampires disguise themselves?
Oblivion strain of vamparism can disguise themselves to stay hidden that's to clavicus vile. Skyrim there was a vampire that blended in nicely to the population

But no one forces you to compete for places on those boards.
You CHOOSE to.
And because you need that extra 10% to be able to make it with the big boys you CHOOSE to be a Vampire.
And in doing that you CHOOSE to be ugly.
You can, at any time you are fed up with looking like a corpse CHOOSE to hide with a Costume or CHOOSE to cure Vampirism.
ZoS have already given you at least two ways of not being ugly, why waste Developer resources on giving you a third so you can whine about that not being perfect as well?

You most likely are causing some to resist your requests because some of you make it seem like you are asking to look normal and retain your passives, a sort of 'best of both worlds' situation.
Which is great of course, but not very fair now is it?
As youre aware, us wolfies can disguise ourselves very well amongst the general public. Which I assume is your goal as well? But the issue is, we dont get our passives unless in wolf form.
If you truly want to be like us wolfies, and be able to hide your umm.. 'blessing' while out and about, what you should be requesting is for vamp form to be an ultimate. A few of your own have actually suggested such, though in the form of a 'toggle' switch. Your ultimate can be the toggle, just as it is with werewolf. And of course, as with the wolfies, your passives will only be active when in form.
This seems like a fair compromise for all, except maybe to those who wish to look like a vampire all the time. Perhaps a skin could be supplied to them to achieve this.
Anyway, I think it would be pretty cool to be in a pvp or dueling situation with another player, when suddenly at some point in the battle he unexpectedly 'vamps out' on you. Talk about a cool 'oh ****' moment
This said, the only thing I will agree with vamps about, is I too dont get why their skin markings and tattoos dont show properly. This to me makes little sense, and I wouldnt mind seeing this corrected.

It has already been stated there are means to hide the appearance already. I have yet to hear a justification that the currently plentiful means is not sufficient. It seems like some people are anti this for the sake of being anti.
Those are extremely limited customization options:
1. Skins still hide your character's actual appearwnce
2. Disguises hide your gear
Try again.
It seems more that you can try again. I am not the one with any issues. I not the one demanding change because I do not like the design Zos implemented.
Enjoy the game.
You're engaging in an argument about something you have no argument against.
Sure, let's hide werewolves too.

Lets spell it out a bit more black and white, shall we?
- You're not going to unsub for something so trivial (and yes, 10% regen *is* trivial. Its not required to succeed. The game was not engineered around requiring players to be vampires in order to complete content on any difficulty.)
- If you're not going to unsub, Z0$ has no reason to care
Moving on...
