Bloodfiends are back

MornaBaine · April 2014

Update: As of yesterday bloodfiends returned. I still maintain that they were broken for a time due to the fact that we have werewolves, then nothing, then werewolves again and it therefore appeared that the bloodfiend cycle had been skipped over. But they are back now and so long as the regular cycle doesn't get jacked up again I an satisfied and they can continue to ignore this post. LOL

I want to know RIGHT NOW, from Zenimax.... IS THIS STUPID MAINTENANCE GOING TO RESET THE BLOODFIEND SPAWN SO THAT BLOODFIENDS WILL NOT SPAWN FOR SEVERAL DAYS ....AGAIN???????????????????? I have SERIOUSLY about had it with this game. My theory (and I would LOVE for Zen to tell me if I'm right or wrong) is that every time they bring the servers down it resets the spawn cycles of the werewolves and bloodfiends. If so, this explains why there have been SEVERAL game nights of werewolf spawns, followed by several nights of NO spawns at all, followed by werewolf spawn again but NO BLOODFIENDS. I REALLY want an explanation from the company on this!

Gotta love ppl who demand stuff.

Veakoth · April 2014

You do realize that is not only way to get Vamp or Werewolf.
there is 3 different ways to get each.
But since you don't know how to google or converse in general, lets march zenimax employes down here to answer you question immediately.

3 ways ???.. im a Vampire myself i was bitten.. so thats 1 way..
2nd way is if a player bites someone (i have personally bitten someone)
3rd way ?? please do tell i dont know of it.

MornaBaine · April 2014

I understand WHY the servers are down. Yes I read the patch notes. Yes I agree they need to fix the bank stuff. What they do not seem to address is how/if this affects the bloodfiend spawn. And yes, I know players can infect other players once they have advanced sufficiently in the skill line. So that's TWO ways that I know of to become a vamp. If there is a third I would appreciate the information and a link to it. Thank you.

I suspect there is no third way and that was either a typo or he's blowing smoke.

LoL, rage on brother.

Hmmmm.... Let's say no.

trixsterjl_ESO · April 2014

This stuff just needs to be instanced or unkillable when up though.

I totally AM raging about this! And I don't care! I WILL QQ moar!!!! LOL Yeah yeah it's just a game and it's not the end of the world and "first world problems" yadda, yadda, yadda... But DAMN I am tired of this BS!!! Zenimax HAS to be aware that people are totally pissed off about this and it ain't just little 'ol me by a long shot. They NEED to say something about it. Silence is NOT golden in this case.

It needs to be its own quest just like in Skyrim. That way people who want to do it can and those who don't can just pass it by and PLAYERS cannot screw it up for other players by deliberately griefing the spawns. This "random" (ha!) spawning did NOT "make it special" it made it nightmarishly ANNOYING,

Destabilizator · April 2014

I feel for OP, after last patch the spawns got messed up, spawning in the middle of the cycle, werewolves during new moon - many ppl stopped believeing that there is any system anymore...

Auric_ESO · April 2014

Wow. This is just terrible. I hope you get you spawns back. You should ask for a refund if they don't answer soon

cazneerg_ESO · April 2014

I haven't reached the all caps level of raging, but the complaint is valid. Something is clearly not working as intended when it's been more than ten days since the bloodfiends spawned, and we had days of werewolves, followed by nothing, followed by werewolves, followed by nothing, followed by werewolves. Clearly the bloodfiend spawns are either broken entirely or are being skipped for some reason. Would it really take that much time or effort for ZOS to acknowledge that the problem exists and tell us whether it is due to maintenance resetting the cycle?

naatokb14_ESO · April 2014

The point is, this content was added to the game. It was announced pre-beta. It was anticipated by the player community. Many of us, role players or not, have developed character and guild concepts BASED upon this content.

Due to how the content was implemented, the frequent, unscheduled server maintenance restarts also reset the scheduling of the content, making HALF of it, for the most part, unavailable for the past two weeks. And yes, at least one person from our guild has been looking for the content at its known spawn locations every in-game night for the past two real life weeks. Half of the daedric curse diseases (lycanthropy/vampirism) has been unavailable from the spawned content during that time due to reboots mid or late in the content spawn cycle.

If ANY other game content were thus affected, you folks insulting my wife for posting her ire here would be the ones raging. You know you would. So shut it.

Thank you. That's exactly it. We deserve some sort of comment from the company on this issue. It's being completely ignored (my tickets on it have gone unaddressed as well) and I really don't understand why.

chimichi · April 2014

i am seriously annoyed by the issue too. I got my toon to reapers march last week and have been patrolling the spawn places for almost every night, i told others that looked for werewolves when they were up, and every night i hope that they will finally spawn and.... nothing. there have been at least 11 ww spawns on over 35 ingame nights, but no bloodfiends.

I want to get the disease from a bloodfiend. I have been looking so long, spend so many hours on that patrol... just

nikolaj.lemcheb16_ESO · April 2014

I am almost crying with frustration from 25 hours wasted spend waiting for a spawn. This is like bad old spawn camping in EQ and it WILL drive a lot of people away from the game. Me personally I will probably cancel my sub if I am not a vamp when the free month runs out.

Hyperventilate · April 2014

Wow. Such entitlement, I'm almost surprised.

Catsocks · April 2014

I love this thread and the random word capitalization.

Ziaka · April 2014

I have been wondering if the server resets are messing the blood fiend spawn as well. As someone who shares your frustration I really hope we hear something soon.

Surely it can't be that hard to make them spawn each night for a few real days to resolve all this frustration.

caspar33 · April 2014

I cant agree more, i been waiting for spawn for a week now, during this period i missed only 2 ingame night and still no bloodfiend spawn !!

fantor_ESO · April 2014

+1 for OP. This is total BS..:-(

kaithuzar · April 2014

IMO, yes everyone who paid money is "entitled" to the content of the game as described in the purchase. If Zenimax isn't able to "hold up their end of the deal"; many angry players may end up going elsewhere to game.

Censorious · April 2014

Ah! Diddums!

Hodorius · April 2014

There are legendary items in that game.
I paid for it so I demand a legendary set off rank 10 items and a donkey who craps gold.

Of course I could play the game like everyone else... but let´s not discuss about that!

I have no idea why... but it seems that everybody with realistic and reasonable demands includes that in some way, so here it is: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jenasy · April 2014

nerd rage time!

MornaBaine · April 2014

For the trolls... it's exactly the same as any other quest being broken. If it was one you were trying to do you'd be nerd raging all over the place. So shut it.

And I stillreally want the company to address this issue and at least tell us what is going on. This is a pretty simle customer service issue.

Anoteros · April 2014

Why stress?
Cancel sub, go play Morrowind, Oblivion or Skyrim with a plethora of mods you can't go wrong.

Chlori · April 2014

This is the trouble with so many people stuck into one server. The idiot population is higher
