    “Doesn’t give new abilities”

    Only heals for all damage I do

    Only deals massive aoe damage for a long time to help my draugrkin build

    Only increases my magicka to a point where my damage will increase by over 15%

    Only heals me from the brink of death up to full


    The blood scion could look like a demonic chicken for all I care. If it is half as useful as they are suggesting, I’ll be the deadliest poultry in all the realms of oblivion.

    In all seriousness, I don’t care that they reskinned goliath. Better to use something that works than start completely from scratch. Shadow vampire demon is badass, but I guess I’m just an edge-lord.

    Yeah, it doesn't give new abilities. Those are effects, not abilities I'm afraid.

    Sorry you misunderstood me.

    Ah yes, I too don't mind re-skinned non-creative ultimates when it comes to something that people have been wanting in the game since launch. Truuuuue.

    Sarcasm aside, saying that you don't care that they blatantly reskinned an already existing ultimate for a pretty important ultimate, possibly the most important ultimate rework they've made ever, instead of doing something new and unique shows what kind quality you prefer. Or, well, lack there-of.

    The cardboard shadow wings are trash (And btw they're literally dragon knight's wings just plastered on there, but I don't expect this to phase you since you don't mind that the ultimate is a blatant reskin) and the form is most likely going to change by the time it hits PTS.

    You're free to like it, but do note that this form is most likely a placeholder and with the amount of people that DONT like the way it looks, they're pretty inclined to make sure it's a placeholder to some degree.

    The normal NPC vampires already have their blood scion form done, I would expect it to look something like that by the time it is done.

    I honestly think they should have just NOT shown us any early footage at all. Everyone is freaking out and yet we don't even know if ANYTHING we saw is final or not.
    Struggling to find a new class to call home.Please send help.

    But... errr... I don’t want my lady vampire to turn into a man bat... 🤔

    Also it means I can’t use the gorgeous bat ultimate without turning into one of those big gormless sods... 😫

    Definitely time to find that priest ☹️

    But for the pvp brigade fear not... if these changes go live pvp will basically consist of vampires equipped with gear to kill other vampires 🤪

    Everything is final except maybe the numbers.

    This close to release, what they've shown us is what we'll get.

    Nope, wrong. The preview we saw was obviously very early in dev. They didn't even have proper ability icons done.

    That and they had WIP plastered all over the animation showcases.

    The preview was from a very early in development build.

    Is it to much to ask for either a permanent Vampire form that say increases the stages or a passive form like currently? An Ult just makes it not so cool in my opinion. It's like the Werewolf form with out the ability to extend it.

    I really hope they have done something about this during the delay of the release.

    Actually, at the moment it's more like Bone Goliath, not even werewolf form.

    As you get nothing really new ability-wise for staying in it and for some reason choose to wield a weapon when you have dagger-sharp claws.... Also you can still use class abilities, cant wait to see huge unholy night creatures casting *holy* templar magic.
    Due to current size of Blood Scion form Dragon leap would be epic =)

    I'm glad they showed us early footage, because we can see the direction they are going, and can give early feedback. They will never show us some random skills and numbers, it reflects direction that they chose, show us their thinking process. I don't remember ZOS changed something except numbers at PTS, so if something go to prerelease PTS it's will be on live. With latest schedule shift they have 3 weeks before PTS to change something based on reaction. Honestly i don't believe that ZOS will change something in vampire skills or gameplay mechanics, only number tweaks, the only thing they can change is the awful Blood Scion ultimate model, because it really awful, in my opinion, and looks like placeholder, but from other side, placeholders don't look so detailed and well done usually.

    Yeah dude, we spoke about this before. I have brought it up so many times on YouTube videos. I wonder if ZOS is doing anything about it.
