    Well, they do actually spawn, but not maybe in the time that you were playing.

    An example of, Werewolf's have spawn in Tamriel ( The Riften ) around 3.00 AM GMT +1 , so this means Bloodfiend's will also spawn, but maybe on different locations and different time.

    Now the way you are "demanding" or "complaining" is not reasonable.

    Following "nights", it's not only meant "real time nights" since there are approximately 4 in-game nights.

    And Zenimax maybe does not ow you an explanation, just be patient. Right time will come to meet a Bloodfiend.

    Remember that this is not a everyday spawn, so have patient and wait, and also Spawn Locations are not permanent so they may vary to even locations that have not been "temporary known".

    While I can understand some people's frustrations, it is not gamebreaking, hence probably scores pretty low on the rating of things to do.

    I do however, agree with the fact it should not be a rare spawn in an open world area, a quest would be so much better, and a lot more immersive. I actually expected it the first time I did some quests for vampires... My anticipation was growing as I was nearing the quest's end, and when no bite was offered, I was like... wait... what? but...but ... but... I know we just met and this is crazy, but ... bite me maybe?

    But nope, nothing. I was actually very disapointed not to be offered the gift as a reward :(
    "In 2014, a possible bot was sent to coldharbour by a military GM for a crime she didn't commit. This argonian promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Ebonheart underground. Today, still wanted by the developers she survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a bot problem, if no one else can bite you, and if you can find her....maybe you can hire The SQUISHY."

    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!

    Do like everyone else - pay for a bite and be happy with it... or wait a week or 2 and there will be crawling with vamps/ww´s... wait a few more weeks and i bet it will be more "cool" to stay un-bitten since everyone and thier mothers and their grandmothers will be vamps/ww´s... your choice..

    But yeah.. downtime sucks... i was about to finish of the ww-quest myself so...

    I indeed hope also for a "gift" as you said during that quest you need to get some Vampire Blood", but nothing.

    And I think maybe it was truly meant to be a rare spawn in the mission to each player spread it across Tamriel. But since spreading only occurs with "gold" this is kind coming too crazy.

    Bites being sold from 10K - 25K Gold and even more it's just crazy :expressionless:

    But that is how some players make money, and run their business across Tamriel.

    To make it short:

    Friday is -official- maintenance.
    Friday's first -ingame- night is -after- New Moon.
    7 RL days are 28 -ingame- days.

    What happens after 7 days?
    Official Maintenance.

    So, I dare say that currently no one will become a vampire, unless on days like today they might reset the ingame timing.

    I understand your frustration, OP. I camped for about 5 RL days trying to find Bloodfiends and was stressing a little whenever I missed a night just in case that was THE night.

    In the end I caved and payed to be bitten by someone. 35k...

    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: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    easier to get legendaries than getting bitten by a stupid bloodfiend

    I completely agree for those of us interested in getting vampirism, it is frustrating that it's clearly broken and not being addressed.

    Sigh. I understand the day and night cycles. Hell I even have an add on clock that works really well. So when I say I'm out there camping every night, then yes, I mean every IN GAME night. So that's aprox. every 4 hours. Yes, I even get up in the middle of the freaking RL night so I don't miss an in game night. Yes, I know that sounds crazy but I did it as part of an experiment so that I could actually really track the cycle accurately. I don't much care that that sounds crazy, I've seen gamers do stranger things trying to learn how to beat a specific aspect of a game. What I care about is the fact that this is clearly broken and they aren't doing or saying anything about it. Is it game breaking? No. Is it REALLY impacting my enjoyment of the game? Yes. And I've seen other people go all nerd ragey over broken content in this game. This is just another example of broken content. It just happens to be the broken content that's pissing me off the most right now, especially in light of the fact that they won't address it AT ALL.

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

    Nope - they have chances of dropping set armor that gives boons to players who are vampires or werewolves

    So lets get this straight.. Rare almost non-existent spawns, Greifers that camp to make a quick buck, and now your telling me there is actual incentive to camp the spawn location for a chance at set armor that benefits vamp/ww... the logic is strong in this one/sarcasm.. gg ZoS

    All characters should just start out as Vampires. Then you can have the main story be about a quest to either cure yourself or learn how to master your new vampire abilities.

    Considering some of us waste hours on end just waiting around at spawn points for bloodfiends to appear, I too would like a yay or nay from ZOS, regarding if sever resets affects bloodfiend spawns.

    They might not know if it is even broken or how to fix it. Just look at all the bugs. This is turning into a snowball effect. More and more problems are stacking up and not getting taken care of fast enough. I really love Elder Scrolls universe but I am afraid this game will end up like Tubala Rasa or ToRtanic. Word is there is already a new dupe out.

    In all fairness, I've seen a pretty high amount of replies from ZOS staff in the threads, but from the amount of names of staff popping up, I doubt they can keep up with the pretty large amount of threads and posts on the forum :). I would not blame the staff for it.

    Then they need to consider either closing this forum down or taking a more hands on approach to CUSTOMER SERVICE INTERACTION.

    THIS!^^ I also "love" how when you put a ticket in for something in the game their email response is to tell you that they consider your issue RESOLVED unless they hear from you AGAIN. First time I saw that I was like, "You've got to be kidding me!" Nothing like basically being told, "Hey we know you have a problem with our game but we're hoping you may not read your e-mail for awhile so we can delay dealing with it or, if we get really lucky, you'll let the clock run out on your issue and we won't have to deal with it at all! Have a nice day sucker!"

    Average cycle between BF spawn seems to be 8-10 days. They spawned this past night phase. After the last WW spawn, it is usually 2-3 days of nothing spawning, then the BF.

    So at last it seems we have our bloodfiends. I still maintain it was broken for a time as we had werewolves, then nothing, then werewolves again. But if it's actually fixed now, I'm happy and they can consider this thread closed.
