@Erickson9610 and @IncultaWolf, to help with the investigation, can you confirm the following for me?
Are you talking about picking the Chaosball up after a player dropped it or from its original location?

Hey Kevin, so I went back and did some testing.
Werewolf CAN pick it up when it spawns initially, in the middle/original location, but CANNOT pick it up after another player drops it/dies. I recorded some footage if you need it.
@ZOS_Kevin
Thanks for following up! Will definitely take the video to share with the team in the morning.

When you get transformed into a watcher, it needs to transform you twice and that ends up setting your health recovery to zero.

I have so much fun playing mine, but I realize it’s completely gimping my character to be in wolf form (not to mention the fact that I want him to have brown fur so I’m forced to keep the transformation unmorphed as well). I’m not looking for them to be meta, but at least making it so they’re viable would be nice.
Hi Folks! First, thanks for your feedback and sending the clips focusing on Werewolves not being able to pick up the Chaosball. Really helps get an answer swiftly on this issue.
After chatting with the team this morning, its been determined that currently this is working as designed. Players who are transformed into forms other than their standard humanoid form will no longer be able to pick up Chaos Balls which also Transform you into Behemoths or Vampire Lords. Standard Chaos Balls can be picked up while transformed if the Chaosball is in its native location, but not in the wild if you are transformed. This is currently working like this because we found issues in PTS that would have been problematic on the live server. This was the best way we could address it in the time we had before launch.
However, we plan to address this in a future update to be consistent regardless of your transformation status when interacting with the Chaosball. We'll share more once that update is ready.
