V is for Vampire-Powerman 5000

Well its not even White Wolf making 5th ed now. Its paradox. People who’ve never made a pencil and paper RPG before. They made pillars of eternity which was great bout this new Vampire looks terrible.

No, just based on it.

More like force it to go F2P cash shop which I think it will be anyway. I’ve been wondering how they will make money already.

Sounds like your Princes were frankly, weak, stupid and unable to deal with the position. Prince isn’t just some shiny title to take to get a few more traits to bid…/facepalm. Its a lot of responsibilities for said PC. That said a lot of players play Princes WRONG. You CANNOT just walk up to the Prince as a newly embraced vampire! NO! You have…[Read more]

Our games had revolving Princes from time to time. That NEVER was a problem with approving Embraces.

That’s not how the Traditions work though and that’s just not really VtM. The Prince is in charge of that. If clan leaders are in charge instead it could get way out of hand and it also takes away a bit of power the Prince is supposed to have.

You’re all assuming the factions aren’t just “Clans” btw! They could be clans just like in the Camarilla or Sabbat, who have their own internal structure and secrets but who are part of the same “sect”. If they were all totally seperate factions how in the world could they all be in the same city without all out war being a constant possibility?

A prince can absolutely troll in that roll. Sorry. Vampires don’t play nice in VtM and I assume they don’t here either, since this is based in part on VtM. So your only recourse if the guy in charge is jerk is to replace him, kill him or keep your head down. Sorta like in real life in those less democracy inclined areas…

You realize that the WoD Vampire MMO was going to have a Prince in charge of cities right?1-Too damn bad? A prince doesn’t have to be nice, IF they have the power to be a dick and stay in power that’s exactly what happens in the Camarilla and Sabbat. I see the same thing happening here. If you don’t like the Prince you have to kill him off or…[Read more]

A group of players could FORCE a cap you know. I could see that happening. “We didn’t approve this new ebrace, kill it and the sire.” Much like how its supposed to be in the Camarilla if you don’t seek approval from the Prince first.

You just said there would be other species. Who says it will be predominantly vampires? And whats wrong with a cap in some games? That would make the embrace more special and worth while so people wouldn’t throw it away for one. You talk about “player friendly” yet the devs already said you could PvP just about anywhere. Does that sound player…[Read more]

No its not a purely vampire themed mmo. That is simply the first supernatural they will focus on AND you can stay mortal. Overpopulation IS a problem. Did you not read about how you’re supposed to keep your nature a secret? KINDA HARD TO DO WITH A TON OF VAMPIRES RUNNING AROUND…especially when I predict a lot of them will be moronic kids acting…[Read more]

Players selling the embrace is a bad idea as far as the whole setting immersion thing. Then what if there are too many vampires? Overpopulation and you may embrace someone who isn’t worthy of it and is a total jackass? The crimes of the son visited on the father and vice versa sort of thing?

When I try to see what the controls are, it just brings up a white box, nothing more.

I don’t think it should be about the less humane people will die permanently. I think it should possibly more be about the Dogma, or following the laws of the vampire society. If you happen to kill a lot of assholes who are trying to kill you that shouldn’t fuck over your essence. After all Smiling Jack says in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines…[Read more]

I’m just making suggestions is all, just opening a discussion because I know some people were bothered by the idea of players selling off the embrace for tons of money or currency, withholding the embrace, ect.
