We all know that this is annoying, shriekers interrupt role-play, and are just plain annoying.
I want to see your vote: Should shrieking be disabled?

leafnosedbat · Apr 25, 2014

I'd vote for a substantial cooldown on it. I think that would really help things.

Feyona · Apr 25, 2014

Yes, it should be disabled because Vampires wouldn't in theory be able to run around Regalia spamming shrieking without being caught and executed immediately, particularly shrieking right next to my face...

Alj23 · Apr 25, 2014

This is in the incorrect section. MassiveCraft topics are not supposed to be discussed in the Mass-debate section. Moving this to feature and idea discussion.

SatiricaI · Apr 25, 2014

I agree, it should be disabled. It's useless and doesn't really make much sense, if you think about it.

So all the vampires are left with double jump and night vision, how fun. No more blood feasts and such, not that i'm a vampire, though it was fun to see them getting stacked while spamming shrieking and bloodlusting. Ah old masisvecraft memories. It isn't useless, you can use it in role play to scare someone off. Like in the sewers not near them guards.

It's rarely used for that, and moreso used for spamming annoyingly in the tavern and other populated areas.

Well I used it for that and most dedicated RP vampires use it for that, just burn every single annoying shrieking vampire and give them a warning. Removing this in my opinion will make the RP for vampires less interactive, maybe a 2 minute cooldown though

Vortex196 · Apr 25, 2014

A 2 minute cooldown would be best as it would prevent the /constant/ spamming of it at the tavern and allow dedicated vampire rpers to continue to use it for its intended purpose.

fantuinn · Apr 25, 2014

Yes. A vamp once came up to me and shrieked, I had my headphones on...

Ethanol2906 · Apr 25, 2014

Personally, my current character is a vampire, I've had previous characters that were vampires, I've done a few different vampire personalities and I have never had to shriek. It's annoying when people do it to me and as such I don't do it to others without a good reason. I definitely think there should be a cooldown on it.

Pyrooooo · Apr 25, 2014

I had a character who was a vampire… never shrieked once, never used bloodlust once…
If some vampire RPers want to use it, fine, but definitely with a cool down.

studsonsc · Apr 25, 2014

I say we ought to add time to the cool down instead of removing it.

Rip Shoul · Apr 25, 2014

I've never used it. I just RPed it out. It might be too hasty to remove it, but something does have to change.

what does it let you do??

Rip Shoul · Apr 25, 2014

@ElfArcher9191

A vampire types /v shriek and they produce smoke particles and make a ghast scream. Its only use is for RP, but I've never used it anyway.

Alatar Silvercl · Apr 25, 2014

Nothing more irritating than the shriekers at the tavern shrieking and making a noise, when no guards are about. Disable it or add a 5 minute cool-down.

Billy_Rage · Apr 26, 2014

I hate the shrieking, most of the good vampire RPers will say they never use it. So why I think removing it would be great, I think changing the sound to the creeper hiss or enderman growl would sound better and be less annoying.

NorskFury · Apr 26, 2014

But then it wouldn't be a shriek... :/
I am in favor of a cooldown, that makes a lot of sense.

Dingaling yes please, either that or it should be disabled only in regalia.

Dissabled in Regalia would mean only use for vampire factions scarring of there enemies... And since no One uses it for anything importand, then when its dissabled in Regalia, it should be everywhere.

I try to use most interactive commands i can so the people have a vision of what is happening and live themselves more in the situation, though removing this would take away a chunk of vampires.( mostly annoying vampires) But there will be still vampires running around the tavern screaming :: i is vamp. And burning in the sun.

HereticTakao · Apr 28, 2014

Well if a Vampire shriek it can mean many things

They are making a signal to one of their "friends" so the friend would know when to do it,
They are just plan hungry and shriek
They are stupid and want to get killed

RavenFeather · Apr 28, 2014

I think the shriek is good to have on occasion, but needs a large cooldown. I liked to use it when my vampire character was deeply injured, to scare someone off in a dark alley or sewer, or when they die. It added a nice touch. I agree, noobs spam, but it would be fine if the cooldown for it was much longer. I will have to say, though, I rarely ever use it.

Endurrr · Apr 28, 2014

Large cooldown or no shriek at all, because lets be honest... Not many use it for rp purposes.

BulbousDevourer · May 1, 2014

I agree with the cooldown thing. Maybe 5 or 10 minutes, because really, in roleplay how often does a vampire realistically have to scream like a demon?

krios41 · May 1, 2014

just going to trow it her but it has been AGES since i last heard a vampire shriek at random in teh tavern or somewere else

I own the house directly across from the Tavern, so I get a lot of Tavern commerce and mumbling.

Know what else I get?

At least 1 vampire shriek ever 2 minutes, but often much, much more.

krios41 · May 1, 2014

maybe i am lucky then
