Archived What Ever Happened To These?

[soapboxstage]

What ever happened to all these neat bloodlines? I mean I can see possible reasons for some of them but what did the Mekephit hinder the lore? I don't know because I wasn't around back then but I don't see a lot of issue. Then again this is from like 2 years ago but still, what ever happened to the vampire races? The vampire redo just said "Scrapped animal race bloodlines" without really saying why. I mean, there isn't a lot of fear in vampires if you play animal races and even some human races. Like, they can suck your blood but they can't actually infect you so there isn't as much fear in vampirism if you are an animal race or even certain human races.

This doesn't really belong in this sections, but basically. It was over saturated and a few were cringey and overpowered or underpowered and it was all a convoluted mess, so staff entirely rewrote Vampire lore.

Half the Bloodlines were just slight alterations of existing Bloodlines but with minor nerfs or buffs. Basically- it was a load of redundant nonsense. Thats the short of it.

focusing more on the animal race bloodlines here rather than the human bloodlines

The "Animal Race" ones were the same mess. Though I do agree that I would like more Vampire Bloodlines that effect like, Lampar and Tigrans and such. Especially Lampar- those buggers were SCARY as hell as vampires.

I asked the same question. I was told to shut my mouth.* I was told that they were too convoluted and stuff, especially since at the time, certain races were being rewritten.

*In case it isn't clear, I'm completely joking.

yeah, I was looking through this, neat concept, I like the circci vampires as well
"Don't stay up too late reading at night, else the circci see your candle light"

Because it's passive aggressive stuff like that that usually gets threads locked. Like honestly what's the point of starting a thread if a few replies down you're just gonna be like "oh well staff is gonna lock it anyway lulz" 'let me just take the moral highground'.

They are gone because we are not willing to rewrite and maintain 20 bloodlines that are overpowered, have overlapping niches, and are seldom used. It is better to condense the information so that it may be used more efficiently and without powergaming. There are no plans to add more in the immediate future.
