Yea, I didn't watch the twitch stream at all-but I did login and play - got bat pet and email notification.
Re: "Vampire Rework".. They are not giving you Vampire Lords. They've said that multiple times so far - I encourage you to head over to the official forums to see the bigger discussion about what they may or may not be doing on the 'vampire rework'. But from what I understand, skim-reading through all that (mostly speculation because what's on the PTR to be tested is very little so far...) = Vampire LORDS are a different entity than the Vampire the player plays (both now and the redone one...).
Me - I've learned enough about MMO Dev Doubletalk over the years to know better than to listen to anything they have to say. Know better than any of the theorycrafting by fans on what they 'hope' they will be... gotta wait until launch to really find out what a "re design" really means. And most of the time, its a little bit of what players were hoping for with a whole bunch of disappointment on what it ain't.
ZoS/Bethseba...certainly haven't given players much reason to trust much of anything that they 'say'. So..we shall see.
As someone who doesn't care about vampires, doesn't care about playing one - played the current one for the achievement and then dropped it fast because of the 'no other skins or tats you pay real money for works on this buggy piece of crap skin-layer' and never missed it -- I also don't care that they are re-working it.
But I do know it won't be what all the fans are hoping it will be. Me - I just hope they fix the skin so that people don't have to choose between "vampire skin" and "every other look in game."
