I deeply dislike and resent getting stuck with the vamp lord form as my Ult now. I dislike that now that we finally have all these cool feeding animations that feeding now advances your stage, pretty much meaning that I never do it. I liked being able to feed to reduce my stage. Once they'd lengthened the stages to 6 hours vs something ridiculous like 20 minutes (yes, that used to be a thing) I was overall content with the the way the stages worked and the unique justification for them. At least vampire drain should as well as that ultimate which i dont use because i still hate the whole bloodscion thingy. If we use our vampire powers, that should also increase our vampire stage gradually. Purifying bloody mara being our flask of blood from willing victims. But blood takes bloodthirst away so purifying bloody mara dfoes the same, right. How that affects his powers however, is all speculation though. That implies he gets weaknesses by being without his flask of blood from willing victims. You notice Fennorain going weak on that part of story where he is experimented on. Again, if you drink blood from unwilling victims, you lose your thirst for blood and get rid of weaknesses but you also get weaker on your powers. If you wait, be it online or offline, you get bloodthirsty and get your vampire weaknesses back as well but you also get more powerful. You drink blood, you get rid of your bloodthirst and weaknesses so you also get rid of stage 4 by frinking blood. This is wrong AND to add to the insult, it makes keeping purifying bloody mara on your pocket mandatory to speak to certain services ike horse trainers and even more annoying, you need to be ONLINE to get rid of stage 4 by waiting and waiting takes ages. You need to drink blood to get powerful AKA stage 4.
