Let me get this straight, because EA left a loophole that makes the 'sampire' possible it should be used?
How is it a loophole? It fricken increases your skill value... (dur dur durrr).
How's it a loophole? I'm sure necromancy wasn't intended to work that way. You shouldn't be able to be equip jewels to the point where you could change form, then remove them and keep said form. Unless you have 99 real skill in necro you should not be able to stay in this form. Using jewelry to get around having the necessary skill is a loophole.
So sing that logic, if someone leaves their door unlocked, and shows you where they keep their jewelry, you should be able to walk in there and take it without any consequence because they left the door unlocked and the jewelry available?
That is an extremely unrelated poor analogy. You're comparing a "loophole" to theft. That would just be human stupidity.
You're being too literal. My question was asking 'just because you're able to do something (no matter if that action is right or wrong), you should do it?' The answer is no. Because of a flaw in game mechanics people should abuse it? No, it's not supposed to work that way.
I'm sorry, but I have to agree with the anti-sampire groups. Taking the jewels off while in vampire form should revert you back to your normal form if you don't have the necessary necro to back the spell up. If you want to keep the jewels on and stay in vamp form, fine. But not without the jewels.
I will agree with you on this. The fact that you stay in form is because you have the minority of your real skill devoted to at least 40 necromancy. If this was accomplishable without any necromancy I would call it an exploit. If its still achievable with jewelry that would be fine by me. The only thing it would do is jack up the price of sampire gear then everyone would go back to archers.
40 skill is not the same as 99 skill. Bottom line is if the base skill isn't there, and you've removed the jewels, you shouldn't be able to remain in vamp form.
What I don't understand (this coming from a player who doesn't play a sampire), is why do you care?
Because it devalues the work done by players who have put in the time and effort to actually reach 99 (or above) in necro.
I have never found my self effected by the template. I've even hunted with them and think they're amazing my self. I can solo the same stuff they can with my tamer. Does that mean my tamer should get nerfed? Archers can solo most peerless fine with pots and resist spells. Should archers be nerfed?
Basically, I see the whole reason to the cry nerf behind this template is spite.
I have never been affected by the template either. I don't have a necro or a samurai. I am not jealous, nor spiteful of 'sampires'. My gripe is with the fact that what they are doing devalues the efforts of people who put in the time working the skill beyond 40. I am against that regardless of the class of char, or template.
And for the record, I'm not crying nerf. I'm crying FIX.
- It's allways the same with those abbreviations: easy to write but silly to look at. I surely won't call my crafter Smailor or my Peace-Tamer Peamer.
