For the first time since I started playing Sacred I started a Vampire. Vampires must be right up there amongst the most bugged toons. I had more CTD's and hang-ups with this toon just leveling to level 10 than I would in a month of playing Daemons. I think this vampire of mine will stay parked at lvl 10.

really? thats odd....I've not had a CTD since I reloaded Sacred and I've been playing my lvl 110 vamp a fair bit.

Though I would agree there are some odd bugs with a vamp - like being able to kill monsters through solid walls with multi hit (its my favorite bug)

Same bug sometimes occurs with the DE's HH and Attack, so I don't think that kind of bug is special to the vamp.

Don't play vamp that often, but I've never noticed any extra amount of ctd's when I do though.

Never had PC trouble playing a vamp. And get MH up near 100 and its just silly against undead with the vamp charge-up - through walls, off-screen, they all die! I stopped using Attack back in Plus because MH is just all-round better - even the individual hits count for the charge-up, whereas a whole Attack sequence only counts once.

What combat arts/vampire arts were you using? I dont' have much CTD trouble... and haven't noticed anything in my private server games (tests?) in the last few weeks (vampiress doing BV/SC quests to about level 11 maximum).

I am not using any CA's as yet and only vampirism. It might have been my internet connection playing up. I'll try again later today and see how it goes.

Thanks guys, yes I tried again today and I had no problems. Where I live I can only get ADSL. I am right at the maximum phone line distance from the exchange so my download and upload speeds can vary quite substantially. Even at the best of times I can only get 128 upload speed, so I would say it is my internet connection, bummer:p

I'm also playing my first vamp (thanks to Gimpa's glowing report on their features). Your description here sounds great if I could translate it to English.

What's a charge-up? It sounds like every hit makes her stronger. That would explain how great she is in vamp mode. :o

yep thats pretty much what it means. You'll notice that during night or when you are in a cave and in Vampire form you get this strange looking glow around your hands and body - thats the charge up. You do a lot more damage with that on.

It wears off if you dont hit monsters but soon comes back again

Thanks - I did noticed that glow and wondered why it went on and off. :D Aside from Turn to Vamp, what other enhancements are good. I've heard about the 'read 1 jump, 1 TiV, & 1 HH' combination. So far I just have 2 TiV read (but others socketed).
