'Vampir' has released its 18th and 19th improvement status boards, gathering the precious feedback of its player base. True to form, the lead planner has personally left detailed commentary on every single suggestion, keeping a tight feedback loop with the 'successors'. From combat gripes regarding the newly added class 'Akasha' to granular options for reducing visual fatigue and much-needed clan mail tweaks, they have really addressed the community's pain points. Let’s dive into the key items that are set to be addressed.

Q. The 'Blood Form' halo effect is so intense that I can't even see my own character.
A. We will add an option to minimize specific effects for your own character.

The unique visual flair of the Blood Form is a core element of the Vampir aesthetic. However, it’s arguably a bit too intense, often obscuring the very character you’ve spent so much time customizing. Players have been requesting a toggle to turn these effects on or off.

The lead planner empathized with the frustration, immediately marking this as 'Pending Implementation'. The team is now looking into ways to allow players to either minimize or completely disable specific effects for their own character’s screen.

In the meantime, there is a quick-fix tip if you want to inspect your character: head to 'Options - Environment - Graphics - Effect Quality' and drop it to 'Low'. It will dampen the Blood Form and other distracting effects until a permanent solution arrives.

Q. Using certain Akasha skills forces the character out of the 'Auto-Combat range', which is quite annoying.
A. We are looking into a fundamental fix for the auto-combat return logic itself.

Players piloting the latest class, Akasha, have pointed out a sharp flaw in the auto-combat system. Specifically, using the 'Blood Rush' and 'Prey Hunt' skills tends to yank the character right out of their designated auto-combat zone.

This happens because both skills are designed to maneuver behind the target. While that’s a brilliant tactical move in PvP or manual play, it’s a significant loss for AI combat; the character constantly wanders out of bounds and then wastes time jogging back to the start. It’s a classic dilemma: skip these two skills, and your hunting efficiency drops off.

The good news is that the devs are fully aware of this issue. While they ponder a fundamental fix for the auto-combat return logic, they suggest a temporary workaround: increasing your combat range setting to reduce the frequency of this issue. It’s not a permanent solution, but they promise to announce any updates once the review is complete.

Q. Clan mail is plagued by too many restrictions, making it difficult to use.
A. We will maintain the special character restrictions, but we are actively considering increasing the character limit.

Clan mail is the lifeblood of communication, especially when you need to broadcast schedules or announcements to offline members. However, the 100-character cap and the ban on special characters have been common points of contention. The verdict: character count expansion is 'Pending Implementation', but special characters remain 'Not Implemented'.

The latter is due to internal policy and anti-abuse measures designed to filter out prohibited words. The developers sympathize with the inconvenience but insist that the rules are there for a reason.

However, they did agree to review the character count. Admitting that 100 characters is a bit tight for meaningful group communication, they’ve promised to review an extension, giving clans more room to breathe in their messages.

Q. The fatigue associated with Gehenna content is just too high. Please adjust the play balance.
A. We will introduce the best possible solution to alleviate fatigue without sacrificing reward value.

A regular fixture on the improvement board, Gehenna feedback is back. It’s clear this content is a focus for the dev team, as they are constantly being asked to adjust the sheer amount of effort required to keep up with it.

The team understands that Gehenna is tiring. But because it’s the core competitive content of Vampir, they are treading carefully. Simply changing boss spawn cycles could create massive reward gaps between players, so they are looking for a way to cut the grind without trimming the loot. They’re still collecting feedback and promise to announce any concrete plans via notice.
