World of Darkness Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodhunt - VTM battle royale

so many dark skins. apart from the supernatural elements that looks like monday in detroit.

Toreadors like that you just can't take seriously. They might as well have a permanent Dreamworks™ shifted eyebrow and a shit eating grin on their punchable faces.

This game is called Vampire: The Masquerade, but the only masquerade I see here is edgy diversity squads pretending to be vampires.

The odds of picking a random person in the Czech Republic and getting a black person is about one in a million. It's a country of 10 million people and the largest non-white group (the only one large enough to be noted in the census) is 83,000 Vietnamese (0.7% of the population).

But don’t worry, we plan to get things up and running again the day after – on 15 September.

So it's free to play now... how bad are the microtransactions?

 

[A horse of course]

Free to meh

 

[Zombra]

So it's free to play now... how bad are the microtransactions?

I read a user review that said a lot of cosmetics are locked behind a paywall. Not sure if that means gameplay items are all free or if that person is just more interested in Barbies.

 

[Tarkleigh]

It is insane that this game even exists. I am far from an expert on VtM but to me a Battle Royale is the last genre I would associate with the setting. Why do they even have this license? What does it add? It is really quite mindboggling

 

[PulsatingBrain]

The fact that they're already arranged into clans and factions, gives some degree of sense in using this setting for this type of game. I think the biggest problems are that:

A. No-one actually wanted this
B. VtM fans were super fucking hyped for Bloodlines 2, meaning that even if this was somehow good, it's still a huge disappointment

 

[ADL]

I love the atmosphere of this and the verticality of the city is really fun. I really want that World of Darkness MMO CCP cancelled

 

[Bester]

I just played it for 30 minutes and now I feel dirty and disgusted with myself. Uninstalled. Gonna have to defragment the hard drive to cleanse this filth out.

 

[Delterius]

Why do they even have this license?

my theory is that this started being made together with the werewolf shovelware game, before paradox bought white wolf

 

[udm]

I just played it for 30 minutes and now I feel dirty and disgusted with myself. Uninstalled. Gonna have to defragment the hard drive to cleanse this filth out.

Remember to uninstall the spyware that the game installed on your system.

[Rahdulan]

I wonder if this will last longer than Nosgoth did.

 

[Bester]

I'd say no. While the genre was shit, Nosgoth wasn't generic. Playing a vampire actually felt like it.

[lycanwarrior]

Like the world needs another battle royale game.

It needs more hardcore CRPGs instead!

BLOODHUNT – THE ROAD TO LAUNCH

Bloodhunt’s Public Early Access: Founder’s Season is coming to an end, and we’d like to thank everyone who has participated in this first phase of development! Over the course of Early Access, we’ve seen a tremendous level of support from our ever-growing community with over 2 million accounts created and 26 512 898 kills clocked up!

Your feedback has helped us immensely in understanding where our game shines but also where we need to work harder to meet the high standards that both we as developers and you the players expect.

The plan was to launch the game this year for both PC and PS5 as we moved out of Early Access: Founder’s Season. Based on key learnings from this early season, we have decided to take the time needed to address the valuable feedback we have received and postpone the release until early 2022. During this period the public servers will be taken offline.

Bloodhunt Founder’s Season is coming to an end and public servers will close on Monday 22nd of November at 10:00 CET.

So, what does this mean for the players?

Spoiler

Servers:


From Monday, November 22nd, at 10:00 CET, servers will be taken offline to ensure the development teams full focus on the implementation of feedback collected during the Early Access: Founder’s Season.
All players who have been a part of the Founder’s Season as well as last minute newcomers who join before the season ends will be able to participate in exclusive, invite only tests leading up to release.

Store: 


Effective as of today at 20:00 CET no more Tokens will be able to be bought in the game.
Existing Tokens in players accounts can be spent in store but past 22nd of November at 10:00 CET they will retain value and carry over to Season 1 next year.
All those who joined us on the Early Access: Founder’s Season journey will receive a ”Founder’s Token Pack” doubling the Tokens purchased up until this announcement. Players will receive these additional tokens at launch of Bloodhunt next year.

Battle Pass:


A massive XP boost will be activated from today until the servers shut down on 22nd of November at 10:00 CET to enable players to finish their Founder’s Battle Pass progress.
In-game Progression:

All unlocks and purchased items will be carried over to player profiles for the full launch along with journal collections and statistics.
We hope you join us on the streets of Prague leading up to the 22nd of November, celebrating the final nights of the Founder’s Season!

Looking at our game during the Early Access phase, we can see that we have a good core when it comes to game mechanics, graphics, balance, and general feel, but we need more time to work on things that you have been asking for such as improving performance, better ways for players to report cheaters and more overall reasons to continue playing.

With the additional development time, we will be focusing on the following:


Performance


Our top priority is ensuring a smooth, stable gameplay experience. Improving performance will be a major effort requiring adequate time for investigating, optimizing, and testing. We have received lots of great feedback from you that we’re going to use to improve performance.


Cheating


While we have addressed most of the major exploits that have been reported so far and are resolving some new ones that seem to have cropped up recently, we are not satisfied that our processes and systems are where they need to be. We are currently investigating various solutions for making it harder and more frustrating for banned players to create new accounts, looking at better reporting tools, and even evaluating other anti-cheat vendors. We hope to be able to share more information soon.


Player & competitive experience


We are also working on lots of other improvements including a better onboarding experience, more interesting and varied goals to work towards, session streamlining to ensure more playing and less waiting. When it comes to defining your vampire, there will be more qualitative variety of fashionable and cosmetic content that you can use to personalize your vampire. There are of course a few more surprises we’ll be talking about more closer to release.

The launch of the game will also include statistics which will be provided by our friends at Tracker Network together with an improved competitive experience for new and advanced players.

The PTE and Ranked initiative will also continue on our Discord as per usual.


Preparing for greatness


When we launch Bloodhunt next year, we want to ensure that both the PC and the PS5 version offer a fantastic high-quality experience as we will be marketing the game heavily towards players that may never have played or even heard about Bloodhunt previously.

We hope that this will enable many new players to not only play Bloodhunt but also engage with the fantastic community that has been built up around our game in this very short time period, and we hope that our core community will continue to help us spread the good word about Bloodhunt.


We will be sharing more detailed information about these topics in the upcoming months.


Content Creators


For our content creators, any playtests that we will be doing during this pre-launch period will be NDA free and we will make sure to invite you to try out new features and have your say about our progress.

Lastly, we just wanted to thank every player, journalist, and content creator for the support they have shown us, and we can't wait to see you in Prague again in Early 2022 on PC and PlayStation 5!

As usual we’ll be on Discord answering questions at Discord.gg/Bloodhunt

Didn't they pull the plug on the server? Is this going console only? Is anyone even at the wheel on this thing?
