Vampires can take blood IV and that will feed them or they can get any monkey and suck its blood. There is no 15 minutes timer unless you dont know these ways. And yeah, no shit when people shoot disablers at each other and try to play around glares and batons, there is no roleplay. But its part of paradise. It is fun and many people are playing because Paradise has interesting combat system with overall roleplay around it. Roleplay always suppose that you get worse in pure combat. All these attacks during texting and other shit, its all an issue, people do abuse when someone wants to roleplay to get an advantage. And most of the time you need a plan B to do anything. And most of the time there is no plan B. And many many times people get punished for being nice or roleplaying by their opponents. Thats why we dont see many roleplay here, not because of anything else. Make the vampire stronger so they always have plan B as they are too powerful, they will abuse strength and kill security team because "hey they chased me". You cant enforce roleplay. Even tho this server is called Medium roleplay server, you cant enforce it or punish for "not enough roleplay" until it hits some very low limits.

Glare is a good strong ability and yeah it can stun everyone around(or actually just knockdown, its kinda hard to stun everyone), however counterplay to glare is extremely easy. Just dont stay near the vampire with all your squad. You need just one person to cuff them, others can stay nearby and keep their stun with disabler or come close, stun and walk away. If security do this, vamp has almost no chance in escaping being cuffed and detained. Yes, it requires you to have multiple security on sight but its not bad imo, lone sec shouldnt easily arrest a vampire. Dantalion on lowpop or with low sec team is an issue yes. While his general powers are strong enough for escaping and fighting, having multiple thralls ontop of that makes this vampire the strongest of all four. If you are facing a dantaion as lowpop sec, just unload your lethal weapons. Space law allows you to use lethal equipment against a group of enemies, especically if you are outnumbered. One by one you will kill their thralls and leave the vampire alone. Just keep in mind that Dantalion can pacify you, making you unable to use any lethal equipment or harm attacks at all for about 30 second(i dont know exact time but its long), so you should stay in pair and support your mate with disabler/baton if you were pacified. In the end, i would say vampires are balanced enough compared to other antagonists. I dont want to mention mindflayer here, the god of unbalanced abilities, even without him we have a lot of traitor items/antags that break the game loop completely making chasing/fighting them almost impossible. If vampires need a nerf, i would say lets block dantalion subclass on lowpop rounds and thats it.

lmao that would fuck up some people who ghost on war declaration to play borgs
