Very, very good analysis overall, Mortis. You had many sagacious insights.

No. Varik is right. The undead's essence is their soul, and if they turn to ash, that means their soul was dissipated. The Lost Souls are people who died and have not, for one reason or another, completed their travel to the underworld. As an undead, you are one of such entities, except you came...

Nothing beyond @mikzzzan's suggestion. The concept is for the Vampire, in its spectral form, to absorb the Lost Souls' very being and disintegrate them. We called it Syphoning. As always, things are subject to change, but this was the idea. What we currently have was a quicker implementation, to...

That is the concept we were going for, it just hasn't been implemented yet. Good suggestion. :)

Mordecai.

Light attacks are not being buffered, which means that they are not triggering as fast as they should be in chains. This is a known issue. Heavy attacks will eventually be able to be chained as well, this is merely an initial iteration of them. Exsanguinate's channeling needs some tweaking, but...

It does through lore yet unrevealed. :) The Revenant is still being worked on, so it might/will change, but this is precisely what we are currently going for. Currently, I believe your attack speed increases up until 100%. If you are not at 100%, you have not achieved maximum benefit from...

Sorry to hear that. As the game gets developed, there will be a time for optimization, and then it's likely it will run more smoothly on older specs. That was the original intention, it will likely become a part of the default controls, or at least an optional configuration, over time. Without...

Rend was a temporary skill meant to satisfy a necessity at the time. Telekinesis is likely to replace it in a more lore-friendly and interesting way. The idea is that there should be multiple ways for the Vampire to acquire blood other than Exsanguinate. In any case, the Bloodlust system is...

Bloodlust was conceived as an innate mechanic for the Vampire, where other classes would/might have their own. Many potential ways to gain Bloodlust were considered, as well as many ways it would affect the player. My favorite conceptualization of Bloodlust is it affecting each and every Tarot...

That's true, I don't recall when, but it was mentioned.

When designing Minor Arcana, we are definitely leaning so far more to the side of variants than straight-up upgrades for the Tarots. Increasing damage/range/speed is often a byproduct of either leveling the card, but not so much upgrading it. An example of a variant would be your suggestion...

I am sure the deck interface will be most helpful when people are choosing their Tarots, as you will be able to read the skills' descriptions, their functioning, and that of any upgrade they may have. As well as a few extra interesting things. :)

This issue has been identified, it apparently was introduced in the last update.

It is a myth that, for features to have variety and depth, they need to be complex. Simple systems, with smart implementations, can have amazing depth. I am often in favor of complexity, but I am more in favor of intelligent solutions. We will certainly experiment with many different systems to...

Hey everyone, To activate your Steam keys, follow these instructions: Deadhaus welcomes you.

You assessment is correct. Danse Macabre is an offensive Tarot Card, and a lot of depth does come from the other Cards you pick for your Hand, some of which are focused on defensive abilities. Cards can be further modified, often mixing between the offensive and defensive realm. There will be...

Hey guys, It's awesome to see this interest. I'll answer what I can as directly as possible. Keep in mind that all features are in active development and may change drastically over time. Currently, there are two ways that the Bloodlust goes down. If you spend a few seconds without engaging in...
