Make vampire abilities quieter
#1
Okay so, vampire is my favorite role so I'm a bit biased in wanting this.
Some of the abilities (cough cough glare cough cough) are obnoxiously loud and can get you caught very quickly.
The round I played most recently as of writing this, I rolled vampire, was excited because it's my favorite role, and got completely fucked over by sec being eternally on my ass throughout the entire round and it sucked because I never had a clean opening to do anything interesting, and whenever I tried anything I got interrupted very quickly. One of the biggest reasons was people hearing the glare sound from rooms away and going to get sec on me.
Paraphrased from one of the sec players that round, the glare sound is like announcing "HEY SEC I AM A VAMPIRE AND AM DOING CRIME AS WE SPEAK"
There's others with the same sentiment, and after getting a completely fucking limp vampire round because of that, I wholeheartedly agree.

I think I am the officer they quoted heh, but I agree fully. Glare as a whole is far too loud, especially when considering if someone is really determined they can usually still scream out for help over their radio before being hypnotized. As an officer I often will just blatantly ignore it when I hear glares early round and mid-round if there isnt an actively known vampire problem. its just that often its loud enough to alert, anyone in the vague area who then often go report that to security, which is something that can't really be ignored.

I feel like this is kind of a similar thing to how capu was pretty widely considered bad for changelings and so it was tweaked. To summarize its too loud and too distinctive, so i think either it should be made quieter, or made less distinctive.

Less audio cue, more visual would make sense. It's called "Glare" and I don't see why being looked at would make a noise.

I do think glare and hypnotize could have some fun visual overlay effects that happen to the victim when used against them
