So, what would you change in VTES?

Eyes of the Dead is fine as it is. It serves its role as comic relief.

My president is Donald Trump. No more comic relief please.

Generally speaking, we need a more narrow power level on cards. There are nearly 2300 library cards but maybe 500 are 'playable'. That is like 2 sets effectively for a 25 year old game. Clearly I just kind of made up 500 but the idea still stands.

Things if the game would be reboot:
-three discipline levels
-just 13 major clans, and bloodlines not as prominent as they are in the game, antitribu incorporated into clans
-streamlined turn sequence, unlock, main phase, influence phase (discard interchangeable with transfers)
-minimum 11 vampires in crypt, 5 transfers starting from 2 for first player (transferring out vampire cost 1 transfer, getting new vampire all transfers)
-masters card playable in main phase, just a few playable after/before minions are acting but it's written down on those individual cards.
-no damn gehenna (no event cards either, events would go into master cards territory)
-most controversial thing, 1/2 (written down as 1₅ for 1.5 and 1₀ for 1.0.
-pool grouped into location-type of card (say, 5 locations for 6 pool each) that could be affected by cards effects, upgraded and other stuff.
-deflection type of cards shouldn't work as they do, but instead the pool damage should be split between both players (deflector and victim), and both can attempt to block)
-Combat has three phases: Maneuver, Strike, Press. All effects fit into these phases. Resolve effects as played, with each player going back and forth until neither player plays a card (they then proceed with the next phase).
-Preferable cards that give mandatory presses between sects that don't like each other. Preferably permanent effect, not one shot.


Otherwise what @LivesByProxy said, also make that disciplineless deflection triflemaster already.
