Re: Fengrush was 100% right about the cross healing being one of the contributors to lag in Cyrodiil.
In general, the lags remained as they were, they just became smaller. So this solution is not suitable.
Re: Unable to change hair color without paying for it?
You need to pay, but not necessarily real world money. You can pay a player in gold to send you a crown store token. It’s at least better, even if it isn’t actually good (imo).
Yeah but someone is still paying money for those crowns, so it’s still a silly, unnecessary monetization. If you pay for the hair pack, you should be able to dye your hair too.
You should also be able to change your skin tone after you buy the body/facial markings packs (which is more relevant for khajiit and argonians, but still).

What would they replace the health with? Magicka? No reason to, on an orc... more stamina regen? Thats worse then the health. Resistances? Same as health
orc overperforms on dps base... not health base. Orcs are overbuffed. They needs to have one of his two damage stats reduced...
Their health is not something that would even go a short way... cus they would have to replace it with something... Something that would be much more... vile
Health equals stamina in PVE so health is damage stat. They dont need to replace it with magicka or resistance, bosmer has stamina like orc and sustain like orc has damage (dont get me started how unequal these values are) and there is no health, no other damage bonus than 1500 pen from dodge rolling. Same with all other races.
Orc's health is what makes it stand above all other races in PVE. You remove it and it will still be best stam PVE race, but because it has the best selection of stats (stam, weapon damage and no magicka to reduce either) not because of that and having extra damage stat.

Re: How is DPS this low on CP 500+ toons?
@ForeverJenn , I'd like a bit more context from your original post. Because no matter how you look at it, 5-8k Group dps is extremely low and I've never actually seen that. I always saw 10k+ group dps.
What was the dungeon? normal or vet? dlc or base game?
There are cases where combat metrics show "wrong" info, because if some mob get stuck somewhere (behind a wall or under the ground etc, happens more often than not) they won't lose aggro on you and you get stuck in combat for a long time.
This messes up the combat metrics fight report because the addon computes dps by taking all the dmg dealt and dividing it by fight time. So you will start seeing very low dps numbers compared to what you'd see normally because "stuck in combat" situation makes the addon consider a very long time period as the "fight time". (This happens to me all the time in blackheart haven dungeon, damn harpies ignoring physics)

Re: Fengrush was 100% right about the cross healing being one of the contributors to lag in Cyrodiil.
Tried it. Horrible performance, and as a healer, terrible idea. I was attacking keep with a group. Around me was around 25 people, but I could heal only 8 or so, because the rest of my group were near another wall, and players near me were unhealable. So, I suggest another test. One where dps could only damage players of their own class. Like wardens can only damage wardens, but not nb. Less calculations this way, right? And it would feel almost exactly like healers playstyle now.
Re: How is DPS this low on CP 500+ toons?
You really havent pointed out anything tho? It literally shows that even a shoe can pull more dps in extremely common, certainly -not- meta, gear. Im sorry so many "players" like you have less ability than a random inanimate object to actually do the dps role you signed up for when queueing into group content.
Re: Fengrush was 100% right about the cross healing being one of the contributors to lag in Cyrodiil.
If your going to make a poll give unbiased answer options. Picking no just because it's so biased

@Grianasteri
I don't buy it. You say that casual players don't have the knowledge of what sets to look for(talking overland like Mother's Sorrow here) when you go into any zone chat in the game and there is a newbie asking about what sets to use to improve their DPS, these sets are brought up CONSTANTLY in front of the entire population of the game...everyone who ever bothers to read zone chat knows at least a few of the sets to look for and work towards acquiring.
You also say that casual players don't have enough money to have someone craft them a 9 trait set....that is also patently false...I am sure there are very few players too gold poor to afford a set of purple gear. ANY crafter will happily craft purple gear without mats if the mat cost is simply added in to the deal(god knows I have made enough purple sets for free with no mats). Say someone wants me to craft them NMA for 20k or whatever and they dont have mats....I just tell them, make it 25k(or whatever the current price of the needed mats are)....I don't think you would have much trouble finding someone to craft you a set of purple gear for 25k. Then there is the other aspect of this....these are 500CP players the OP is talking about...that means they have to have at least a few months playtime....chances are they have several hundred thousand gold on hand unless they have been spending it on houses or something.
The only real reason is that the players in question simply do not care enough to learn...and that is all well and good, play the game however you want, but if they DO play like that...well, maybe not all content is meant for them.

Re: Do you think races need to be re-balanced?
As has been said, this has nothing to do with the current PTS. Not only should Zos ignore threads that are unrelated to this subforum the thread will likely not get the attention OP would want.
Besides, I do not think the race passives need to be rebalanced. For the most part, they have never been more balanced. Some tweaks maybe, but the poll is about an absolute total rebalancing or not. As such it would offer poor information even for entertainment value.
Mainly for me it is the sustain stam races that need some rebalancing.With the new endurance changes, with 0 investment in stam regen modifiers (No med armor, no cp, no class modifiers, etc) other than major and minor endurance (easily achievable via potions (major endurance, 40% now) + momentum (minor endurance which is now 20%) on a 2h, a Bosmer has an effective stam regen boost of 413. (258 * 1.6). Redguard at best can get effective 380 stam regen (that is if he/she can hit something every 5 seconds on the 5 seconds which by and large is more or less inconceivable outside of a pure dummy, even so there will be error) Weapon abilities are cheap already as it is so the 8% to weapon abilities won’t amount to much overall, especially if you have cost reduction passives such as from class, WEAPON, or medium armor passives.
This is an oversight by ZOS and since I don’t want Bosmer to be nerfed, so the main solution is for Redguard to be buffed or reworked.
Which is one “tweak” of many that I would do racialwise.
Thx for demonstrating my point about the poll not being conceived well since you are talking about a small tweak but an answer of Yes to the poll is suggesting you want a full rebalancing of the passives.
This thread would have gotten a lot more interest if it was in a relevant sub-forum.
