How come Racials weren't given a pass in 1.6 ZoS?

You basically changed 2 that I know of..

Wood Elf got a pretty good bump, but you pretty much Gutted Argonians.

This was honestly the patch to do it because you have a lot of Races with Great Racials, and a bunch with complete crap (Argonians/Nords/Khajiit/Orcs) for example.

The Argonian one is the worst though, because you took a build (Argonian Nightblades) that were completely designed around Potions, and completely removed it from the game without offering anything in return.

They have made it pretty clear that they don't care about racial balance.

Agree. They either need to buff the weaker races passives or offer a racial change.

Another option is to give access to the other racial passives through achievements but still limit total racial passives to three. Need to make them not stack with each other either. IE: Cant add max magicka from 3 passives.

Ways to do this is to make achievements like kill 10,000 High elves. This unlocks a high elf passive due to a better understanding of high elfs anatomy.
Do a long quest chain related to High elves to unlock another passive.
etc.

I really think they look at the better races' passives and do not think they are out of line with some of the weaker ones. That is the only reason I see them ignoring this issue.

They actually gave them a pass and hardcore nerfed all resist passives except breton.....

Yea.. Tell me about it.. I've been an argonian nb since beta and they completely destroyed us with this patch. It was the only niche my race had and now we really are completely useless. I still love my argonian, but ZOS has forced my hand and so I've started leveling an alt.

Yeap, entire reason I rolled Argonian over other races is because of its Potion Effectiveness...whole reason I chose Nightblade with it.

For them to come a long and yoink that away is incredibly annoying..esp without offering a Race change..or giving me something at least equal to what I had before....

Didn't they change the potion passives on Argonians and Nighblades simply because of the overall changes to potions anyways.

Yes, this means that basically everyone can do what you were doing with your specialized build.

This is correct. Please see my post for a complete discussion of all changes/issues related to potions in 1.6.
