More Race Change Woes

mclegg721 · July 2015

Why are Khajit, Altmer and Bosmer all getting buffs.

Bosmer and Altmer are already way too good of a race in current system. why buff them.

you know what this will do? it will make AD even more populated than it already is because of players who cannot choose all races/all factions.

AD already has the highest population over all. now lets just make it bigger. Thanks for the lack of game balance ZOS.

The Altmer and Bosmer buffs are seriously out of left field.

Khajit needed a bit of a buff, and they got it.

But yeah, Altmer and Bosmer needed nothing. I have no idea why the Devs felt like they needed something while Argonians needed almost nothing.

And yet Argonian are still left out in the cold. I can only assume zos think that resistances are the best thing since sliced break trumping everything except swim speed...

Not on the Console...... Red has the most by almost 2x

What of my scaley brothers and sisters? Kinda boring only seeing Nords and Dunmers (with few splashes of other races mainly cats) in the glourios master race Ebonheart Pact.

Yes the type of players that re-roll and re-level characters through the vet grind are the type of players that won't buy the adventurer pack from the crown store. Logic......

I guess you're talking about US ? Might be true.
Then please give these racial changes to EU only, because AD is pretty sad over here. We need love.

it's not about Re-Rolls, it's about new players in the game, not re-rolls. the fact of this post is that they buffed races for no reason at all. The Population imbalance is just secondary.

There are good reasons.
At least the Altmer buff is more than justified, as we already came to understand.

AD has the highest pop? thats the best joke I've ever heard. AD gets like 3 campaigns lock at prime time, EP has all campaigns pop locked at Prime time.

Khajiit needed a little help/tweeking, Argonians need a lot of help, (maybe even a complete rework). Altmer and Bosmer needed nothing, they are good as is. ..... So who got buffed,

you guessed it. I guess Argonians are just suppost to be an npc race that ocasionally a hard core rpger will play for a challenge.

Manoekin · July 2015

Altmer did not need a buff, Bosmer did slightly because of the blocking change. Having bonus regen means little when large parts of combat require you to block.

mclegg721 · July 2015

That's in PVP, Overall AD has a higher population in the game.

mclegg721 · July 2015

also that being said, Cyrodill is only a portion of the population of the overall game... remember that

Argonians had a major advantage, especially in PvP, until ZOS nerfed the everliving crap out of the Argonian Nightblade Potion build. Since then, they never fixed argonians to make them relevant in any category.

It's a simple challenge for ZOS developers: place each race into a category that they can each excel at. I can't theorycraft my Argonian Templar into any category PvP or PvE that another race/class combo can't blow clear out of the water. (He's leveled in all crafting skills and has full SP in each, that's literally all I can do with him.) The only real advantage they have is they get to healed as if the healer had the 5-set Healer's Habit bonus (+ to healing received).
