Racials changes

khele23eb17_ESO

So how do you think ZoS will handle this?

RebornV3x

They will balance racials by nerfing stronger races until they are weak and buffing weak races until theyre OP (money grab option)

Knowing Zenimax they over nerf and buff everything so I expect races like Altmer to be hit hard with the nerfs since its the best choice for Magicka builds I see other races over buffed.

But ZOS hasn't nerfed racial passives in quite a long time so they could just buff the weaker ones but with ZOS track record with DB this could be a sorcerer like debacle all over again where they go to far.

no matter what they do,it will be broken somehow.

This is what I suspect will happen. They want to push race change token sales and the most effective way to do it is to cripple the strong races and make the weak ones OP.

I have good real money on this. You wait red guard will be nerfed into the ground. High elf will actually be buffed. They made skill and ability costs way more expensive for a reason. So resources would not be so endless.

Why buff altmer? Isnt it the strongest mag class already?

Tbh i thibk they will add a skill line with morps that any race can use, all races will be the same base except an increase on lvl weapon exp. this way race is strickly cosmetic - not the way i would want it but it would save alot of issues

They wont go with something like that. Theres no money in doing it this way.

They will nerf some weak races and buff some strong ones in a way that makes your scratch your head (classic ZOS option)

I know for certain they won't be any major changes but mmino, I hope i am wrong !

GreenSoup2HoT

They will balance racials by nerfing the stronger races and leaving weak ones as they are

I'd rather see a nerf for a couple of reason's. Many races are better then others by a long shot but also because we keep buffing everything. Soon the cryodill debuff will just be increased time and time again. This is not progress.

They can't balance classes ,what makes you think they can with racials ?

a lot of bugs incoming

I fully expect something like High Elf does 30% more damage no matter what they use cuz lol High elf OP and as a passive gain 30% more max magicka.

The top Stam races'll (redguard, wood elf and Khajit) prolly get something like 50% more max stam, 50% more stam recovery and 70% more crit damage from stealth for the kitties cuz clearly they need it.

Nords will get 9% more cold resist and Argonians will gain 70% faster swim speed.

Every other race'll stay the same or be nerfed.

Then they'll call it a day.

that says all anyone needs to know about this particular issue.

and all other issues come to think of it.

Argonians and Nords will be OP, and the imperial will be the weakest race in the game. That's my guess.

Cannot hazard a guess, will wait and see.

Why can't they just fix what is broken for a change?

All options assume they go one way based on strong or weak race. It will be a mixed bag.

I want to believe in them. I really do....

Dont need race change anyways, so whatever they do it will """" things up.

MacCait

Bit nervous about racial passive changes... Finally got my builds the way I love them... but remain optimistic that they will strive for balance and not wreck it all. Bugs are one thing... baaaaaad decisions are another

God forbid, Nord and Argonians have a day in the sun.

This is my FEAR anyway... that they'll take some passives away or dilute some passives to make them as weak as other races. I would rather they BUFF weaker ones- I would also they give more Magicka passives to other races as it sucks right now having only TWO races that are Magicka-centric while most of the others are Stamina. How about ZOS give every race both Magicka/Stamina passives so it opens more options for racial selection?!?

This is interesting. We're seeing just how imbalanced things really are by people's comments on here, fearful that their precious elves will be a little less OP.

I'm just worried that they won't do much at all and it will just be the same old minor percentage tweaks we've been seeing.

I don't know. Nothing much will probably change. Argonians will still suck and Elves will still melt your face.

This Nord hates the sun. You can give the Argonians that carcinogen.

As do the lizard-folk. Keep your scales moist, friend.

I foresee an ESO where racials are removed or so heavily nerfed to the ground that the difference between an Altmer and a Nord is to small to even care about over even be bothered with.

But then how will they push race change token sales?

How about the option, they will overly buff weaker races making them op but leave stronger races the same.

The last time they "balanced" racials the main change was a buff to high elves lol.
