Will You be changing races?

PS4_ZeColmeia

Let's see what the population is going to shift to!

Unfortunately you only get 10 options so I can't put up I'm staying the same race. If you have multiple characters, select your main character

Voxicity

I will not

SantieClaws

No.

Khajiit is purrrfectly perfect as she is.

Nope. Price is too high to do any of these changes. Changing race would require a name change also and there is just no way on Nirn I am shelling out 3500 crowns to do it. That's insane.

I can't imagine anyone actually wanting to waste crowns on a race change. I mean, it takes less than 5 minutes of research to know what an optimal build is if you're that sort of player, and even less time to pick your favorite if you're not.

khajiit never called me back for our first date. This one is going to try khajiit's luck with the green underbites.

For me, I run one character (320 sp) and played since PS4 launch. My build today and even the racial passives have changed pretty significantly since launch.

IcyDeadPeople

Initially I had planned to change a few characters and even change the same character multiple times to try different build ideas.

As the token is a bit more expensive than I had hoped, going to wait a while for further racial passive balance changes and perhaps some sort of discount sale on the tokens at some point.

If the racial balance doesn't change much from what it has been, then a few stamina characters I will change to Redguard and some magicka characters I will change to Altmer.

It's not quite a matter of the player failing to invest 5 minutes in researching races when creating the characters. Initially racial passives didn't make as much difference due to softcaps.

Not only do some of these passives now make a much bigger difference without softcaps, but also many of the racial passives have changed and will likely continue to change.

There are some who have put in 1 - 2 years on a character, playing massive numbers of hours to reach alliance rank grand overlord for example, maxed undaunted mettle or unlock many achievements etc. The announcement got a lot of people thinking they'd have a chance to try other builds with that character they've invested so much time into, and there are some builds out there which are only possible with one or two specific races.

You know the heart of this one it beats only for Bumnog. No other orc can take his place.

Not changing race on any characters. Some (like my nord sorc) may not be 'optimal' but its who they are, and to me to change this would be like playing a completely different character..

daswahnsinn

...to Nord

I'll not be changing but since there was no option for not so I chose what I am know.

Paulington

...to Altmer

Breton Sorcerer to Altmer, yep.

altemriel

...to Redguard

yep , even if my high elf is pretty hot, she is a stam DK, so she will get a plastic surgery to become a redguard (because of the racial passives ofc.)

I suppose that can be true of some builds, I tend to be more stubborn and if something about my build has changed (I've had a DK magicka build since Beta) I just stick with it and consider new ways to do what I was doing before. I dunno, I just always figure its like rolling up a new character in my gaming group, no one asks the GM for a race change, they grab a new sheet and crack open the book.

TheHsN

of course not with that prices

Helgi_Skotina

No. A race change is against the lore and agains brains.

Same, it's not needed to play, but it will optimize mine a lot

Daemons_Bane

Always been a Khajiit, always will be

Tandor

Good grief no, there's no way I'd want to change anything about my characters.

Kas

...to Khajiit

my pve stam dk (was created as imperial because I though he was gonan be a PvP char) will become khajit,
all other chars will remain for now.

however, i got two of each. I will no longer maintain a magicka/stamina categorization but pvp/pve. If I feel a different archetype (stam/mag) is better for pve/pvp, I'll change races accordingly. It just feels terrible to advance a char from alliance rank 25 to 26 when you have another one of the same calss sitting at 39, waiting to finally advance into star-territory

jedtb16_ESO

no.... can roll any race anyway.

stevepdodson_ESO888

cheaper to buy a new character slot and level it up in a few days....that way you can chose the race you want, the name you want and the appearance you want all in one

initially i was going to change my magicka Templar to Altmer (I made it a Redguard about 2 years ago), but recently I have just been levelling up the Stam morphs and the weaps of choice and will just pay some in-game gold to re-spec into a Stamplar

freespirit

I have a Redguard DK who I never play because I was intending to go stamina but found I hated the lack of skill choices at that time.

So I am a bit undecided as to whether I will change her to a race more suited to magicka or attempt my first ever, anywhere, any game, Tank build.

Probably will switch to magicka because I'm pretty sure that's how I leveled her, it's been so long I cannot remember!

WuffyCerulei

...to Khajiit

I am loyal to my khajiit, so I can't! The races they are all match their characters, even my Altmer temp. Being based off one of my characters in Dragon Age Inquisition, being a mage and healer suits him well.

Dark_Aether

Why there isn't a "No" option?

Better yet, make it "Hell No!"

Icy_Waffles

Hell no. Way too expensive, I'd rather delete character and make another.

Master_Kas

Wanted to change two char races, but with these prices it will only be one : <

Was thinking of these:
My AD nightgblade from bosmer to breton (don't like the elf look except bosmers)
My AD dk from dark elf to redguard (because FOTM)

Pandorii

Maybe if crowns are half off, for one character. 3000 is way too expensive.

svartorn

...To Breton

I'm gonna change my gender and make my name Mike Pence just because I know the concept of it would make him furious.
