Racial Ultimates?

The_Protagonist

Just found this on Youtube, I am not very well versed in lore, but is this something that can come in ESO's future?

Thoughts?

We had them in beta, but they were removed in later beta tests for some reason...

What a shame

Here's the info from back in time. Some of these looked cool but obviously needed work on:

If I recall, non-disclosure agreement was still in effect at the time of racial ultimates, so it is a bit difficult to dig up.

Managed to come across a fansite forum page from September 2013 that listed the following as information released at a PAX though:

Argonian
Ultimate: Histskin - Health regen increased by 100 for 15 sec.

Dark Elf
Ultimate: Ancestral Guardian
15 seconds, activated can taunt

Nord
Ultimate: Battle Cry 7% AE damage increase anyone in area, activated


Further in the thread also lists the following without refrence:

Breton
Ultimate
Dragonskin - Absorb magic damage up to 50

Redguard
Ultimate
Adrenaline Rush - Increase stamina regeneration by 100 for 15 seconds

Orcs
Ultimate
Bezerker Rage - Increase damage by 50% for 15 seconds

Bosmer
Ultimate
Command Animals - Summon animal aid for 15 seconds

Khajiit
Ultimate
Reflexes - Increase movement speed by 20 for 15 seconds

Altmer
Ultimate
Highborn - Increase in magic regeneration by 100 for 15 seconds


They look familiar to me though.

Don't forget, at the time of these abilities they were removed before the game even launched.

Also they had soft caps on most of your stats. If you hit a certain amount you got capped and anything else you added had severe diminishing effects.

Also remember that stats used to be 1/10th what they are now, so those regen 100 ultimates would be 1000 regen today.

Lol. The Altmer ult would be 1k magicks regen now.

But seriously, much of that is lack luster and do not really see a need. Just because something can be done doesn't mean it should be.

I would really like Iron-Heel's kick from Blackheart Haven as the Argonian racial ultimate.

I know, I meant it more in a way that it is funny that 3 year old beta, pre beta time ultimates would even in this age enhance the meta races and made fun of the offmeta. It is poetic.

This is SPARTA!!!! err... This is BLACK MARSH!!!

Would be kind of cool. BUT I don't know how you keep them diverse as the races and balanced. We're going to find if one is very effective Everyone will be that race. If one sucks *** nobody will choose that race to play. So while I like the idea It just seems a recipe for disaster if it's not done right.

agreed, that would really force each race into very specific roles.

That bosmer ultimate....if only.

That's what got me thinking...Would be amazing in PVP when a Zerg comes up against small Bosmer suicide group.

Tasear

I think bosmer is only one who lost though as others are rehashed. It would nice if bosmer got lore friendly boost when using pets.

Yes adding Animal companion passive as well as a buff to Archery for Bosmers is very much needed, rather than just stamina regen.
