DTStormfox✭✭✭✭✭No, don't add new racesLet them first balance the existing classes before introducing a new one.1 -
Gravord✭✭✭✭✭YesPassives like the dunmer's but with shock instead of fire would make sense and be pretty balanced imo.
Passives like dunmer but with shock would be perfect. Small problem only is that so far they were presented as antagonist in multiple zones and replaying those zones as Maormer could feel a bit odd. ZOS would make lot of money for selling new meta race for sorcs which are half the game population already

I think you don't, only ESO has Maormer, they are mentioned only in the Elder Scrolls series. Ofc nothing except Sony to stop you modding them into those games.
ESO has already jumped the lore shark with vampires running around embarrassing themselves as if they were always everyone's best friend without an evil Mer race that in the latest DLC caused all kinds of spoilerish murder on Summerset cos green Romeo had a tryst with blue Juliet. It seems the desire not to even tolerate the existence of each other goes both ways. If we then allow Maormer to be running around we might as well allow anyone on undead mounts with mushroom crabs following them wearing pink shorts and a sorting hat....oh wait....Edited by yiasemi on August 13, 2018 10:28AM1 -

✭✭✭✭OtherNo, don't add Maormer. I'm OK with new races being added if they are lore friendly and fill a gap in the meta game. Maormer are just far too much like High elves to bring anything really new or interesting to the game.PC EU1 -

✭OtherI'll be content with pairing my oracle eyes with the new Maormer fish skin once that gets released. If someone calls me a High Elf I'll pretend that I'm using illusion magic to hide my true form. Although, I wish there was an option to combine any of the 4 appearances of vampirism with collectible skins. Then I could use the stage 1 appearance with the Maormer fish skin to really look genuine.(AD) Artim X/Xirtām/Måtrix |PC/NA| Casual staff wielding vampire sorcerer/templar/arcanistElectric-Stunhttps://media.giphy.com/media/Av0zcKH3i2BkaY1GXW/giphy.gif/https://c.tenor.com/jQHdFftrgwMAAAAC/tenor.gifElectric-Pets- Roleplay Damage Dealing Build.

Witchmother's Potent Brew (Increase Max Magicka by 2856, Max Health by 3094, and Magicka Recovery by 315 for 2 hours.
- Trash Potions when feeling cheap: Regular CP150 Essence of Magicka pots that I obtain frequently from playing the game or Crown Tri-Restoration Potion obtained from dailies.
- Crafted Potions: Essence of Spell Critical (Bugloss, Lady's Smock, and Water Hyacinth). Without magelight this is my primary means of obtaining Major Prophecy on my Sorc, which increases my Spell Critical Rating. This also heals and restores magicka. Essence of Immovability (Columbine, Corn Flower, and Wormwood). I use this in PvP, since this gives me stealth detection, knockback immunity, and restores magicka (better to use it when competent allies are nearby, since it might reveal that you are surrounded by multiple players in stealth and you will not have an emergency pot available after use). Essence of Invisibility with only 2 ingredients (Blue Entoloma, Namira's Rot, Nirnroot, or Spider Egg). I use this in PvE content that requires stealth and if I need more speed I'll use Rapid Maneuver before using the potion. Essence of Invisibility with 3 ingredients (Blessed Thistle, Blue Entoloma, and Namira's Rot). Very useful in PvP alongside the vampire Dark Stalker passive, since you'll be invisible, ignore movement speed penalty while in Crouch, and you'll have a 30% movement speed boost from Major Expedition (I always have this slotted when riding from point A to B in PvP land, since gankers are always lurking). My templar/arcanist will mostly use Essence of Health (Tri-Stat Potion) Ingredients: (Mountain Flower, Columbine, and Bugloss).

TheShadowScout✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭YesAs I keep saying... https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/422285/new-player-race-possibilities/p1
Orcs and Imperials used to be "enemies" back in TES:Arena and TES-II:Daggerfall. Just sayin.Please never let the enemies of Tamriel become playable. They are enemies and be it thus.
Imperials -are- enemies at this time as well, as anyone who played through Bangkorai or Reapers March will attest to. But we can still play a deserter from the imperial lands if we pay the crown store unlock... I really see no reason why we could not do the same for a maormer who for some reason got exiled from pyandonea (maybe for thinking their fellow maormer are hatemongering jerks? We -do- know from a certain summerset quest that there are exceptions to the "maormer live only to hate all altmer" rule, yes?)
That is what I am thinking as well...Passives like dunmer but with shock would be perfect.
Unfortunately those are out of the question, since they have gone extinct for all practical purposes ages ago - long before the war of red mountain, the disappearance of the dwemer and the transformation of chimer into dunmer....i'd rather Snow Elves personally.
While the maormer are still around and annoying the altmer with every tide...1 -

Sorry just found this, no, just no. It's possible you were using mods. Or something else. Look, who has found the three sea elves in Summerset somewhere up in the mountains debating how to get back to where they are supposed to be (one of the invasion fleets). Absolutely hilarious and heartbreaking.They discuss fancy dress (sarcastically ignoring their other differences), getting to the sea and killing one of them (the fancy dress guy) to use his rotting and bloated corpse as a floating raft and so on. If Altmer barely tolerate other Mer, they are positively homicidal to Popeyeandoneans. These three castaways are certain that their lives are measured in hours and minutes now.

dtsharples✭✭✭✭✭I don't think that we need a new race specifically. But maybe we could have a skill-line based around the Maormer.
I'm not sure how realistic it would be in the timeline, but maybe some of the Maormer defected and made it to the main cities and can teach some of their skills to others.
You get the Maormer 'illusion' visual appearance and a new mini skill-line focused on water / storm abilities.
A Sea Serpent ultimate that would heal / buff allies but damage enemies would also be cool.
Just 3 skills and an Ulti maybe with a couple of passives, to add to your existing build.
I know it wouldn't really work lore-wise though, but we can always dream

Tasear✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭I hope you don't judge me, but I would discriminate and hate on all Maormer players. Maormer are disgusting, evil and misguided. I won't go into detail. But if you consider Maormer as good or desireable, then you literally don't deserve to reside on Tamriel and should be sent to these god forsaken wastes of Pyandonea.
They openly admit, that their VERY EXISTENCE is exlusively to seek revenge against the Altmer and try to conquer Summerset, because it is so much better than their island. Sorry, but living in existence of hate, vengeance and envy can hardly be anyone's desire.
What I want to say: Please never let the enemies of Tamriel become playable. They are enemies and be it thus.
I don't know ambition for a better life for their people kinda of sounds noble no?1 -

Tai-Chi✭✭✭✭No, don't add new races
I voted "No" because adding any new race (Including Maormer) does not fit in with the history of Tamriel - in the way it has been revealed to us so far.
Each of the 3 Alliances has a story in the background as to how it came in to being and there is a reason behind its exsitence. The Maormer and other races did not play a part in these formation stories and therefore, they do not belong in any Alliances.
There are also 3 Races in each Alliance, so introducing just one new race would unbalance the whole game.
