Yes take everything people are saying as absolute fact. It's all true and you should be very afraid.

None of it's true. At least, not yet. We know absolutely nothing about it other than they're going to look over and change something with racials come Update 21; everyone's just freaking out over nothing and making sh-t up, going worst case scenario with it.

Weeellll.... in general.... I favor the worst-case option. Then if it doesn't happen I'm just really happy.

As long as the most boring class lore wise (argonians) are no longer the best class to play as, im not worried about it

Yes, they are re-balancing races in Update 21.

We don't have any details yet. If we go by past ZOS balance patches, expect a scorched earth approach where a few races (seemingly selected at random) are nerfed into oblivion (many of them having already been underperforming).

However, given their recent commitment to work more closely with the class reps, I am expecting a more tempered approach (or at least I hope that will be the case).

Maybe its a new system and we get some options. Would be nice

Just leave alone the lizards and the altmers. and buff the lesser non superior races

In anticipation I've diversified my portfolio, but I've also cancelled my recurring Plus subscription. If the change has a generally neutral impact on my efforts and time expended I'll resubscribe. If not, there're a handful of other games where my characters are maxed and remain ungimped. I get that most will put up with it because they cannot walk away from their investment; I'm simply not among them.

I hope they do as to all the rest of the races i hope they all do as well.

*cough*

A new approach is always and only the beginning of something new. Hence new approach.

I sense much more then getting less money on an Imperial. Thats why everyone should stick to truth and let them have a real insight...

Skander

I just hope that breton, nord and Imperial will get some rework.

^This.

Personally, the fact that they hired @ZOS_Gilliam alone gives me some hope. Well, some hope regarding balance and gameplay... Regarding bugs and lag, that's probably what will push me away from this game.

Well, Zos tends to do blanket nerfs and fixes so I guess you can expect that level of competence. At least after they are done messing things up as usual you can pull the blanket up over your eyes.
