How many racechanges will you commit with current Racial Passives notes?

Reistr_the_Unbroken

None.

maybe one, my Altmers, but I’m thinking of making him a Breton or wood elf, because Altmers don’t have black hair

kojou

2-3

As it is now...

Dunmer to Altmer

Wood Elf to Red Guard x2

Stratloc

None.

I must admit I lol'd at the guy claiming race changes are the death of ESO.

paulychan

0. Absolutely 0. It's a really obvious cash grab and, in all honesty, my toons can survive as any race with whatever changes. I'll spend my money on crack

jainiadral

None.

Zero, but I'm casual. I make what I want and what I haven't tried yet.

HazelRose

None.

I love the anger and pages of wrath in the forums compared to this poll. ZOS is greedy and intent on forcing everyone to change races. Poll: no one even cares about the changes enough to use their free race change.

Juju_beans

None.

None because I'm not a min/maxer.

CrimsonGTX

None.

I need no race changes, playing to the lore actually saved me the race swapping . All my magicka classes are High Elf or Breton and stam won't really change much for me.

UrQuan

None.

Definitely will not kill the game. I hate when people dive to extreme conclusions like this.

LOL dude were you around after the sorcerer nerfs? That almost killed this game and this is going to finish it.

I've been around for every single balance change this game has had since launch. Every single time there have been people on the forums and elsewhere spouting off that the changes would kill the game. Instead ESO gets healthier and healthier every year (well, it sure didn't in the first year, but since the sub-only model changed it's become healthier and healthier).

That doesn't mean that every balance change (or proposed balance change - there have been many that didn't make it to Live intact because players spoke up about them with well reasoned arguments) has been good. But there's effectively zero chance that these changes to racial passives will kill the game.

When there are significant balance changes the vast majority of players adapt. Some players leave. Some old players who previously left come back. And some brand new players come to the game (although this is hardly ever driven by balance changes - usually by new content or sales). The game lives on.

Jolipinator

None.

I voted none, but I may end up using the free token. I have 9 characters and will have 10 with the free character slot added with Elsweyr. I have 1 of every race except Bosmer, but I don't want a Bosmer Necromancer, so I might change the race of an existing character.

SydneyGrey

Just one.

Despite having a million characters, I'll probably only race-change one of them.

kypranb14_ESO

Just one.

I will use the free Race Change Token, any other characters that I want a performance increase/change for, will be recreated from scratch.

Loves_guars

None.

IDGAF

Ertosi

None.

None because I refuse to reward shady business practices such as this. This is just a shake up for the purposes of grabbing some extra cash from those that fall for it. The more that reward them by buying those tokens afterwards, the more often they are going to shake things up. That last round of sustain nerfs that happened not too long ago must have worked out very well for them for us to be going through this again so soon.

I've got a full roster of toons (see sig) with all races represented (except Breton and Imperial) and every one of them are being negatively impacted from these changes for their builds and roles, mostly because of the universal max stat nerf these overall changes represent.

Caligamy_ESO

Just one.

My Altmer magsorc is still fine, I think my bosmer stamsorc is better off now?, but my dunmer dk will probably get the free change token. It makes it an easier decision for me which characters I am going to delete to make room for magicka, stamina, tank, and healer Necro slots though so theres that...

I think its a really crappy move on ZOS's part in a long long looooooong line of really crappy moves to make fundamental race changes and only allow for 1 free race change and expect players to foot the bill at $30 a pop to fix their flip flopping and indecision. Add on top of that many will probably not have 'Any Race, Any Alliance' and find out the race they're trying to change to needs another purchase.

Its a shame whats becoming of Bethesda and Zenimax.

Nestor

None.

None.

One of the huge benefits of not being a slave to the Meta is none of these changes ever have all that big an impact on me, if there is any impact at all.

The last update that had any effect on me was 1.6 which focused attributes.

96% Rules!!!

sp_korshun

None.

None, cause i don't want to pay Zo$ for their dumb pseudobalance changes. Every dlc we can see that they aren't play their game at all and want only to make money via chapters and crown store.

xan4silkb14_ESO

None.

I don't pick the race for the passives. Besides, I haven't even maxed out my character slots yet, so if I absolutely need a certain race after these changes I'll make a new character.

The majority of players don’t come on the forums, they don’t choose race based on stats, they choose based on looks. So, it sounds like he is accurately representing a large part of the player base.

Sylvermynx

None.

I'm not changing any of my girls - I have some of everything, and that won't change. I'm not a min/max player, and I'm not into group content where it matters (due to 2k ms lag, and just all around don't like grouping).

Knightpanther

None.

My main and only character is an Imperial, nothing they have changed will male me race change away.

Be safe

Imryll

None.

I race changed one character in WoW and regretted it because she seemed to lose her identity. I wouldn't race change again. If any of my characters proves dysfunctional, I'm most likely to shelve them until something changes. Of course, I only have four characters, so I have plenty of open slots for rerolls.

Thorstienn

None.

None of mine need it. I dont chase the meta, especially when it comes to something so insubstantial as race.
I make my characters to a theme first, optimization second.

richo262

Just one.

I'm contemplating my Dunmer, he is a magDK, so unless DK gets a buff, or Dunmer passives get revised, I'll probably change him out. I'm not changing a thing based on paper, I'll see what he is like in practice after the patch. On paper though, my magDK now sucks.

eso_nya

None.

I pick(ed) races for looks.
Is kinda hard to nerf magicka bosmer with racial changes.

Nestor

None.

Not sure how you came up with that. I answered the question posed by the thread and gave my reason why.

Now, a better translation would be, the race passives change are really not that big a deal, they are affecting everyone. ZOS has all the math, they see the numbers and like it or not, there is pretty good balance in this game. Otherwise, everyone would play the exact same build. Yes, of course competitive trials has some constraints and need more focused builds, even then, I bet most don't change, as, again, these changes affect everyone. So, a rising tide raises all ships, so an ebbing tide lowers all of them

Crixus8000

Just one.

I only play one char anyway really, and now I have even less reason to play the rest since they will all be the wrong best race choice.

DeadlyRecluse

Just one.

If it goes live as-written, just one. At least at first.

Of my 10 vet toons, I only use 2-3 per patch, so for now I'm fine. At some point I may have to swap another couple around, but who knows.

Dark_Lord_Kuro

None.
