The update 21 race changes have been described loosely (see the pinned official thread on the front page). Will you be race changing characters? If so, how many? If not, why not?

    None if they aren't all for free. Most people don't want to pay for something that shouldn't have been poorly balanced from the beginning and I agree with them.

    I wanted one of my guys to be a Khajiit but he has a pure magicka build. He won't be top meta but now at least he'll be viable for what I do with him so I love it! Can't wait to change him to a fur ball.

    This is the fate of the game and of the ESO Universe. Across Nirn the dark forces have conspired to weaken Men,Mer and Beastfolk. It is all part of Molag Bals grand scheme. You cannot change it so why fight it.
    You are all on a treadmill. While you happily invested more and more points into damage and sustain. ZOS was busy nerfing Helping Hands passive from DK, Leeching strikes passive from nightblade, dark deal from sorc. Making class abilities more homogenized and less unique, all to pay for the power gained by the champion system.

    Will race change one of my Khajiit to Khajiit to change appearance.
    Don't think that count as an race change however.

    none. since someone asked me to post my opinion here. I will.

    I completely disagree with ZOS's stance on this subject. It seems similar to a bait and switch tactic. It's one thing to open a crown store so people can willy nilly change something from their side and a whole other thing to charge for things that they I completely disagree with ZOS's stance on this subject. It seems similar to a bait and switch tactic. It's one thing to open a crown store and another thing to charge for things that they (ZOS)caused to change.

    When class ability changes came they weren't all game breaking. Yet because the skill changes only cost gold it was given almost for free, and sometimes they were just flat out reset. So now because tokens are RL money and not gold they want to cash in. I think not and definitely not to this extreme. Even at a reduced price these would be ridculously expensive for people with a full load of chars, and this isn't a burden the players should be carrying at all.

    Unfortunately, I must agree with the majority on this one.

    They can't say "ok. You're paying for the dlc's and expansions, and now pay for something we (ZOS)changed in them."
    The point remains that they changed the races and people should be able to change to whatever they want regardless of reason for free.
    1 time change per char for free.

    The change is too costly to push on the player base and will cost more than the expansion itself for those who already have many chars which a lot of players do.

    They even comment that people may have made these races to be competitive with those passives available to them and now they should feel they can play what they want, but it's going to cost them. Why? They should've always been able to play what they want "without being at a disadvantage". I do get they want the changes, and so do we. That normally wouldn't be a problem, but the entire change stems from their balancing problems from the beginning. So no. It shouldn't rest on the players to pay extra for those changes. This is just imho.

    Have some insightfuls y'all.

    More or less I don't do endgame leaderboard pve pushes, so...not a big deal to me. I'm honestly kinda sensitive to people that have had to deal with not one, but two race overhauls. I plan on reworking my main character to a necromancer, so trust me when I say I'm going to feel that grind.

    I'll use the free token they give. But these changes should give a free token for every char you have, and have a time limit after that they expire.
    They should make it like the reduce cost of respec when they do major changes. I will never ever pay 3000 crowns for a change made by the company. Even if it is sold with a discount of 80%.

    I don't chase meta, and I actually like my Breton Warden (the only character I play). Also, I doubt I'll even play much any more since I can't do group dungeons which precludes playing the upcoming content.

    Zero chance... I use my eso membership crowns for crates and furnishings but the misplaced value shown toward crowns with regards to really insignificant things such as outfits slots (which is an average of 12.50 while not on sale which is rare), resetting attributes and skills to name a few. I mean we actually have to pay gold or buy slots to change the appearance of our outfits. A lot of times it doesn't look right after you walk away from the crowded outfit station to view it and then go back to fix it only to pay more gold. But wait now my weapon color is wrong so now more gold........ Why is this something to charge us for? But wait you say you weren't sure what you were doing early on with skills and attributes or would just like to move some around? No problem just give us more gold or buy crowns... EVERYTHING DOESN'T HAVE TO REQUIRE CURRENCY!!!
