How many toons will you race change?

DocFrost72

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?

Didn’t someone just make this exact thread?

Can you link it?

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.

Unironically ironic other option

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

Maybe make my Altmer into a wood or Breton, because altmers can’t have black hair, and the lighting in the creation mode sucks

No plans to change races at this time. I might create new characters, though.

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.

One... unless they give me more racechange tokens. Im not going to buy race changes with crowns.

Michae

Unironically ironic other option

I'll just change my Nord into Nord but with different hair (since the one now messes with hats, and I'm using crown store wig) and no tattoos (since I use cs ones and rp wise would be better to be able to go "bare").

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%.

None. I just don't care anymore. I'll make do with what I have. The only one I would change is my dark elf. And that is because I lost the fire damage. He's a MagDK. But eff it. It's whatever. Zo$ does what Zo$ does.

None, I'm happy with with all my chars.

Skwor

None

In the aggregate few if any should really need to change

DarknDarker

None

None. In the first place I don't care too much abot being "meta", it tends to suck to fun out of a game when everyone is playing cookiecutter builds. Besides, I would never even consider it without a name change to with it

mxxo

None

I love my chars. Its not only about numbers. But i am rly mad that Dunmer is now obsolete for PVE.

Odovacar

None

I'll adapt and overcome as I always do. Plus, everything is preliminary for now so, lets see how PTS plays out etc.

theskymoves

None

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.

DR4GONFL1

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!!!

I voted no simply because I pick the race based on if I like said race, their lore, etc. and not because of their stats.

None. I have no toons in this game, only characters

negbert

I was going to change one of my characters for RP reasons anyway. The passive changes make no difference to me as a casual player
