Bought a race change and its bogus!
So bought a race change and come to find out its very very limited. Decided I wanted to keep my main class but change to a Khajit. Well its not allowed because I was a Dark Elf. So now im stuck with this race change token and cant even change it to race I want. No disclaimer really. But this sucks would like my tokens back.

I wonder what will happen when they give us free tokens. Will we be limited to our alliance? -

Buy "any race, any alliance" and then pick the race you want. -

✭✭✭✭✭Honestly saying this is another rip-off.. given that people will want to change from dunmer to other magicka race, they ALL will be forced to buy "any race any alliance" after already buying racial change token >< -

Did ZOS say they were going to hand out race/name change tokens?

They said they are going to give 1 free race change token later.
But I'm worried that most of us will face the same BS as OP. -

Nope, if you are mDK then simply switch to allied nord DK tank which will be excellent after changes. 15% dps became tanks, all problems with queue solved! -
desciviib14_ESO✭✭✭I can't believe there are players that are still Alliance limited. You are just as limited now as you were when you made the original toon.There is nothing here of interest to any nations; as a matter of fact, there is nothing here but people. -

The change I plan to do involves switching EP to AD, so unless that token allows that, I'll have to buy that upgrade and this fact doesn't make me happy. -

Note that changing race to Altmer or Khajiit will not move you to AD faction. You will stay pact. the any race any aliance simply let you use other than your faction races.StormChaser3000 wrote: »MartiniDaniels wrote: »StormChaser3000 wrote: »You need any race any alliance upgrade.

So you can not use it to join pvp guilds, you have to create an new character for this, is in this setting myself.

And a name change as well if the name doesn't fit the race anymore.

This is the Crown Store description for Race Change Token. It's very vague, ZOS should expect some negative feedback when people realize the limitation - because it is not clearly stated.
If the "free" race change has the same limitations for players without the Adventurer Pack, they need to clarify that right now - because it's going to be ugly.Edited by anadandy on January 17, 2019 4:39PM -
desciviib14_ESO✭✭✭Yeah, It ought to include something like 'Alliance Restrictions may apply'Edited by desciviib14_ESO on January 17, 2019 4:41PMThere is nothing here of interest to any nations; as a matter of fact, there is nothing here but people.

Whaaat?? That's lame. Those tokens are even more functionally limited than I thought.
Thank you for the info. I didn't know that.

But if you don't have any race, any alliance then you are limited and were always limited.
I'm a fairly new player and I knew that you can only change race within your faction.

✭✭✭✭✭Any race any alliance needs to get the axe. Makes no sense since One Tamriel. Just get rid of it already.
It didn't make much sense before One Tamriel honestly. You can see NPCs of all races in all 3 alliances and it's relatively rare that anyone comments on it (there are some quests where it comes up, but more often than not they're treated like anyone else).
As I remember it this was a late addition by ZOS - during the early betas there was no way to pick a race which didn't match your alliance and then when pre-orders become available ZOS announced that pre-purchase copies of the game would include Any Race in Any Alliance.
My best guess is that ZOS thought the Alliance War would be a major feature of the game for most players and they'd take it, and the lore behind it, seriously and want their race to match their Alliance. Whereas I suspect in reality dedicated PvPers first priority is having the best race for their build, regardless of the team colour they picked and people who are interested in the lore want the freedom to create and play any kind of character they want, with any backstory they want, including an 'outsider'.
(I could also believe they planned to sell it from the beginning, but that would involve believing they always planned to make the game buy-to-play and introduce the crown store and telling early adopters a subscription was the best system for the game they wanted to make and it would always get you access to everything in the game was a flat-out lie.)PC EU player. | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

Having it as an separate item in crown store on the other hand had been nice especially for players who has an old character and just getting into pvp by a guild. And something who should be an crone store item to limit jumping.
And don't commit an race change yet. First it will be changes, probably not much, but as I read here, Dummer might get an buff, Redguards might get an small nerf. else it can be some minor adjustments but we never know with ZoS.
Just as important its not live yet and will not be for an month or more.
And yes Argonian and Khajiit can confuse a bit, was killed by blue Khajiit twice, once during the event then I saw an Khajiit and ignored him so he burned me. Long ago did town quests and saw an friendly tail and ran over, he probably thought I was attacking to killed me
Argonian are even better because their tail is more visible.Edited by zaria on January 17, 2019 5:34PM
