Junkogen✭✭✭✭✭I want to change my race, even if racials are balanced without big changes.Why don't they just balance the racials? It's not hard. Give every race a 10% boost to magicka or stamina, some regen or something, and then add some fluff crap like increased swim speed, and some inferior resistance like to frost or disease and call it a day. At least the character has increased resources in some fashion.
Just look at what people pick and for what reasons, that's what people want. They want the big resource boosts. So make other races have similar benefits while keeping some of the more useless passives for flavor.Edited by Junkogen on April 29, 2015 12:15AM1 -

The thing is that it gives an opening for this to become, in a extreme scenario a P2W, if they decide to 'balance' some classes and one ends up OP for something, then everyone will pay, and change, then, after a couple weeks, they nerf that race, and people have to change back, and so on.... it's already either imperials, dunmer or altmer in Cyrodiil...
But then again, people reroll and grind just as easily... not really that much of a big deal then...
Thing is, i have no problem if the change is merely cosmetic. and you keep your racials, and you just 'look like' the other race, like that dunmer from Reaper's March that makes a potion that turned him into an Argonian.. then It's okay, all fun and games.... Mai cave. >:32 -

Ajaxduo✭✭✭✭✭I want to change my race, even if racials are balanced without big changes.More options and versatility is never a bad thing. Racial changes, appearance changes, etc are in my opinion what should be a 'standard' option in an MMO. Being able to alter things however small freshens up the games environment and offers players another way to support ESO now that a subscription isn't required. I would like to add that If the majority of ESO's community is concerned about racial imbalance in favour of percentage stat increasing passives then maybe they should alter how the bonuses work, not completely remove them. Make Tough, Conditioning and Gift of Magnus available to all races. But, still keep one or two passives unique to a race to keep ESO reminiscent of other a Elder Scrolls games. Bretons keep Magicka Mastery, Imperials keep Red Diamond, Redguards keep Adrenaline Rush, etc. To be honest they could take this opportunity to expand on racial passives.- - -

They should only do that if they remove "Elder Scrolls" from the game's title at the same time.1 -

✭I won't use, and don't want to see race changes.They should add a racial ulti like in the Es games. Orc with Berserk, Darkelf with cloak, Well imperial with a uselles ***, Woodelf wich can make a pet to follow you (in teso for ever until it dies) and so on.
IF they do this they also have to add the malus a racial has.
altmer is the ultimativ magica class, but has a huge malus on strengh (hp) and Speed.#makemagickadkgreataigan

Divad Zarn✭✭✭I want to change my race, even if racials are balanced without big changes.Eh and what about players who want to change their race only cuz they want to enjoy other race as RP part? Pointless, there should be race/appearance/fraction changes because people tastes get change by time/game progression and we should not be forced to lvl up another character ONLY because we dont like our currect character appearance/race.0 -
byrom101b16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭I want to change my race, even if racials are balanced without big changes.With significant class changes, significant core mechanic changes and everyone who is concerned about optimisation having to jump around like a cat on a hot tin roof to adjust, racial change options only make sense UNLESS they rebalance the races better.
As a Breton Sorcerer, I find my 3% spell reduction rather poor now compared to the Altmer passive for damage in the new uncapped world.
With CP allowing me to gallop over the tipping point between magicka budgeting in long fights to 'ease of supply', it means less and less as time goes on. But the Altmer passive continues to deliver strong benefit.
This irritates me no end.
But I would be feeling considerably worse if I was for instance playing an Argonian!
I once suggested on a now buried thread that probably the most elegant way to resolve this was to offer 'racial cross training' quests for races to learn some of the other races passives within an Alliance. Then people could tweak their characters and not feel so disadvantaged.
But whatever happens - something needs to give to deal with this now considerable imbalance.0 -
Olivierko✭✭✭I want to change my race, even if racials are balanced without big changes.The only reason I'm for a racial change service is the fact that some races have superior passives for certain builds.
I've always played Khajiits, so both my characters are cats, a DK and a NB.
The problem with the Khajiit race is the fact that it's missing flat bonuses to attributes whilst some other classes offer +10% or more.
Implementing a sub-racial or something similar where you could pick between different passive setups would suit me well (which I highly doubt that ZOS is working on) rather than having to change race and most likely name.
A fair first balance would be to ensure that all races have some flat bonus to attributes now when the soft caps are removed, unfortunately, races matter a lot and they will matter even more once/if we max out our champion points.
With that being said, I'd rather see cats and lizards have their passives re-done than to reroll Breton/Imperial.Edited by Olivierko on April 29, 2015 8:50AMAddons: ★ Pointificator ★ Raidificator ★- Dar'diov ★ AvA 25 ★ Nightblade

Milktray✭✭✭I won't use, but don't care if they add race changes.Better they put race changes in the store than xp potions
A race change doesn't exactly get you anywhere faster and seeing the prices on the Crown store it'd probably cost enough that you only use it if you have to. Race/Gender change won't change things much but bring in revenue they 'might' use to fix bugs, get out new content
Notice i did say 'might' lolZoS please understand everyone thinks and pronounces things differently, so please add to your 'rules' that things get removed if the Mod doesn't actually quite understand phrasing0 -

You can't use slippery slope arguments. Passives are why people want race change, and why ZOS is going to implement them. No one wants to grind to VR14 to change their race (especially now that they nerfed all griding spots). I will buy race change day 1 no matter the cost and so will many others, that is why it's going to happen.1 -

Pretty much this is why they won't balance the passives.
People are lining up right now with their money in their hands to switch to Imperial and Altmer.0 -

I will not give up on my Argonian! Even if I am the only one left standing and crowds gather round to point and laugh at the dummy who still plays an Argonian.Rook_Master wrote: »They should completely redo the way racial passives work, so you get to pick from a pool.
You get to pick:
1. Attribute bonus
a. 10% health
b. 10% magicka
c. 10% stamina
2. Regen bonus
a. 10% health
b. 10% magicka
c. 10% stamina
You don't get to pick:
3. Racial Flavor
a. Orc Charge
b. Dunmer Fire Resist
c. Khajiit stealth damage bonus
It boggles my mind that people are in favor of race changes without balancing the passives or revamping them.
Argonians will go extinct.
I like your suggestion much better since it keeps a little racial flavor for the character but allows selection of more appropriate build passives. Slurg would not have to be so lonely if something like this was implemented.Happy All the Holidays To You and Yours!

I'd want to see how many people would change their races then.
But hey, why are we even bothering with this, again.. If a Motif goes for 5.000 Crowns...
how much would this go for? 8.000? 10.000? I'd like to see just that

If you didn't care, you wouldn't post here. Simple as that.Where is the "I don't care" option.
Bias, much?

By saying that you play a Nord at least. Not a Khajiit or Argonian.

Too lazy!? I am too lazy because I don't want to spend 14 days of actual time (probably more since all grid spots were nerfed to H***) to do all the quests that I have already done once, just to reach VR14, and THEN go into PvP to level my alliance skill line to get all the needed alliance war skills like vigor, magicka detonation, and all the needed passives. This makes me 'too lazy'!? I am sorry that I have a family, a job, a dog, own a home, and have other responsibilities. I am sorry, but I have played my current character for 9 months and I STILL don't have all the skills I need/want to be 100% effective in end game. I am not lazy, I am being realistic!
Besides all that, some people like me don't even like to have alts, they enjoy playing with one character as it is a representation of them in game. People change, and so do their tastes/ styles... this is why all MMO's offer something like this in them. Let me enjoy the game the way I want, and I will let you enjoy it the way you want.1 -
ThisOnePosts✭✭✭✭✭I won't use, but don't care if they add race changes.Who cares? Why do YOU care what other people do? If they can hop up and down non-stop forever, what's game breaking about them changing their own characters? Whoever voted for the 1st option, must really be fun at parties.
