Racial rebalance: new passives or just percentage adjustments?
Junkogen
✭✭✭✭✭
During ESO Live 16, they said there would be a racial rebalance with the first major content release after console. What do you think that will look like? Will any races get completely new passives or will there just be some percentage adjustments? What will this "rebalance" look like?
I would like to see something meaningful considering that resource boosts contribute pretty significantly now that soft caps have been removed. Some races are pretty gimped compared to others.
Will the OP Argonian swim speed finally get that long-awaited nerf? I can't believe people have tolerated this for so long.

golfer.dub17_ESO✭✭✭✭Who knows.
Personally just hope they rework the entire system. You shouldn't have such large imbalance when it comes to resource pools, races should be defined in other ways.
Pick Argonian, because swim speed is totally worth giving up +22% of your main stats for...Edited by golfer.dub17_ESO on May 11, 2015 11:04PM1 -
Darkeus✭✭✭i think they will make op racials for unplayed races , so they can sell race change tickets easier hiding behind the reason that "we want race diversity" but imo most racials are fine, few racials skills need rework and adjustments, i think all races should have a racial stat either 10% hp, stam or magika and some other lore related skills like d elf - fire def, nord - cold def, etc0 -

What do you think they would do that would make them OP? My fear is that they'll just tweak them a little and leave in place the ones with marginal utility.0 -

I hope they rework the whole thing, as well. It's annoying to see most builds recommending Imperial, Dark Elf, or High Elf.
What do you think would be a good way to rework it?1 -
bloodenragedb14_ESO✭✭✭✭✭i want a racial ultimate for each race. like dunmer can summon a ancestral wraith, altmer unlimited magicka for a time, nords battle roar, you know, those skills in other TES games that were attached to races that somehow didnt make it into eso3 -

Fair enough.

Every race except Imperial should either get +10% to a single stat or +6% to two stats.
Giving Nords, Argonians, and Khajiit an actual bonus to resources isn't going to make them OP.
Next step is to rework the flavor passives to be more significant and more unique.
More stealth damage? Bonus gains from potions? Frost Resistance? Poison Resistance? Who cares?
This step is probably the most important because it's at the heart of the issue. Some races trade stats for flavor passives instead, only their passives aren't worth it. A Khajiit gives up any buff to resources for a bit of critical chance and stealth detection reduction. How worthless. My NORD has 70% crit already.Edited by golfer.dub17_ESO on May 12, 2015 2:35AM0 -

I really hope they don't just nerf everything so all the races are functionally the same.
What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
That's right... Horse.

Argonians for lyfe. My main has been one since beta, early access, and still is the same character. They already ruined our passives with the potion passive stopped giving ult.
