The FUTURE of Racial Passives and Race Changes

Recently I heard that ESO mentioned adjusting the racial passives for Nords, Orc, Khajiit, and Argonian.
Ive heard the Orcs will get a bonus similar to Imperial, and then like a 4% increased melee damage bonus. I haven't heard anything about the other races yet. Have you? Any word yet on race changes via crown store?

I can answer that part. They've said during a reddit AMA and an ESO Live that those will only come after all the racial passive "tweaking" is finished.Any word yet on race changes via crown store?English is not my first language, Finnish is.
Please don't heap on me for grammar problems.0 -

I thought it was, Eric saying they didn't want to do any major racial changes until Race Change was available.0 -

He did. These are going to be minor

Junkogen✭✭✭✭✭They're probably never going to do any major changes to the racial passives. I think they misspoke if they ever hinted at major changes. I think we're stuck with what we got.
If that's true about the Orcs then good on them. Still sucks to be an Argonian. I don't understand how they can call these things balanced or fair. It's just plain absurd at this point.
The slogan for ESO should be changed from "Play as you want" to "Give up hope."0 -

✭During ESO live they mentioned that most recent racial passives changes will be very minor untill they allow crown race change. Only then we can expect major racial changes.0 -
The_Sadist✭✭✭✭✭You heard correctly, granted you've been posting about it on and off for a while, so no real surprises there.
Where did you hear that information regarding the Orsimer changes? Seems like an interesting racial which might make the Orsimer more appealing. As @Zazaaji stated, race changes may become a thing after the racials themselves have been adjusted, but who knows when they'll actually put it in the crown store.Edited by The_Sadist on July 13, 2015 8:17AM"Each event is preceded by Prophecy.

asteldian✭✭✭✭All the Robust passives should be replaced rather than just tweaking other passives. Orc will be in a decent place, Khajiit will be reasonable, Argonian is still screwed and likely Nord will be too0 -

I don't think we can ever EXPECT any major changes. In fact, I doubt there will ever be anything significant. Look what they said about VR levels and now they're adding two more. Sure, they said they would rebalance the racials after allowing race changes, but when is that likely to happen? Not any time this year, I can pretty much guarantee that.
If you're an Argonian, be happy with what you got or reroll, but the racials are always going to be inferior because of bad design choices.Edited by Junkogen on July 13, 2015 4:21PM0 -
VoidBlue✭✭✭✭i think they should just allow us to pick which racial traits we want, that way possibly each person will be different. that way you could play as a orc and pick resto, magicka regen and something else as be a bamf orc healer0

There is some history behind some of these passives, coming from the single player games. So, the racial passives are supposed to reflect the cultural differences between the different races, so they're not just incredibly minor aesthetic variants.1 -

well how about letting us pick 2 passives and keeping the 3rd as is for their cultural difs. would still give some head room to be able to play what race you want without min/max because so and so race is the best at this class/playstyle0 -
Araxleon✭✭✭✭✭- Khajiits are getting an extra 5% crit, but in my opinion, the feline race should also be getting a pasive that grants dodge chance and roll dodge cost and get rid of the useless +30% HP regen.
@Zos pleeeeeease
I was hoping for crit increase (magicka/stamina) all around but ohh well :C Magicka Khajiits are still in the gutter compared to other races :CEdited by Araxleon on July 13, 2015 5:42PM0 -

With most of the passives there isn't any history. That's why it's so stupid that they keep clinging to the ones that are clearly inferior.0 -

Which is why I said, "some."
Though, honestly on a race by race basis, some of the passives are very faithful (Bosmer, Bretons), and others are just random (Nords, Imperials).0
