I've been waiting like 8 months to change my Khajit to a Breton... When is it going to be on the Crown Store?

    Seriously, they keep telling us they are working on it for months now but then again... they have better things to use their resources for than this.

    Race changing is a stupid idea and shouldn't be added in the first place. The End.

    Leveling a second nightblade atm and don't mind its s side project for when I get bored of end game and just want to quest. Basicly switching to Imperial from Breton as Breton is nice but Imperial has superior passives like 3% magicka recovery? that is like nothing.

    Breton is the best though.

    I too can see why a Khajit would want to be superior.

    So you have spent 8 months doing what?

    I think a race change is a bad idea
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    I hope it never happens, it would be far better for any racial passive balancing issues to be resolved through re-balancing on the developers' part rather than expecting the players to resolve it at their expense in the Crown Store. For any other personal whim over a character's race the better approach would be to re-roll or create an alt.

    They were changed, but they have been changed for the better. The only race that really needs some work when I look at the passives is Argonian. "Increases swimming speed by 50%" - lol, are they having a laugh? Not like you can outswim slaughterfish.

    This.

    As I said above, thankfully they have been doing some good work with changing the passives. Most of the races look really appealing to me. When I rolled my last alt I was really undecided which one to pick. Usually I just go Imperial, but I had to really think about it this time. This is how it should be.

    Race change could be a good source of income for ZOS since players are so into min/maxing in this game with a certain race. I personally just pick for appearance.

    But then they will have a tough time making future racial changes cause people nerd rage if their race gets nerfed or other races get buffed to much.

    You could have made a new character and leveled it up within those 8 months. I don't know why you didn't do that?

    Instead of race change why not an option to Immediately level to max level of highest character? Or maybe just insta level to VR1 so you don't have to do all the same quests over. If they were to do that probably to VR1 is the better idea.

    The removal of Softcaps should of resulted in a Race Change option..

    Softcaps Imperial wasn't that much better then Nord..without Softcaps..it isn't even close.

    Don't get me started on Argonian Nightblade potion build basically being removed from the game..

    8 months ago you could have leveled a new character and surpassed your current characters progression. I'm all for race change, but I couldn't wait the differance in DPS from an Orc to Dunmer fire mage is very significant.

    A race change would be a big money maker for ZOS in the crown store. For that reason alone I don't know why it hasn't been implemented yet.

    This doesnt have the basic features of an MMO, neither the basic features of an ES game... This is what happend when Devs tried to reinvent the wheel and fail at it... And this is exactly why this game is becoming a niche game, appealing only to a small community...

    If they allow Race change, then Class change should be next. If you can somehow change from a Lizard to a Cat, you should definitely able to change your job.

    I didn't follow Eso progression since the begining, But did the racial passive change so much from what it was? If not, then I find it strange that people demands race change, and it's not like if your are for example a Magicka Bosmer Sorc people decided to not include you in the party is it?

    Edit: 1 more thing tho, don't forget that racial choice also helps in certain way, for example when leveling your selection of chosen skill. I don't think it's fair to people that painfully leveling their restoration staff, when argonian can level them like 15% faster. (although in the end it's probably doesn't matter that much)

    No race change thanks.

    Just because another MMO does it doesn't mean this on has to, popularity or not.

    I don't need ESO to be popular to enjoy it. I need it to be good.

    Reading/listening to what they say and agreeing with it are two different things.

    I'll give up standing against race change when it is in-game. Not before.
