    That was attributed to an armor set,I don't think dual racial armor is coming any time soon

    Wait, they said the barber shop is coming with DB?!
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    The race change should not happen before the big overhaul in progress including racial changes has been completed.

    Otherwise the (probably) expensive change of a racial for us will turn sour.

    But I guess the big overhaul will be completed this year, so I guess also that the racial change could very well happen in Q4.
    "I still do not understand why I followed the advice of Captain Rana to bring the villagers of Bleakrock into safety. We should have fought for our village and not have backed down, with our tail between our legs. Now my home village is in shambles, the houses burning, the invaders feasting.I swear every day to Shor that after Molag Bal has been defeated, I will hunt down the invaders and restore peace in Bleakrock and drink my mead with my friends at the market place".PC-EU

    With the barber shop will come the changing rush. Many will be so caught up in the excitement, a few will regret it as they sink their gold.

    No Murkmire was put on hold hence why we got alot of the monsters meant for Murkmire in TG. Clockwork is the next big story after DB which is likely where you'll see Barbershop drop.

    This is why race change should happen. They refuse to balance the races and aim to keep the disparities in place. So let the players balance their characters themselves instead of begging for balance that will never come.

    They're not going to overhaul the racials. That's the problem. They've now made it clear how they want the races to be since removing soft caps. They now want races to be more specialized. It's not fair to those of us who started characters around launch when race didn't matter. So the least they can do is offer race change so I can balance my character myself instead of having to write the same posts on the forums and in game feedback spelling out how certain races are handicapped and praying to Lord Wrobel to actually fix them.

    They don't care to balance the racials. So just please let us balance our characters ourselves. Stop the suffering.

    If they did it would be to make all of them the same to make it less work for them. I don't see allowing race changes only cosmetic changes to your current race.

    You know, this is why we have an Adventurer Pack for Crowns... so you can select any race in any faction. Class change might be a better suggestion, tho.

    Most OP race in this magicka dominant meta is Dunmer.

    And even if they even add this option i want free race change for my alts, like REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY want.
    Cmon zos give us more content like "barber shop" ... don't add anything new plz... don't fix your game/balance/bugs ...
    We don't want lags in pvp to be fixed, we want BARBER SHOP or HOUSING plz zos listen to me.
    We want free best gear for highest vet lvl as a reward for the intro quest.
    We want everything more RNG drops and more grinding.

    If people tells you that i'm not right, don't listen to them. They don't know what they want.

    I wonder if they will limit the race changes to the chances within your faction, unless you have the Any Race, Any Alliance perk, or if they will let people change to any race. I imagine Imperial won't be available unless you have the Imperial Edition either way.

    I would rather they not waste time implementing a race change. From a lore perspective it makes no sense. It would just be catering to a small percentage of obsessives who are butt hurt because they have 3% less DPS than someone else.
