I actually agree with the OP's sentiment. They should make it so race is less important to your build, or find ways to add other things in game that work around the issue. It is a little stupid how much better an Altmer mage is than a Khajiit Mage. While there was -some- advantage in the TES standalone games, it was never this stark.

Yeah it was.
The difference in racial abilities (and constellations) in other games was -massive-. Like in Morrowind where Agonians were completely immune to disease and poison and could breath underwater. Or Altmer got twice as much Magicka.
Abilities like that would be absolutely game breaking in an MMO.
Argonian poison/disease resistance is worthless in ESO. It is one of the lowest resistances in the game. You compare it to spell resistance of a Breton 3k+, vs. the 1.2k or whatever ridiculous amount argonians and bosmer receive, and this is on top some fairly flaccid passives the Argonian has. For starters the passives are not even equitable between races currently, and enchantments were very useful in making up for the difference in previous games. The point I am making is that at the upward bound of the game your race did not matter at all. That +50 extra magicka from being an Altmer was nice, but it was a static amount, not a scaling amount. I think you understand the difference. I stick by my argument that racial bonuses mean too much in ESO, particularly once soft caps were removed from the game.
No one really wants it just a small minority. They keep making posts so it seems like a large majority of players want it but really its a stupid idea pushed by stupid people
Dismiss an idea just because it doesn't benefit you or something you care for. GG why the f do any of you actually care what someone else's race is anyways? And you clearly haven't been around here for long (or the person who agreed with you lol), this is one of the most requested features since launch. Do me a favor and do a forum search of "race change" and come back and tell me is only a few people before you go spitting off mis information.
I see you saying, "it shouldn't be" or "its a stupid idea". But not one of you has posted a real thought about why the f you actually care?! And I'm willing to entertain what I expect to be some fantastic answers.

I don't see how any of that is relevant to what I said about earlier games.
I didn't make any comparisons between ESO racials or even address them.
I was simply replying to the statement that racials didn't have that great an impact in prior games.
Okay looks like I have better to just be quiet and not to share my thoughts.No one really wants it just a small minority. They keep making posts so it seems like a large majority of players want it but really its a stupid idea pushed by stupid people

I mean did you just spin a wheel and point to what you were going to randomly decide to care about today? cause out of all things actually wrong with this game you want to stop people from changing race?
That's a totally different and valid discussion with pages of posts. This particular thread specifically states, "ZOS shouldn't add race change" which is another thing entirely and completely unfounded......that is unless the OP and those that agree with them can provide a legitimate reason why the actually gaf what other peoples race is.dodgehopper_ESO wrote: »No one really wants it just a small minority.

I actually don't care, but I'm more concerned with the underlying problem that is the balance between races and game balance in general. I see this as a cheap bandaid fix that we get charged for, when frankly it is a ZoS mistake and it should be paid on their dime not ours. Builds that worked beautifully at the beginning of the game are running into some big problems now because a multitude of changes that have happened. Soft caps are among a laundry list of changes that have harmed racial balance. I've given plenty of suggestions in the past that would help mitigate the issues while still keeping racial diversity. What I don't want to see is everyone playing 4 of 10 races because they are the 'best' choices. They need to fix the underlying flaws in game design.
Theyve removed soft caps and changed racial passives since launch. The race you chose then may not be the race you want to have with all the changes now. Race change should come.

Barbershop = no more Argonians
Barbershop = no more Argonians
My entire guild is Argonians. We don't care so much about passives. We make what we have work. We enjoy being Lizards more than a few extra points in a regen or something.
Mathscrolls Online is less fun! Lol. Argonians are the master-race and everyone knows it, they are just afraid.

@Cuyler ermmm maybe because it will cause a huge imbalance in the game especially in terms of PVP where 90% of players will be playing around 3 different power races?
long enough? have you played any elder scrolls games prior to this one and do you know anything about lore?
it should NOT be allowed get your lazy ass to reroll a new character.
after everything you said. have YOU provided any reasons for a race change? other than "most frequent request" (which it isnt)
Still waiting for a valid argument AGAINST race change.
No no no no!!!
Why does everyone want race change? Every race is viable to succeed in pve and in pvp every way. And if you at the beginning made some race cause of appearance then seems like beeing best is not most important for you.
If they add race change then they should also bring class change! It would be equal then cause some people may regret that they made argonian or nord but some might also regret that they made sorc or templar.
Still waiting for a valid argument AGAINST race change.
Because some of your choices should be permanent. It fosters investment in your character, pushes you to work with the inherent flaws and create something unique. Personally, I am against respecs too (except in the case of fundamental game changes), but that ship has long since sailed.
this is an MMO,nothing is permanent and constantly changes whether by DEV or player,not good enough of an arguement...still
Because creating different characters of different races promotes longevity of the game. If people can play one character to the end, then swap a few things around and experience everything else that the game has to offer, they are less likely to stay around as long.
Longevity of the game requires much more than this,its a very small change and easily implemented.people are less likely to stay due to much bigger reasons,like oh i dont know BUGS,broken mechanics,cheating,lack of future content,poor customer support.
Once a race change is implemented, class choice becomes the only meaningful selection. Everything else can be achieved through respecs, race changes, skill changes etc. If I want to change my DK sword/board magicka tank to a stam bow DPS or heavy armor healer, I can already do it easily. I can experience that content in a matter of hours, and then once I've seen it, done it and bought the T-shirt, there is literally nothing left for me to experience.
Adding a race change on top of this already incredibly forgiving system will only exacerbate the problem of people switching to flavor of the month, burning out and moving on. All for the sake of a handful of stat points or a meagre bonus here or there.
I can almost guarantee that the lions share of people asking for a race change are PvP oriented. And that's fine. I totally get that you want to blame your losses on your racial bonuses and you don't have the time or inclination to start a new character. You want to rock up to Cyrodil, kick some ass and teabag a few scrubs, but it's only your terrible racial choice that prevents you from doing that. Why did you pick Nord, when Altmer are so much better!? It's so unfair! If only you could be an Altmer too, then you could really show these noobs who's boss! you're better than that! So much better than the race that's just holding you back!
LOL way off base and out of touch with this...actually pve'rs want the change because race passives have been adjusted without thought and are out of sync with original release.i guess you already have the pvp players pigeon-holed,now i see your biased. as for permanent changes. Not everyone wants to be altmer either,shows how much you know about the other races.
Racial change is a bad idea. Learn to play with the cards you chose, or return them to the deck and start again.

At least I can admit that some of your arguments are good...Still waiting for a valid argument AGAINST race change.
This sounds good. Cause then it is equal. If they add only race change then its not. Some of us might have done mistake by going to EP or doing NB so it is same thing as making mistake with race.Class, faction and race change NOW!
There are several roleplay-friendly in-character racechange explenations, from alchemy to reincarnation to magical curses...newtinmpls wrote: »I wouldn't do a race change, diehard RPer that I am, but I have done my best with what's available to create a maomer...
