Just announced, when the racial passives come through they plan to give one token per account. Not really fair to people with many characters, it could greatly change your set ups and take a hundred dollars to fix

@ZOS_GinaBruno
ZOS HEAR MY PRAYER, you want to avoid people hording what they don't need since you still want people to but these tokens obviously, just make the tokens given during the change to expire after so much time, that will be the best of both worlds!!!

    Free race change paired with free character slot is nice though, you’ll make due :)

    How does the free slot work, I have 9 caracters, will I get another for free or is free increased to 9.
    total cap increase to 16? Why not let people buying alts for crowns they can just play one.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Really don't like this. 1 free race change token covers 1 character, your potential main, but what about the up to 14 other characters? What if the meta shifts in such a huge way, or you find a new race you like? *** outta luck, gotta regrind a new character.

    It isn't fair to make such sweeping changes then leave players hanging, I know Warframe reimburses players for lost time and items when they rework systems. Players were refunded items and credits (equivalent to gold) for gear upgrades when the upgrading system was reworked, they were refunded focus (a form of XP) when the focus system was reworked (we're talking dozens upon dozens of hours of grinding worth of focus, here).

    Having a single race change for each character, bound to each character, or a way to earn additional race change tokens would be a better approach, in my opinion.

    I think they could give us race change tokens that have an expiration date if they want to avoid us hording them

    I'm not getting mad yet since I dont know the changes, but I have 5 argonians, so I'll be a bit miffed if something drastic changes and I need to fix them all.

    One possible suggestion would be to have some event tied to the PTS that can award the player with additional tokens, to incentivise players to participate in the PTS. Console players could have another event, one that doesn't result in the servers dying, since they don't have a PTS.

    If they do the race passives right in that each race's passives can be tweaked for their role, why would a race change be needed?
    I am very afraid. :s

    These race changes really suck when you have 20 characters. :'(
    They can at least make it a race-and-name-change token, so we won't have a female Imperial with a male Redguard name.

    Wow, one? If they seriously screw up the racial passives they're going to expect people to pay real money to race change? I'll be getting my money back on paypal if that's the case for my crown purchases.

    Can you wait like week or two to see if race changes have big impact before complaining

    You guys are complaining before you even know if you are going to want or need a race change token.

    Why would they give a race change token if it wasn’t gonna have an impact?

    I hope I'm proven wrong, but I had my suspicions that the racial rework was going to be a change made for the sake of monetization, and this makes it look more likely. I guess we'll see when the changes hit the PTS.

    Depend on how the changes are, if its an flat nerf it don't matter.
    If they buff some weak races to be the new meta but nerf the rest to the ground then yes.
    And no this is not to sell race change tokens, much easier to sell motifs and mounts.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.

    If I gotta change a toons race, than I gotta change their name as well. If there is anything I hate, it is a *game race here* with *different race heres* name.
