    Wait what?? I can't convert to imperial style anymore? That's one big reason why I bought Imperial Edition. I just crafted a set of gear for my imperial main too without a care for the style since I was going to convert it to imperial. Wtf.

    1. They took away the ability to convert items to
    Imperial style when the outfit system came
    out.
    2. White horses are available in varying forms
    to everyone.
    3. Imperial only housing no longer requires the
    Imperial edition.
    4. Imperials have had whatever stat they
    are stacking nerfed. Ie, health nerfed on
    tanks but stamina buffed. Stamina nerfed
    on DD's but health buffed.
    5. Red Diamond is still boring and is a non-
    factor in gameplay unless you count volatile
    armor looping bugs as a feature.
    6. Imperials are still not good magic users.
    7. Imperials are bottom tier dps.
    8. Imperials are okish tanks.

    I don't want to argue with you. My Imperials take a health nerf as well. I will still play them.

    Awesome way to dodge the question

    I agree with OP. Imperial will be a crap race choice for any role after the changes. I would never have bought the pack for a bottom tier race. Bait and switch.

    What question am I dodging?

    What exactly is imperial for? It definitely isn't a targeted tank as other races just do it better with little in differences.

    2K hp / stam - the heal isn't exactly that great in PvE tanking wise and the 5% reduction in block? Really?

    Is it DPS? No other races do it better and are obviously targeted for it <AKA the weapon dmg / crit / sustain passives>

    Is it heal? Well obviously not as they have nothing that really benefits healing in any way.

    So as a tank looking at imperial I see:
    2K hp
    2K stam
    <Insert dead passive here>

    Why wouldn't I swap to a breton or nord? There is basically 0 play style to imperials. It used to be massive stats far above the other races. Now? Nord difference is 1K hp / 500 stam. Nords however gain nearly 4K more resists - and can regen ult faster.

    Bretons are masters of sustain which in turn allows for more casting, which means more abilties to aid team mates and assist in converting stats.

    ***I am only looking at it from PvE side, not PvP***

    Essentially Imperials NEED an identity of some kind. Red diamond is basically such a crap shoot they added 5% block cost, but due to CP / sturdy traits its essentially nothing. Were a race with 2 passives and some flavor text. Its not like were asking to be the best, but we should be good at something.

    Are they going to remove the imperial race from the game?

    This is not quite true. Individual Imperial characters can convert to imperial style at the outfit station for no cost. Did it just yesterday.

    I don't disagree that imperials are getting the short end of the stick. I think I have said that in every post. I asked a question, you replied to me with 2 questions.

    Why not choose a Breton or some other race?

    You're right. Even a Breton will make a better tank if these changes go live.

    How is that balanced?

    Imperial won't be balanced with the other races if these changes go live.

    Now you're asking what is Imperial for?

    I don't know, RP?

    I did eventually get an answer to my question from someone else (thanks @Girl_Number8, you're awesome).

    I never advocated for or endorsed these changes and I believe that Imperial took the biggest hit. I don't see these changes as having the stated effect of more diversity, but as you have said, they still might tweak the changes before they go live.

    I don't have an Imperial tank. This is an honest question. Do Imperial tanks really need over 60k health? All classes? If so, they were terrible anyway.

    So tell me why choose an imperial tank PTS vs lets say a Breton in PTS?

    Right now Imperials are:
    Bad at DPS
    Bad at healing
    Bad at tanking

    How is that balanced?

    1% more gold. Step off bro

    It's not balanced. People say DPS classes all parse the same now but in reality they won't parse the same (example: Breton stamina DPS vs redguard), there's other roles than DPS such as healing and tanking in this game (where sustain matters), and it's going to be really not balanced for PvP. Khajiit got buffed overall though, just in time for the new expansion.

    Much cheaper to change your style in the one slot back and forth for gold. Gold is easy to make ;)

    If you read the contracts, you'll see that you're not even the owner of your own copy of the game... You're not entitled to any sort of money back. Just saying.

    Ehhh.. What did you lose exactly? Your white horse? The ability to transmute into Imperial style? Oh, I know. Your racial bonus will change. Poor you. I bet that when the new update goes live, someone comes up with an OP build tailored to Imperial. As they always do.

    God the whining is real for MINISCULE changes. But yes, I forgot you are one of the min/maxers who regularly pull 50K+ DPS. You may only be able to pull 48.5K now, and it will surely ruin your life.

    Not to worry, ZOS will DEFINITELY refund your money!

    Not saying I'm agreeing with him but I do regularly parse 50k+ on some classes (stamden and stamblade) and around 46-49k on most other classes on the dummy. I do have 60-70k+ single targets parses on trial bosses. I do have 14 toons and chose the races based on passives.

    I do like the changes very much but seeing the new passives, I would have made different choices based on my preferred play-style. Based on these changes, I would definitely have made a different choice for 6 to 7 characters. I think there needs to be some sort of compensation to make it fair.

    Changes to sustain with homestead, to weapon traits (dual wield Nirn+infused, went to double infused and soon will go to Nirn+infused/precise), new sets needed to be farmed when jewelry transmute was introduced and more have never required you to pay real world money to adapt. Now, to adapt to the meta, you need to pay and that's what upsets me.

    Roll a new baby toon. Free. Or "free", as it does take time. Paying is optional. You're 100% choosing to pay. Keyword is "choosing" here.

    I'm interested, please tell me which characters you have to race change now / would make a different choice now - and why.

    You want a refund of something that released 5 years ago and changed?

    I wish you could get refunds of changed content or dead games. I would have gotten my money back of

    - The game since it's no longer available
    - Vanguard idem, tabula rasa and oh my so many mmo's ceased to exist in my lifetime.

    History, like a human being, is thirsty when it wakes from its slumber…History wants to drink up an enormous amount of blood. And even if history has tired of drinking blood, that’s only in regards to the amount. But what about quality? The larger the sacrifice is, the more delighted the cruel gods will be.
