Pure awesomeness, thank you!

Thank you, ZOS.

I will use these tokens wisely.

Thanks SOOO much! We all appreciate this so much!

@ZOS_GinaBruno Will we need to have "Any race any alliance" upgrade in order to change, let's say Nord into Khajiit with those tokens?

I would also like an official clarification for this - because I can already see the threads of people who don't realize race change != any race w/out that. And if they are alliance locked then it would be a nice gesture to discount the Adventurers Pack along with the Race/Name change tokens in the crown store.

From what is being said, these tokens are no different from the ones currently in the game. You cannot bypass any locked restrictions with a token. You need to unlock the ability to use any race any alliance first

Except that "Any Race, Any Alliance" does not work on an existing character if you change their race.
I've tried it.
Alliance is still locked to what it was when the character was first created.

"Any Race, Any Alliance" only works on new characters, during the character creation process.

The way I look at this is there are many of us who did purchase the "Any Race, Any Alliance" bought it in order to play any race with any alliance. If you want to do the same maybe you should also purchase it. Asking for something and having ZOS give you what you asked for x3 is something to be grateful for. They did NOT have to do that, but in order to keep player base happy they chose to give out some tokens.

Would it really be fair to everyone who bought the upgrade to have it free? It doesnt cost much anyhow so if it is important to you just buy it.

I think the point is that some people don't care about alliance. They would be happy to have a character with no alliance. They just want to be able to swap to the race they want. They chose the race because they wanted the race and obviously don't care what alliance the character is in if they are annoyed by this technicality.

These players would happily accept their character being forced into the proper alliance when they use the race change token. The problem is that questing is also based on alliance, so the simple act of clearing their Cyrodiil data and changing their alliance is not enough.

As an owner of any race, any alliance, I also don't see the big deal of allowing the race change token to bypass that. Race change tokens are expensive, 3k crowns for a single one. That is hardly a workaround for the 'any race, any alliance'.

a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one

Do you have to have any race any alliance to actually change your race to whatever race you want? Or did they change that?

Some real salt here ...I like it ^_^

Although I appreciate the increased tokens, I made many avatars before the ARAA was released, then bought that package so I could make avatars with my preferred race in the different alliances where my Guild and friends decided to play and conduct their PvP. So, I began to change many avatars to match my Guild's play styles.

To date, I have spent way too much time remaking (7 of 15 so far) avatars and grinding back to level 50 and waiting 20 hours times 60 times 3 skill lines to level up mounts; retrieve all mage books; gain skyshards; level skills etc., etc; It is just too mind-numbing to consider doing it further.

Race\name tokens will do me and many no good if used on avatars that just remain in their original alliances unused.

Imho, it really seems time for inclusion of an alliance token or allowance after this roll-out, for a one-time alliance change per toon, to reduce the fatigue of remaking all our level 50 avatars and allowing us to get on with playing the full content.

I said useless before, and I still mean it. The reason it's useless to me is because I have a stamina and magica version of each class, all in the BiS race options before the wrathstone update.

3 tokens is absolutely not enough, and to try and justify it being enough for someone like me who has almost the maximum of fully leveled characters who are all in BiS gear, and all used fairly equally to raid, is foolhardy at best. The discount needs to be a very deep discount in order for me to continue to justify playing a game that is becoming predatory in nature with the crown store and "balance" and how they intertwine with each other.

so sad how this company has fallen so quick.

Thank you that is very generous zos 💜🖒🖒🖒

Right now, I can only think of one character I plan to use a race change token - a Nord templar to Khajiit - and that's more because I want another Khajiit character than anything else.

The changes I've (already) made have mainly been to certain characters' builds/roles; Khajiit stamina sorcerer to magicka sorcerer, and Dark Elf magicka dk to stam dk, as I've found stam sorc and mag dk to be thoroughly underwhelming. Even now, without any passives to boost magicka, I feel that a Khajiit sorcerer plays better as magicka than stamina. The sorcerer class skill lines simply do not bring enough to the table for a stamina build. As for dragonknight, mag DK is weak on sustain and lacks a (usable) execute ability.

If they want stam sorc and mag dk to be strong builds, they need to provide more stamina morphs for sorcerer, and give mag dk an execute ability.

Then again I also care about the identities of my characters (at least somewhat) and I'm not going to be changing the races of my favorites just to squeeze a few hundred extra dps out of them.

Nice I guess but frankly anyone that uses a vague race-appropriate name is gonna need name tokens too.

You get 3 of those also

When you do a race change, do you get an appearance change as well?
