There is no need to further discuss the changes. They were made, end of the story. There's nothing left to discuss about them, they're not going to change anything in that regard. If they were willing to apply changes based on complaints/criticism, they'd already done that. They don't care (and in this case I think it's mostly good that they don't) about forum complaints.
As I said, that's why we have the developer comments on each change. That's their reasoning/explanation. There's really not more to it. Y'all are just putting way too much pressure on the changes, their impact is rather small.
Maybe if ZoS elaborated more on the why of these changes and how they see these changes fitting in to the future of this game, it might help?
Yes, many people don't like the current passives. Many people also didn't like the old passives. And many people won't like any future changes to the passives.You are going to have to face it. There is a NOT “small” part of the playerbase that does not like these changes.

You keep coming out with these sweeping statements that the amount of people unhappy with the racial changes is small. I will refer you to this poll that I am sure you are aware of;

As it stands right now 44% are not happy with the changes. That is not “(small) parts of the playerbase”.
This is not the first time you came out with a “are you happy with the race changes” poll and each time it appears to be with an agenda, and each time it does not seem to go your way.

Also I am not sure why you want them to be more tight lipped with the community. Let’s hear any plans and why they wanted to make these changes! Is that a bad thing?

I want the exact opposite when it makes sense. Regarding the racial changes it doesn't make sense because there's nothing to talk about. It doesn't matter if you like or I dislike the changes.
And nice for bringing up that poll, the majority likes the changes, e.g. no reason to talk about them. "Goes my way", what does that even mean. Not even sure we should count such polls when it comes to the necessity of addressing "problems". Something the community sees as a "problem" mustn't be one for ZOS/ESO.
As I said, we have the developer comments on the different racials explaining the why. And we have an entire post dedicated towards why they changed racials in general.
I really don't know what you want to hear.
"We saw the complaints in the forum about Bosmer losing stealth but we don't care." That's what you want to hear? Because they have nothing else to say about it.
Which makes me question why exactly you made the polls. You seem to have some odd agenda to prove that the people complaining about the racials is a small (and thus ignorable) amount. I don't know why, but it sure seems to come across that way.Seraphayel wrote: »Nevertheless we get the changes in the end and all the complaining was in vain.

Most of these threads boil down to is "Why was this change made?" If the developers had made themselves very clear on the subject, maybe these threads can get some closure.

Most of these threads boil down to is "Why was this change made?" If the developers had made themselves very clear on the subject, maybe these threads can get some closure.
As I said, this goes back and forth and can be applied to every nerf made to a class or race. People will always complain about that, e.g. Sorc nerfs. Is that a reason to hold an ESO Live on that? The same applies to the racial changes. Argonian players are dissatisfied because they got nerfed (which was necessary PvP wise), Bosmer are legitimately angry about the Stealth removal and Altmer players are angry because of [questionable reasons] (they're still top DPS so why even bother).
Besides that there are barely any racial complaints, here and there for sure but all the complaints boil down to those three races. And out of those three only Bosmer have real reasons to be angry. So again my question, why have an ESO Live on a topic like this? ZOS barely mentions problems in ESO Live streams and we're far from a "Morrowind sustain debacle" which would require communication.

But I'll agree that Live isn't the place for it to be discussed, mostly because not everyone watches it. It also doesn't allow for proper long-form rebuttal.
