Would anyone like Racial ultimates?

    No because of nerfs. We all know how forums were hateful towards Argonians during racial rebalance. Trust me - you don't want to go through this again.

    Last I checked I only get 1 per bar

    Why would I care about another ultimate that I would not even spend a point to unlock?

    Because if it was worth unlocking, it's more powerful than what I already have slotted

    Which would make the forums blow up

    Would a Warden give up their Bear for it?

    Well first it would be nice if they would actually read the games lore and have passives match it. Still seeing Argonians should be resistant to poison in Elswyer.

    No. There was racial ults in GW2 irrc. But eventually they were replaced or something. In short - it was a bad idea.

    They should get rid of the current racial skills, and give us the proper racial abilities/skills from the main games/lore that this game is based on. And stop making all of the races and even classes so similar.

    I would prefer a special active ability for each race.

    U cud get away with just reskinning some skills/ultimates and slap em on races, like the nb teleport just remove the shadowy effect remove snare and bump dmg up in line with ultimate. Argonian tailslap cud use onslaughts animation and just tweak the effects.

    Doesn't sound like the worst idea, honestly, but I think I prefer racial passives to racial actives. I want them to play a role to add flavor, obviously, but I do not want them to force me to play a certain race to complete a certain build.

    Well.. i have thought about this when they changed racials. Something like;

    Lets says Wood Elves because they have very specific identity. Numbers could be changed fornbalance of course.

    Reduce sneak radius and crouching time since they are small and known for stealth.

    Cannibalize: Whenever you kill a NPC/player restore 600(?) health.

    Bow abilities cost reduced by %3. Poison status resistance.

    And a racial active; Animal Companion. For x seconds summon a ghost (i doubt they could add the abilitiy to manipulate npc animals) companion to fightwith/heal you.

    I would remove the resource buffs or huge perks that benefits one thing more than anything else which would make that race best at it so people would feel like they are forced to it.

    Thanks for this. I'll add this to the issues as it likely means my suggestion would never bear fruit.

    Ultimate? No.

    Active might be neat, but like others, I fear what they'd come up with.

    Mainly, NOTHING that affects stealth detection!

    . . . . . . or swimming.

    . . . . . . or potion consumption, lol.

    It would freak me out if my Dunmer could burst into flames. :o Not sure I could handle watching that. LOL.
    But I think the racial passives are enough.

    To be fair I’d slot a Waffle House ultimate instead of the bear at the rate Zos is going with the warden nerfs.

    No. Not really of fan of tying things to race as I want to play the race I like, not the race I'm forced to if I want to do/use X

    Also, ZOS can't figure out what the heck they are doing now with sets/skills/buffs/debuffs, they just throw darts at the board to see what to screw with next. Lets not give them even more targets.
