Idea that would make zen make a lot of money!

Racial Passive Change token price 1000-2000 crowns, you can swap any races passives with your current race.
So let's say, you can be a nord with high elf racial passives

Was playing warframe and remembered there's a system like this there , i mean not like this, but close enough

six2fall · August 2021

Yeah no thx. If someone wants the passives for a certain race there are race change tokens already available.

I'd probably pay for this! Or at least get someone to gift me it. I'm pretty staunch about only playing as Imperials and I know it hurts a lot of my builds- like the mag blade I'm currently leveling. I'd much rather she have Khajiit passives.

And it wouldn't hurt class balance since you're only replacing your passives with another classes passives. So you're not hurting the hardcore meta players while making the game better for us weird ass role players 😊

Your racial passives make almost no difference to your effectiveness.
Are you a casual player that wants to role-play a certain race or are you a min-maxed that wants the highest possible DPS?

I feel like they have to be mutually exclusive groups of players. Just play the race you want to play and you'll be able to complete any and all content just fine.

I'd love this. Then I can play a magicka Redguard that's actually worth a dang.

I think the more likely thing you could see is a racial polymorph so it would work the other way around. You keep your racial passives, but could unlock a polymorph to look like another race.

Nah seems kind of scummy to allow this for crowns.

It's different because for that you also need to change how your char look like.
For players like me that only play with one char and identify with it that is a bad thing.

What about a player that started as a tank and choose Nord and now want to play as DD?
No Trials end group will accept my Nord DD because of his passives.
And no, i can't use another char because I play only my main when i want achievments.

No thank you.

a) No need to offer ZOS yet another way to take money from the playerbase.
b) It further incentivises them to “update” racial passives regularly, as they will make money every time they do.
c) Racial passives are one of the few things that actually distinguish races in this game. Why on earth would we homogenise further than has already been done?

There are lots of trial groups that will accept a Nord if he parses high enough. If you preform better than meta race dds as long as it is not a score pushing group your should be fine.

We had a Nord DD in last teifecta group I was in, no probs if you can pull of same weight as others.

I myself was chosen into first vethm prog group while was playing a strictly magicka race (dunmer at the time, way before all the racial changes) on a stamina character and was pulling as good as anyone else if not better at times. It's all up to you really, good motivation to be on top of your game at all times.

No ty. Silliness. May as well not even have different "races" then. Just make an avatar one generic stick man.

250 weapon dmg, is like a a 5% dps boost on your rotations. I'm not sure why anyone would say it makes no difference.

GenjiraX · August 2021

I don’t know much about this or any other subject but I’ve read on the forum that Bosmer passives are used on Khajiit characters, with some players expressing disappointment.

What I don't get is how people who only play with one character and identify with it want constantly to change it. Surely identifying with it means sticking with it?

Pretty sure they identify with their looks, achievements etc. and not with which colour their projectiles firing. More like changing the "job" from a nightblade to warden, as an example.

waterfairy · August 2021

while you're at it lets pay for class passives from different classes and use resto staff passives for sword n shield

No.

Froil · August 2021

Hell that's cheaper than a name change token... If this were to be a thing, 5k crowns, easy.

redlink1979 · August 2021

Lose what makes the races unique? No, thanks.

danno8 · August 2021

Well at the very least it would stop the Racial Passive musical chairs we get every year.

Sylvermynx · August 2021

Well, that's pretty lore-smashing. No thanks.
