Discussing your 'unpopular' opinions

[Dualblade]

I'm not sure, khajiit and argonians in ESO are decently popular. Orcs, nords and wood elfs are on the bottom and they are very humaniod, especially the nord. Even very beastly options like Worgen and Tauren in WoW, as low res as they are, are appreciated.

Its not smart to write off less humaniod races so quickly.

As someone who doesn't play ESO, does race affect your stats, and if it does are khajiit and argonians considered to have good stats compared to other races? Thats something that can cause a person to choose a certain race in a game even if thy like the other options more in appearance. XIV's racial stats are gone if I remember right, and even when they were around were so minuscule as to not even matter.

Also I know there is something about Argonians and lust? I've never played any ES game so I know very little but if that isn't just a thing inside the game world that would put Argornian on a "desirable looking" thing.

There are racials that are stronger than FFXIV's, some can eventually be overcome with high CP, much like in FF how when you are low level your racials make more of a difference with your stats. Even so people unless they do endgame mostly play what they want. I only know argonians offhand and they have a lot of bonus to healing and potions so they make alright heals and tanks.

You could say its simply racial for all the popular "beasts" in games like Charr in GW2 or the ESO examples I gave but i think if you look at the general population for MMOs nowadays most people don't min max and do pick form over function, especially casual players.

I really don't like some of the story choices I'm shoe-horned into picking. More often than not I'm saying aloud "My character wouldn't respond that way! Why are these my options? They're dumb!"

See, I would consider this a pretty clear waste of dev time. But, I also have no desire to be barefoot, ever.

Eh, they already adding swimming and have a pretty strong following in the form of role-players who throw a ridiculous amount of money at this game. It'd be a wise investment...and I doubt that it would take away much from development time elsewhere.

My opinion that I believe is unpopular...Scholar should be separated from Arcanist. It could be job-only like the newer jobs, or a class (Savant or whatever) could be made for it.

Why I believe is this unpopular is that everyone and their mother seem to think that SUMMONER should be the one separated, for who knows what reason, despite summoner and arcanist being the two DPS while it is scholar that messes the two up due to being healer and limiting the arcanists design...


Also, I actually liked the class/job system and I wish they would still do it. But without any stupid ideas of branching into another job category. DPS should turn into DPS, healer into healers, tank into tanks. I don't know who decided to make a scholar (healer) branch out of arcanist (DPS), but that person should be fired, or at least have his salary bonus cut away permanently.

Flying is an excuse to design map layouts that are annoying to travel through on ground. Future expansions should scrap the ability to fly entirely and make areas more openly accessible.

Also flying elephants.

This next bit isn't against you personally, it's just my final point: you telling people who want a cute race they should be happy with what they've got is no different than folks saying you shouldn't get a bestial race because you have "fierce" races in Roes and Highlanders already. It makes no sense. We want more races because what's out now doesn't feel like "home" yet.

I just want more different races and not another version that just has some animal ears and a tail and most of the rest just being a normal hyur. Heck I would have no problem if they would use the tribes more and give us one tribe that is more cute and the other tribe more beastly. They could have easily given the Xaela the fiercer looks since they are a war race and make the Raen the cuter ones since they mostly live with other races. Thus both sides would be happy.

Huge reason for the popularity of those races in ESO is the racial bonuses. Khajit and Argonians have some of the better racials for pve and pvp, respectively. Nords have the least useful racials in that game. Those sorts of bonuses have a bit more impact on characters in that game than the racial stat differences here (that at this point may as well not exist).

I love my flying elephant, tyvm.

RDM needs a slight increase to its damage input.

The usefulness of Vercure and Verraise is largely overblown. It's neat utility, sure, but more often than not both the RDM and a healer will do the swiftcast and raise combo at the same time. Especially in a group that isn't communicating over voice chat.

my perspective may be skewed but I'm under the impression RDM's damage output is nuts for savage progression right now. The RDM in my static is typically 90+ percentile, so idk if it really needs adjusted.
