Nexon please, allow us to change race
It's that simple, give us the option to pay with NX for a race change coupon just like a homestead change coupon. I just don't want to be an Elf anymore, Human is just so much better in my opinion. I know we aren't ever getting a revamp/polish, I've accepted that now. This is the next best thing that's most likely to happen (I hope). It's not like choosing a class in MapleStory, every race doesn't have a completely different set of skills, just a couple extra. Final Shot would Become Final Hit and Mirage Missile would become Arrow Revolver. The only thing is you would have to let the nonhuman races choose their alignment so they won't have to repeat Generations 2 and 3. Maybe even add in a brief quest. There could be a limit per month and you would have to be a certain level to use it, who knows. The concept sounds simple enough to me. It's odd because you would think with all the freedom and options we have available, race changes would just be a given but unfortunately not.

Currently doing this with my giant (I main an elf) see how painful it is to be an elf for tech duin. Reason I wanted to be a giant is for survival ability since I don't care how quick I can drop bosses for as long as I live through it all.
Also for the fact Ego lances is just too good to pass.
For some people, such a switch isn't so simple.
The sheer amount of factors we can invest into a character is extremely high, some being difficult to replicate or time consuming to massive extremes.
Not to mention things like trade unlocks to invest in if you need to move over valuable equipment.
And if you're going for new equipment, think of the gold costs. The average player won't meet them.
Not to mention character bound things like beauty coupons and the transformation diary.
Alongside crusader levels and the time and effort to get everything ranked up.
Some people just get far too deep into growth to just jump over.
As for how it works, at minimum I could imagine conflicting skills being either "locked" or de-ranked with AP return, and the racial transformation being reset as a "cost".
Any conflicting beauty coupon stuff could be given back in coupon form, any other stuff can just go to a default since its either free or pon.
Honestly, the only "issue" would be giants and not being able to use certain clothes.
But if it was ever introduced to the game, I'm sure they would convert outfits to being giant usable to promote use of the feature.
TBH though I cant believe anyone would trust race change to be done right after seeing how the merge went, it wont be your hotkeys deleted it'll be all your skills and ranks.
Best part? You don't die as easy as an elf and can actually do easy damage without gear while gear only made it the better.
Sure gear will cost loads of gold but its far more cheaper than elf gear. Although its best to make the switch asap before players catch wind that elf gear won't hold much at the new endgame and human gear will likely cost even more as it will likely be in demand by those making the switch from elf.
If you want to play looking pretty then just stay as the race you are...but if you want power...
Also I can't trust Nexon to make this race change work without doing fatal damage to your data. So are you REALLY wanting to change race? I mean you can always come back as an elf as another stand in for some dailies or moments that you need that elf power.
I wouldn't call it agony, as I'm actually managing just fine.
The difficulty is most definitely higher though. Pretty much Mabi's "hard mode" choice.
For most people the switch would be easy since they aren't super far into leveling, or they have the drive to spend another few years leveling regardless of whatever content updates might come out during that time.
This is why I worded my post "Some people". Its not the most common of situations.
Honestly, if a formal race change method was introduced, it wouldn't exactly be a bad thing.
We would definitely see a lot more giants though...
Although a lot of it comes down to if they can even get such working in the first place.
Yep, pretty much.
A lot of people wouldn't consider the long term with something like race changes.
But hey, it still wouldn't be bad as an option.
And I do like the idea of giving it an extremely long cooldown so people can't just hop races on a whim.
If the other option is the commitment to spend years developing a new character, then it only makes sense for the option to outright change race to carry a similar weight of commitment. Although probably not a cooldown time of years.
its funny that you said humans is nexon's favorite, just long awhile ago folks been saying giants were the favorite lol
Once you go black, you can never go back.
Blop blop.
Oh Kenny, if you want a Sahagin Soul Mate you don't have to be one yourself. Just show them a good time.
I assume people must think elves are «better» based either on watching Korea-elf-videos or because they are defining «better» in terms of raw potential max damage rather than the in-practice damage that is highly affected by one's accuracy. Humans aim faster than elves and therefore can be said to be more objectively accurate than elves at actually hitting the target. I should probably post as «adult-like» as I can about this and apologise for my over-sight in the subjective «wording» (i.e.: better/worse/etc) that most-certainly leads to a lot of mis-understandings and potentially unnecessary time-wasting arguments (especially now being aware of what kind of influence I have over others by my own examples).
