I mean ice elves can poof instantly away from harm and wood elves can build a portal that will work a day later? And where does this portal go? Like i could see if it went to serpents hold or something since we can no longer get donator status.
After testing them, almost all the abilities seem to revolve around binding animals which a) doesn't work and b) is what i trained taming for.
Surely binding works perfectly and has no problems, because there are no bug reports in bugs/suggestions about it. So i don't know what you're exactly on about.
That being said, the wood elf pathway, as mentioned earlier, both entrance and exits can be controlled, so it is much more versatile than the ice elf teleport, but a lot more vulnerable as well.
You cannot bind something you aren't the master of, so i don't see the comparison to taming. Likewise having a pet that cannot permanently die is very appealing to some people. As does the woodland shape.
As i said, each race fills a different playstyle, so not all races will be for everyone.
And as with every race, it'll be adjusted over the upcomming week or two as things are discovered.
