Acrobatic jump

Watching gameplays of the alpha1 I could see that the characters did some kind of acrobatics when jumping.
I have no problem with that, but even the Dwarfs did it and it took me out of context a bit.
Dwarfs are supposed to be rough, strongs but not very agile.
What do you think?

    Actually, it was only the dwarves doing it. Here is an old thread talking about it...

    They have dramatically changed the look of dwarves since Alpha 1, and I expect the flipping thing was a placeholder animation. I don't expect you'll see it for the next round of testing.

    It was ONLY the dwarfs that did it. In A1 the dwarfs resembled the Niküa more than they resembled the Dünir. The Niküa are smaller and more agile, and it's quite possible they'll keep the ability to front-flip in the air.

    It's not proper for a Dunir to jump, let alone jump-flips!

    When a Dunir player presses the Space Bar, their character should quickly build a ramp, huff and puff up onto it, fall forward gracelessly off the top of the ramp, and the ramp collapses into dust behind them.

    Quite right!
