Has anything specific been announced about racial abilities for different races? Using a wow example like WoTF for undead, stun resist for orc, warstomp for tauren etc.

    All about races in the wiki: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Races

    However, IIRC, all races have the same starting stats. However, racial quests and perhaps advancements available in a Metro which has a dominant race will lead to diversity beyond the obvious physical look of the races.

    I wonder - was it a Balancing Issue ? I could imagine this to be the Case.

    If they remove any "great" Differences one could feel in the Game - then they would immediately silence everyone who would whine about it anyway. Not a bad Move if i am honest.

    Although i would find it cool if for example the nordic looking Humans would have slightly higher Cold/Frost Resistance like for Example the Nord in Elder Scrolls.

    Something not to powerful and Advantage in every Area. More just like a smol' Gimmick. But i think anything removed for Races that would probably gives them a noticeable Advantage in their "own Biome Area's", would probably conflict with the Developers Goals to make like every Node in every Area of the World conquerable for every Race.
