I'd just like to point out that the Dwarfs in EQ 2 could only flip after finding an easter egg. Secondly the flip parkour clip you have shown clearly demonstrates that flips arc down obstacles (like in real life parkour/free running) Which I have stipulated many times.
Look I have stated many times now that I approve of the Dunir tumbling and rolling (like rocks) My issue is having them defy their own core lore principals in game and have a jump/flip as a mandatory baseline kit.
I have asked multiple occasions of any proof that front flipping from the ground up onto an object makes logical sense and does not defy basic physics.
The argument that the Dunir should should jump and front flip as standard is made even more bogus by your own "proof of concept"
From an Ashes of Creation own lore narrative the Dunir should not flip jump as it is 100% out of character.
If a race Is still desired to front flip jump then the Nikua by all merits should be the primary race candidate and offer the players a choice to jump flip to their hearts desire.
If the Ashes of Creation Lore implies the Dunir represent all things Fire and Earth elementally speaking and the Nikua represent Air and Water respectfully...
Then I see absolutely no reason as to why Dunir obtain any acrobatic character sheet bonus...if anything they should have a penalty.
But keep going Gaettusk, I am actually enjoying watching you paint yourself into a conundrum corner...I look forward to you digging your own grave without a paddle and jump flipping down into it...
We got it.
A Dunir dwarf can learn the abilty to jump flip (EQ2 Easter Egg homage) By visiting a Nikua built node and perform a right of passage initiation trial/quest. However by accepting this ability you will have to cut/remove your beard/facial hair because it offends the Nikua flip god/spirits..
Is that a (mis)interpretation of Ashes Lore Dygz?
Or shall I forever be blessed with your prancing displays....
ah yes , i like how he just took one thing out of all of what i said , me not playing females does not stop me from wanting the females to look better and look good , i got a few female friends who all have the same problem with the game models and armors , its just true .
and i also said pretty and unique first nor did i say i want BIKINI ARMORS but hot like dresses and stuff , but i guess u just like to project your thoughts into others lol.
oh i also dont think the male armors are looking too hot (cool so u dont project more) either especially the helmets as they are mostly horrendous or just boring but they at least are a lot better compared to their counterpart.
Right of passage is just stuff you've made up in your own head, so it's really a you problem.
But... everything is subject to change.
We'll see how it all works at launch.
I see you adopted the "because magic" Macguffin...Well done Jar Jar...
I will also refute that the accusation most of this is in my head interpretation and is a matter of fact mostly public domain.
The majority of my efforts to attune myself to the lore Ashes of Creation has thus far provided, does a far better job of tangible world building than the efforts supporting the current state of Dunir aesthetics and behavior by 'leaps and bounds' if you forgive my pun...
For someone who repeatedly and falsely claims that they approve of Dünir flipping, you sure like to let your actions belie your words. Maybe in one of your posts you'll realize how your deflection to "muh physics" is just a sub-category of "muh realism", which has already been relentlessly mocked, ridiculed, and proven worthless. It's a fantasy world; who said it has Earth physics etc.? Because if it had Earth physics, a lot of the magic wouldn't work as it does, some weapons wouldn't be lethal as they are supposed to be, etc. Take a few more days and come up with a better argument, please. Looking forward to your continued "[approval] of Dünir tumbling and rolling".
Edit: also, as has been stated by Dygz in other terms, what's your basis for your personal perception that no flipping is a Dünir principle? You can personally perceive whatever you want, but it does not make it reality. Where has Steven said that flipping is against Dünir principles? Where in any available lore,etc.? It's not there; get over it.
You got nothing to refute anything with.
The lore in your head does not match the lore of the Ashes setting.
Irrelevant.
