Parkour

I'd like to see it.

Parkour as in... implementing jumping quests?
I can imagine the outcry!
But probably, if any, there'll be skills in the more agile classes where something like this may be possible! Think of a double-jump or air-hop skill. I can see people clipping and AFKing on random signposts already.

Does the game have significant enough fall dmg? Like in Dark Souls?

I never played Dark Souls, so I cannot compare. However, if I was standing on top of a castle and jumped off normally, I would die. If I used the double jump option, I could prevent the damage. However, if I was too high, then I would still take damage up to death.

The game was also testing catfall. Catfall would allow you to jump 2 or 3 stories into the air and land without damage. I think 0 damage from any height provided that the buff was still active. Of course, this is pre-Alpha testing and all parameters are subject to the possibility of change.

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Catfall_Boots Ignore the fact that the ability is attached to boots, that was just for testing. The ability will be available to specific classes in Ashes.

Why not? Really, I see no reason as to why you should not other than "Not MMORPG". Screw that, push the boundaries here. It soes not have to be insane Nightcrawler crap but a bit to get over some hurdles would be nice..

I hope Steven won't

. I'd personally like to see jumping puzzles though - like in Wildstar or WoW

Being able to climb on top of a mountain or a tree and get a view from there would be pog!

We already saw the thief climbing the side of the tower in one of the promo videos. I think that sort of wall climbing is good enough. I wouldn't want to see people running up the sides of buildings. Unless there is some magic spell involved.

Climbing, using ropes and crawling through small caves would be interesting. But nothing as extreme as medieval Mirrors Edge.

As someone who grew up in the countryside, I totally understand the joy of climbing trees and steep mountains

!

However, I feel that when you implement that into a game, you'll have to put a lot of work into designing the map ......

I enjoyed Shadow of the Colossus immediately after its release and was impressed, but unfortunately I think it would be difficult to find that in Ashes.

That said, if and when it does make it into the game successfully, I'd love to climb a giant tree that's thousands of years old

Agreed!

Some level of parkour would be nice, at least to make the movement across different areas more varied, but the more of this would be added the more issue will start to come up for example, armor weight might need to be added since someone in full plate shouldn't even be capable of jumping properly, mobility would be considered since different types of armor would not allow for the kind of movement necessary. I really do hope to see some basic climbing and what not.

climbing walls and rocks would be cool, also jumping puzzles are great fun and one thing I did on a regular basis in GW2

Beyond Jump Quests, I'd love it if jumping/parkour/other movement skills could be used in a boss fight or two, like:

Jumping to avoid earthquake tremors
A boss you can climb to hit a weakpoint hidden at the top, opening an opportunity for the rest of your team to go ham
Intercept a projectile

If you like parkour go and play Assassin's Creed, MMO games don't need parkour, lol

Don't need, but it would be nice.
Probably falls under scope creep though.

It's feasible that AoC will introduce some types of parkour as Pantheon (another coming out PvX) mmo will be having it.

Khronus

Parkour in real life is dumb. Would be equally as dumb in AoC imo. Give me a jump and I will be happy.

Nuub

I say no to parkour!!!

However....I think that jumping and climbing make me feel like a real explorer and I would absolutely love that. Imagine being a rogue, camouflage active, scaling a cliff face to drop down onto your foes.
