Not really feeling the whole front flip Dwarfs...

I understand Intrepid is taking its own direction on races and lore for Ashes...Perhaps not trying to fall into fantasy tropes or intellectual property thresholds.

But logically speaking I don't feel a mountain carving and tunneling race (Dünir) would jump flip... "Stoic and stout" seems more rotund, staunch and stocky... a 'regular' jump with perhaps a dodge roll seems a better fit.

(Verbal NDA lifted personal experience alpha tester, So actual hands on impression of the race as it currently being offered)

The islander dwarfs/halflings (Niküa) might seem fine with such athleticism.

I hope Intreprid might already have such details in the pipeline but just not implemented yet.

If not I hope they might reconsider the Jump Flip for mountain dorfs...

Let's get prancing for the Orcs then. Orc Warriors should be able to prance around the fire. How about we get Cossack dancing for elves, that would be great!! Let's get everyone involved in the no one cares about lore argument!

I liked it. Ashes needs to have their own lore and flavor.

I am expecting to see some Ren'Kai Bards prancing.
I have no clue why you might think that Vek cannot prance.

And why shouldn't we? AoC's "orcs" are already quite different to other usual visuals/lore for them. Prancing around a fire could be a ritual warriors do to get blessing from that fire for their upcoming battles. Would make total sense.

And as someone with cossack roots - I'd love if that dance was used by either Py'rai or the Empyrean. And there's literally 0 reason why they couldn't have that dance as part of their culture in Ashes' lore.

How the fuck are yall not tired of THE EXACT SAME lore for any damn fantasy race? People keep saying "oh, this game is boring cause it doesn't do anything new" and then as soon as even a single game tries doing something new with the genre or its staples - people yell and complain about "this is not normal, this should not exist".

Yall are boring as hell.

Who is saying AoC is boring and doing nothing new ?

EverQuest had Dwarf flips fyi.

Do a Barrel Roll !!

I demand Barrel Rolls next. When Diving Underwater, or flying through the Sky on that ugly, orange Dragon.

I'd love to stay and and chat Ludullu_(NiKr) and Dygz.

But I'm up to 53 stars in Super Mario 64.

If you're sick and tired of conventional fantasy lore tropes that have stood the test of time and provided a foundational backbone for successful story telling...

Then perhaps...

Have you tired sticking a dragon up your backside and seeing if it can make you fly Ludullu_(NiKr)?

Mario just wears a hat with wings on it but you need to jump 3 times in a row before you can flip and take off into the rainbow...

As fore not following convention... if that's the case don't put conventional fantasy dwarfs on you pamphlets and box art with no inclination of any from of acrobatic intentions...

The prancing Ork...suits you well...Dygz
