Please No Jumping.....

[Aiden]

Read that they might add a jump feature for characters.
I hope not, i feel that it might cause a lot of bugs and problems....

like characters getting stuck or ending up in places where they shouldn't be and all sorts of other problems.

If anyone else agrees or not let me know your thoughts....Thank you ^_^

Don't forget that if SE will add jump will be on 2.0 and the maps will be changed. For the little Images they show us on the art concept of 2.0 it seems that there will be areas with different levels of the terrain, also i recall one that was kinda a like a broken bridge, jump might fit perfectly on the new maps.

Ah, about your "feelings" that will be buggy, it depend mostly if the new areas are planned and developed with jump in mind or not.

Anyway IMO jumping will be nice to have, if we have big maps with complex enviroment will be fun to travel and explore them.

if you need to jump then why dont they do something like in XIII or X-II where there are designated specific areas to activate a jump to get to the other side or whatever?

Couldn't agree more. Stuff shouldn't be thrown out because it *might* be buggy. We shouldn't try to implement swimming because it might be buggy. We shouldn't implement NMs on boats/airships because it might be buggy. The list goes on and ok it *might* be buggy but to totally cripple the idea of anything interesting being added because it might be hard to do right is totally the wrong approach.

I want them to push themselves and make FFXIV awesome; so I don't want them to back away from things because they might be hard to implement.

ya i agree but too late to many players who play other MMO like wow enjoy jumping and there views and vote are higher so SE would do anything to keep them playing so far that how it been every patch when people ask for something. Sure some less like idea get idea but stuff like jump would be added and they even thinking of adding swimming can't not be help.

i care less if they add jump as long as there a point for it.

Because it is a awful system... its the same as running straight. There is no fun in a jump that is fixed, the fun part is that you have to calculate and time your jump to get where you want. What i expect they add is levels where you have to climb or jump zone to avoid falling.

Since Dalamund will impact Eorzea the terrain will be pretty mess up and i think that kind of maps will be fit perfectly to the impact zone, maybe where the harder enemys are.

Ahoy! Annoying constant-jumpers ahead!

I doubt SE are going to implement it just for the sake of it and the whole people jumping continuously... that's kinda just an assumption. It could happen but don't you think it might be more a reflection of WoW than everyone in the world? For all you know people who jump constantly might be shamed on our servers and kicked out of linkshells, we just don't know yet.

I'd like to think people ingame are sensible enough to not do that constantly anyway, no one is spamming emotes constantly yet so I'm optimistic.
