Alpha First Look: Video 3 - The Black Shroud

[Soukyuu]

I wasn't being argumentative. I have no problems with jumping and actually look forward to the added feature. I was just commenting that they said they weren't adding jump for any practical purposes, therefore it's a novelty and there is no "jumping where needed"

I misunderstood you then.
By "jumping where needed" I was referring to jumping over obstacles to make a shortcut (=useful/needed) instead of repeatedly jumping on a flat surface (=useless/annoying)

I've actually walked on the large stump of a tree before (Redwood)...IT'S SUPER AWESOME AND WEIRD...I look forward to reliving that moment in ARR.

I am a lover of trees and hereby APPROVE of the trees in this video. Congratulations!

Gridania ALL THE WAY!


And I hate to be that annoying person who compares the old with the new (I type this as if I'm not going to do that anyway), but this forest looks much better than the previous incarnation of FFXIV.

^_^ Woo hoo!

haha then I misunderstood you as well. Aye it made more sense as to where and when they used jump.

I find it difficult to understand why ppl are bothered by such a small thing. but i suppose some ppl would explode if they didnt have something to whine about.

I assume you've never played a game like WOW, LOTRO, Rift, etc. and had idiots bouncing around like manic five-years-olds while you're trying to interact with NPCs.

It has one useful feature though .. gives me additions to my 'ignore' list of mental defficients I don't want to play with.

The new Black Shround is a loooooot better before it was like a laberinth.
