dash affects combat, jump doesn't. stupid example.

Who said it does? I mean, you could use it in combat but when would that make any sense?

We have Swiftsong in the game now but nobody would ever dream of using it in actual combat, it's only practical use is instance speed runs.

Oh wait, you've never even played an instance in this game, sorry never mind.

You do know that people have more posts than me.... -.-;

Also why would I be playing the game right now when there is nothing to do. It is a very boring game right now.

Also also, I only really post when I'm at work WHEN I CAN"T PLAY THE GAME. I'm also at work more than I'm at home.

people don't use it in combat because YOU CAN'T, because you lose the buff the moment any mob takes an action against you or you take an action against a mob. have you even played this game before?

That was my point exactly (but thank you for stating the obvious), unless Yoshida & Co. are much, much dumber than we thought, the same exact thing would happen with this TP dash.

Well it is a different skill, and only targets yourself, so it might not be the same as swiftsong.

people are allowed to have differing opinions, but when said differing opinions are just rehashes of the same tired old thread/argument that's been made dozens of times before and cried about for 70+ pages before, it just starts looking stupid.

and i never said it was on the same level, i said they stem from the same basic line of reasoning. you're quite the moron if you can't look at the actual words someone says and consider their denotative definitions before flying off the handle with some irrational mindspew.

because, at root, the reasonings ARE precisely the same. and in case you're STILL having trouble processing, allow me to reiterate:

"i don't like that thing you're doing. it doesn't affect me whatsoever, but i have to SEE it and i don't LIKE that so you shouldn't be able to DO it"

and while we're at it, since you're so quick to play the DERP DERP REER RAWR WHARRGARBL CAN'T I HAVE MY OPINION card, consider your opinions like another person's jump. we'll put up with the eyesore of you posting your opinions if you put up with the eyesore of us jumping.

don't like jumping? want it limited or banned? then keep your damn opinions to yourself just the same.

i love how people always try to use broken logic to support an argument but can't see how awfully it contradicts their own position, or conveniently choose to ignore said contradiction as to pretend they don't weaken their own position as a result of said faulty logic.

how about this: you keep posting your dumb opinions about jump all over the forum just like everyone else, and if it bothers me i can just not read them. and when the time comes we'll keep spamming our dumb jump all over the game, and if it bothers you you can just look the other way.

deal?

You have some serious rage issues man. You act like I'm trying to limit the air you breathe. Find something better to do with your weekend than work yourself into a tizzy and berate people.

My first post wasn't really that strongly worded. It was just a suggestion, which I thought was made politely. But now I'd like to see them restrict jumping just to piss you, and only you, off.

Have a wonderful day!

Not sure how people feel about this, but if this gets enough support maybe we'll see this added? Who knows.

Edit: mistake about GW2-- the stamina gauge is used for dashing, not jumping.

No thanks. Period.

just go jump over the fence and be happy >.>

I think they should just bring stamina back . . . . . for eveything.

Goobbue mount should get jump.

There is a point to the jump in ARR. There will be locations that are just a bit too high (like the logs if you watched the videos) for just walking into and you'll need to jump to gain access to get into these areas to move forward. So the jumping will have a purpose.
But I do see a point in having a refillable gauge for the feature. Watching people bunny hopping is annoying :P. But other than that, there really isn't a reason for it.

And the earth should shake when it lands disrupting the movement of anyone within in certain range. xD

Like a stun that sends off minor stun tremors that can cause a permanent chain reaction of stuns!!!

DO IT NAO SE!

(Kidding ofc lol)


I think if you use a stamina bar they should have to reintroduce it all together (stamina).

However you can use prolonged animations to help prevent jump spamming, basically have a landing animation that lasts a few seconds that can blend into the running animation. So while coming back down he does a sort of lean down (landing) and then a reposition to lean back up. During this time you couldn't jump again (but could still run). They should have a animation a little like this anyways (but less prolonged); Otherwise, it will look like in Oblivion where you could jump on water by never stop jumping (it looked like you never landed on the ground and made it look retarded - WoW also has no delay which creates a weird gliding effect).


But keep in mind in the long run you would only slow down those who want to jump everywhere, not stop it. So its probably easier to not gimp the jump ability with a longer then usual animation - although I like the idea of having stamina that is consumed so in combat you wont jump around.

Yeah true. I could imagine Swiftsong staying in the game just for utility, but if you see the video his TP does regen quite fast, it doesn't take him much to get back what he used in the dash.

If they made the two stack though... Now that would be hilarious.
