hahahah how SE got balls and i love it (happy thread please)

We shouldn't forget. Wolfie won the Olympic jumping award in 2008! He is used to jumping up and down slopes. Honestly, I doubt you jump in real life as much as you claim. If you can honestly name the last time you've jumped to dodge an attacking mob or a car about to hit you, then I doubt your sanity. Just saying.

Real world =/= Fantasy world. Also, in every action in game cut scene and in the intro movie for FFXIV, you are seeing a lot of death defying character jumping all over the place. You jump in fantasy driven games. Get over it, hon.

You're right, I don't think I've ever jumped to avoid a car or an attack from another person or animal. That's probably more to do with the fact that I'm not stupid enough to get myself in those situations in the first place.

But I regularly jump off the side of my porch, or when I go walking on trails, or when crossing small streams, or when exercising, or when there's a small obstacle in my way.

But hey man, if you think that just because you're unfit and boring in real life that you shouldn't be jumping, then you can continue not to use the jump feature when/if they put it in. Since, you know, you want to be so realistic with this game and want to emulate your life 100% in the game.

Uh, I've been a dancer for the best part of eight years of my life. I "jump" quite often when I exercise, because jumping is my exercise. Why the doubt of anybody else doing anything physical in real life? You are one of "those" people, I suppose? I'm pretty sure almost all people who argue against jump is not because they don't jump in real life. Get a clue.

I still doubt you jumping off porches as often as you claim. If I call every person in my cell phone, in my area code district and ask, "How many times did you jump today?" or this week, or this month, or this year, unless those people jump often because of a lap of mental stability, or because they are avid sports fans, or because they are avid outdoors people, or working out in some type of class at the gym, the resounding response would be "none," "I didn't jump today," "Don't call me," or a simple hang-up.

Unless you are going to bring a real argument to the table, why don't you spend more time playing the game to learn why jump isn't necessary or is. And assuming people are unfit just shows how immature you are. Why don't you stop being that "type" of person to always argue with people and, as said above, get a clue!

I'm neither for nor against jump. I'm just pointing out the fallacy of Wolfie who thinks everyone who is against jump is a fat person that doesn't do it because of some issue with his or her fat.

10 million gil to whoever correctly guesses the number of times the word "jump" will be used by the time this thread closes.

Do you realize how stupid you look for comparing our daily activities against toons in a fantasy world where people with preternatural abilities kill magical creatures?

"Hello, have you smashed a rat's skull with a battle axe today?"

"Hello, have you and others close by been put to sleep by a flightless bird's fart today?"

"Hello, did you aetheryte ported to work today? No? Did you at least death warp home?"

I don't think people who are against jump are necessarily fat. I'm poking fun at the people who insist that people don't jump around obstacles in real life, mostly because it's simply not true. But also because I also think bringing any sort of real life or realism argument in a game where you cast spells, fight giant dragons and insects, and has "Fantasy" in the name is a stupid, stupid counter argument.

I've posted my thoughts on why jumping should be (or should have been) included multiple times. It opens up a third dimension for your character to move in, and it opens up an entire world of combat mechanics and exploration options with it. It's one of those things that should have been in the game from the start. Of course the game has no need for it NOW, since, you know, the game has been built from the ground up with this feature lacking. But I think it adds enough to the game to warrant its implementation; the game is extremely light on content, they can easily design future content with jumping as an option.

No, but I die a little every time I visit these forums.... ironically enough I can't stop doing it...

Not sure what part of GA you are from, but we use brass knucks to take care of giant rats in North Atlanta.

Too bad I wasn't doing it. Was pointing at the fact someone else was doing it.

Uh, too bad you brought real life into this first by calling people fat. Try again? I'm done with this thread. GG everyone not reading anything besides the last post ^-^ edit** and too bad the last comment wasn't at Wolfie. My statement still stands.

MY way is simple, put jump on the action bar, most of you play with keyboards so you'd just be pressing a number, any number 1-0. Gosh! The action bar is going to change, thats already been said. IWhat exactly are you proposing in contrast with my idea, other than denial?

People are asking for jump because it gives a third dimension to the game, which opens up a lot of possibilities in terms of combat and exploration. There is absolutely no reason why a common, innate action that each character comes with should be on the action bar. It's not tied to classes. You don't see emotes on the action bar, do you?

And for the record, I do jump in real life, because I'm not a boring, unfit slob and it's faster to get past an obstacle by climbing or jumping over it than finding another way around. But that has nothing to do with it, because this game is not realistic and will never be. Take your realism and shove it.



Yeah, actually, I have jumped down small hills, slopes and ledges before. It's faster and safer, assuming that you're fit enough to jump.

What's that about not reading anything but the last post?

Checkmate.

I hope you jump fans are ready for the jankest jump ever. Those of you who hardcore want jump must not know SE history of poorly implementing concepts. You will be jumping into jank invisible walls all the time, and it wont be so you jump over cliffs in uldah and get places faster. It will be so super hilarious, and I will laugh at you.

In real life I go hiking all the time, I don't jump up cliffs, I would break my ankle, that's stupid as crap. I just scale up the cliff, which is essentially what we have now. So you jump fans are asking for less realism, and more stupid crap to be implemented that will be totally broken on release, and won't get you anywhere faster. Its just funny. I'll still be smoking you with my hermes shoes on 30 mins of quick, while you hop like assholes.

Hey now, no need to insult anyone. Cairdeas posted that before Bayohne posted his second comment—which I also posted right here in this thread. So maybe you should do some research before you post things, eh?

Also, learning how to copy and paste links properly is a valuable life skill. Your link is broken.
