I don't see how this thread is just as important as other key points in this game where people are not satisfied....Are you really going to base your decision on either staying or leaving the game based on something as stupid as this? Grow the hell up.

When Kimahri is crying for a mercy kill you know this thread has gotten out of hand.

Yes, just implement it without giving it more though and end up with a crappy update in hands.

Anyway. Jumping should be possible but as a Stamina based action that uses all your stamina as much as the possibility to climb over small elevations or dropping down from ledges. Like a "Press O to climb" or "Press O to drop down"

And I really think this game needs to allow the player the ability to die if one jumps off a high height as the reward for the smart idea of jumping off the cliff.

Perhaps we need a Consolidated list of potential jumping implementations thread


again if we had polling it'd be great. :/

The idea is great for jumping over cliff, but there is one problem you have to think about SE have to deal with it during battle mode. See, if you attack a monster and jump over a cliff or down, will that monster jump also? Or does the monster have to go all the way around to get to you? That is the question. Let me know you guys thoughts.

They do what they've always done... drop down and follow.

I don't know, FFXI works that way. But when I play FFXIV the monster goes all the way around to get to me when I attack them with range on a cliff or down.

Probably due to the invisible walls... that they are getting rid of. In the end it'll probably work like in XI.

See? This is exactly what I said it comes down to. Everybody posting their idea's and not really caring about who thinks different. How about this. You say to implement it or not, and then let the professionals handle the rest? I'm sure that they've had more than enough information with 850 posts about the topic. Not to mention their respective list of references when it comes to hands-on experience in producing best seller video games.

I think they got the picture, grasshopper. Go jump on another thread leaf and make noise now.

Plus Yoshi-P already commented he knows the concerns of people not wanting 'WoW jumping" so yeah.

I for one does not have anything going against any MMO jumping or no jumping. As long as the game play is good and I can enjoy it. period...
