Why is everyone just jumping around in the alpha footage?

we get it SE, your engine can handle more than 20 characters at a time...

jumping looks stupid, they should make it a 2hr ability instead....

My exact same thoughts.. I love that it can do that.. but it was a bit much, they did it from start to finish

It is a bit annoying lol

I think it's kind of important to remind people how freely they can move around and how many characters can be on screen... especially after tonight, no?

EDIT: Don't you worry - much like goobbues mounts, the novelty will wear off eventually and you'll only see it en mass when people get into big groups to be goofy. We don't need to limit it so we can leap up one ledge and then just stand around waiting to leap up the next one. It's this type of being afraid that social norms will never settle in that made it so FAVORS was replaced with REQUIRED and now I can't wear all my town gear together anymore (which I'm still bitter about).

maybe they should limit jump, so you can jump every 10 seconds or so~

jumping is fine... lighten up.

I'm betting you all my 2k gil that he is telling the alpha people to jump in spite of all the jump haters.

I think they just want to show how well the engine and server handles that many players.

You realize there must've been at least 300 players following him around, right? If I was in a group like that, during a live streamed event, I'd want to jump too.

You think shooting girl scouts is fun?
What's wrong with you people?

if they'd made it into a - ability - with a timer, it would stop the jump spamming

Yes because jumping and shooting little girls is exactly the same thing.

they're doing what anyone else would be doing when they find out a character is doing a live video: try to get in the camera shot. people aren't just jumping, they're emoting and all kinds of things. they're just messing around.

They should obviously add that to emote spamming too. Or people going into and out of active mode especially with moogle weapons. Or people mounting and unmounting a Chocobo/Goobue/Couerl/Magitek/Ahrima/Shoopuf.

Finally someone understands. Jumping is evil, twisted and unnatural. If man where meant to junp, we would have been born with springs.

Those are for crawling to running. Both feet are not meant to leave the ground!
Or at least not at the height of your whole body, jeez.
That's why gravity pulls em down as fast as it can.

Maybe dalamud destroyed the crushing gravity of 1.0 and we became like Rock Lee when he takes off those weights from his feet.

Actually I wonder if they're going to just lampshade the whole subject or ingrain it into the story somehow.

change the title in "why do ppl create useless threads"

Oh, and don't forget a timer for running in circles.
I hate it when someone ran around me in circle all the time along without a rest ^^

Let it go :)

could say the same for your posts

;DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Jumping would have been fine but people are just going to spam it and it looks stupid. The game worked fine without being able to jump before so I don't see why we need to jump now.

the game works fine being able to jump so i don't see why we don't need it

seriously though can everyone just stop fucking crying for five hours max? not even a full day. just a few hours. can you do that?

you people are the most insufferable lot of players i've ever had the misfortune of encountering. it's like you have some version of tourettes where you get random ticks of bitching and crying and moaning instead of cursing

lol did anyone get command and conquer nostalgia watching the live letter from all the players hp bars flickering or just me? '-'

ok, I am jump hater,
I saw the live and the alpha testers are simply jumping around like those grasshoppers in WoW....
all that stupid.... God I hate that.

It isn't surprised that many people jump around in the live letter. The chance is good that they known that they are now in the live video. And what do people if they see a live camera? They try to get the attention of the audience. The jumping was only a medium to get attention. If there was no jumping, they would have used something else.

My only problem for now is only the high of the jumping, but that can be adjusted later.

It's the novelty, of course everyone is going to be jumping at Alpha/Beta/launch of 2.0. Then people will tone it down because they will get tired of it.

One does not simply get tired of spamming jump and the same goes for complaining.

Because that's what happens when you allow unrestricted jumping in a MMORPG.

You can thank those that demanded it over and over.

I, for one, opposed it since the start, and now I get to say "I told you so".

It's bittersweet.

I'm totally with Anonymoose on that.
It was already debated to death as well.
If only the future could be made of people tolerant to each other and let each and everyone enjoy how they like to play.
We need less walls, both physically and mentally.

I was laughing! They looked like popcorn! XD And calm the flock down people!
