Jumping Risk Assessment

I'd rather see them add arrows affected by gravity before they add a jump feature.

Some people want jump for the same reason they want an AH....because it would display SE showing the ability to change directions in regards to the design philosophies behind this game.

That is why people will always say they want jump.

As far as jump being an "immersion killer".....doesn't hold water, if you think about it.

Watching adventurers not be able to run up and over a 2 foot cliff kills immersion (it still happens). It doesn't bother people who don't want jump when they see other players absolutely clip through entire cliffs and hills? When a mob with a push back move uses it against a player with their back to a wall, for instance, doesn't it kill immersion when the mob is still attacking that player who is magically transported 15 feet away from the attacking mob, but still attacking and taking damage?

Might as well jump. Jump !

People need to get over this. This isn't the main argument against Jump. The main argument is it's simply unneeded at this present time or in the near future and even Yoshida thinks as such by placing it at lower priority than what it was. Most MMOs you jump for the purpose of just to jump. NO USE FOR IT OTHER THAN THE ABILITY TO JUMP. Only a few MMOs actually put the jump feature to use but the grand majority does not.

So the reason people want jump is why they want an AH...they feel it will fix things instantly which it will not.

Wow, there sure is a lot of crying going on in this thread.

Any jump serves the same purpose.

Not when jump is a battle mechanic.

Being able to walk up small walls looks stupid, being able to jump up or down a small hill will look much better. If that is a waste of time, they shouldn't add chocobos either and just have the chocobo NPC give you a 100% run speed buff.

Being able to zip up and down a cliff is just lazy.

Edit: AND OMG YOU MEAN TO TELL ME PEOPLE WANT JUMP SO THAT THEY CAN JUMP!? THAT'S CRAZY!!!

You do know all jump is is a different animation for this, right?

Woah... Really...? Lol.

You could say the same thing about mounts. All they are basically is run speed buffs... Why have character animations at all? Let's just be a a text based adventure!

Get Arrow Helix, then you can jump. In style.
