[dev1008] About Jumping

[Laughlyn]

I cant tell if people want a jump feature to overcome certain obstacles or having a (imo usless) ability to jump just because other mmo's have it or not.

I agree that jumping in WoW was to jump over fences, jump around like crazy in PvP / Battlgrounds, get ontop of objects was convenient to get around (this last part could cause major problems in a game that was'nt intended to have the "Jump" feature in in the first place), hell even the mounts in WoW jumped when it was moving (rawar / yelled when it wasnt) but that was just one of those tiny useless but cool things i guess.

But in a game such as this Final Fantasy & with the current landscape....well it dosent really fit it.
Just imagine going to pick up leves,... and all of a sudden... some huge Roegadyn sitting on the god damn Leve-counter blocking the npc & totally messing up the natural order of things.

lol sure i like jumping ontop of things, explore new ways to get around, but thats how people are, we just cant get enough of finding new things to do, or even ways to bug / annoy other players.
Now... here's lil something i didnt need jump for:

However... jump would probably been faster way to get up on the table.
But no...im very persistant, i used the barrels behind that table & forced my way up there.

Jump should serve a purpose beyong annoying others, trying to get outside the boundries of the game.
I'd suggest skip "Jump", add "slide" down the steep hill instead.

I'd also suggest that SE instead of completly remodelling the landscapes is to make specific areas that can be climbed more visual, add some rock formations, darker gravel paths, anything to show the player... here!, here you can climb the hill easier.

People remember the maps after awhile & also remembers exactly where you can / cannot climb up or down.
