[dev1008] About Jumping

[Rawry]

I'm sorry, but it's spelled. "Myself"

Maturity as well as game smarts!! You must be single. Amirite?

Ok gifthorse is a few fries short of a happy meal.. wait..... no gifthorse is brilliant! YOU are like a happy meal box with 1 overfried fry in it.

On another note, I think unless we can convince Kimahri we NEED jump we don't deserve it. It's like convincing the state to give you more money for schools. Can you PROVE it? HAH! NO U CAN'T! So there! Nyah!

Oh. Neptune it's so funny that you say I need to be convinced if this jump is ever to be implemented. Look up at my posts! I said yes they can bring in jumping! I also said that it needs to be converted to only as a collision detection model. (Rawry you know what this means now!) So why is it that everyone is still butt hurt when they get disagreed with? I asked anyone to post five plausible reasons why a jump should be manually integrated, and nobody has given me more than one. And that was Gifthorse. So at least we know Gifthorse has an I.Q bigger than yours, Neptune!

Darn these posts always coming in while I'm writing one.....

No, Rawry. I'm 32, married to a wonderful woman named Tori in 2004, and also have 3 kids. Ben, Jake, and Emily. Yourself?

to say that the jumpspam apocalypse is going to happen the second it goes live is actually rather insulting to the playerbase.

Erm of all the games ive played that allowed you to "free jump" ive never seen people jump remotely as much as you ppl imply they will. People spam emotes/dancing. Hows that any different? Im sorry dude.. but thats.. a whack reason. lol

Just about everyone I talk to on Selbina shares the same fear of jump-spam. I guess one could blame WoW's chronic misuse of the feature as the base of this fear. And from the maturity level I've observed on these forums, I don't think I can trust the players to not do the same. And knowing that alot of these people have a background in FFXI brings me some amount of shame. Just my two cents.

All in all, I'm not trolling or anything, just wishing to avoid a possible atmosphere-detracting annoyance. Simple pre-emption. I have faith in the devs to consider all pros/cons and choose what will suit the game the best.

Now if only you were able to formulate a proper paragraph. Then maybe you'd be able to convince us that that big head of yours had 1/3rd of the "I.Q" you wish you had, in it. =)

I've been playing wow for 5+ years and have never seen anyone "spam jump" Ive definitely NEVER seen a group of ppl just standing there hitting the space bar repeatedly. lol.. im sorry.. but that's just silly.

ah so you're just a bitter old troll. Gotcha.

Um I dont care enough to tell you anything about my self, random internet guy.

I find it more than a little hilarious that people speak of "Jumping not being part of Final Fantasy games."

Have these people played any Final Fantasy games in the last few years? Watched any of the movies? The characters are basically superhero athletes that can run up the side of buildings. Not being able to jump is silly and archaic, and frankly a little disturbing. The only thing "jumping is not part of," is Final Fantasy XI. And good riddance. This isn't that game, doesn't need to be. Adding a Z-Axis can make content fun and refreshing. Whereas being completely landlocked like a tank feels stiff and cumbersome.

There is no counterargument that isn't completely superfluous. I don't know what game you people played that involved people jumping around to such extremes as to ruin your raging RP hard-on, but I've never seen it. Seriously. I mean good lord, this shouldn't even be a thread.

Funny. I made an account with that free month subscription and seen about 4 people jumping in my first 10 minutes.....Now let's scoot down two weeks where I'm no longer just joining other new people.....Holy hell! Still people jumping while waiting and running around between quests.

(Look! A transition!)

Issachar has a perfectly good reason to worry. People get bored. You said so yourself, Rawry, that you see a lot of /emote strolling around through the chat logs. If people are so bored that they'll slap up /emote then what makes you think they wouldn't do the same with jump? Please in your next post though, try and refrain from pulling away from the subject by interjecting scornful remarks to make yourself seem more elaborate.

Please read through at least a quarter of the forum before posting. You'll find that many people don't wish to just simply not implement the jump feature, but also find other ways in which to promote a Z-Axis point of exploration. Another thread over this topic is "Swimming and underwater content."
