[dev1008] About Jumping

[BadJoeRed]

Cause that's exactly what happens with jumping features.

So let me get this straight...

These ADHD kids are fine right now.

But if they can jump, and get over annoying and poorly constructed terrain, no longer being landlocked like Sherman Tanks... THEN they're bad.

Christ.

Just Christ.

Maybe you missed the entire point of the 6324872 replies to this thread. Nobody is disputing that the terrain is difficult to navigate. Which is why I suggested 'step up'

We just don't want to see your hyper asses spamming jump everywhere. /jumpingChrist.

"We" Being half the population.

The other half want to be like Super Mario and jump. A lot.

We just want to jump, and not listen to your whining. /JumpingRabbit.

And I don't want to see your anal retentive ass in-game. We can't all have what we want. I think convenience wins out over your abstract hatred of normal, natural locomotion. The "annoying," argument, as it appears, is the only thing the jump-haters seem to have. I think that in of itself is proof that there's no valid reason not to implement it.

Yes yes, it's your opinion and you're a special flower who deserves to be heard and all that. But honestly, because you find people jumping annoying? Annoying how? How anal are you to get irritated at people jumping up and down in an MMO? Are you reading your own text? Does it sound sane to you?



EDIT: Perhaps I'm coming off as a little more abrasive than is perhaps necessary here. If so, I apologize. It's just the absurdity of the fact that this is the most popular thread... For all of FFXIV's issues, THIS! It still hasn't fully been absorbed into my brain. I'm usually very nice, ask any of my victims!

Besides if someone is jump spamming you can just

A) go away
B) look away
C) report them for harassment if they are jump spamming AT you and following you around

Or don't have a jump in the first place, hence A,B and C are not needed and GM's can focus on more imporant things than reports about jump spamming.

by that logic i could say lets not have emotes at all for the same reason.

I'm sorry, do you or one of your children have ADHD? Did I offend you?
Why do you want to jump around like an idiot anyways? I'd guess more than 80% of people don't want to see this. My best guess is because the people who do this are probably 14ish. And while I'm sure that all of you lovely minor teenagers who read these forums are mature role model citizens in the real world, the majority of those other teens are immature nublets who are not pleasant to play an online game with under most circumstances.

EDIT: perhaps I'm coming off as a little more abrasive than perhaps is necessary, but just drop it, you're being stupid. And I mean that in the nicest way possible.

Jumping. In a game. Makes you 14ish.

Your ideas of maturity, of age, of what constitutes the foundation of entertainment, all seem to be based around some strange idea that everything has to be "super serious."

Wouldn't want to break all that immersion while you're being killed by a tiny doll-like cactus.

Your argument isn't an argument. It's simply elitism in the most petty, incomprehensible, self-centered, childish way.

Get over yourself.

I love you.
I gotta say i'm shocked at the arguments against jumping, Just implement jumping! In a week of it being there the people against will realize.... hey wait..... wow that was easy to get over that ledge.... this is kinda cool.... For those people worrying about falling through the floor and all sorts of coding errors and how it will look and stuff, dont worry about it, it's not your job. One of the only good things in FF XIV is the character movement. This game needs a jump.

I'd guess more than 80% of people don't want to see this.

If only 20% of the players were interested in a jump feature, I doubt it would be tabled by Yoshi-P for examination or spawn a heated 80 page debate.

Or do you mean 80% of players don't want to see bunny-hopping?

Either way, where do these figures come from?
