SE Please add jump and swiming

[Baxter]

at the end of the day i'm sure I will not care. Possibly they could make jumping work with realistic physics where you can't keep hopping and it throws a little ground delay into the mix would make it less annoying. I hope it's not a "feature" needed in gameplay so I don't have to map it.

people want to.

reasons not to add jumping
other people want it.
my char is to fat to jump
it anoys me to see other people having fun
the knee high fence should not be jumped over
running up walls is more realistic
being grounded to the floor makes game feel more realistic
other people might accualy like it.

Adding jump is fine. But it's not necessary at the moment. Concentrate on content, the battle system, jobs, crafting, and things that matter for now.

Jumping and swimming being added... been known for a long time /end thread ... nothing else to say!

You are aware people are against it for more than just to spite people who want jumping implemented right? There are some very real problems that need to be surmounted before it could even be thought of being a good thing for the game.

First things first, server lag makes any content that required jumping or sharp reactions next to impossible. have fun trying to leap that gorge with a 2 second delay on your actions.

Where is the dislike button? I'll just use this flag one.

The same thing can be said about everything that involves moving currently but those you are just supposed to L2P apparently (not necessarily from yourself). There's a very small minority that jumps around like idiots in any game, that isn't reason to avoid it entirely.

Swimming I'm all for. The only way that could be screwed up is if the animations are stupidly bad or they enable swimming while not in water somehow, and I don't think the developers are that incompetent.

Jump, though? If it's just a glorified emote, then I'd really rather not have it at all, and personally, I'd prefer Final Fantasy XIII's way of doing it as an ideal. Still, just a free jump button would be alright I suppose, if it's made relevant to the game (replacing running along cliff-faces, environments tailored to it..). I'd just have to pray I can stomach the occasional bouncing prat or it's in some way still limited.

'Doubt I'll use it too much however, if only because in order to match the other races' jumping ability my Lalafell will probably look tremendously daft when he jumps. 'Course if they somehow manage to make it look alright ..

Honestly though, jump's pretty much the absolute least important feature I can imagine at present. There are hundreds of things I'd sooner see prioritised, myself.

Like what? The whole world is being redesigned in 2.0, so there is no excuse that, "It wasn't designed around jumping."

Pre 2.0 I can understand not having it in, though 2.0 should be designed around jumping since it's already been confirmed, and if it's designed around jumping, there is no reason 2.0 should launch without it.

Jumping has far from been "Confimed" just because Yoshida said it's something he wants, I don't see him quoting exactly "Jumping will be implemented deal with it"

I still see nothing that jump could add to the game, we are still unaware if server lag will still be a issue in 2.0 but as it stands, it's a massive issue. Then again I guess I'm just the kind of guy who doesn't want to "Hop" to avoid a tremmor spell or something silly like that.

While I'm adamantly against jumping, if they do add it, it better have a fundamental role in the game and not just be a glorified way to get past the "Ever so anoying knee high walls" that people whine about to no end. Despite what you think there are alot of people who just don't want it, because they don't like it. They are not doing it just to spite the people who think it's gods gift to MMO's, they just don't think it would be enjoyable to them and therefore don't want it...

But I guess that makes those people stupid or something...right?
