How about stop Referencing Wow.. because alot of games have Jump this is no different

Thanks

Why? Because it's people from WoW and the other MMORPGs that wanted this f*cking crap in game when it didn't exist before. So glad all those asshats that wanted jump had the devs waste their time in pandering to your QQing instead of working on REAL issues.

can someone please explain to me why this game needs to have a jump feature? Are there platforming parts in this game? I'm just a little confused as to why we need jumping?

I WANT ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WANTED JUMP TO GO JUMP OFF A CLIFF

[Malakhim]

Yes i wanted jump and we are getting it... i love it now for swimming!

See, while jumping might add new dynamics to combat and obviously zone traversal, it doesn't really imply that new zones would be added.

But swimming, hot damn. Not only can they add more depth(no pun intended) to content like spearfishing, but they can also a whole new slew of zones like underwater ruins, caves, cities, etc. Just think about being able to swim down the Abyss and conduct raids on Sahagin strongholds, or maybe cities lost from the destruction of the 6th Umbral Era. Think of the possibilities for a new aquatic race!

People have been explaining why pretty much since the game launched. Please, read one of those threads and catch yourself up.

The long and the short of it is that this is a standard feature in MMOs though. Regardless of the many other valid reasons, this game has to compete in a market where jump is standard, and last I checked they're not clamoring to have jump removed in Rift or WoW.

The people who have this ridiculous hatred of jump just need to get over it and move on. It's coming, whether you like it or not, because more people want it. That's how both democracies and capitalism work.

In my opinion I don't want jump at all.

There are jumping animations and they are cool because of your lock to the ground.
Just because there are jump animations should not mean your character should jump everywhere.
I don't care about the immersion argument as it can always goes both ways.

I don't want to have to do gimmicky jump games or tactics.

I enjoy so many games without jump and I enjoy some with jump as well. It depends on the game and this game isn't such a game that requires jump. It doesn't need to be a platformer or the next uncharted.

Characters always look weird when they jump. The video is a prime example, even if it is jump "alpha stage".

So what if you have to take the extra step around, enjoy the scenery or take your chocobo. Are we really this lazy we need them to add some feature that is so over the top pointless?

[Cendres]

Obvious troll is obvious. We're getting it, it's in production, you lost this battle, move along.

Then again, without jump, your "moving along" does take you along longer, more awkward paths, whereas I can just bounce right over that hurdle and keep going, so I guess it's understandable you're still struggling with it while most everyone else has long since bounded over that issue.

LOL... +20 This isn't even debatable anymore.... So when the jump feature actually comes out will you people make petitions to have it removed? What a waste of time and thought process.

[Andrien]

about time they're going to add jump. i think its a bit too high though.

[Masamune]

Everything can always change. If enough people say they don't want it they will obviously change their thoughts on the matter. There is obviously a large crowd that are against this decision. So go and debate, let us hear your side. Instead of this inarticulate dribble you keep spewing out at us.
