My only problem with jumping is that 99% of jumps will be done out of boredom.

They could add a delay in the animations so jumping can't be spammed. Make the character stumble or pause in movement when they land.

Animation locks for jump! Brilliant!

Damn you FFXI fan boys never give up. Even after SE confirmed the damn feature and even started work on it you still beg for it's dismissal.

So right back at Skyrant_Kangaroomouse and all FFXI fan boys, YOU are the ones who need to get it through your thick skull that jump WILL be implemented.

And please stop acting like WOW invented gaming so that every time you see a feature that game has you go shouting this is too WOWISH... get over yourselves.

Reposting for sweet justice, or something. \o/

Yeah, exactly. They are just going to stop development on jump and the new zones with jump in mind all for a loud mouthed minority with a barbaric MMO agenda. That is totally in their best interest.

Haven't you stopped to think that with 2.0 they don't want to shoot for a niche market of players like yourselves? That's what FFXI was and SE was comfortable with that. They were comfortable with making another MMO for the same group of people til it failed. Maybe they want to be bigger and not lock out a market that is starving for the next best MMO. It's actually a really good time for them to redevelop the game and release 2.0. Leaving out these MMO standards would be a terrible representation of a next gen MMO. Something they are going for.

Sorry. Your niche MMO is dead and is slowly being developed into a more mainstream market in mind. Get over it.

What leaping or skipping?

Damn you FFXI fan boys never give up.

Why do you continually attack a specific playerbase? You do know you can't jump in Rappelz or Ragnarok online right? Why not call out "Ragnarok fanboys"? I swear people that hate FFXI are finding every excuse to blame the people that play that game, it's not their fault FFXIV was poorly received.

just make jump an emote, the the ppl that want jump have a jump /jump. and implement in such away it won't affect the game with ppl jumping around fields like rabbits

[Jennestia]

just make jump an emote,

This is exactly what it's going to be, since Yoshida did mention the word "Emote" in conjunction with Jump. So unless that changes, it is just an animation to make people not feel tied down to the world.

Can't spam jump while playing Triple Triad...


*nudge nudge, wink wink*

I really didn't think this rage would last until now; I don't think it's hard to adapt to a word where you're not tied to the floor, even if other people jump on my screen and I, like, see it. I see lots of bullshit other people do that drives me nuts. (Dealing with others? In an MMO? I mean, if I have to deal with your attitude ruining my good time, you can deal with your own rage at seeing my jumps.)

99% of jumps would be done out of boredom - I agree.
99% of my MMO playing is done out of boredom, too.

[Mishakai]

Jumping is going to be awesome, and annoying the people who don't like it will be even better.

Cry baby tears are some of the best tasting ones out there.
