Gamerescape Interview: Summons, Chocobos, Train Tracks and Rocks

[AsterBarnivere]

A puzzle where everyone has to jump to a platform and stand on it to unlock a door (I loved Garliage Citadel for that)

[Hohenheim]

O also maybe like for events like on Easter dress us all like bunnies and make us hop on target on the ground to win a quest it would be so much fun/cute !

AND don't restrict it!!!! No invisible walls@!@

Greetings,

We would like to gather your thoughts about jump and how you would like it to be used (In combat? Getting around obstacles?) so we can pass them along to development team. Please let us know what you think. Thanks!

I would probably jump all the time.

I think it depends on what the developers want to do. If it's just going to be used to traverse terrain it could be done automatically or through the menu when reaching certain locations. But if you want platformer boss battles then perhaps assigning it to a button would be best. There are only so many buttons on the standard controller, but the inputs to target the micro menu and status effects on your character could be combined. (Micro Menu → Status → Micro Menu → ...) Then maybe stick jump to the trigger by default so people are less likely to be jumping all over the place.

That trigger button, man... It's effort! wwww

Please no combat use.

Please yes zone / exploration use, as long as you somehow set it up such that people can /follow you and if you jump, they jump as well to keep up with you.

Double please yes places you can only jump to with a buff active or while on a chocobo after it's been fed gysahl greens or whatever as shortcuts through zones, or scenic routes, although it's probably too late for that kind of idea to make it into zone design.

Also Lalafell should be immune to falling damage by virtue of natural resistance due to being punted constantly.

No jump required strategies for boss battles please if the server optimization isn't up to par. What I mean is I don't want latency being an issue where jumping on time is required because that'll just lead to people bitching.

I do like the idea of jump being used for things like getting across rivers or getting up to a treehouse or something. As long as it doesn't allow jump spamming. If there's one thing that ruins an experience for me, its a bunch of chars jumping twice their own height all over the place when not needed.
I know this is kind of picky but you asked for feedback so there it is. =D

Combat, getting around obstacles, cancelling spells [if toggled] would all be great. Mario type environments are also really fun in MMO settings.

[Rokien]

If I wanted to play a platformer I would go play one.....

Like add a 30 second cool down for jumping or something. I know you are going to add jump, just make it where you can't spam it.... PLEASE!

[Nabiri]

well, you were complaining about bouncing.

Could you PLEASE stop posting in purple? it makes quoting you a pain because it turns all my text after what I copied purple and I have to manually change it back. It's really unnecessary. Colors should really only be used for emphasis....

I wasn't complaining about bouncing at all. I find it odd you thought I was. (Perhaps you're on a witch-hunt to find anyone who appears to disagree with you?) I said it was unappealing to me in PvP.
Okipuit asked, I gave my opinion.
Do you consider all opinions contrary to yours complaining? Perhaps you're complaining because your opinion is contrary to mine then. :x

If you don't like the colour purple you really don't have to quote me now do you? I'm sorry colour offends you. Purple makes me quite happy, that's why I use it. I'm not sure what it has to do with the subject though.

[Hohenheim]

Don't restrict it I really just want to post this endlessly right now, really you don't need to do anything at all with jump just don't restrict it if you have jump don't set invisible walls everywhere its a mmo world in one way or another it should be set up to eventually one day have flyable mounts with the way mmos are set up now a days, don't restrict yourself nothing ruins immersion more than a invisible wall that is what terrain is for!!

[Icecylee]

Don't want jumping to have any real effect in combat, but I'm fine with it being used as an exploration tool.
