In regards to Jumping in 2.0/realm reborn

[Polive]

Honestly, this is pretty funny. I thought about jumping and thought I'd ask and see what the general consensus is. Came back to this a few days later and suddenly 13 pages? Welp, guess I owe it to the posters to read all of them.

For those who think I am trolling: I am not. The OP was in the form of a question, and I don't see how that meant that I was trying to encroach on your rights as a human being. As for the dead horse thing... well, I did a search for "jump" and "jumping" and saw nothing of relevance initially, so I thought I'd make a quick post. Not everyone surfs these forums. Interestingly, there is apparently still enough to speak of on the subject to justify 13 pages. Evidently some of us enjoy deceased equine violence as a pastime. Or at least... some of us enjoy trash talking in threads as a pastime.

I do think that animation realism is a nice thing to have. I really like the momentum animations in the current version of the game. From what I saw of the gameplay videos for ARR, they seem to either have been removed or are currently absent. That is unfortunate. Small touches like that help with immersion, whether you actively realize it or not. We all enjoy various aspects of the game, and I think it would be a shame if we can't all voice our opinions on those aspects. It is funny that people seem to think that there is some sort of priority on people's thoughts. Someone had to spend time to program these animations in the game that we all play. Heck, even the grass had to have been made by someone, decisions were made at every step of implementation. A game with polish looks better precisely because someone out there cared about the small stuff. No one wanted to replace all the "important" threads with posts about jumps and grass. But if these super serious threads do exist... why are all of you guys posting in this one?

What is perhaps most telling... is the difference in tone between the two sides on this issue. Whereas one, while completely NOT opposed to jumping whatsoever, is asking for possible options to improve its aesthetics, the other side is full of nothing but knee jerk reactions, snide remarks and taunts. Jumping is here to stay, and that is a great thing. But why stop there? Why not ask for some polish? ARR is here precisely because people spoke their minds. Why stop now?

Then you haven't been in enough topics about jumping if you believe this.

Do I really need to? There's literally like 12 pages of exactly what I described right HERE. But here's the really important thing: just because last time this topic was brought up you had a bad experience does not somehow give you the right to be preemptively unkind without provocation.
