[dev1008] Petition to have Jumping implement

[Gracious]

I do NOT think jumping is necessary in the game at this time.

I vote NO on a jumping feature.

Argue all you guys want, but in the long run, its up to the devs. To be honest, there is no telling whether they are implementing it or not, but they really need to give a yes or no so that this argument can finally die.

I also mentioned earlier... and is a question for the people that want jumping.

What kind of jumping do you want? Collision-based? Manual/Free?

Free Jumping is not needed, in my opinion. But Collision-based would probably be the best of both worlds. the fact that it makes your character look more livelier than just walking/running is what people want right?

Great another person afraid to see someone jump in a game. OMG! lets not add jump cause someone might be upset to see another jump *sarcasm*

LMAO, not that he is afraid, but there is no need for Free-Jump. Collision-Based I can support 100% though. Jumping in general is a visual effect, it does not serve any purpose or is needed with the way the world is right now.

fine is not good enough, sorry. People want awesome and that includes jump. Valid argument?

Jumping alone does not equal awesome. Like others have mentioned, if it served a meaningful purpose then maybe.

In a game that needs more important things done, I think it's useless to whine about not having jump now. It's not an all or nothing thing. I wouldn't cry & run away to another game if they ever implemented jump. I just think your arguments for it aren't strong & the game doesn't need it. So it annoys me to see a petition demanding an unimportant thing.

this game is not even "fine"...

True, but not because jump is missing...

Make it a 5 sec cooldown and everytime you spam the cool down increases by 2 seconds until you have jumped 10 times then you can't jump anymore for a whole minute. any other valid arguments besides bunny hopping?

Great idea here. Put in a system to prevent people from abusing it.

Ok now people with the spamming argument what do you have to say?

If its a fixed system where you can only do it in location sensitive events basically sure. I personally would prefer its restricted to Chocobo and the more you jump the faster the chocobos stamina is drained and once you drain its stamina it flys away from you. Then implement areas you can only get too with Chocobos but can leave on foot.

Not much of an argument, but a question.

More like two questions.

1. For the 5th time, would collision-based jumping be good enough? (I cant wait to see this go ignored again.)

2. How would free-jumping be any different from collision-based jumping and/or our current way of being able to scale terrian?

[Aldaine]

Jumping would actually be kind of interesting if they implemented a need for it in dungeon content, or in the world in general. Such as to get to certain areas, or to progress through dungeons you needed to jump over things, or from ledge to ledge or so forth. Makes it a little more interactive.

Let's go for realistic jumping. You'll make it maybe 2-3 feet off the ground if you're good at it. Unarmored. With an empty backpack. In chainmail, forget it.
