[dev1008] Petition to have Jumping implement

[Nuru]

I know you're being sarcastic, but alot of people equate jump to World of Warcraft (and the like). It's always been annoying when people do this. Probably due to the fact most MMO's look the same.

The fact that WoW even had jump was because it was needed to explore certain parts of a map. The argument here is that FFXIV just doesn't need that yet. It may need it later, and of course, Jumping would be necessary.

jst cuz they add jump doesnt mean itl work automaticaly

they have to go and restrcuture ALL the maps to make it so there is no collision there if jump is used

jump doesnt magicaly just let you move up things and down things

you have no clue how the programming of these things works



all in all, jump is fine to be added, but if it has no purpose other then to get up and down hills and such, why bother
if it has real game functions, then that is another story altogether, but right now the OPs main point is "i dont like running around bushes and cliffs"

... that can be circumnavigated without needing to jump.

It's very easy to see where you can and can't go well before you get there while running around. The mini-map gives you a good representation of where passable spots are as well as impassible ones. There's no reason why those ledges should be a nuisance... unless you're not paying attention to where you're going.

I've never had trouble navigating any of the areas in XIV. There's really no trick or secret to it. Simply pay attention to the land and navigate accordingly.

"Well I want to go forward, but I see a rather tall cliff coming up that I may not be able to get over. However, off to my left I see a grass hill that will take me up there. Okay, so I'll simply veer to the left, go up the hill and be done with it."

Easy as pie.

LOLLLLLL

only allow jumping at cliffs <<< this is 100 times harder than free jump, dev team might need another 6 months to do it for all cliffs in the game

Lol.

The Engine already allows for automatic jumping (see: FFXIII) so how is it 100x harder than free jumping? Free jumping requires more work actually.

At least complain and troll with actual knowledge on the subject.

I mean if they want to add 'jump spots' like FF7, FFX-2 or choose "Jump" command from Home menu

Because FFXIII and it's maps/levels were designed with that in mind. FFXIV was not.

You do know that you basically said that FFXIV's maps were not designed for jumping, right?

Whether it be automatic or free jump.

It wasn't designed with Jobs in mind or auto-attack, Materia etc either.... so your point is?
