[dev1008] Petition to have Jumping implement

[toshimoog]

from the 10th letter, it's look like they are not going to implement Jumping/falling system because they thought it's a lower priority

They did not say that. According to plan, it will still be implemented, just later, after the more important stuff is fixed first.

lol maybe so

I love how people call the "non jumping" argument baseless.......

You want baseless? ok... I have played 20 MMORPGs pay and free that allowed free jumping, and guess what people did in every single one of them?

Bunny hopped (annoying)
Kangaroo fighting (really annoying)

and in all 20 of them, jump was not really even needed, there was nothing in any of them that really required jumping, it was just added for no real reason.

TRUTH. In every game I've seen that has it, people are springing all over the place like frogs. I feel embarrassed for them whenever I see it. I can't stand to look at it very long. It's even worse when it's in combat. Biggest immersion breaker ever. If FFXIV had free jumping I'd probably have to quit. I don't think I'd be able to role-play anymore.
Being sick at home all the time I need an escape and I like to think of XIV as a place not a game. People springing all over the place kind of kills that for me.

Then you really need a boring game if it'd make you quit... Jumping is soooo gamebreaking lol people crack me up

People who think jumping is game-saving and will bring in the masses are funny too

Didn't say it was gamechanging.. Most people want it so they can clear obstacles or the stupid cliffs you can't seem to 'cross' over.

Personally, I wouldn't mind having jumping as long as it was done automatically. They've already changed the game so that your character moves over obstacles that used to block it. Why not add an automatic jump animation to make it more realistic? But that would be very low priority. Given all the other commands my controller has to be able to allow, I couldn't care less about being able to jump when I want. I do agree that "bunny hopping" and "kangaroo fighting" are extremely annoying and degrade the appearance of MMORPGs.

[Rhen]

Jumping will be fine, so many people dislike bunny hopping and the community is really quick to enforce things (at least in FFXI) that are deemed good manners and habits. I don't anticipate seeing people hop around like in WoW and if they do, I imagine they will be brow beaten.
