[dev1008] Petition to have Jumping implement

[bobbygunz]

That all depends on if they actually take that into consideration with the level design. In the current world, it would just be awkward. Especially coming upon cliffs.
Honestly, I think a Zelda style auto-jump would work just fine.

Wow this is so true, because MMOs that have jump don't have cliffs. Everyone knows that!

Funny story, most MMOs with Jumo you can't even use the Jump feature to jump up/down cliffs lol. It's just there as an animation...aka a useless feature. Luckily though, the jump in XIV is useful.

I can't think of one recent example of this.

I love how for FFXIV we have to instruct devs in the basics of game design

Someone has not heard of 2.0 ...

You don't know me very well do you?
I'm aware of the redesign. I'm just saying that implementing it now in the world we have would be pointless, and in some cases counter intuitive. And I hope the 2.0 world has jumping in mind for the design should it really be implemented. And it probably will, I'm not really all that affraid about that possibility.

The cliffs we have now have boundries and sections that you couldn't get back up from should they remove those borders.
Our current maps are not compatable with a pointless jumping mechanic. You may as well add crawling.

Ever heard of a thing called fall damage? Besides, last I heard there was a map redesign anyway.

It sounds stupid, but at the same time I get a little giddy at the idea of being able to jump long distances in a traveling method. Think John Carter from the same titled movie that recently came out. He could jump hundreds of feet, basically one end of a city to another. If anything, make it a gear related ability, some sort of shoes that allow you to defy gravity for long bounds. Rather than a space bar mashing option given to all at one time, something to be worked for by those who really want it and ignored by those who dont. Of course you cant ignore all the people jumping around on your screen, but honestly, what or how is it hurting you if they are?

It is confirmed for sometime after 2.0. It won't be available as 2.0 comes out (unless the planning changed).
