[dev1008] Petition to have Jumping implement

[Evangela]

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.

people who think jumping is not need on XIV maps.... they must never go anywhere else except sitting on their butt in Uldah

there's a lot of cliffs in this game

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.

It's not just for traveling

in example, The Necrologos: Ranine Riveries, Dunsfolks Dinner

you can kill mobs on the upper zone near the camp then you can immediately jump off the cliff to the lower zone for another mobs

Jumping has many thing to do in FFXIV maps
