[dev1008] Petition to have Jumping implement

[TheVedis]

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"

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.

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?

[Evangela]

why they need to redesign all maps to support jumping?

just implement it

you don't need to add more place to jump just because you add jumping to the game

[Kailea_Nagisa]

yes lets push all the important stuff that needs to be implemented to make the core game more robust and enjoyable.... and focus on adding Jump..... yeah -.-

Jump has never been nor is still needed in an MMORPG, WoW and some other MMOs added it, and all you see in those games are people jumping around like rabbits.......

If I want jumping I will go play an action game, or level Dragoon ;p

What is your point? WTF does Jobs or auto-attack have to do with jumping. Seriously dude.. you must be desparate.

They do not need to redesign anything, they can always implement Jumping if they wanted to, but I am guessing that a good reason why they are holding off is because there really is no reason to implement it right now.

[Ceons]

His point is a lot of stuff were not planned for and are still happening. Like auto attack and materia system. Just like that it does not matter if they did not plan to implement a feature. They can do it now, along side all the other features they were not planning to add but now they have to cause the game sucked at release

[Elexia]

You don't need jump in this game.

If you want jump in this game what purpose would it be other than to jump?

Hence why Yoshida put it to near useless levels of being worked and implemented.

for what Eva wants they do have to redesign some stuff
Evas biggest complaint with jump is that she gets stuck on bushes, or cant jump up and down cliffs

even if jump is just "added" it doesnt automaticaly let you do this, you would then have to go back and redesign EVERY map to make it so that the invisible walls that prevent people from going through them(up and down cliffs) are not there
this is pretty much what they have been doing with the collision detection

but for the ability to only be able to reach stuff with jump(over bushes and up cliffs you cant run up) it would require a redesign of stuff, and eva refuses to understand that
