[dev1008] Petition to have Jumping implement

[Tezz_Xivectro]

Yoshi-P:

Examination of the implementation of jumping(moved from Current Tasks as lower priority)
*Implementation dependent upon risk analysis

The main argument against it, as people love to ignore, is they're changing collision detections, which is all jumping is, a movement to get around CD.

Completely true. We do not NEED it.

The game will draw-in more customers & keep existing ones happy in the long run. There are people out there who will not touch an MMO if it does not have jump. It's idiotic, but there are people like that. They're like the "cosmetic" group of people who thrive off character customization & wandering around.

It shouldn't be priority, but it shouldn't be outright dismissed either. Which it isn't according to the letter.
Jump adds freedom & strategy (if designed for) other than just getting around stuff.


@Thread: The jump-spam argument is weak. There are ways to deal with it, find something better. I'll start you off: "If i wanted a platformer, i'd play Mario"

Repetitive arguments is repetitive.

What does it matter if people are annoyed with people jumping? There will always be player created annoyances, that is part of any MMO. You are annoyed with jumping just as people are annoyed with the "advanced collision detection".

People like to nit-pick. There was nothing to argue about the past few days, and now they have something again (even if it's an old argument).
