[dev1008] Petition to have Jumping implement

[Sushirom]

People just really don't get that being able to Jump doesn't add anything to the game unless they specifically design it to have a use which most MMOs with a jump mechanic has no use for it other than the ability to jump - So much so that people's only conclusion is it makes you "travel faster" because there's no real use for it.

Jumping over terrain? Won't happen unless they remove every collision detection because all you do while jumping is having an animation for scaling over terrain - XIV already does this without said animation. It's like people think you just plop down a feature and everything else follows, when in reality it's reversed - you need to design a use for it THEN implement the trigger.

You know I thought about the collision walls. But I didn't even consider the NEW platforms that would have to be added for things that are too big to jump in one bound. They would have to add some sort of traction for slopes. So you can accomplish those idiotic narrow wall climbs many games let you do by jumping incessantly.

That can be fixed with a Jump Delay or a "Can't jump while being moved by terrain." exclusion.

My comment still applies though. There has to be something there to "hold" you. Even with a jump delay or a static movement exclusion, you'd be essentially jumping into a slide that you would fall down regardless. Unless square made it so you actually could climb something like that. My point being, there's a lot of effin' vertical walls in Eorzea.

Yeah, But the exclusion would just be an Alpha Box that says "Hah, you can't jump up here."
