[dev1008] Petition to have Jumping implement

[Preypacer]

Yeah well go play tomb raider and get back to me

Would you like some sugar for those sour grapes? Good grief, I've seen some people become irritated over the jumping issue, but you're ridiculous.

This isn't Tomb Raider and that was a terrible response on your part. You may as well tell him to go check out Super Mario 64 and get back to you.

If you seriously are having that much trouble navigating the world without a jump button, then I have to really wonder what the heck it is you're doing when playing. I've played the game and been in all but one zone... at no time was I unable to get where I needed to without having a jump button. I see a wall or a ledge that looks too high to get over, I alter my course to get around it. Problem solved.

On a comical note: I keep getting this image of you angrily running face first into every cliff or boulder you encounter screaming "JUMP!!!! WHY CAN'T I JUMP?!?! JUMP DAMN YOU!!!"

Perhaps you should go play some Tomb Raider and hop all over the place to your heart's content? You know... get it out of your system?

You talk a lot yet i don't see any of those fabled valid arguments, and there i was getting excited i would see one in that wall of text.

The dev put it as a low priority simply because if you have to chose between jumping and the battle system/jobs etc it's quite clear which deserves more attention at the moment.

So I'm still waiting to see those arguments that are supposedly "there" and that will make me say "hmm... yeah that kind of makes sense."

That's a wall of text to you?

Wow... No wonder you need a jump button.

[Preypacer]

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

... 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.

I could care less if we can jump. Fix the more important things first like content. Seriously people wtf getting worked about jumping when so many things are still not there is unjustified and childish.

Because some people are simply that one-dimensional in their "needs".

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

mmm people seem to forget that there are reasons SE does not want you jumping up/down like that

[Seif]

Who in their right minds thinks these boring leves are such great gameplay scenarios that their existence should prevent the inclusion of new features?

Especially Necrologos are so boring I can't understand why they'd even want to keep those leves in the game.
That's like saying we can't improve controls because the game has badly designed content.

Leves aren't worth it to sacrifice jump feature.

Leave it low priority, go Pugilist, cast Seismic Shock and PUT A SOCK IN YOUR MOUTH! /jk

The cliff in the part 2 video is far too high for your character to jump up anyways (shouldn't even be able to run up it.) Could jump off it, but I would think you'd hurt yourself.
