[dev1008] Petition to have Jumping implement

[Alhanelem]

Yeah, plenty of Mario and Megaman games out there that sates the platforming need, though as the new MMO gamers said:

What they want is an MMO-Platformer, not an MMORPG and not even an MMO'A'RPG.

No, they don't want "an MMO platformer" they just want sensible functionality. Having jump does not mean needing to jump all the time. People aren't looking for Super Mario 3-D Land: The MMO Version. WoW has jumping, and it's occasionally needed/useful but is not over-used by the developers. WoW is not a platformer game.

Both sides of this debate love taking their arguments to extremes, how about a little sensibility around here?

Having jumping != "platforming." The ability to jump does not automatically make a game a "platformer" game.

Funny, you're taking your argument to the extreme and not even bothering to read what all is being stated. You're not even bothering to account for... CONTEXTUAL JUMPING. Implementing jumping with purpose comes down to one of two things: either it becomes a platformer, or jumping is strictly a contextual action.

This wouldn't be so difficult if the people against jumping weren't presenting asinine reasons like "I hate seeing people jump" and "Jumping makes me think of WoW, and because WoW is the devil I don't want it".

Considering that I'd want jumping to jump up ledges, hop over fences and not having to run around every pebble I see on the road, having jump still makes far more sense than being against it.
