[Dev1008] Makeshift Jumping Implementation Poll

[Seraphite]

If you don't want to jump just don't jump when they implemented it

unless your real reason is "I don't want to see other jumping around me!" it should be fine

That is my reason.

So since there are already two different threads (actually more, because everyone thinks that their post seems so important that it deserves a separate thread, apparently), you felt the need to open another?

But its not an fps, its a platform/pc MMO and jumping is standard.

Looks like it's not. At least according to this development team, and quite obviously many agree with them. Thankfully, I may add.

Ultimately seeing people jumping around in a MMORPG looks incredibly stupid, especially considering the fact that massive roegadyns in full armor have to jump the same height as lalafells with tiny stumps as legs, which would collide in an extremely jarring way with the realistic art direction of this game. Cartoonish games -> That way.

Yes.

This thread combines the two existing thread and includes a middle ground along with a makeshift poll. This is a different thread that condenses those 3 parts into one thread.

If anything the originals should be buried while this one lives on.

What about a realistic jumping such as Monster hunter? you can jump over only small cliff (realistic height that human can do). and for bigger one, you have to climb it up slowly (but still better than walk around because your character is disable and can't climb it up at all )

note at poll:
In my opinion, I think this is unfair because you separate the people who want jumping into 2 posts (so the vote will be divided psychologically), but only have 1 post for people who not want jumping (get full vote).

I think the fair poll would be "Want jump" vs "No jump" first. and the next step for "unlimit" or "limit" come after the "Want jump" win.

I gave the reason for the third option. There is always a gray area jump and no jump is too black and white to be the only questions on the poll.

You're just upset that my thread is winning.

Also for those whining about the multiple threads thing... I made my thread because the other one is called "Petition to have jumping implemented", as online petitions are an incredibly childish and immature way to get things done, and the OP's post reflected only one side of the argument (if you can even call it a side). So, I made my thread to represent the other side of the leaf in a more civil, polite manner (note the "please" and lack of "petition").

did you really just say that

wow

Atlantica is a turn-base MMORPG

Guild Wars 2 has jumping

and... Ryzom? Star Wars Galaxies? <<< meh

My idea is to make jumping be context sensitive. If you walk up to a cliff, you should see an exclamation mark (similar to when you're near Aetheryte), be able to type /jump or click "Jump" in the menu, thereby having your character jump down the the precipice below.

it can be looked at as "opening a door" of sorts"
most people arent against this type of use of jump, but the most vocal people who want jump dont want this, they wanna just be able to jump all over everything with no limitations(and some want it just to annoy people)

This is what I want to see in-game also. It would solve both sides of the issues; you can still jump and get over things, but only at a logical point. Even if there wasn't a command to hit, it'd be nice if there was an animation when you ran off a small cliff or climb up a small thing. The game feels too slow paced (not in a bad way or anything) to add in a jump that you can do as often as you want.
