[Dev1008] Makeshift Jumping Implementation Poll

[zaviermhigo]

SE repeating their mistake over and over

they make the game for these nerds, small niche market instead of make it for general MMO players

this game not growing any bigger or even success

I hate to say this, but I have said this to my friends and maybe even one on this forum. MMOs and RPGs were better when they were for niche markets aka nerds, but now that doesn't make money, so they mainstream mass appeal it. My questions is: so the mainstream doesn't like good games? or is the gaming company mainstreaming wrong. Idk i live in Nevada, its not the best state to judge the masses in, eveyone's kinda dumb and hicky, and they wouldn't play video games anyway. Half the kids who call themselves video game nerds play effing call of duty and halo onry lol, will. So i just think sometimes they are missing the appropriate mainstream, those halo and call of duty kids, all play wow when a new expansion comes out, because they are used to spamming crap, i just wonder if by mainstreaming to match these people if they really just made a huge mistake. I don't agree in any streamlining in gaming but maybe i'm older, but shit i'm only 21, so no i'm not older. Dragon Age I great immersive game in my opinion, dragon age II streamlined storyline that kinda left me wanting more in a bad way :/ (like i got ripped off), but when you think 15 months went into Dragon Age II, and thats the kinda of time that went into the basic gameplay of FFXIV also, how good of a game can you make in a year, year and a half, in a market that is liberalizing and streamlining, thus mainstreaming their games :/ Is it the wrong move? money is there, but the masses aren't loyalists like the nerds just sayin.

jumping is one of the reason why this game sucks in general

Rift has jumping. Feel free to leave.

I think the biggest problem SE has had is trying to convince people that FFXIV is an MMO. When they should be trying to convince people its a Final Fantasy.

Yep. Which they are now working on doing.

XI's draw was because it was a Final Fantasy game that happened to be an MMO.

Looking at how many people want less features rather than more, sigh.

Bizarre FFXI(V) fans demanding the game to lack a standard feature which almost every MMO player expects are the game's worst enemy when it comes to attracting new players.

It seems like a lot of them haven't played any other games other than WoW so can't imagine a jump feature that doesn't involve doing a backflip 6ft in the air, as opposed to the ability to hop down a 3ft ledge.

Ah, but I thought FFXIV needed to gain a player base, not lose the few players it has remaining.

so true, these kind of players are holding back the game developing

[BloodLotus]

Because a poll will stop the game devs from developing the game.

Adding useless features won't pull in players.

"Oh wow I can jump now, game is saved!"

Won't exactly happen.

It isn't up to us, don't poll about it, Yoshi is adding it and that is final. Thank god I will actually feel some real immersion

Actually, they were thinking about it at first, and now they pushed it back to lower priority and are not even thinking about it at the moment. They will examine the implementation of it later. Just to clarify what is going on.

I know right? and they haven't even implemented it yet. Just imagine how much more it'd suck if they did.
