[Dev1008] Makeshift Jumping Implementation Poll

[Ceons]

I have not taken a "you're not one of us so leave" stance with people who have different opinions.

Just saying its silly to say to people 'go play rift', 'then go play that X game' or go back to wow. People are here cause they want this game to succeed. Stop telling them to go away, you don't really want that. People going away makes for a very sad lonely mmo....

It makes some sense. If a person wants a game that has certain features, should they...
A) Play the games that have those features
B) Play a game without those features and whine all day about how horrible it is because it doesn't have them, hoping to get it changed

Worth mentioning that it was said in response to someone who constantly bashes FF people as if their opinion doesn't matter & they should leave. So I'd say they're even.

True.

ppl like evangela want to turn this game into some childish c*** ("the game sucks because u cant jump" explains all) instead of just going to one of the other 500 MMOs out there where u can jump around like a rabbit all the time.

What is unlimited jumping good for? Absolutely NOTHING, instead of looking at dozens of ppl jumping around without a break...


I hope the FFXIV devs are a bit like the EVE ones, which dont care about those WoW/Hello Kitty-type players.

You're raging about people jumping in place. Why?

You're raging about people jumping in place. Why?

Have you ever taken a noisy toy away from a child because of the annoying way they spam the noise with the toy?

It's kind of like that with a different sense.

I don't quite make the connection. The annoying squeaky toy is jarring and takes a lot of effort to ignore. Guys jumping in place because they happen to be bored are easy to ignore. That's just me, anyways.

I made the connection for you. It's ok if you don't understand.

I was referring to the person you were quoting. In essence, I agree with you. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Perfect solution.

They can handle jump the same way they handle auto-follow.
When I 2-box, Character A is followed by Character B. When character A stops moving, character B stops moving on Character A's screen, but is running in place on Character B's screen. I'm not 100% positive, but this is probably because Character B isn't changing positions on the x-y plane...so there is no need to display a running animation on any other clients.
If SE was to make jump be a "z" function on an x-y-z plane, they could configure it so that players could either choose to see the "z" plane movement or not. This way, if you want to see jumping, you can do so. If you don't want to see jumping, you don't have to. I mean, we already see ridiculous clipping when players run up and around small hills, so the clipping produced from players that would be jumping wouldn't be all that different.

If you want to jump, you can jump.
If you don't want to jump, you don't jump, and you configure your client to not see other players jump.

Just my 2 cents.

Later all...go Yoshi!!

Not bad at all.
