Jumping Risk Assessment

[Azurus]

It'd be the same as us being able to see people scale a small cliff. I never mentioned people blinking or teleporting. They wont disappear, they just wont be seen jumping. That's it.

Ok my opinion solely...doesnt the cliff slide look stupid to anyone else? And isnt that immersion breaking and non realistic? To all those saying jump has no purpose, isnt scaling terrain a purpose? and isn't it the only reason it needs initially? Once in fights can be tailored to include it. But for some reason the 1/10th of the population that may bunny hop throws people in to a wild rage. I dont understand it and ive played more mmos then i can even remember at the moment, most of which had jump. I think being able to effectively scale terrain in a realistic manner is reason enough for implementation.

If this gets put in I'm going to lead a naked jump marathon in Uldah in celebration.

go for it man, i may not join in but god knows it wont effect me any. Its a wonder what a small camera turn can do for some people, hell i dont even know how bunny hoppers would pay attention with all the menus you constantly have to be cycling through for everything you do. Jump party till your space bar falls off haha

It could be seen as a sort of placeholder for when they have time to work on the mechanics for jumping. That's how i see it.

Then again, they also need to consider catering to those who do not want this game to end up being enhanced versions of WoW, PWI, etc. and to be fair, the majority of the people that post here do not want jump to be implemented. At least not right now.

So there really is no point in continuing these Jumping threads, in the longrun, it is up to the dev team and whether or not they want to work on something like this. It will take a long time to add this in, as they'd have to make changes to the maps, and work on the extra animations. Its not so simple.

I'm sure they wont be keeping the way we scale cliffs, they will think of some way of making it look pretty. just not now.

They should allow players to opt out of jumping.

/jump on
/jump off

If its on, you can jump and see people jump
If its off you can't jump or see people jump

I think you stole my idea; but yes.

If we're going to add jump to the game, I damn well better be allowed the option to turn it off.

As has been said over-and-over, jumping in no way, shape, or form helps a game become more fun; not to mention, that unless a game is literally designed with jumping in mind, it is still entirely useless. So even if jumping ever were to be implemented, you're still not going to be able to get past that invisible wall, period.

A lot of people prefer keyboards, so they don't really consider gamepads.. which is kind of ironic because shit tons of people are going to be playing this on PS3s.

Which is exactly my point, will SE compromise the players options to play this game and force them to go to the keyboard to hit spacebar? They don't have to do that for really anything right now except for chatting. I'm thinking jump is going to be nothing more then a emote or something like what FF13 did.

They could remap the controller though...but if not, so many people going to rage over something as useless and trivial as jump lol.

I don't think you can open your bag to eat food/potions on controller without using the keyboard or mouse. And mouse only if you use the chat specific keyboard setting. Not a big deal at all now, but another small reminder of them not accounting for all scenarios.
