Jumping Risk Assessment

[Rowyne]

He's still on the XI dev team and a consultant for FFXIV's team -- he didn't go anywhere actually.

I meant it was time for him to stop being the 'face' of this game. Yoshi-P has now stepped into that role.

Tanaka wasn't even the director of the game

This guy was.

Everybody throws around Tanaka's name because he did the PR for the game and took responsibility for the flop. Rushed design? Tanaka's fault. Inherently bad game direction? Komoto's fault.

Yoshida-P took over for both, though, so he has considerably more on his hands than either of them.

And between the ears.

And between the ears.

LOL, nice one.

[Vesperia]

JUmp?

Oh no, is it contagious?

[Rowyne]

I've got jump fever!

[Ilean]

Moar jumpbell!

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

That seems nice too, but a lot of people just do not want to see it at all.

You also have to consider server response. SE has the lolservers.

So if Jumping was implemented as viewable only to the client, then it could work out nicely, since the reaction time would be instant, and nobody else has to bother seeing other people jump.

Its like how people modded in FFXI, nobody else could see them, only the people that modded their characters could see themselves.

If jumping breaks peoples immersion and they hate to see it wouldn't it be worse to see someone just teleport across a small ravine or constantly blink around you? You still have to see them go from point a to point b you just dont see the realistic part of the reaction. I think that idea is not very good thus why it got ignored.

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.
