    99% of the jumping puzzles weren't actually "puzzles." It's not really a puzzle when the path is linear.

    Jumping or not, I want a real puzzle in this game, be it a proper labyrinth (no minimap, etc.) or some mini-game. Anything that requires more than a second's worth of thought. The closest thing to a puzzle that I can remember was the coloured buttons in Sastasha, which frankly is quite sad.

    We have one in FFXIV already. In Camp Tranquil, as a WHM you have to anticipate the lag to jump to the platform to get the job quests.

    I really enjoyed the clocktower jumping puzzle in GW2 for the halloween event. I never understood why people complained about jumping since I could do it with ease but I don't know if that's just a good connection or whatever... I've never had any lag issues in Titan, either.

    However, I don't think such things would work in FF14 with the way the server records your location in-game. It might work for a small portion of players, but the majority will fail due to lag.

    Would be nice, however it seems silly to add it now. Only way to add it reasonably would be into dungeons, but I'd never set foot in that dungeon. I remember the last game I played that included this in story-mission dungeons... Only game I ever ragequit. So tired of falling through platforms and landing in Lava...

    Here's a link to a bunch of rotation and DPS numbers I wrote up to try help BLM see they aren't as weak as they might think.

    While I'm glad they implemented jumping, I'm not real keen on the idea of jump quests. In few ways is it possible for it to make sense outside of a minigame or something.

    We have our own JP in Mor Dhona, where people see someone on a hut/entrance top, everyone starts jumping randomly to reach it.
