Collision Detection

[RedAffinity]

They could have adjusted it, to where there's a subtle hint at some level of collision. So that we don't all feel like ghosts. But honestly, all in all, I personally do'nt care either way. But I can definitely respect opinion of those who would want it back.

They took it out because the market wards are steaming piles of donkey ****.

Then they should've gotten rid of collision detection on retainers only and left everything else the way it was. :/

I would say when we are able to jump over other players, they can go ahead and add collision detection back.

That would've made sense, too, but somehow I doubt that the collision system could tell the difference.

Personally, I'm fond of the current setup. Not that I would mind having it back, as long as I never have to deal with it in MW again. . .

Heh, either that or I'm sure these "core programming" or "server" issues are the cause. I really wish we'd get an update on that.

Me and my friends were all pretty upset when collision was removed. I myself am all for immersion in my MMOs. This game only had partial collision and that was perfect. If they can make full collision that's great too. I have played age of conan and I remember people using mammoths to block ways so they added a crouch that allowed you to walk by people. Of course I like the suggestions of being able to nudge by people much better.

Yeah, I think I've had enough of player collision detection with 7 years of playing XI, thank you very much.

I think the collision was removed because of not only the market wards but also the seemingly small step up and downs that had to be walked all the way around in the field.

It was because of this poor programming that led to some players wanting jump added to be able to traverse these small hurdles. Obviously jump couldn't be implemented right away so the decision to completely remove collision came about.

Unfortunately we are now left in a stale world with improper physics, being able to instantly go up a 5-6 foot cliff may be faster and more convenient, but at what price? It just adds to the lifelessness of the world that players' are complaining about.

Conclusion: we are our own worst enemies

People on FFXIV forums make my head explode.

They never want anything.

They want to complain and whine about everything.

@ Topic.. i agree with the Topic tho... i never agree'd with the removing of the collision detection in the first place.

When jumping is enabled, collision with NPC, PC's, and hills and such can be put back in. It is just a temporary fix to the problem while they create jumping animations and such. So just wait people.
