How to implement jumping in a way that will make everyone happy. (hint: Zelda-style)

Zelda style jumping! Hehe, you got to it pretty fast. Good job.

Now. Who would disagree and why? If even at the least, this was all we got instead.

You know what? That's something I asked myself many times. This isn't the first time something like this has been proposed. It actually happens at least once every page of every discussion about jump. But many seem to be adamantly against it. All or nothing!

Can't wrap my head about it, and the only solution that comes to mind, is that the only reason to be so adamant about implementing that extremely awkward feature called spacebar jump, above every other solution that would be way less obnoxious, is because some can't wait to abuse it.

to add Even if an auto jump ot jump emote were to be put in ppl still will find a way to spam it. So no one will be happy with jump. I like jump for role play same for swimming. But why should that really bug anyone. Players in ffxi spammed dance emotes. /dance4 was their fave. Yet no one screamed remove dance emotes. Infact and I will keep saying this, You find more players in ffxi that spamed /dance4 more often then you would find a WoW spam jumper.

Not much difference in my book.

not me i never spam jumped in WoW for sake of doing it. Me and my b/f went some place to not bug ppl and on a very rare occassion have a jump flip contest on our night elves.

And I said the only reason I dislike the auto jump is it can be fickle. And Zelda is the reason I said it. Auto jump pretty much is annoying. You can get stuck in Jump looping between ledges due to the camera. Or you can over shoot a jump and fall, or jump a hole.

Well I don't think spacebar jump is any more awkward than any other type of jump. I guess if you play enough PC games you just get used to it. And I haven't heard of anyone saying they want jumping just for the sake of abusing it, so I don't know where you're getting that from.
