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.
(Don't disagree just to disagree, but if you legitimately don't like it)

If you can't think of a reason, good! Maybe they'll think about it.

Oh i know former WoW player/rp'er. I quit just b4 ffxiv launch. And your right they are about the same in my book. If you guys hate jump spammers I hope u hate ffxi /dance4 spammers.... its the same thing.

I dislike auto jump as it can be frustrating. I'm a zelda fan more then an ff fan. And I either over jumped stuff or was in loops lasting 15+ min. When you auto jump the camera tends to follor you more so then button jump and can get in the way. And since if you hit a ledge you auto jump it can be annoying. Like trying to fall down a hole and you auto jump over it. >.> (looking at you Link. couldn't just fall down all the holes I needed you to. )
Plus you still will have auto jump spammers. ppl will jump back and forth between ledges. Which block stuff. And can be more annoying.

pro tip Zora Link was hot. I loved that fish guitar.

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.

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.

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.

Yay! Another jump thread!

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.

I don't think we need another "jump" thread.

The almighty Jump thread consumes and multiplies! That will be our endgame content! Soon as you think its over it strikes again! What heroes will join together and stop this massive beast!
