SE Please add jump and swiming

[Fensfield]

As far as this debate is going right now, the majority is us and the minority is you so yes... majority wins!

Yeah, because a lot of us popped in, dropped our opinions for any developer or moderator might want to read them, then left so as not to get embroiled in depressing, vitriolic debates like this one.

If you have to invoke majorities, then at least go with the ones actually permeate the boards, not just a transient one exists because Jynx is the only one can stomach getting called a troll over and over rather than leave it to look like one side somehow 'won' by driving everyone with a different opinion to silence.

Frankly I think it better to drop the stupid majority thing altogether; that's for the developers to decide. 'Only thing we need to be doing is expressing our personal opinions, so far as I can see. Hopefully they'll make their decisions based on the number of people expressing one opinion or the other (or just whatever they feel's appropriate), and not the number of people willing to bicker endlessly as to whether one opinion is better than the other.

Besides, 'majority says this so shut up' is.. pretty low. It's in a similar place to 'poll voted for big changes so you don't get to say you dislike things'.

Swimming I'm all for. The only way that could be screwed up is if the animations are stupidly bad or they enable swimming while not in water somehow, and I don't think the developers are that incompetent.

Jump, though? If it's just a glorified emote, then I'd really rather not have it at all, and personally, I'd prefer Final Fantasy XIII's way of doing it as an ideal. Still, just a free jump button would be alright I suppose, if it's made relevant to the game (replacing running along cliff-faces, environments tailored to it..). I'd just have to pray I can stomach the occasional bouncing prat or it's in some way still limited.

'Doubt I'll use it too much however, if only because in order to match the other races' jumping ability my Lalafell will probably look tremendously daft when he jumps. 'Course if they somehow manage to make it look alright ..

Honestly though, jump's pretty much the absolute least important feature I can imagine at present. There are hundreds of things I'd sooner see prioritised, myself.

There, I reiterated my point. Now 'as far as this debate is going right now', the balance of who's arguing what is slightly different - and that's still totally irrelevant! Hurray!
