Jumping confirmed

[Cendres]

about time they're going to add jump. i think its a bit too high though.

You know what? It is too high. It's great we're getting it eventually, there's nothing more annoying then having to swerve around something in the way and yes that does still happen on a regular basis, but it doesn't have to defy physics either. Obviously it's still in the early stages and they've probably not decided just how high it will go yet. So there's hope.

Everything can always change. If enough people say they don't want it they will obviously change their thoughts on the matter. There is obviously a large crowd that are against this decision. So go and debate, let us hear your side. Instead of this inarticulate dribble you keep spewing out at us.

People who think wow invented everything, really need to stop, wow copied good ideas from other mmos. Jumping for instance, correct me if I'm wrong, came from Everquest being one of the first 3d mmorpgs, that you could move in x,y,z axis-es. If you want to blame anyone blame Everquest.

There are 3 major mmo generations, each generation bringing new things to the genre.

Being in the in the 3rd generation of mmos, we need to keep with the times of the genre, we can't be a competitive mmo when we are still sticking with the 2nd generation of movement.

No matter how much you old school players want to keep to the old times, you are living in the past, I am not saying its a bad thing, but don't try and hold back what could be a genre changer. If we let ffxiv get its foot in the door by being in the game generation as its direct competitors, and the devs for ffxiv add things that no other mmo has, that change the genre and improve it. We could be in for a treat.

Perhaps that particular animation was for jumping on the moon..or with a (-) gravity spell.

Still, Its a tech demo so any feedback is largely useless at this point.

I'm largely opposed to jumping (except with DRG). Without any in-game relevance, it's just a me-too gimmick to make FF look like the other MMO games out there.

Plus it seems it's not going to have a purpose other than being able to Jump as I figured it would. (Just an animation), since there's still a good possibility they'll have barriers in place, since when he even first mentioned it he mentioned 'emote', which are largely just animations and no real implementation outside of a few quests.

The emote is probably just an afterthought since Dragoon needs it as an ability as well.

the animation of the character moving, and jumping looks fantastic, tho the height is a bit much. This really does seem to make the game look more fluid, not feel so clunk. After people give it a try I'm sure they will come to love it, people are just afraid of change for some reason.

I don't mind jump being in the game, but it definitely need to be reworked. I don't want to see a Lalafell jumping that high. An NBA player can't even jump that high based on height/jump ratio. I'm positive that was just concept to show that they have something coded and are planning to go with it, but yeah, let's make it a bit more realistic. Lalafell should be able to maybe jump 2 foot high. :P

I'm going to laugh if it's just an animation and doesn't allow you to hurdle anything.

[Zoltan]

Yes, for the love of the twelve, please prevent jumping in cities!!!

The last thing we need is people hopping all over the place like Rift. They have that, and it's a BIG reason that I don't play Rift anymore. It's unnecessary. It doesn't make you move faster.

It's bad enough with the emote spammers.

In fact, I'd like the option to block seeing any jumping animations on my screen.

It wasn't until i got to the 2nd post, did I realized this wasn't referring to DRGs ability... lol
