    People want jump just to jump, that's all it's going to be used for when they do implement it regardless, since Yoshida has used the word 'emote' in regards to Jump before.

    Never used anything like "Scaling terrain" or "Used in Battle", basically, an animation just so people don't feel tethered to the ground. The only reason not to add it now is because the servers are faulty which they can't even do basic LS options because of it.

    I could care less to have jump in the game and I'd rather not have it take away any dev time to implement which could be focused to either create fun playable content or iron out current issues instead.

    Personaly I find jumping to be silly enough and a cosmetic only jump has zero pourpose whatsoever.

    I still hope they go with "location jump" where when the player reaches a jumpable obstacle only then they get the jump option by pressing "jump key" to scale over it by either climbing or leaping.

    Jumping is not cosmetic only. It cancels spell casts, duh!

    I can't wait to jump in all the haters faces.

    Hold on one second. It is confirmed that jumping is cosmetic only?

    ..../extremefacepalm

    How incredibly LAME is that? So what you are telling me, is that if I am approaching a 2-3 foot cliff that I can't walk up, if I try to jump it my character will just hit an invisible wall?

    God damn.

    That went in the completely wrong direction with this. I was hoping jumping would be Zelda style, where you can only jump in places where you would have to. I was AT LEAST hoping if they went with mainstream jump wherever the fuck you want, that it would have PURPOSE.

    So what you're telling me is there are going to be moronic jumping beans all over the place, and their jumping will never ever serve any purpose other than to look mental?

    Ooops, I think you just caught the tail end of this conversation. Jumping when it comes out in 2.0 won't be cosmetic only as they'll have redesigned all the maps for it. If they added jumping prior to 2.0 then it would be purely a cosmetic thing.

    NO thanks !

    I want jump but I don't want jump like this, I would rather they didn't bother and put their resources into more important issues.
