New Event......really?

[RiyahArp]

I thought this was gonna be a complaint on how the glasses with /visor clip with almost every single hairstyle. What's wrong with jumping puzzles?

The game uses fixed jumping, i.e. your jumps have a set distance and can't be altered or adjusted in midair. Kind of like the prinny games for PSP. You have a "tap" jump which is one distance and you do by tapping plus jumping, and a long jump you hold and jump. But because you can't adjust jumps in midair, the difficulty is that you overshoot your target a lot. And have to redo a lot of jumping to get back up.

Plus they like to make platforms a lot smaller in visual appearance then they really are. So you have to ignore them, a lot of times you need to land on what is empty air due to the fixed jump.

I did it, i just chuckled because its so SE. You either can deal with jumping puzzles or dislike them, they really aren't all that likable.

There are multiple distances of jumps based on whether you were walking/running before and how long. While the distance can't be adjusted midair, the direction can.

Not that I like ff14 jumping, but the idea that it's 100% set is just incorrect.

Anyway,

Jump puzzles? this is the best they could think of? Now Im certain theyre completely out of ideas

People have asked in various forums for more jump puzzles. It's not laziness to listen to what people ask for, especially for something like moonfire faire which is always a very small event that's supposed to be a giveaway of easy prizes (like emotes).. They ask for it so much that 4.4 will even come with a new MGP event that's going to be a jump puzzle. Tell people, especially in JP, to stop asking for jump puzzles

They are all fixed distances though, and the distance is set once you commit You can't change direction in midair, only on the ground. Most modern games don't actually use this, you control your distance directly and can adjust your jump in midair. Its more of an old school approach and it tends to be used in tough games like Prinny: Can i really be the hero? and Ghosts and Goblins. Kind of an acquired taste, which is why we don't see much use of it in anything but optional content.

Majority of this is incorrect... I could explain so much. But I would say just play the game, experiment, use different classes like ninja animation,... I could go on

The ones for the quest are okay. I’m not a fan of the optional one though.

I've really liked this one.
The optional challenge climb is great.

I didn't realize i have a vertigo and fear of height until i attempted the jumping tower puzzles. Just as I had to leave the jumping towers incomplete. I'll just have to sit this one out also and pay SE $15 a year from now to get the outfit. Way for SE to be inclusive!

I mean without seeming insensitive to your vertigo and fear of height, but the height of the final stage is barely as high as the first 2 stages done. Besides, you only need to finish that repeatable quest and then another quest pops back by the Endless Summer Isle (Where you picked the quest up) for the outfit. Anything beyond that turn-in is optional and not required for the outfit. Worst case scenario you can just shout for someone to pilot you up then on a 2 seat mount. Pretty sure someone would happily pilot you on a mount

I enjoyed the event. It's different from what we normally get, I had fun doing the jump puzzle, and the emote is nice.

[Aylis]

I'm more like...

*logs on or the event*

Talk to the NPCin Limsa "I CAN DO DIS!!"

Go to Costa to talk to another npc "Okay game!"

Talk to npc again, receive emote "Ummmm...okay?"

Talk to event vendor, buy housing event items for 5,000 gil each "Uhhhhhhh?"

*looks at event jump puzzle, acquired emote and housing things already*

"Do.....do I really need to even bother? Just for swimsuit #50 that will just sit in storage?"

I'm not complaining about the puzzle per say. I'm just wondering why even bother putting in anything when everything but that one item is just given to you for doing talky bits >_>

For reals though, here's what I would have really liked for a summer event. I'm sure not everyone would like it but who cares about those guys anyway?

Queue up for a special pvp map (at Costa del Sol?) where class doesn't matter, weapons and actions are all replaced with water guns and water balloons and stuff. Doesn't need to be complicated, just a few actions. Could incorporate heavy, stuns, knockback into the actions.

Losers would still get rewarded of course, but maybe less than the winners.

Now this would be fun! Thumbs up from me!
