Gamerescape Interview: Summons, Chocobos, Train Tracks and Rocks

Like I said, putting a short cooldown on it prevents that problem.

I don't think it should be able to avoid regular attacks, I'm only thinking of using it to avoid ground-based attacks (example: the dig attack used by moles, which is already evadable by running anyway)

I feel like if jumping is going to be in the game, it needs to have some slight functional purpose. Otherwise, the only thing it would be good for is doing the one thing people against it hate most.

I'd rather my opponent face me then run/bounce away like a coward.

People are going to run in PvP. There's really nothing you can do about it. We all have a self-preservation instinct. I don't know of one game of any sort that has successfully eliminated running as a tactic, except in one or two cases by the lame method of making damage reduce your stats, which is unfun from a gameplay perspective because it takes a potentially hopeless situation and makes it even more hopeless. Unless jumping makes you move faster (it shouldn't) it would not be an advantage in situations like this.

I'm not sure who was complaining about bouncing. O.o

well, you were complaining about bouncing.

Could you PLEASE stop posting in purple? it makes quoting you a pain because it turns all my text after what I copied purple and I have to manually change it back. It's really unnecessary. Colors should really only be used for emphasis....
