Toggle Jump

[Enfarious]

If you can deal with that, you can deal with jump. That goes for everyone else. I also find it annoying when people break out laughing non-stop, and playing around with their moogle weapons. But, you don't see me QQ'ing for a toggle off feature.

I have nothing against jump, and I'll use it when I feel I have to. Over a ledge, a hole, or over a fence. It looks way better than hovering or magically passing through it.

Dunno if you noticed but I said I can deal, and turn around. Saying a toggle would be worth something isn't QQing, not being able to jump and wanting it gone cause i just can't figure out how to make it work would be.

So your also saying here that your ability to read is less than the tits, it's a non-functional jump mechanic, hence "No purpose". So let me know how your fince hopping goes.

Well, there is stuff like Intense Cold (Keristrasza) and Biting Cold (Hodir). Both were mechanics where if you stood still you would get Intense/Biting Cold stacks building on you (which did multiplicative damage on you depending on the number of stacks). One way to keep the effect from stacking on you was jumping in place (because the game registered jumping as movement), which was also very helpful to melee because it meant they could stand in range. There's also stuff like adds that cling to you that you have to shake off by jumping (like the baby crocs in Uldum).

Thats different to me. The movement warms your body to fight the cold and the movement would throw them off of you. Thats not so bad. Btw, when I said annoying I didnt mean enough to make me complain about it.

so where's the disable button for emotes, synthesis, battling, NPCs, 3D graphics, the color purple, hell people even existing. I hate people! I want to turn them off! Not their chat, I want to remove all you annoying people from my game!

Christ, the things people whine about these days...

Everyone finds a reason/excuse to be bothered by something. If you don't let it bother you then nobody will have any reason to abuse it.

Oh, I was focusing on the "think of other uses" part of your post.

My mistake, I wasnt very clear. That was directed towards the dev team.

Wasn't the whole argument for jumping that it allows for more options? I don't see why a toggle that in no way effects jumpers themselves would be such a bad thing. It shouldn't be that hard to add either, considering that it's only an animation and your actual hitbox is still on the ground (if the no function interview is to be believed).

You get arguments that tell us to just deal with it, but why? For an attention hogging animation with no practical use, a toggle would be a fine option to those of us that don't want to see it without bothering the experience of those that do.

We're not here to talk about opposing the implementation of it. So get that through your thick skull.



Why don't you get a grip on reality.



The devs can invoke an invisible wall around that little pebble and there will be no way for you to jump over it because of the invisible wall. Period.

so please ever knowing one, tell me how a toggle will be the oh so wonderful solution of turning jump off so you won't see the jump mechanic happen.

I'm dying to see what this would look like in game- not seeing a jump mechanic happen even though it is happening. /facepalm.

In the end this entire thread boils down to not wanting jump, which is why I said the devs are already adding it due to not only PLAYER request but because it is an MMO standard.

Pretty much the same as it looks now. People walking/running around. Jumping won't add anything to the gameplay, they where pretty clear about that.

While choice is a lovely thing, I would first want to see what not seeing the jump animation while its happening would look like before I agree with a toggle to hide it. I mean if the character jumps but you don't see the animation, what WOULD you see? I find it hard to believe that it would be as if nothing happened (like now for instance, we have no jump... so would a toggle make it look like NOTHING happened at all? as in the character stays on the ground and no movement indicating an action was performed shows?) I mean imagine I jump over something, would a person with the toggle off just see me disappear and reappear where I landed? O.0" that would be odd as hell honestly.
