Yeah, because adding a pointless jumping feature was such a good use of those resources in the first place.

Jumping is not pointless, but pointless or not, they are adding it and that's that. Why do people still whine about this?

There are some annoyances in the game that could stand to be fixed, but when you get to the point of making it so some people see certain things and other people see other things, or if someone needs to jump on a ledge and they just slide on to it...yeah, thats not a good feature. that's when the consistency of your game world just goes to crap. which is NOT a worthy trade-off for placating people PRE-EMPTIVELY getting annoyed at jumping.

Yoshida tapped on the space bar and his male miqo’te jumped up (though due to the nature of the current version there wasn’t any animation for it. There are no plans for using the jump for any elements of gameplay it’s just there for those that want to jump. You won’t be able to jump to avoid Ifrit’s attacks or anything.

Because it is pointless. Once it gets introduced, there will be a number of people who constantly spam the spacebar, not intentionally to annoy people, but just because. It happens in every single MMO I've played, and its annoying. If it is just an animation to attract the WoW crowd, then there should be an option to turn it off.

People that wanted jump complaining about the lack of choice are the ones against the option of being able to turn it off despite the fact it won't affect their gameplay. Hypocrites, all of them.

RE: "Resources could be better spent elsewhere."

Fact: they could've also just implemented contextual jumping with fewer resources. Now get over yourselves. You got what you wanted, so you should give some.

Yep, that means it's completely useless. No terrain to cross or anything. I can't dodge plume = useless ability.

Also throwing out the "WoW-crowd" is silly. So Kingdom Hearts, Xenoblade, FFXIII-2, etc all implemented jumping to appeal to the wow crowd? Really? I doubt WoW fans are going to move to this game over a simple jump mechanic.

You'll get over jump like you got over Goobbues, and auto-attack, and instanced content.

I think this is a poor translation. Saying that it wouldn't be used for battle probably would've been more accurate.

We've already seen 2.0 concept art that has gaps we're supposed to jump over, just look at the PDFs.



Edit: I'm trying to find a link to the specific picture, but google is only turning up the art that was just released during E3. It's one of the the forest ruin artworks though.

I don't really see the issue with jump so long as we have some platforming elements to use it...


Otherwise it was just a waste of resources that could have gone else where(as this feature would be a waste of resources, might as well deal with it)

Why are people so against it....?

I will never understand some people. I love on Guild Wars 2 how I can climb to the top of a building somehow and take an awesome screenshot. Or jump on top of a rock area to hide as someone passes by.

But no, jumping is BAD FOR THE GAME. You people suck

[SoapySan]

Everyone complaining on this thread just remember this. You are the 3%! :P

[Zaaku]

Since we will be having a jump action in 2.0

This is how I feel about jump.
