"Jog" is the worst addition to the game - rant

[Nadda]

Mounts in cities would have been better :3

At least for the bigger ones it be nice. I know that the main cities (Gridania, Limsa, Ul'dah) were split off due to at the time they were too big and too detailed for peoples computers.... but seeing how big cities are now it be nice if those cities were all connected again. (At least Gridania)

But for Tuiyolal and Solution 9 it be really nice to mount up.

*ALSO I stated this already. You can click the Jog buff to deactivate it.

If they adjusted the running animation would that fix your complaint?

Please, at least give me an option to toggle it off permanently...

Simplest solution would be to replace your sprint bind with the following macro:

/ac "sprint"
/ac "sprint"
/ac "sprint"
/ac "sprint"
/ac "sprint"
/ac "sprint"
/ac "sprint"
/ac "sprint"
/ac "sprint"
/ac "sprint"
/ac "sprint"
/ac "sprint" <wait.11>
/statusoff "jog"<wait.10>
/statusoff "jog"
/micon "sprint"

and it will automatically disable the jog effect as soon as it applies (technically after a second but). The two statusoffs are to hit jog in cases where sprint's duration was 10 seconds (i.e. you pressed it in combat then left combat before the check for jog), and the line spam is because macros run one line per frame so multiple lines of the ability loosely approximates queueing sprint in cases where you press the macro while you're in an animation lock or something.

I could not imagine being this soft lol. Its a weird addition. But its nice for jobs that arent MCH, DNC, and BRD so we have access to stuff like Peleton when we are running from location to location in cities. If you really wanna quit the game over it then do it. Uninstall, cancel your sub. You wont though. Youre just complaining over a nothing burger. If you dont like the animation make a macro to cancel the job status like someone posted above. Its not that hard lol.

The jog speed is the same as Peloton. This was an elaborate attempt at rendering the latter fully obsolete, if it wasn't already, which is not so terrible considering how grating the animation and sound effect are. And as useful as it might be getting to the next undertuned alliance raid boss 5% faster just to stand there and wait for stragglers anyway, it could possibly be replaced with another role action.

While I don't have the uh... passionate reaction of the OP, the jog animation is absolutely horrible on my highlander. It's not jogging. Weird, robotic and stilted.

Because, like Peloton, it's just our default run animation (which is an actual jog lol) sped up. I agree that it looks bad, but I don't see them changing it, since they haven't touched that aspect of Peloton since its debut either.

I am not a big fan of the animation but I love this QoL change.

Before this addition buff I have to switch to my range job cast Peleton run to the location switch the job back. Once I am done with the quest/thing I want to do. Switch to range job again and rinse and repeat.

Fix the animation and I am all good

[NightHour]

I think it's a good addition.
