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

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.

You control the buttons you press.

Came here for this comment to set up camp.

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

I think it's a good addition.

This is the most terminally online thing I've ever read. Please log out and go outside.

Just another braindead/immersion-killing addition to a japanese "I only got 1 hr to play each day" theme park fast food "MMO".

What do you think? Do you love Jog, do you HATE it like I do? Or do you not care at all?

For years and years I always switch to a Peloton class whenever I'm in a no-riding area, so I can move as fast as possible. Old habits die slow, so I'm still doing this, and will probably continue - which means I don't care about Jog at all (or even notice it).
And doesn't it fall off anyway as soon as you get aggro? Which means that it's also pointless in dungeons.

Of all the things we got this patch I did not expect anyone actually complaining about "jog". People have been complaining about a lack of speed in the city since what feels like the beginning of time and now we get a fix that works for everyone, it is considered The Worst Of The Worst...?

Yes, you could switch to Peloton, but guess what: Not everyone likes to play a phys ranged job. Not everyone has a phys ranged job. There are actually many people who prefer other jobs, naturally, because there are a lot of jobs and different people like different things. Assuming "just do the stuff people with all jobs on max level do, random sprout" is such an odd take. You also don't always have Peloton in duties because of this, because not every Duty Finder group ever comes with a phys ranged job.

I am glad we have an option to get faster through cities. If the talking animation is clunky: Let's talk about the animation. Peloton being kind of obsolete: Yeah, I get that, it should get a rework because of this (that's why I support the other thread where this exact issue is being debated). But these are minor tweeks to an otherwise great feature, not a way to doom this whole feature solving a problem a lot of people had for ages. (And I'm saying this as a person who has all phys ranged jobs, I don't want to need to switch to one of these jobs every single time I like to get from A to B a little bit faster, and then keep pressing the button repeatedly because it's not permanent.)
