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

[RyoXander]

I swear some people will find literally ANYTHING to complain about lol. It's not a big deal, click the icon and remove it.

I love jog personally and I'm a pranged main who had peloton become slightly less useful.

If anything I can be less annoyed at all the PRanged DPS who never use it.

This is such a nothingburger of a rant. Imagine complaining about extra optional convenience. (And yeah, it is optional -- I have seen plenty of people in random dungeons who *never* use Sprint throughout the entire dungeon; even if it would have been helpful in some way other than "get place faster brrrrr"; even if they are tanks and Sprint would have helped them take a lot less damage mid-pull. I've not *once* ever seen anyone in those dungeons give them any crap about never using Sprint. It's to the point where I suspect many players don't have it on their hotbars or even know it exists.)

If you at least came at this from the perspective of a phys ranged lamenting about how Peloton is now effectively worthless, then I would have at least understood that to some degree.

I guess you're also the sort to never make use of slidecasting on a caster class because of how "silly" it looks, too?

What is that supposed to mean? Jog is automatically applied to your character when Sprint drops off. Are you seriously trying to tell people "bro, just don't click sprint bro"?

Yes, that's exactly what we are saying. If you don't like running faster (for SOME reason), why would you be using Sprint in the first place?

I also think this is a ridiculous rant.

Normally I wouldn't "bump" something this silly up the forum charts, but for whatever reason it's at the top now.

Topics die when people don't post, folks. Let this one die.

Skill issue. Git gud. /s

Nobody cares dude. Your first post in the topic was to tell people to shut up. No one taking you seriously.

And just to be clear, I think the complaints about Jog are silly. But this shit takes the cake.

What shit takes the cake? I just remembered the POTD issue maybe making something useful out of the jog.
I still abide to what I said.

Edit: I was so confused what you were talking about... but I see what you mean... I have no recollection writing that on the post forum!!!!! That does not excuse it. You are right. Sorry for that rudeness. I am kind of weirded out. I normally do not write such rude comment on forum!

[SuitofDisks]

First of all, love your work here. Big fan. Secondly, I feel like people took this seriously and it reads like satire. Again, big fan.

What?

"Forum Post" is the worst addition to the game - rant

So, this will be a rant about the good old "Forum Post" introduced in 1.0

Forum Post genuinely makes me want to stop playing. I know very well that that sounds strange and stupid, fully aware, but i just HATE the rants about everything, and to have that "forced" upon me actively makes the game worse. When reading reddit I already hated reading every post complaining about the smallest thing, and now having to to that on the forums..? No thanks.

Now i have to choose between always having my character read the forum posts, or be punished for not doing that... I remember when they added special features when quoting others and I was SO hyped about it. Now, I want to remove forums from the internet entirely - though I can already hear people in forum posts yelling at me for not using forum posts. Ugh...

Forums are my favourite place in the internet, but I always hated how the forum posts made me read pointless crap. But I still loved the forum so I ignored it. Now ALL forum posts have an EVEN WORSE psot..! Why..!?

Now, I understand that most people probably love the introduction of forum posts, but personally I've never had an issue with the normal reddit for the past 11 years of playing, and I've no idea why they felt the need to change that. We've got reddit, twitter, Google+, SHOUT in cities, facebook, and this patch even gave us MySpace. WHY on earth do we need forum post too?

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

Again, I know it's a stupid thing to be mad about, but I genuinely feel like it makes my gameplay experience worse, as weird as that may sound.

Okay, rant over...

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

Thanks for reading

Worst? No! Its pointless!

The whole point of jog is to go faster in zones where you can't mount up! Cities and Instances!

• Cities - The whole point of mount farming is, to show them to others, but the only space where you can do this is in cities, the social hubs. It would be easier to simply allow mounts in cities than to add jog! Than you see nothing? In WoW it works! It will also work in FF14.
• Instances - There is no reason to not use mounts there but if you don't want mounts, change the respawn point simply to "10 yalm before the boss" and not "after the last boss".

The implementation of job show me only two things. The dev team have no clue about there own game and who much they do not care about the players. 4 jobs get a call shot to the nuts from them and no compensation like to give them "mounting speed" with there now useless skill!

And for all these who say "we whine about everything", nobody likes it, when you get robbed by the devs for nothing and you get nothing back!
So when you take a class a special ability, give them something back, a toy for a toy!
