Make a limit on Jump

[Rokien]

Add platforming so jumping is actually useful.

I do like the jump quests in guild wars 2, those were fun~

With this attitude we should put a limit on anything anyone find annoying. Put a cooldown on shouts because it's annoying when people start shouting in Uldah. Put a coldown on the amount of steps you can take because it's annoying when people run in circles around me and put a cooldown on emotes.

I welcome this limitless feature with open arms.

There is a shout spam blocker you know.

And latency issues assure that you can never see anyone running around you correctly.

That would be awesome...except that Yoshi already said that 'this isn't an action game' and jumping is mostly cosmetic save for hoping over crates and fences.

Are there areas where you have to use chocobo’s jump to be able to reach?
Y: We don’t have any place set where you need to use jump to get up. This is not an action game so I don’t think it’s right to have people feel “I don’t want to do this anymore” for those not good at climbing steps. We have it where you can jump anywhere so even when traveling through the field so I think it’s enjoyable.

I see, so the jump action was added to enjoy the traveling.
Y: Yes that is correct.

Yippee.

Fun fun fun fun!!

It would be different if it had purpose other than HEY LOOK AT ME JUMP!

I'm sure hopping over small fences and ledges will have its use.

Imagine. And entire dungeon of fences and boxes.

I don't know if you took my post the wrong way, none of those things annoy me I was just saying that with the attitude that we should limit jump because someone finds it annoying then we can put limits on pretty much anything in the game because you will always find someone who finds something in the game annoying, like the examples I gave.

I understand, but we do have personal blockers that keep us from seeing spammed text or physics effects.
I don't really want to bring up the jump toggle issue again, but it's beginning to sound like a good idea for those who prefer not to see it.

That's the thing though, you block it on your screen, it doesn't limit the ones shouting, I'm all for stuff that would block things on your screen as long as it doesn't affect me. If they add a feature that you can turn on/off so you don't see when someone jumps then I'm all for that, it's nothing I would use but I understand that others would. Just don't limit my jumping if I want to jump or shout or whatever.

Jump seemed useful to me in the videos.

As for a toggle:

A toggle to turn off other people jumping is stupid. What would ruin your immersion more: People jumping a lot, or people walking through rocks and fences when you can't actually do that? Jumping isn't something you can just turn off. Your character is moving in the game world. How can you hide that? It will look wrong no matter how you do it. You'll still know they're jumping- the character is moving up and down and left and right, the only way to hide jumping is to hide the fact that they're moving at all.

Why do you care? You wouldn't use it. It wouldn't even effect you.

So I'm not allowed to have an opinion on the existence of a feature or lack thereof if it "doesn't affect me" in your subjective opinion? OK. So what you're saying is that only arguments for filtering out jump are allowed. Nobody is allowed to speak against it, because it "wouldn't affect them because they wouldn't use it."

There is no logical means of implementing this. The server has to literally lie about the player's current position in order for this to happen. I was pointing out the fact that masking people jumping breaks immersion just as much as not masking it. By the only concieveable means of implementing it, immersion (the reason most people give when complaining about this) is broken by players appearing to perform physically impossible movements.

It's not practical to filter out every little thing that bothers a person. I could post to SE and say "it bothers me when people stand around in town." Should SE add an option to make all idle players invisible? SE has better things they could invest their time in.

It's easy to say "they should add an option for <stuff>, because adding options seems like win-win. However, every option added has a development cost. the number of options for various things that they could add to the game is endless- it has to stop somewhere or we won't get content because they're too busy adding every little option to turn off <insert thing here> that <insert person here> doesn't like.

People should just accept that jump is in the game and if they don't like people who jump a lot, then they should simply not associate with such people. Kick them from every party and ignore their tells or block list them. If they annoy you, they don't deserve your time.
