Thread: In regards to Jumping in 2.0/realm reborn

So honestly, I think it'll be ok. Without any additional restrictions.

I'm playing GW too. Maybe you're lucky, but I have yet to see a person jumping randomly. If I see someone jumping its because they're trying to to get the red vistas. Which gives me a hint that I should see where they're trying to platform to. I started with FFXI, so I understand now the ignorant way of thinking that people will hop around for no reason. People don't do that.

Um go play STWOR, WOW, TSW and anything that is current. The "majority" of MMOs you can jump. Trust me its not going to be that bad. Rather someone jump in one spot than darting left to right non stop.

People will jump a lot when the concept is new. When they've been playing for a while, jumping will get old and they will do it a lot less. Just deal with it.

This. Hell, remember when people spammed /pose when it came out last year?

@Lirion Did you... by chance actually read the opening post? I never at any point said that jumping needs to be removed.

Incidentally, did a search for jump and did not see any immediate results, so I thought I'd ask for some thoughts. Did not realize the topic was so taboo. We should really just all say things once and then never expect to hear them again. Perhaps there are so many posts relating to this matter because it actually is something worth considering? Either way, it is but a topic for conversation, nothing more.

A5ko, do you by chance work as a SE QA tester? No? It seems that ranking suggestions by apparent "quality" is something that happens when you do this sort of thing for a job. It is a good thing that I am unbound by such constraints, and can therefore pursue such petty thoughts as: "Hope jumps are not a total mess" and "I wonder why this man obsessed with worthwhile pursuits is not instead out there curing cancer and feeding the hungry as opposed to playing an online game?"

Anyhow, It's good to get your thoughts on the matter. I appreciate the replies!

My apologies, I didn't realise I had to be employed by SE to have an opinion on the matter.

Hardly. The point illustrated is that your penchant for "quality" input would make you an excellent candidate for that position! I am only trying to urge you to your true calling, please, take no offense.
