[dev1008] About Jumping

[Abriael]

I also am very much against jumping. There's nothing more immersion-breaking than bunny hoppers.

As an alternative, I would allow players to drop down from higher cliffs and to climb higher level differences, to help walking around more easily. It would make the implementation of jumping redundant and it would be much easier/faster to implement.

Actually, yes there is. There are tons of things. For example, not being able to get over a knee-high ledge.

Bunny hoppers are actually not all that common in other MMOs, anyway, and even when you do see them they're super easy to ignore.

Hopping is what most folk with ADHD do, most of MMO communities are full of said people with said ADHD. lulz

Let me break down why I think jumping is ridiculous.
First of all go through the entire Final Fantasy series. Do you see jumping in any of them? From what I recall no.

We've been fine without the wheel since the dawn of time. Who needs the wheel?

Third of all, jumping does not add anything good to an MMO. Period. Nothing. Nadda. Zippo.

- Evading a special ground-level attack (rolling logs, the sweeping tail of a dragon, a shockwave)
- Imagine a challenging descents down the crater of a volcano. Miss a jump - bye-bye. Or are you scared?
- Jumping out of trapdoors (castle Oztroya)
- (...) <- Space for infinite possibilities.

It makes you look like a bunny rabbit

Why? Did they hire WoWs animation team?

Getting around grid can be a serious pain in the butt sometimes, being able to lower yourself down from certain cliffs would be nice.

implying that there aren't any people with ADHD nor any retarded players on any of the FF MMO games

[Mioko]

The game is not designed to jump and there is so many things they need to change i hope they don't waste anytime on getting characters to jump around would be quit annoying

if area collision prevents you to go over that ledge, simply adding jump will not fix this "issue". You will jump and still not be able to jump over that ledge. Sorry to say that, but thinking that adding jump just because of this is just short-minded.
In case of you didn't notice, there ARE small ledges you cannot get over AND there are ledges that are exactly at the same height as the one you cannot get over but for those you can cross/climb them.


And this is Final Fantasy, not WOW or clones alike. no Jump other than emote-auto-jump when walking on a ledge or something that could have been jumped please :/

I want the jumping, falling system, it will add more dimension to your movement and traveling

if you fall down from the cliff, you'll lose some HP or die if it too high

swimming is good too

you'll feel more excitement with them, doing a quest that sent us to the goblin village which we need to walk on the cliff or if you accidentally fall down to the village you'll get kill by goblins, running away from aggressive monster and jump down to the lake, hiding underwater or some monster only appear in the water... etc

I've play Runes of Magic before, it's just a WoW clone from Taiwan developer but their game mechanic is incredible!
